Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4
My grandfather LOVED Jerry Blackwell after he turned face in the AWA, which meant six year old me got to go on a weeknight to watch the wrestling with him.

Is Impact* the best wrestling promotion in history? *(Now TNA again, 2024)
Telling me I don't have to listen to Matt Striker call the main event gets me interested, and that interest is instantly killed off when they tell me that Mauro is the one replacing him.

He missed four months in 1997, but he was working WCW shows the entire way through.

The Cancellation of Jim Cornette
Jim swore off of Wendy's today because the owner is a massive Trump supporter. And you all said he wasn't capable of changing.

Service charges like that are total bullshit. There is a Monday Night Raw episode coming to Winnipeg in February. I can get upper deck tickets for as low as $29.25 right now. There are 44 floor seats, opposite the hard cam that cost $648.50 plus a $97.70 service fee, which is completely ridiculous.

Kenny Omega: "If [NXT] guys were in the same show as me, they'd be in the dark match. They'd be in the opening match of my main event match."
I don't think he is the clear babyface with Moxley, and that's what he should be using as his reason for a heel turn.

The Shane Taylor stuff sounds like a work.

Dave Meltzer stuff
Well Buddy Rose is dead, which would seemingly make him hard to cancel.

The show doesn't air late night in all the markets. I used to get Fox Rochester, and it would air in the middle of the afternoon on weekends.

I agree with this. As much fun as a #1 contenders match is, it means someone who is supposedly worthy of a title shot eats a loss. Give title matches to guys on winning streaks, and people will pay attention to who is winning. The only complaint I have about the news release was them talking about how this is like strength of schedule format in college football. None of the opponents Cody has faced have won a singles match, so his strengh of schedule is comparable to beating two MAC teams and a FCS school to start your Big 10 season. Small complaint for sure, but something they can work on in the future.

Current Lucha Talk
The four guys who aren't the shits in that match could make it interesting. Big Daddy Yum Yum getting booked again out of the blue is bizarre. Cibernetico was never a workrate guy, but he was an over mother fucker during his peak in AAA. He's not nearly that guy anymore, which explains why him vs UG in a singles match is not the main event of the Anniversary Show.

Or it means that FS1 has college basketball scheduled every Wednesday night from November to March, and that NXT to FS1 on a Wedneday night was never actually a feasible plan.

Why would Cody give a payday to a woman his father was allegedly trying to cheat on his mother with?

Anytime someone questions the ability of Mike Mizanin, just remind them how over he got Sandow as his stunt double. Absolute miracle worker.

They put him back on the show after people online complained.

Dashwood should have won the title tournament, but she also has not had a match in approximately nine months. Not entirely their fault.

WWE TV 06/10 - 06/16 Operation Car Wash is a fraud and Lula is a political prisoner
The graphic Fox uses for Smackdown moving to Fox has Roman, Becky, Charlotte and Cena on it. He can't be that far in their bad graces.

It's a stupid comment that makes little sense. He's a politican backed by a trust fund kid? Someone who doesn't care about balancing a budget?

.He gave the battle royal three stars. It's like the "Plus one star for happening in Japan" rule has moved over to AEW.

83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff
If I was going to give anyone Patreon money, it would either be Between the Sheets, or Easy E. The extra content he does sounds worth shelling out the money for. I liked Eric's part of the Souled Out 97 show. Conrad was terrible, but Eric had no issues taking blame for things he should take blame for.

Megumi Kido never made the ballot? That really surprises me.
