    It’ll be interesting to see which show is the A show five years from now.  I’m skeptical a lot of the audience will follow Raw to streaming if they don’t already subscribe to Netflix.  I’m probably not a good example but I watch a watch a bit of Raw here and there.  Now that I’ll no longer be able to channel surf by and linger, I’ll probably end up watching zero minutes of Raw in 2025.  I already subscribe to Netflix.

     

    The A show has been Smackdown ever since they moved to FOX. We'll see how things go from here.

    It's probably good that I'm not on creative because Pretty Deadly would be all over television. I can't explain exactly why but I love those guys.

    Bailey talking about Ripley has me hoping it's just misdirection. To me the obvious story is her getting kicked out of Damage Control and going after Io. 

    Pretty Deadly rules because they're one of the only silly gimmicks there right now, while also being solid workers and a good team.

    Seeing how far away it is from anything literally hurt my soul, especially on a Thursday night. But missing out would hurt even more. Got my ticket with Rev Ray last night... it'll be my first show since G1 Supercard, so almost literally 5 years to the day.

    I got my flight booked today. Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Last show we were at together was JAPW in 2006.

    Hits keep on coming. Priest is damned good, and super excited he’s on the card.

     

    I’ve had similar thoughts as well. I am at the moment figuring out the means to fly out from the Midwest to see this live and would love a hang out before hand.

    Also, wanted to thank you in person Johnny for introducing a poor lost teenager posting on Prowrestling.net that wanted more intelligent conversation that this was the place for me some twenty years ago.

    Well don't use Priceline/ Expedia. They fucked me last year. I'll tell you all about it at the show, man.

    some on Reddit/SC is much meaner than me and typed this about Jack Perry's look tonight:

    "He looks like Danny Masterson broke out of prison and has been living on the run in an old school bus in the woods"

    I was thinking " Dan Haggerty got left in a dryer too long", but that's way better.

  6. I just watched "Sorcerer" for the first time last night. I'd heard the guys on my fav podcast "Action Boyz" talk about it and I just finished William Friedkin's memoir  two weeks ago so I HAD to finally see it. I really enjoyed it. I need to see " The Wages of Fear" now as Sorcerer is a remake. I can't recommend Friedkin's book enough, it's a blast. And the stories about making "Sorcerer" are fucking bananas.  It was a gigantic flop both at the box office and critically. And it came out the week before Star Wars, which is another reason it faded away real quick. 

    edit: And that Tangerine Dream score is awesome.

  7. Rewatching Northern Exposure and in season one there's an episode with a weird Twin Peaks spoof/ homage bit on it. It's wild since TO was on ABC at the time and NE was on CBS. It reminded me of how the early 90's had a lot of "experimental " TV. Twin Peaks, Northern Exposure, Picket Fences, Cop Rock, and more.

    First of all, this movie is awesome and I'll hear no dissent. It has no flaws. 

    Secondly, I graduated in 1990 from a high school polar opposite from Footloose High - inner city, 75% black, blah blah blah. School dances were banned within our city limits. We actuality had to have prom a few miles away because of that. 

    Footloose was a fucking transformative event for me in 1984. I was 13 going on 14 and it was a smash. All we had in our small New Jersey town was going to the movies the next town over back then. Footloose was our " Rebel Without A Cause".  We didn't live in a town that hated dance, music, or books, but it was the sticks. I was the first kid in Eighth grade to get a spiked haircut because of Footloose.

  9. That was a really fun show that cooked. Santos vs. Owens ripped. I hated the Lashley promo. They had to make him and the Profits babyface because the crowds loved their heel act... but this promo wasn't badass Bobby. Besides that, I dig that they're gonna feud with Precious Paul Ellering, the AoP, Scarlett, and Kross. I love that Kross is the fifth most over person in this group . It's the only time I've given a fuck about him. I love that HHH is just trying everything with this guy, and I kinda dig that Gang Warz are back.

    Oh, and that finish/ angle for the main event was the most ECW type booking in awhile . And it was good, Aldis has been great so far.

    I have been slightly surprised not to have seen some kind of Super Dragon appearance in AEW and doing a Mount Rushmore could maybe work ...but yeah the explanation it would need feels too tedious.

    I'm waiting for my pal TARO to get  the call from TK via Excalibur to join AEW so I can get a toehold in wrestling.

  11. It's a Christmas Miracle in Denver!? Holy shit, my family had given up and the room just exploded as they tied this game!

    Edit: And now my brother in law who had given up and then got excited , is all despondent. Lol.

  12. I just read Kliph Nesterhoff"s new book, "Outrageous: Show Biz and the Culture Wars" in two days. It's fantastic,  informative,  and funny. Highly recommended.  

    I'm about to start "The Friedkin Connection ", William Friedkin's memoir. I heard it was wild.
