I call your delayed powerslam and raise you a powerslam on the floor
This one is amazing, in that he controls it so that the brunt of the impact is on his own left arm and the opponent’s feet.

Tigers/Pirates opener is also postponed until tomorrow.

It’s one of those mindbenders, like “if you stand at the South Pole, every direction you face or walk is North.”

Not changing the result, but I would've preferred Savage pinning Flair clean with the elbow at Mania 8, instead of the inexplicable punch-and-handful-of-trunks finish.
Yeah, but that was how Flair lost title matches back then - never with a finisher, always an inside cradle or a backslide or a sunset flip. It kept him stronger that way; I guess him dropping the belt to Bret via sharpshooter was meant to be a signifier that he was done at the top in the WWF.

When watching the footage, it seems possible that Paul Heyman didn’t know that Brock was winning.

Her and Asuka need to tag against someone, as per WWE rule
I wonder if their "rivals-thrown-together" team will miscommunicate, causing them to lose the tag match, and add to the tension leading up to Wrestlemania?!?!?!?!?

They wrestled at a 1991 King of the Ring house show. The footage is out there, but trust me, whatever is in your head is way better than what they actually did.
Ah, forgot about the 1991 return run for Steamboat. Unless that match has Dibiase try to stuff a dollar in Steamboat's mouth, only for Steamboat to blow fire into Dibiase's face, then no thanks.

I’m also just now realizing that Steamboat and Dibiase didn’t work together in the WWF, which is a damn shame.

There were a few times where they would throw Jericho and Flair together for no particular reason without a program and they had fun matches.
Is their Thunder match the one where Flair asks the ref to check the elapsed time with the timekeeper, then immediately kicks Jericho in the groin?
-
Thinking about how they’d structure that trip - probably something like:
- both teams play Wednesday day games, fly to London immediately after
- Thursday off
- Friday and Saturday day games in London (same as 7pm games on East Coast), fly back immediately after
- Sunday night game?

Plus there is roughly zero chance the Cubs will let anyone except baseball players, crew, and umpires on their field mid-season.
Ehhh - they have summer concerts at Wrigley when the Cubs are on the road (the usual Pearl Jam/Foo Fighters/Zac Brown Band/etc.) Not many nights in total, but a non-baseball event isn't impossible.

Maybe the best idea would be for WWE to just begin referring to it as "the Women's Battle Royal" sans anyone's name, and quietly just not mention Moolah again. Change the trophy to a generic one and pretend like it was always that way.

Moustakas re-signing with the Royals for one year and a piddling amount. Man, did he regret his foray into free agency.

I should have worked an Allentown tapings reference in, too.

Huh, the headline for the Raw thread references Billy Joel, then Billy Joel gets mentioned on Smackdown. Synchronicity!
Maybe next week a tag-team will debut called The Nylon Curtain-Jerkers?
I'll show myself out.

There’s a match of his on YouTube against Andre in ‘89 from the Nassau Colliseum that’s interesting - Andre sells a lot and then there’s a DQ finish to set up a tag match with Duggan and Haku.
-
Until I imagined it, Monsoon giant-swinging New Jack through a turnbuckle-leaning table was something I didn’t know I wanted to see so badly.
Also, New Jack back-bodydropping Ric Flair directly into a grocery cart filled with plunder, then using a staplegun on Flair’s forehead as Flair screams “OH GOD!”
-
They should start a yearly gimmick where a wrestler can't find a Wrestlemania opponent, and the heel authority figure threatens to put them in a pre-show match against Sheamus unless they can [series of obstacles/stipulations go here]. Do that for 2 or 3 years until Sheamus retires.

That only makes Mike Sharpe look like an ass for failing to ever win anything with his loaded forearm sleeve.
Dammit, now I want to see Alexa clobbering opponents with a loaded forearm sleeve while doing the Iron Mike Sharpe vocalizations.

Or just have the champion not factor into the finish of a triple-threat match. Lose the belt, never get beaten.

I don't think she'll be hurt by a failed cash-in; she's a middle-of-the-pack person with or without the briefcase, and I don't mean that in a disparaging way.
Anyway, two ideas:
- Asuka beats Charlotte; Carmella appears post-match and ka-bongs her with the briefcase, and then gives it to Charlotte. Charlotte immediately cashes it in, turns heel and Carmella is her manager/lackey as she crows about ending an unconscious Asuka's streak.
- Carmella holds onto the briefcase too long because she doesn't keep track of the expiration date for cashing it in; she runs in on day 366 and ka-bongs one of the champs with the briefcase, only to be told that it's expired.
