Falling in love with baseball as a kid in the '80s quickly led to a love for AM radio. That way, I could listen to other games when the Cardinals weren't on KMOX. Some teams were easier to follow than others, of course, but I think my personal record was picking up a Giants game once on KNBR from San Francisco.

I always loved the newspaper misspellings. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1987 gave us wrestling results from Brad Hart, Bingo Warrior, Cowboy Bob Gordon, and Rockin' Robin somehow became Rockin' Lilly.

Your description alone makes that my match of the year. I don't need a 5-star wrestling clinic when there's ill-advised, poorly-conceived insanity to behold.

Sting and Pillman vs. Hansen and Muta might have been quite the match, but in exchange we'd have had El Gigante and PN News vs. Ric Flair and Barry Windham in a steel cage for the main event. That'd be another one we could file under "interesting for all the wrong reasons."

What Trucker Hogan needs is a red and yellow Robin Hood hat, then claim he's the star of the traveling production of Robin Hulk: Brothers in Tights.

Bob Backlund was much flashier as a collegiate wrestler than as a pro.

Deezer D has died of a suspected heart attack at the age of 55. I have to admit, I remember him not just for co-starring in CB4, but also seeing his name in the ending credits of just about every ER rerun that TNT ran immediately preceding WCW Monday Nitro.

If Dusty Rhodes was a multi-year WWF champion and Hulk Hogan had jumped to the NWA:

Somewhere out there is an alternate universe where TL Hopper has been renowned for over two decades as the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, and Rocky Maivia was that one guy who came out to the ring with a plunger.

According to Cyndi Lauper's memoir, Captain Chameleon was actually David Wolff, which would explain how those songs made their way to the WWF.

He was the only person capable of uttering these five words: "Here is your winner, Meat!" with complete seriousness and sincerity.

The 1910s were the last decade that the Yankees didn't reach the World Series. It was also the last decade that no New York team won it all. Just in case anyone's rooting for history to be made, or broken, or whatever.

Some in the Crown Jewel image look thrilled to be there, others less so. Brock, on the other hand, seems genuinely mystified by the concept of having his photograph taken.
