Refresh my memory… Did they make it to ‘86 on the Network before Peacock?
Yeah - the last episode put up on the Network was May 17, 1986, which I think was the effective end of MACW being called that name.

The White Sox have extended Lance Lynn for another two years and $38 million, with a club option year for 2024.

Kevan Smith had a classic start to his MLB career in 2016, and by “classic start”, I mean “hurt himself during pre-game stretching and go immediately on the injured list.”

Counterpoint: as the current Mets ownership is neither financially-constrained by nor responsible for said contract, they should absolutely turn it into a lighthearted farce.

The Ted DiBiase back bump, where he'd do a semi-head stand while rolling backwards.
That very same DiBiase bump for Savage’s great “jump over the top rope neck-snap” was the best:

Madison Bumgarner threw a 7 inning no hitter than MLB will now pretend never happened
The story is listed on the MLB.com homepage as "Bumgarner throws 7-inning no-hitter", there's inclusion in the "no-hitters that went fewer than 9 innings" evergreen article on same, the video is listed as "Bumgarner finishes 7 no-hit frames", etc...

Sounds delightfully logical. I hope the new episodes are on the OG Network as well!
They are, yes.

Jose Abreu made a hell of a play to get the 1st out to keep the No Hitter alive.

Inoki vs Schultz sounds all kinds of interesting. Have you seen it?
Short match; entertaining enough.

The final NJPW talent showing up in WWF was the December 1984 MSG show with the famous Cobra vs Black Tiger match, and Inoki vs Dr. D David Schultz.
For what it’s worth, Cobra stuck around through mid-1985 for tv tapings and a house show loop. He wrestles at MSG against Barry O in April, and then his last WWF match is in Dallas against Steamboat in May 1985.

Foley wrestled Davey Boy in a tag match (as part of the Bulldogs) in his WWF jobber debut in 1986, then defeated him/Owen for the tag titles with Austin in 1997.

Imagine five Villano-sized Mongos all trying to run the ropes at the same time.
I have to admit I’m more intrigued by the idea of the Mongo-sized final boss Villano - a Villano Gigante, if you will - coming down to ringside wearing a jacket that says OSOS on the front, his forearms and fingers all taped up, clubbering his opponent before throwing him out of the ring and delivering the jumping tombstone on the floor.

I'd be down with Mongo in a gauntlet match against various Villanos myself.
Would you rather:
- fight five Villano-sized Mongos, or
- fight one Mongo-sized Villano

A fine day!
- Stimulus money came in and went right back out, paying off a credit card.
- an hour later, the wife and I both received the first COVID vaccine round.

Experimental rules being tested in the minor leagues this season. To sum up:
- Triple-A gets larger bases (18-inches vs. 15-inches traditional)
- Double-A gets defensive positioning restrictions; the four infielders have to be on the dirt; they may also restrict two-to-each-side of second base but aren't yet
- High-A gets a "step off" rule; the pitcher has to come off the rubber prior to throwing to a base.
- Low-A gets a limit of two "step-offs" or "pickoffs" per plate appearance, if a pitcher tries a third time and fails to pick off a runner, it's a balk
- Low-A Southeast will also get some expanded use of Automatic Ball/Strike System
- Low-A West gets timers for between pitches, inning breaks and pitching changes, with additional regulations not noted beyond the ones already used elsewhere in the minor leagues.

I remember the AJPW sound effects match from the 90's.
Now I want a match with piped-in sound effects for submissions, like the ones in Fire Pro Wrestling where it’s a winching sound and the ref just asking “Give up? Give up? Give up?” on a loop.

That actually would be hilarious, if there was one old-school nut high up in the NBC decision-making chain that drives WWE crazy. "Why aren't Georgia Championship Wrestling Omni house shows on Peacock yet? Start with the annual tag tournaments, asap!"

Damn, I was really hoping he'd hang around long enough to get 700HRs
He'd need two seasons to reach it at his current skill level; not sure who'd offer a post-2021 one-year deal after 14 WAR over 9 seasons for $210 million thus far.

What was the airing date of the NWA Pro where Dick Murdock turned on Dusty and joined the Russians?

Yep, they have World Championship Wrestling episodes up from 11/2/85 (couple of weeks after the Dusty leg break) - 7/8/89 (after Flair regained the title). What's missing:
