Today on 10th February 1997 - Hall and Nash decide to send a message finish the match with The Giant and Lex Luger's finishers, but Nash realises mid-move that he doesn't know how to do Lex's Rack, so he just jiggles the guy around on his shoulders for a bit
On this day on 17th March 1997: The first person is thrown off the Raw Is War stage and it is Mini Vader - quickly followed by the first person diving off the stage (Mascarita Sagrada)
I can’t remember this. Do you remember anything else about it?
On this day on the 18th August 1990: Jesse Ventura's final bit of commentary before leaving the WWF over a video game squabble is a sarcastic Tugboat honk
I'm back on from about 2pm this afternoon. First up it's Masterteam with Angela Rippon. Followed by Clegg's People & a visit to Whitby, to look at the history and origins of #Dracula. We'll finish with Families at War with #VicAndBob twitch.tv/alidoolalli #Twitch #retro #TV
4) I really liked this sign
-End of things I enjoyed-
3) I think this is the laziest suplex I've ever seen
2) Hercules really looks like Lee Mack here
Wrestlemania 4 isn't great, but there are probably a few things to enjoy if you really make an effort.
-Start of things I enjoyed-
1) This corner counter was pretty good
Coming up this week twitch.tv/alidoolalli
Catch it this afternoon, or afterwards on BBC Sounds! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
The match isn't particularly good, but there is a bit where Heenan describes Uncle Elmer as looking like "the Hindenburg in denim"
There is too much discourse online these days and not enough reminiscing about when the WWF billed a match as "The Battle Of The Big Boys"
I will be streaming at 2pm. More from the World Cup of TV crime fighters. Today's match is Bugs vs The Persuaders #Retro #Twitch #TV #Bugs #ThePersuaders #RogerMoore #TonyCurtis
DRAMA Drama: Safe Space Thursday 2.15pm Radio 4 Writer Caitlin Magnall-Kearns describes herself as a "queer, disabled, fat writer from East Belfast and I've been housebound with agoraphobia for over three years". She's leant into her experiences with a drama about Paula (Thaddea Graham, pictured below), whose panic disorder and agoraphobia are challenged by an attraction to a female delivery driver. Will she be able to leave her house and go on a date? It's a warm-hearted tale told with wit. ANNA JONES
2.15 Drama: Safe Space Comedy drama by Caitlin Magnall-Kearns. RT Agoraphobia and panic disorder have left Paula housebound, but she's trying to make the best of it - despite a younger brother who would test the patience of a saint and a father who is smothering her with concern and cups of tea. She's content merely hitting the "snooze button" on her life - until she meets cool and fearless Niamh. Suddenly Paula is dreaming of big things, perhaps impossible things. Now she wants it all: love, laughs and adventures. But can she venture back into the world? See page 111. Paula Thaddea Graham Liam Matty Loane Niamh Vanessa Ifediora Ellen Kate Perry Dad Jonjo O'Neill Andy Sean Kearns Producer Anna Hinds; Director Celia de Wolff
Absolutely buzzing that my Radio drama Safe Space is a Pick of the Week in Radio Times!
It’s on next Thursday 23rd Jan at 2.15, and then on BBC Sounds ✨
My favourite thing in this match though is this bit of commentary where Gorilla has had it with the ref and compels him to "do something, even if it's wrong" - a mantra that I now choose to live by
If you think this doesn't count because its a double team move then this is the earliest solo powerbomb I've seen in the WWF (Judy Martin, 22/6/1985)
I like how Gorilla calls it an "inverted backbreaker" and Gene just has no idea what he's looking at
I've accidently become a wrestling historian
I think this is the earliest I've seen someone do a powerbomb in the WWF - this is Judy Grable on 8th March 1983
The end screen of The Oregon Trail computer game, showing that the party has arrived in the year 16,848 AD, or 15,000 years after departing Missouri
I'm thrilled to announce that it is finally done: I can safely say that I am the first person in history to survive 15,000 years in The Oregon Trail, AND, with the incredible technical assistance of @moralrecordings.bsky.social , the first to successfully arrive in Oregon after doing so.
