  1. To add on, I've seen Colorado Eagles hockey at that Arena in Loveland, and it's awesome. It's also where I saw a few WWE House shows over the years, but not in awhile. They moved their house shows to the Late,  Great First Bank Center in Broomfield outside Denver until business got hot here again around 2021. Now every show is in Denver at the Ball Arena. I went to two Dynamites at the FBC, lots of WWE shows, and lots of concerts. That place ruled.

    Anyway, as I ramble on, I also saw TNA at the Loveland Arena back in 2009. There was about 249 people there. And it was a great show. The main event was Samoa Joe vs AJ Styles, Homicide was on the card.....the last time I'd seen them was three years earlier in ROH in front of way bigger crowds. I had a blast though and so did the other 248 people. 
    edit: I also had Earl Hebner give me his autograph even though I didn't ask for it. I got Hebnered. I was at ringside after the show where I watched a scene go on in the ring that involved a poor woman who looked like the mom from Gilbert Grape get in and out of the ring to have her pic taken with AJ Styles. As I'm watching all this with my ticket stub in my hand, Hebner walks over and signs it like a fucking big shot, then moves on as I'm surprised. 
    Im hoping for a fun show there. Lots of good vibes in that place. Shit, I took my nephew to Wild Kratts Live there and he saw Cena there when he was five, when Cena, Mysterio, and New Day were his heroes.

  2. I got an e mail yesterday announcing that AEW is running Dynamite on my birthday 6/5 in Loveland, CO. Pre sale was today so I grabbed tix for me and my bud. To be honest, my interest in AEW is at a low point but live TV wrestling 40 minutes away on my birthday? Shit, I'm down.

    why they probably don't look at the few non-televised live events they run as something they want to do anyway. Probably view them as antiquated and unnecessary injury risk.

    Actually, WWE has been running a lot of house show tours over the past two or three years. They just announced a bunch more on RAW tonight. It's not like the 90's grind, but they're out there touring.

    Did the crowd seem dead for the most part or is sleep deprived me making a mistake?

    It's cold as fuck, it's open air, and by the main event people were tired. There were times the crowd was trying to sing Rollins song but without the music, it was tons of people going " Ohhhh, Ohhh, Oh" unsynchronized . So it sounded weird.

  5. The show was incredible. It was so great to hang with Pete and Ray again after all these years, and to get to meet in person so many cool folks from the board/ internet. Makabe was a guest on one of my podcasts a few years ago, and getting to talk and hang with him a bit was a blast.  The entire night was amazing.

    Gregg and I should be there 7ish. I’m not sure where my old lucha masks are (still not unpacked despite moving 7 months ago) but I’ll probably be wearing an old (as in the band, not the age of the shirt) punk rock band shirt in honor of DEAN~! as I don’t have any cool wrestling shirts.

    Also, I have an email with my ticket receipt but no actual ticket link or pdf. Hopefully, that’s enough to get in?

    You just need your e mail confirmation .

    There is a Memphis show I watched from 1982 recently with the then "original" Midnights (Condrey, Rose, and Norvell Austin), Bobby Eaton, Stan Lane, Ricky Morton, I think Robert Gibson tagging with his brother, and also Steve Keirn. 

    My favorite part of watching old Memphis is seeing all the parts of what will be some of the greatest tag teams of all time, just floating around together. It's like the universe settling down after the Big Bang.

  8. I just put all the finishing touches on my trip home for the show. Nothing left to do but be in vacation mind for the next week at work. One last thing, theres an Italian place 7 minutes away from the arena that looks awesome and they take reservations.

    Let's pre show with pizza and calamari. If you're going and are down for a get together, I'll take care of making the reservation. As long as that doesn't cost anything. Ya never know...

  9. That bit on the Oscars with the five people fawning during the acting awards was fucking awful. Like, cringe level awful. It got to a point where it was hilarious how bad an idea it was. 
    I loved all the Best Song performances . Billie Eilish killed and "I'm Just Ken" was a blast.

    Go figure that it is Oscar night and Friedkin Uncut is just finishing up on TV. He closes with the following line, Re: film competitions, whether it be Cannes or the Oscars or whoever:

    "But I don't want a bunch of schmucks that call themselves judges sitting in a fucking room saying "Oh, La Dolce Vita is not as good as Batman vs. Superman." Fuck them and the horse they rode in on and the ship that brought them over here and the dog that walks behind them. Fuck them all! Except nine people. Fuck 'em all except six road guides, two pallbearers, and one to count cadence."

    😆

    We'll miss ya, Billy.

    I read " The Friedkin Connection " a couple of months ago and it's the best.

  11. I watched "The Holdovers" tonight and I absolutely loved it. It's everything I want in a movie. It looks beautiful, the music is awesome, it hits both comedically and poignantly, and the performances are incredible. I laughed and cried in a way that felt real. Paul Giamatti has to win Best Actor, right?  I hope so. I've loved him since Private Parts.

  12. SD was fucking fun tonight! I know a lot of you don't notice or care, but holy shit. There's been so many changes in the presentation, almost all for the better, that it's nirvana for me. The announcing alone on WWE has gotten so much better now that an insane rapist isn't screaming at them. Cole and Graves have both recently said, in a political, safe way that no one is "producing" them anymore.

  13. Y'all gotta check out the George Jones tribute concert from Great Performances on PBS. I just watched it and was loving it and then all of a sudden, Uncle Kracka ? Then a little later it was Jellyroll. I'd never heard him sing before. He sounds like the best guy at Karaoke on a Saturday night in Boulder. But overall, it's an incredible show.
