Goldberg was a careless fool but Bret was not much better continuing to wrestle after such an injury. The understanding of just how badly concussions mess you up has increased dramatically since 1999. Wrestlers, football players, hockey players etc were just told “they got their bell rung” and that they’d be fine in a day and to tough it out. Bret goes into great detail in his book about how much he didn’t know about concussions despite being a wrestler for over 20 years. He also basically calls himself an idiot in retrospect for continuing to work in that condition.

“Well, everyone knows that Eric Draven returns to the grave to be at peace with Shelley after he gains vengeance on their killers. What our Crow movie presupposes is….maybe he doesn’t?”

It is because of COVID, but especially the first night at the PC. ESPECIALLY during Austin's 3/16 Beer Bash with Becky. Yeah, occasionally the silence worked out (getting to hear Asuka’s awed “Mother?” reaction to Becky’s pregnancy announcement, Charlotte and Rhea grunting and screaming like they were really battling to the death at Mania) but most of the time it just echoed the sad eerie feeling of the world at that point.

Just last week I was for some reason thinking “What happened to Adrian Adonis after Mania 3? He just sort of quickly vanished before his untimely passing the next year.”
Well apparently he did a quick run with Beefcake on some house shows because I saw a promo on YouTube and WOOF. You know how it’s a bad promo when you see Mean Gene trying not to laugh? That old boy gives up about 3 seconds into this disaster and just starts openly cracking up.

I can't believe that of all the A24 horror movies they've released over the past decade or so, "X" was the one that got a cinematic universe. It wasn't even that big of a hit, it only grossed about $15 million in the box office. They filmed X and Pearl back to back for like $2 million total and they made around $25 million combined at the box office. That’s a hit.

Give her another year or two in MariGold and she will arrive to eat your favourite wrestler to the chants of BOZILLA!

I was this close to taking my work papers and throwing them in the air I was so legitimately angry at gable I don’t know how this guy is so good at this but he’s done what he needs to do, I wanna see someone run him over with a tractor Triple H probably has the Shorty G outfit hanging by the entranceway so Gable can conjure up pure hate and spite in his soul before he hits the ring.

When AEW first started up, wasn’t it said that Tony had a pretty detailed plan of how the first 3 years would go? Like obviously lots would have changed as it was going along but he more or less stuck to that plan?
If so, he should probably take a couple weeks off at some point to write up another one. Put Bryan in charge for a couple weeks, see how he does with it.

Lou Thesz describing how a cauliflower ear is formed: interesting!
Lou Thesz letting the camera get loving close-ups of his own cauliflower ears: gross!

I think it’s one of the few times Randy Savage was recorded using his regular speaking voice. Granted, years of doing the Macho Man voice meant it was still pretty growly but it was slightly jarring just hearing him speak in a normal cadence.

I see a few mentions of good things happening in independent horror films. Could any suggest if there are similar studios doing good stuff for other genres? I'm usually not a fan of horror. A24, whilst they do a lot of horror as well, is generally a good source of things. Some recommendations: The Iron Claw (von Erich biopic)
Everything Everywhere All at Once Marcel the Shell with Shoes on
A24’s had some pretty good ones this year so far in Love Lies Bleeding, Problemista, Civil War and I Saw The Tv Glow (this one has a vague horror slant to it). Neon does a lot of horror as well but also had a great year last year with How To Blow Up a Pipeline, The Royal Hotel and Anatomy of a Fall. Just saw Babes from them, fun/sweet little comedy.

These bums don’t even deserve to be working the concession stands. They should be selling soft pretzels and bottled water out of a shopping cart in the parking lot. i do love soft pretzels. i love soft pretzels as much as i hate hard pretzels I was eating a soft pretzel from Wawa when i opened this thread. Thank you for providing the opening to get a good pretzel reference in here.

these dumb pieces of human trash shouldn't even show up to dynamite, they should start selling hot dogs in the arena and give me one for free These bums don’t even deserve to be working the concession stands.

During the brief period in 1995 after Taz ditched the Tasmaniac gimmick but before he turned heel, he called a match with Joey Styles where they kept his identity hidden. When the match was over, Styles introduced him first as Peter Senerchia.
