The only thing I really liked about the post show was the deleted clips. Well, even then, liked isn't the right word, but...
Nothing against Chris Gethard, but I just don't think this series lends itself to the Talking Dead thing.
I was fine with Gethard as a host, my issue was more with the panel being Tommy Dreamer, Chavo Guerrero, and random comedian.
Like if you are going to do a post-show for this, the panel should just be wrestlers and wrestling-adjacent personalities. Maybe bring the comedian on for the Herb Abrams episode, but most of these stories really don't have room for too much in the way of "hilarity ensues" laughter built into them.

I checked out the post-show and did anyone else think it felt gross that someone on the production side said "you know what the post-show panel for this really heavy story about a guy that killed his wife, his child, and then himself needs...A COMEDIAN WITH NO ATTACHMENT TO ANY OF THIS!"

Watching mid 86 WWF and had two questions.
Was Orndorff the first time that the WWF had used the 'friend of Hogan turns on Hogan' - I feel like it is, but might be forgetting something.
Similarly, was it the first time they'd done the 'face returns under a mask' when it came to The Machines gimmick?
Yes to both questions.

These two tweets made me laugh out loud. The supermarket brawl is great but that hospital gimmick is legit one of my top ten angles, top five skits and that bed pan shot never fails to make be a giddy as a schoolgirl. It has to be one of my favorite "shots" in rasslin'. Some more: Big Bubba no selling Dusty's chairshot that merely knocks his hat askew, Captain Lou wrapping the chair around Afa's head leading to the breakup/turn, Dreamer's cane shot on a helpless Raven...
memories,
RAF
p.s. = how could I forget the #1 shot? Piper's coconut strike on Snuka!
My all-time fave is Maxx Payne coming out to bean Jerry Saggs with the guitar after the Broad Street Fight at Slamboree 94. The Nasty Boys vs Cactus and Sullivan was already an insane chaotic match, and then AFTER the bell rings and the crowd is already going nuts, Payne comes out to save Cactus from a beatdown and absolutely wallops Saggs in the head with a guitar and the pop for that is one of my favorite WCW crowd pops of all time.

My wildest wrestling fantasy right now is a co promoted show between GCW and Zona 23 (in the junkyard of course).
There is one scheduled for the first weekend of May if this coronavirus thing levels off by then.
Which of course if obviously, a VERY BIG IF.

I thought we had an Adult Swim thread around here somewhere, but damned if I can find it.
In any case, they've announced that every episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force is now available for free on the Adult Swim app and their website.
They added the complete Dethklok today as well.

I always enjoy when Austin loses the run of himself and just gets sucked into admiring the quality of his own work at length
I really wish they would pad out these upcoming Raws and Smackdowns with an hour of Steve Austin watching and reacting to his favorite matches.

jungle boys dive/no dive at the end of his match
I am a huge Jungle Boy fan and recognize this sort of miscommunication can happen, but I couldn't help but laugh my ass off watching Jake Roberts in the background holding his head down and covering his face to avoid being shown corpsing at that botch.

I approve of whatever photographer's favorite movie is Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion using his - or her - power for the greater good with that Iconics photo.

H2O Wrestling DOES still have a deathmatch show scheduled to take place tomorrow streaming on IWTV.

They’ll probably have to find a place to film out of instead of Daily’s Place for now.
Do the Turner channels still own a studio on Techwood Drive? AEW going to the old 6:05 studio could be a fun little stopgap show. Hell, have a 5-minute "pre-show" at 8PM followed by the show "proper" starting at 8:05PM.

I think it would be great if AEW did a match where the stipulation was that if MJF loses he has to spend the next four weeks of pre-show meet and greets allowing fans to do that poses with him for photo Ops.

If WWE or AEW has to do empty arena shows because of coronavirus, there better be at least one episode where they have the entire roster be the audience like a Dojo show and everyone just issues open challenges and call out opponents in front of the entire roster.
And I'm not going to lie, part of me wants Wrestlemania to happen as planned if only for the entertainment value of how obnoxiously self-congratulatory WWE will be if it happens while other events are dark or empty arena. That will be some "Cartman in the lawn chair eating popcorn" level entertainment.

