Reads like you're pitching copy for Vince McMahon's tombstone.

HE’S COMING

That’s a helluva contact high!

Half of Warren Zevon songs:

“All the wood is piled up/
And the lumber is counted and my heart is stuck/
In the place where I grew up/
Where I went to school and where I learned to fuck/
And my memories of days so sunny/
Were all sold away for a tourist with money/
This shopping mall is not my home”

Guy who has irrational nostalgia for drinking out of a garden hose: Let’s vote for nazis!

“This city broke my heart/
So we could have another Wal-Mart”

-“Shopping Mall” by my friend Dana Is Gone

For me, I’d have WM IX higher than Miz/Cena, there’s at least a portion of Bret v Yoko that I like before Yoko goes to the finish too soon and everything after that is garbage. I don’t remember any part of Miz/Cena being any good, even before he got concussed.

There’s a ton of old free wrestling on Dailymotion and Tubi, I say spend the week with Terry Funk in Japan lol

It’s best not to question the bureaucracy, but you can get a bisexuality exemption with a minimum of effort/paperwork.

Quote post with something good that lasted longer than the Confederacy (1861-1865).

Bruno Sammartino’s first world championship (1963-1971)

For the record that was a Picasso's Blue Period etc reference, not a menstrual joke lol

Screenshot from TEW 2016: a news item on Murder Inc. defeating Team Murder for the WWE World Tag titles. Team Murder only had one successful defense.

Since we were talking about it I got playing a bit and CPU Stephanie McMahon is in her 'murder' period.

I looked into it and one team is FTR Gun and Jesse Sorensen and the other is Andrade and Shiima Xion lol I don't know Xion or Jesse well but feels like they're spreading the 'murder' guys thin.

Tim Meadows: Don’t you know Nick Wayne need to remember his entire life before a Continental Championship Eliminator?

A fella named Tony thinks Thekla is the best promo in all of wrestling while Kunt Vonnegut thinks calling people ”bitches” is lame. In the middle is Tapemachines, who shares my opinion that Thekla rocks but I can see that she might be to everyone’s taste.

The duality of man (and also @tapemachines.bsky.social)

Been a few stretches where I haven’t played it for a few months even a year at one point but I always drift back.

Okada had his career in Japan torpedoed from a scandal involving prostitutes like a year in, I’ve been building him back up for years in NA, I’m a month away from making him world champ

I know you asked him not me, but I spend most of my Fire Pro time doing tournaments and leagues so it’s usually like a 1/8 ratio of play to sim.

Don’t really do Fire Promoter. I’ve been playing the same file in TEW for about ten years now so that’s where most of that kind of energy goes.

The Royal Rumble 95 finish hit extra hard in scramble vision lol

“From the pages of the World Wrestling Federation Magazine, here’s UPDATE” Mean Gene hyping up the Royal Rumble

It’s funny to think about the erosion of kayfabe in my head as a kid. I remember thinking I was getting real news of the wrestling world from Mean Gene on tv once a week. Apter mags were a revelation, the Observer would have blown my mind lol

I swore off watching them shortly after Danielson retired. If they didn’t get me back when he started again, there’s just nothing they can do.

I remember feeling the way that guy describes - I was so shocked when I finally found out Yokozuna won the casket match with Undertaker a few days later. But like you said that’s not pre-social media, it’s pre-internet/living somewhere that didn’t air Raw/too young to know what the WO is/etc

Looks like the bad guy from Scott Pilgrim vs The World trying to be inconspicuous.

A dude has posted his collection of concert bootlegs online and there's some real damn bangers on here. Just downloaded a bunch of Neko Case, The Sadies, Mission of Burma, Rilo Kiley, etc. archive.org/details/aada...

Agreed

Austin, I wouldn't consider anything that happened under Cena or Punk a 'major boom period.'
