Bought those Janella tickets literally on a whim. Now I see that Matt Riddle will face PCO which should be fun. Then I decided to check out what GCW is and... it seems to be a death match promotion. LOL. Can't say I'm not excited, that will please the 13 year old in me who used to have a geo cities site and traded tapes.

I think I'm going to create an instagram blog of sorts for my pro wrestling adventures this summer and beyond if I stick with it. I've always been reluctant to go to shows since my brother moved out of state. I don't have many friends who like wrestling and the ones who do I dunno, just not my favorite friends and plus they only like WWE. My GF grew up watching wrestling with her brother and playing the videos games so I can get her to watch some big shows with me on the network. I'm going to Takeover Brooklyn with her, but I've bought GA tickets to MLW Battle Riot which has Low Ki vs John Morrison and a 40 Man Battle Riot featuring Pentagon Jr. (that's really all I care about although there are a lot of others announced). And I bought a single GA ticket to Joey Janella's Lost in New York. Lot's of shows going to Melrose Ballroom in Queens so I'm excited to be a part of something like that. Maybe that will become a new hot spot in the wrestling world. I have this idea I will make a friend or two at the shows but who knows. Every ROH show I went to back in the day was filled with trolls so I'm sure this will be the same.

I wonder if WWE is going to have AJ Styles surpass CM Punk's reign so that it's never brought up again.

Over a year as champ is quite the long time, though.... especially when you are actually on the show. They had to have Punk turn heel mid-reign so they could extend some more stories out of him. They would have to do the same with Styles in order to get him a reign that long.

I think that is doable, and kind of likley. AJ is better as a heel for sure, so when the time comes for Bryan to move back up... only one good option there.

Yikes. CM Punk's reign was 434 and AJ is only at 133. He could do it.

Just finishing July in my rewatch of all the WWF 1984 t.v. Cyndi Lauper is easily the best use of a celebrity in the history of the company.
Lol I defy you to find a better female promo than this. She was really good. Stuff like this is why 1984 is my favourite year. |

at the story of how Brooklyn Brawler managed to get a WWF Championship match in MSG. Pretty much happened due to Vince having a random brain fart and Ken Shamrock being injured at the worst time possible.

Pretty sweet find. Ever wonder where Bray Wyatt got his gimmick from? One Man Gang had a gimmick in 1984 Florida Championship Wrestling called "Panama Gang". During that time Dusty Rhodes and Mike Rotunda were both in Florida. Pretty crazy resemblance

Bray mentioned in the past that his gimmick was inspired by Waylon Mercy's gimmick. Wouldn't be surprised if Bray latter took some added inspiration from One Man Gang's gimmick considering Dusty was in charge of NXT and probably remembered that gimmick.

Jim Cornette Experience is on Vader plus a deep dive into OVW 2000. Just downloaded it. Sounds like an awesome episode.

Just noticed this: all the wrestlers in Jim Cornette's Camp Cornette stable in the WWF are now dead: Bulldog, Owen, Vader and Yokozuna. Plus Fuji.

Not to them. Roman Reigns is a three-time Universal Champion in their world. Just like Randy Orton is the youngest WWE Champion and Dolph Ziggler is a former two-time WWE Champion. You don't need to hold the other World Title to be a Grand Slam Champion in their eyes. The belts are literally interchangeable.

I would love to hear a Cornette deep dive into 1997 WWF. The Attitude era is not his favorite time period, but I'd actually like to hear more succinct stories about the storylines at the time, and more detailed accounts of Russo's actual ideas, as opposed to obtuse ranting about him.

Either Vince didn't actually think WWE's stocks would have shot up this much or was really desperate for money for XFL 2.0 since he cost himself over $140 million in selling his stocks way too soon.
