Cobra Commander

with Mace and Mansoor showing up in Uganda to battle Lord White, I'm pretty sure Lord White has my vote for Best Heel in the 2024 RSPW awards

“Matt Sydal: he’ll do anything (in the ring) for an extra buck”

Unrelated to wrestling but it kinda sucks that the Winehouse song that gets played the most in the US is Rehab because she has some other really good songs

Yuniesky Betancourt (formerly of the Mariners, Royals, Brewers, Royals, and Brewers) was arrested for insurance fraud for staging a car crash for a payout. He's being represented by a public defender, if "trying to scam an insurance company" wasn't enough of a sign that he's briz-oke and has no money

i'm guessing they're gonna try to make the Colli-page 3 hour show the go-home show, even if more people will have watched Dynamite than their Saturday shows, sorta like how it felt when they had both shows back to back the night before the PPV in LA which I forgot the name of

Makes one wish for a world where Amy Winehouse had the opportunity to use the WWE Network to try watching all of 1998 ECW for another Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn matchup

there's plenty of basketball leagues all around the world and I suspect that Jontay could get admitted into the country for some of them as long as the government/team didn't mind the whole gambling accusations thing which means he's gonna get deported from Greece or imprisoned in Russia within the next 2 years

Hook was dressed like a recent HS grad who is working at a garage and insisting he'll go to a 4 year university after spending time at a JC that he isn't enrolled at what i'm trying to say is that Hook looked very Italian tonight

Things I Remember from this week's edition of AEW Dynamite: Missed the first 10 minutes because I turned from Big Bang Theory to MLB Network baseball and forgot to turn back until 7:10 my time so I missed whatever Moxley said. So.. the heel advantage in the Copeland/Willow-Brody/Julia match was that Copeland would have to work exclusively with Brody, because it's not like Julia is actually doing anything physical so they had to layout Willow to cover for that. Also, nice team communication between Copeland and Willow to have Julia lay out Willow and Copeland ignore that and run right past them to take out Brody (how many times has this promotion done the "uh oh, my partner was just layed out in the back and I didn't discover it until I was in the ring" thing? did it multiple times with the Devil angle) also Mercedes did some more stuff The Bucks interrupt a video package and then they face the team of Pac, Penta and Daniel Garcia. From what I recall that seemed like a fun matchup. Chris Jericho looks more and more like Randy the Ram every day. Meanwhile Hook managed to look older than usual with that outfit. Chris Jericho needs to bring back Sammy dressed like Hook so that he can have his own Hook. (actually he needs to take a break but Chris Jericho will never evar do that) Shane Taylor has a big ass. The flag burial thing is still kinda goofy. I got Seth Rollins at WM40 vibes from Trent emerging from the shadows to wipe out guys with a chair as they ran down the ramp. I remembered nothing from Mariah/Deonna except Deonna ran wild at the end. Claudio/Ospreay was a fun one.. but that's not what's closing this card so, we get a Joe sitdown, a Swerve sitdown, and then Swerve comes out to close out the card. AEW continues their war on Modern Family reruns. Apparently all the staff is surrounding Joe to prevent him from doing anything. Also they're here so that Swerve can dive on all of them. Joe standing tall, so maybe they'll change the title. Or not. Who knows. PPV's on Sunday! Got 3 consecutive hours of AEW on Saturday night!

Category: Eurovision music that has become far too relevant at various times ”Push the Button” by Teapacks from 2007 probably for the best to not comment about some things but the Hebrew rapping was fun This finished 24th of 28 in the semifinal because you can’t venture too far outside of the mold in Eurovision unless you’re really awesome

Just gonna imagine Vince discovering the concept of kittens at age 78 and thinking that he can parcel out cats to keep people from testifying against him

“HERE HAVE A CAT MY FRIEND”

Jontay gets banneday for lifeay

I have no idea who would have been booking USWA Texas that year but I suspect Chris’ control over the whole thing was mentioned for how it was sorta Kevin Sullivan-esque, except that Jeannie was never married to Chris in fact, I don’t think they mentioned Jeannie being married to Billy Jack, did they?

Chris Adams vs Steve Austin, come as you are match the ring post spot was truly gnarly looking the finish was… eh..

