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.
just saw a clip of Cass' DOA return to Titan, trending toward 2027
I also do not think he will do anything more in WWE than he did in AEW. He will do roughly the same, I would guess. And if I were putting a bet down he's probably a 2028 roster cut, with an outside chance at 2027, just because of how WWE operates now.
lol yeah. order your's and stick it to your enemy ECW just told you exists
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.
The first-ever Sega Saturn Slam of the Week. More observant viewers will note that there is no "Slam" involved. (May 27, 1996 on Raw)
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.
Page really got me here, because he doesn't overdo the reaction, especially at the very end.
Wait until you see this 20-minute talking main event.

what is going on with this lady from In Your House: Beware of Dog? she’s existing in her brain’s David Lynch movie while Jerry Lawler screams wack jokes about Ted Danson in her face
forever on a search to be something he isn't, for what he does to be something it can't be. behind his security blanket phrases ("what we do," "our business," etc) there exists a man who is too smart to actually believe most of what he says, and knows his job as it works now is a creative dead end
