July 7, 20205 yr comment_5922313 I recently had a dream where I decided to throw a party for Johnny Smith, but I wasn't very good at putting it together and felt bad about how lame the party was (fortunately, Johnny didn't mind. He had a beer and told us Steve Williams stories). I'm more than a little disappointed in my subconscious for going with something so obvious.
July 7, 20205 yr comment_5922316 When I was in my early twenties, I worked at a movie theater. One of the assistant managers, Juan, was kind of a tool, and he always seemed to have some minor and confusing problem with me. In this dream I had, there were people from corporate making a visit to the theater one day, and one of them happened to be Ric Flair. At this theater, there was this tiny window looking out from the upstairs office onto the floor, right over the concession stand and facing the entrance, I guess so that the manager could keep tabs on the floor and yell down to the floor staff if necessary. As I was sweeping up popcorn from the floor in front of concession, I could hear Flair, up in the office, ‘Woo!’-ing vigorously every so often. I was pretty excited, because, Ric Flair was at the theater (I didn’t even know he worked for Cinemark), but Juan was a serious jerkoff and passive-aggressively scolded me in front of all of them for some petty, nonexistent infraction, just to humiliate me. However, Ric pulled me aside as they were leaving, putting his hand on my shoulder and telling me “Don’t worry about him, you’re doing great. Just keep doing what you’re doing.” He walked out the door, strutted in front of the box office, and left. And I felt great. Edited July 8, 20205 yr by delacroix
July 7, 20205 yr comment_5922317 What you don't realize, @delacroix is that Ric knew that you were having trouble with your boss. He visited you in a dream to give you the encouragement you needed. The Nature Boy works in mysterious ways.
July 8, 20205 yr comment_5922353 With WWE purchasing Evolve, what do you think the chances we will start seeing Evolve matches/shows on the Network soon?

I'd imagine it depends on the expense involved with editing them to meet any Network/legal standards, but that's just a wild guess.

Yeah, at the very least you'd think they'd use them for "before they were superstars" things for Gargano, Riddle, Gulak, etc. Not sure how careful Evolve was with copyrighted music, which would effect how quickly they put full shows up there.

The other night, I dreamt that Kerry Von Erich and I put a Labrador retriever in a washing machine to clean it off. Soon after, I realized I'd made a horrible mistake because the dog would probably drown. Then Toshiaki Kawada showed up and they had a fight. I'd just like to say that this is hands down the funniest post I've read here at PWO and I want to put it in my signature.
July 9, 20205 yr comment_5922443 You have my blessing. Making it into someone's sig is the culmination of a lifelong dream.
July 9, 20205 yr comment_5922446 My favorite part of that dream is that if there was a real story about Kerry Von Erich putting a Labrador in a washing machine to clean it off, you wouldn't think twice about it, you'd just shake your head and be like "God Damn, those Von Erich's were a mess."
July 11, 20205 yr comment_5922562 I completely missed 2 days ago was the 20th anniversary of Bash at the Beach 2000. This important milestone is when Vince Russo forever changed wrestling history. I am surprised nobody created a thread for people to share their thoughts on this historic event and how its implications are still impacting pro wrestling to this day. Of course, as I am sure you all know, I am talking about when Vampiro and the KISS Demon invented "cinematic wrestling " during their "Graveyard" Match. Boneyard, anyone?

July 13, 20205 yr comment_5922722 I just saw Mucho, Mucho Amor, and Walter Mercado might be the best pro wrestler who never did pro wrestling. Basically the blueprint for all the Ric Flairs out there!
July 13, 20205 yr comment_5922723 Those of us who cut our PURORESU teeth on 90s AJPW tapes (and N64 video games) will likely get a little misty listening to all these classic themes.
July 13, 20205 yr comment_5922737 It still impresses me how VPW2 had such crystal clear quality for the entrance themes. Compared to WWF No Mercy and the likes, it felt like straight out of a CD!
July 13, 20205 yr comment_5922769 AKI were god damn wizards when it came to making wrestling games. two decades later and still no one has figured out how to make one better.

July 13, 20205 yr comment_5922778 There wasn't any technical limitation per se in terms of how high quality the audio could be on the N64 itself, it's just that being cartridge based had file size restrictions. A *lot* of developers just decided to do fix that by doing the maximum compression possible which made it sound like shit.
July 14, 20205 yr comment_5922810 How fucked up is it that Roman Reigns' symbol is basically Berserk's Brand of Sacrifice?
July 14, 20205 yr comment_5922832 prowrestlingtees has the classic Playboy Buddy Rose "I worked hard for this body" shirt in stock. Unfortunately its only in XXXL and smaller.... Do they not understand the comic appeal of the shirt to begin with?
July 14, 20205 yr comment_5922868 So we've been working at home since this mess started, and my company had the bright idea to send us all web cams so we can see everyone's faces in team meetings. I just prepared for this by ordering a Pentagon Jr. mask.
