If Verne did this for Kellogg’s, can you imagine what he would do for Saudi money?

I wonder if that was someone else authorized to promote for him. Looking at Bundy's feed he missed a signing in late January due to illness and he has not posted much of anything beyond that ComicCon in the last month. I get the feeling this isn't as sudden as it seems.

Does Pat Patterson count?

Morales had three separate runs with WWE. In the '60s he wrestled a ton as an undercard face, usually as Miguel Perez's tag team partner. Titles aside, he was one of the longest tenured wrestlers the company ever had.

I didn’t get to watch it yet, but Netflix produced a Mexico themed series of Nailed It and one of the episodes guest stars Psycho Clown.

Ernie Ladd is tremendous and one person I wish I knew more about when he was still with us.

I guess the silver lining is that we’ve never seen Rollins sell this long.

I think in large part because they were still selling house shows. Syndicated shows worked as an infomercial for a live event.

I use wrestlingdata.com https://www.wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=konst&letter1=S&wrestler1=119&letter2=W&wrestler2=415&letter3=&wrestler3=0&letter4=&wrestler4=0&matchtyp=0&anzeige=matches

Highest recommendation for that book.

Steve Austin hawking Cougar Life was always the pinnacle to me.

It's cliché but I hope he's found peace. He seemed like a genuinely unhappy person.

If Luke Harper isn’t born to be in a beef jerky commercial then I don’t know who is.

And it's "youth?"

Something that's been bugging me for a bit. A couple years ago I listened to a Stan Hansen interview/podcast where he explained what he yelled when he threw up the horns. I can't remember what It was and I can't find the interview.

I like it. Nia fucked up. She can make an apology which will not get received kindly, or she can double down. If she survives the initial heat she'll get a match and a payday with Becky out of it.

Really interesting. The article notes previous visits of wrestling troupes from Japan that would’ve been the 1920s. I’ve gotten the impression that American culture was quite big in Japan in that era before the War wiped out everything.

Abby looked like he was legitimately bludgeoning a guy. Tiger would go into the ring with a sword and beat the guy with the blunt end of it. As the Insane Clown Posse said on Stranglemania, "he doesn't even know how to work the damn thing."

Are there good lucha historians who post their research online or are active posters/bloggers?

There's no way to be intellectually consistent about it. If I reviewed every company under the same standards Ragemaster lists, I wouldn't be able to enjoy any entertainment product or frankly any corporate business ever again. Life is brutal and complicated. But this is an easy way I can register my distaste. I'll be back. I don't begrudge anyone who doesn't cancel. But I shouldn't be begrudged for my decision either.

I canceled. I’m not going to say it’s a boycott. I’ll probably go back at some point. But given the sheer amount of content available via television and other streaming services, I have more options than time in the day. So given an opportunity to cut something and save a little money, I feel comfortable doing that right now.

How many World of Sport wrestlers would be ideal? Or British wrestlers overall?

Now that Tegan has revealed the extent of the injury, how in the hell did she get up and stumble around on that?!

I’m surprised they haven’t booked Val Venis and Kaientai yet.

WWE may not have good options at this point. They made their bad decisions months ago, and they may not have the ability to break their contract at this point. But that doesn't mean that they shouldn't get shit about it when it blows up in their faces.