If they were gonna insist on Shayna streamrolling everyone, she should've went second to last. 2 back to back segments of her just standing there for 4 minutes murdered the crowd. And for as much shit talking the two of them were doing, when Asuka finally got in, the following segment was... underwhelming.
100% agreed on having Shayna go later in the match and steamroll everyone. I like here but she is not someone capable of filling 4 minutes of air space with just taunting, let alone a second 4-minute stretch.
I also have no idea why they didn't have Asuka spit the mist at Shayna immediately upon the pod door opening. It would have been 100% logical for her to do that given how the steamrolling had been going, and would have given a few minutes for Asuka to get some honest-to-goodness hope spots before eventually succumbing.

If he leaves the Pats, it has to be with a team that knows it doesn't stand a chance at winning but the novelty to sell tickets due to Tom Brady being the quarterback is the most alluring thing they can think of currently.
That's why so much talk out here in LA has been based around speculation of the Chargers making a play for him. No one here gives a shit about the Chargers and getting Brady might be the only way to do so, especially with them going to the new stadium this fall.

Glenn Danzig's Verotika hit Vimeo VOD, and I am pretty much telling you everything you need to know when I tell you that the screening I attended last summer started with Danzig's friends singing "Happy Birthday" to him and then two minutes into the movie everyone in the theater started laughing at it.

At first glance $99 seems like a lot considering I'm interested in only two of those events so far. Might just buy them individually unless the other shows are absolute must-watches.
Also looking at GCW to see what they do for the Collective shows. I may be more likely to do the package deal for that assuming they will have one this year.
I am also a bit suspect about paying 99 bucks to watch all of the Wrestlecon shows live when last year Highspots Network had everything in their On Demand library on a next-day delay and that only costs 10 bucks a month.
There are one or two of these I may cherry-pick to watch live, but yeah, I am waiting to see what Collective announces for their FITE.tv packages, as well as what shows IWTV end up showing live to their subscribers.

If there was ever a WWE crossover movie made while they were still churning out straight-to-DVD American Pie spinoffs, this is surely how that one would end. All you need to do is toss Eugene Levy in there somewhere.

I’m not going to defend Tampa but considering WrestleMania is attended by ALOT of people not from the city it is taking place in I think their may be other factors. Perhaps all these people who go for the spectacle from out of town are still going but the die hards who actually pay attention to the shows are turned off by the shitty booking and lack of direction leading up to this particular WrestleMania.
I am genuinely curious if the increase in "wrestling tourism" attendance for Wrestle Kingdom and AEW basically establishing May Las Vegas and September Chicago shows as "destination" wrestling shows has eaten away into the numbers for Wrestlemania this year as well. I don't think it would be out of the realm of possibility to estimate that there are maybe up to 5,000 fans that normally would have traveled to Mania in previous years that spent the money to go to WK or the two big AEW shows last year that are skipping a Mania trip this year.

It's a sling.
From when his arm was injured and he was doing the RNN updates.
Well damn. That's a lot less fun. I was trying to figure out what else it could be and completely forgot about that.

Umm...is there really a Randy Orton throwback that comes with a handbag accessory?
Because if so, that is some serious next-level trolling right there.
EDIT: holy fucking shit. It is real.

I'm honestly worried about him drinking off of all these people and catching something. He's got to only be drinking beers given to him by plants, right? Please?
You know damn well if Russo was booking he would be doing an angle where someone slips a drugged beer to Page.

My favorite WCW stock music moment was when La Parka's WCW theme (which had also been Sabu's theme during his short WCW run) got used as background music on WWF television in an ad for their call-in hotline.

IWTV recently streamed a GCW show from Chicago that took place in May 2018. A deathmatch-heavy show, featuring Janela in one of his last death matches, a pretty insane encounter with modern lucha deathmatch wrestler Ciclope (NOT the WCW luchador, in case that was the source of the "wait, what" comment).
