This also will be the first World Series taking place in Washington D.C. since 1933.

They could tie in Madusa to the Kabuki Warriors by revealing that the green mist is actually old WCW cologne.

Atlanta hasn’t been beaten this badly since Sherman set it on fire.

Paul Lucas from Uni-Watch was one of the SI layoffs - he was only hired seven weeks ago, after being laid off from ESPN earlier in the year. I’m a big fan of his work...this sucks completely.

If you're talking just ten year stretches, the Yankees went 13 years between 1981 and 1995 (not counting the strike year)
Not to be even more pedantic, but it was 1996.

Know who should've tried to make a save? Chad Gable. Have him run out and get the upper hand on Brock for a bit before getting laid out. That's what a courageous underdog babyface would've done.
Gable running out, getting grabbed for a German suplex, and then doing a standing switch and launching Lesnar for a suplex would have gotten a huge reaction.

It looked like that they were MAYBE booked for a double-pin to build to Superclash but Madusa either (a) intentionally tried to double-cross Wendi or (b) got worried that Wendi was going to double cross her and she got cold feet.
Either way, just a helluva breakdown. I know the Network presentation is pieced together from the night of the taping and those matches aired across several episodes of AWA TV but I am genuinely curious if this made any of the final air tapes back then.
Not to mention the terrible sequences involving Magnificent Mimi, and the endless post-match mic shouting from Richter and Mimi - just brutal, awful stuff.

Jesus, the finishing stretch of the women's tag match on the AWA Road to Superclash III...if that happened in WCW or TNA instead of nearing-the-deathbed AWA it would be an all-time great botched finish.
Medusa looked somewhat frustrated during the match as well.

Also, by doing the monologue in the acting class scene, Kong is a wrestler who is acting as a wrestler who is acting.

All of that, along with a Cannell manager who distracts the opponent by flinging a piece of paper into the air, and then smashes him over the head with a typewriter.

The Twins have already set the MLB single-season team home run record. There’s an entire month of games left to play.

Was it just to really put a hot territory on the map and give it another boost?
I think that, and also that Harley was agreeable to doing a belt drop/regain during a tour - besides the two times with Baba (7 and 5 days), he did the same thing with Dusty in Florida in 1979 (5 days), so Rich's 4-day reign doesn't look that bizarre in context. And you get the two bonuses of both legitimizing the local hero as being able to actually win the title, and smaller-town house shows being potential sites for title changes.

Flair dropped a bit of a startling fact on his recent appearance on the SCSA podcast: the only touring champions left now are him and the Funks
Tommy Rich would qualify, except he didn’t hold the belt long enough to tour.

The White Sox had Bill Walton do color commentary for an entire game last night.

That is correct. More accurate would be that it was right before he was done with Crockett.
It's a really good cage match and people should check it out.
Yeah - I was just marveling over the time span (not being snide nor corrective); it’s got to be pretty rare, especially when Piper and Orton vanished fairly quickly in contrast.

It’s one week before Valentine started on the road with Vince, but *two months after* he started doing WWF TV tapings.

With The Rock's daughter at the PC, and creative giving people stupid names, if they don't call her Pebbles Miavia then they are missing out!

They’ll call her The Rockette and give her a front kick for a finisher.

Hell with it - just have Luger wheel out wearing his old shirt with it billowing around like a smock.

It’s tough being a rookie umpire. Maybe Boone bought him a beer later that evening, like in this old vintage Bud commercial:

I loved all of the odd matchups that occurred (Magnum TA wrestling Misawa! Ronnie Garvin gently exchanging with Giant Baba!), and greatly enjoyed Dusty waffling the referee with his boot, and the ref’s slow unconscious fall backwards.

I still think they cut Cena’s legs off in that Wrestlemania title match vs JBL - they had him come out to new music (resulting in a muted pop), and JBL controlled the majority of the match to little heat.

Some teams are already doing just that (raising/lowering the nets before the game), so it shouldn’t be an excuse.

How did Dusty get those shoulder scars? A barbed wire match?
According to the Ron Fuller podcast, after Dusty’s babyface turn in Florida he would bleed nearly every evening, and after awhile his forehead wouldn’t heal properly, so he switched to getting cut on the arm.

The specific experimental rules that MLB is having tested in the independent Atlantic League this season have been announced:
- Home plate umpire assisted in calling balls and strikes by a TrackMan radar tracking system.
- No mound visits permitted by players or coaches other than for pitching changes of medical issues.
- Pitchers must face a minimum of three batters, or reach the end of an inning before they exit the game, unless the pitcher becomes injured.
- Increase the size of 1st, 2nd and 3rd base from 15 inches square to 18 inches square.
- Require two infielders to be on each side of second base when a pitch is released (if not, the ball is dead and the umpire shall call a ball).
- Time between innings and pitching changes reduced from 2:05 to 1:45.
- Distance from pitching rubber to home plate extended 24 inches, in the second half of the season only; with no change to mound height or shape.