Wikipedia says Austin adopted Jade (who was all over this episode) Jade was also married to the late Adam Windsor, which I didn’t know.

not sure what Chris Adams was expecting from being in WCW in 1998, like 7 years after his last big run. If he only knew that he could have gravy-trained off of Austin in 1998 (he was in WCW at the end of 97) Booray is an amazingly Southern nickname Chris Adams and Steve Austin had similar tastes in women I thought Missy was in this episode only to find out it was Jeannie DSOTR really expended their "glowing red eyes" budget on this one

I really get the small town vibes from the people tweeting about how Whitey Herzog used to live near them and he came into the store to buy buttermilk (this being in a suburb of 100k+ people). Same sort of dynamic happens with Derrick Thomas stories.

the Royals game for tonight has been postponed but i'm inclined to not cancel the recording just in case I forget to tune in

the whole "find some way to split the titles" was a thing I read going into WM39 but there really wasn't a logical way to make that happen so it seemed like people who were used to Raw and Smackdown champs who wanted to return to Raw and Smackdown champs

Let's go to Peacock and watch some wrestling in preparation for tomorrow/Tuesday night's Dark Side of the Ring World Class Championship Wrestling (5/14/1988) Match 1: Black Bart vs Sweet Brown Sugar Skip Young. Gotta admire the batshit insanity of diving to the floor at the Sportatorium. A Headscissors allows Mark Lowrance to remind us of the promotion's main feud where Michael Hayes is teaming with the Von Erichs. I understand why they mentioned Black Bart is a former World champion but man, that was a bleak period. They also mention that they've moved the hard camera. Black Bart wins with a legdrop off of the second rope. Let's go back to Texas Stadium for the Parade of Champions and boy that place does not look all that full. Black Bart tries to hang Bill Irwin. Kerry beats Iceman King Parsons for the title. They find a large group of fans to film. Jack Victory and John Tatum have some words for the Simpsons. John Tatum looks like he's going through a midlife crisis. I guess Jimmy Garvin has been gone long enough for John Tatum to use "It wasn't our fault" We go back to Texas Stadium for more clips from Parade of Champions. This time it's the triple cage match. Meanwhile Steve Simpson just took some Freebird Hair Cream in the eyes. Hey, an ad for Starburst. Michael Hayes brings it on promos at least. Match 2: Hollywood John Tatum and Jack Victory vs The Missing Link and Jason Sterling. I have no idea who the fuck Jason Sterling is. Jason Sterling looks like a tiny Peter Brady with Mike Brady's curly hair. He's also in jungle trunks. Missing Link and Jason Sterling have a lady friend. Sterling hitting dropkicks and getting fired up. Jack Victory towers over Jason Sterling and Jack Victory is billed at 6'3. Holy hell Tatum and Victory just tossed Sterling over the top rope like they were throwing a bag of trash into a trash truck in a spot that nobody should show Darby Allin. Going to CageMatch and Jason Sterling worked as Dewey Robertson Jr, so basically he's Mark Ragin to Link's The Destroyer. Heels win with a doubleteam hot shot on Sterling. And it's time for our main event.. Chris Adams vs Terry Taylor. Chris Adams has a facemask. Amazing Terry selling of a superkick to the gut. Adams no sells a headsmash on the table and then headbutt's Terry which he sells like he's being faith-healed by Benny Hinn. Mark Lowrance trying to find ways to justify why Bronko didn't count them out. The Mask comes off for a moment which means it's time for Terry to get hit by the mask. Lots of crowdshots because if you've stuck with this promotion into 1988, you deserve TV time. Commercial break and we return on the outside. Terry Taylor counters an piledriver attempt by finding the nearest stairs and sitting on them. Lowrance will keep mentioning how Bronko won't count these guys out like we don't know Bronko counts slow. Taylor starts working on Adams' injured hand, so he has multiple on-screen injuries. Nice taunting by Terry during a wristlock. That chinlock really shows us that Chris Adams is wearing a catchers mask. I think Terry just did a version of the Ric Flair/Tommy Young spot with Bronko. Mike George and Masa Chono run in for the DQ. Mike George is a Central States guy who has the physique of Meat Loaf. Chono accidentally hits Mike George with a leg lariat and eats a Superkick from Chris Adams. Terry Taylor flees with Chris Adams following. Well that was an hour of wrestling alright. Terry Taylor putting the work in for that one.

Sami shakes hands with James Randi post match, goes to his wife, and there's the Chad Gable heel turn

Ladies and gentlemen, wrestling is back

Tama came from New Japan. He was offended by the lack of match quality.

yeah I figure that past a certain level, you're not necessarily getting printed bank statements like the more ordinary people (and you're probably not putting all of your money in one bank if you're really rich)
