Riptide has released a statement about David Starr (and a FAN user...) Riptide come across as the best. Definitely going to make a trip down to Brighton when possible. That FAN member (Steveweiser) was banned yesterday when this was brought to our attention.

- I attended this show with my younger brother. I remember NOTHING about it. This was the third year in a row I went to a WWF show at the Oil Palace and the first two, I have memories of. This one, nothing. The ONLY thing I do remember is Blackman coming into the convenience store I was working at earlier in the day before the show started.
- This Mr. Wrestling was just regular Memphis worker Carl Fergie under a mask
- Jackie is Jacquelyn Moore
- Master B is Reggie B Fine
- Assassin 2 here is someone who also went by the name Mondo; beyond that, I got nothin'
- Did OVW and IWA Mid-South hold shows in the same town/date a lot?

Since I'm not that up on the Twitter, what exactly is a "promoted" Tweet? Paid ad, basically. He paid to have it show up as an ad.

- I had no idea Harley was doing WWF shows at this point.
- Eddie Boulder = Brutus Beefcake, getting a gig because, well, you see who else is on the card
Salvatore Martino = Salvatore Bellamo
Sweet William and Nick Carter = Luke and Butch (the Bushwackers/Sheepherders)
- Jim Dillon = JJ Dillon
- This Sweet Brown Sugar was Skip Young
- Kazuo Sakurada = Kendo Nagasaki/Dragon Master
- Sweet Ebony Diamond = Rocky Johnson
- This Masked Superstar is, of course, Demolition Ax
- This Masked Superstar is definitely NOT Demolition Ax. No clue who was under the hood here.
- Paul Ellering prior to his in-ring retirement, likely doing his Superstar Graham ripoff gimmick
- That 6-man is one of those random assortment of names that never look quite right all together
- Mr. Florida = Paul Jones, under a mask, I assume
- Super Destroyer = Scott Irwin
- Carlos Peron = Chicky Starr
- This French Angel was Frank Morrell, not the original Angel.
- Tony Atlas in a boxing match. Okay.
- The Assassins here were Jody Hamilton and Randy Culley, aka original Demolition Smash/Deadeye Dick/Moondog Rex and a billion other gimmicks

Yea, they did it last year to tape a few shows Thus far that has been safe and I think profitable to Jericho so credit to him. Me personally, nah I can't be stuck on cruiseship with a bunch of drunk wrestling fans and drunk Jericho wandering around but in fairness based upon pics posted this year it looks like a great time Oh so it's not a thing being done this year then? Supposedly, there's talk of one being done, but I don't believe any details have come out and it's been a month or two since I even heard that mentioned.

Different story but WWF always held cards Christmas day every year till the end of the 80's maby early 90s. Oh, tons of territories ran shows on Thanksgiving eve, Thanksgiving and Christmas day back then (World Class had some of its biggest gates on some of those days), but it was really, really uncommon to have a show run by any promotion on Christmas Eve

The philosophy class ends now. Back on the actual topic. If you continue the "moral" debate of viewers/workers going past this post, I'll suspend you.

Here might be the answer; I'm being totally serious here. Someone needs to step in and stop these tapings. This isn't right. They haven't been testing, they're indoors, people aren't social distancing, they aren't ALLOWED to wear masks. This is a legitimately unsafe working environment. Who? The guy in charge is the only person in charge.

PWInsider are reporting that they're going to resume taping on Wednesday, so it's going to be super busy with next week's RAW, next week's SmackDown and two episodes of NXT all being taped. So, y'know, even MORE people in the building all at once. Nice.

TV shows like American Ninja Warrior and Titan Games. Would any discussion on them be Off Topic or Sports? Actually, come to think, why AREN’T there more discussion on these shows? I think for now, they're best off in Off Topic. They aren't organized sports, per se, just competitions, so don't really fall into that section's guidelines, nor are they quite "combat sports" enough to fall in the Wrest section either.
