Dory Funk Jr was truly, truly great. One of the elite World Champions of all time. It is incredible how amazing Terry Funk had to be to not go down as "Dory's little brother." There will never really be wrestlers like either of them again.

Chris Jericho's brief time in ECW included a lot of TV footage where the purpose was that Jericho was a rising star of ECW and truly belonged there no matter how pretty he was or how much like a fucking dork stuck in 1989 he might have seemed

Watching Cubs-Yankees and occurs to me I can't remember last time I "hated the Yankees" just for being the Yankees. I get it if you're a fan of a traditional NYY rival but it's same as I eventually got to with the Cowboys. What's to be bothered by? They don't win anything. one pennant in 16 years.

Bill James once suggested that Lonnie Smith should be invited spring training to teach young players how to recover from errors, because he'd made so many that he'd become expert at minimizing the consequences. Bobby Walker should have had a wrestling school that specialized in that sort of thing.

Thought the Not New Day video was very heartfelt and cool. The exact sort of thing you'd expect from them (complimentary). And at least it wasn't Actual Prison.
