I just loaded it up on the Network and clicked to a random point. Landed on Steiners vs. Headshrinkers, and at about 39:36, Samu just launches Scott headfirst over the ropes. How he didn’t die, I’ll have no idea.

Shocking that wasn’t it, they also don’t show a replay of the finish as Scott misses the frankensteiner 

Watched Wrestlemania IX yesterday to see if it was as bad as I remembered. Made me feel sorry for the debuting JR, trying to hold it together with Savage must have been difficult. Apart from repeated grunts of “lock and load” and “do the thing” perhaps Macho’s best contribution was “they’re hanging from the rafters, except it’s a coliseum so there are no rafters but coliseums had columns so they’re hanging from the columns”. At that point JR would have been well within his rights to snap back “what the fuck are you babbling on about?”

Just watching Fyter Fest on ITV4 from Friday night, there’s a large section of the Private Party match with no commentary, censored over here for some reason? Or did JR and the lads wander off for a pie and a Bovril.

The Commandant and the Truth Commission, haven’t thought about them for years and then this morning I remember the Commandant cutting a promo on raw. Didn’t really work for them did it?

Ciampa has responded 

Anyone know what’s the contract status for Brock at WWE?

Any idea when this will become available on Vice in the UK?

June 8th, saw an advert on Vice last night 

I haven’t rewatched it in years so this may be faulty memory but at the USS Intrepid who can slam Yokozuna event; when the helicopter landed I’m sure the fans initially chanted “Hogan, Hogan” as they assumed it was Hulk, event host Todd Pettengill was having none of that and down the microphone attempted to get the crowd to chant “Lex, Lex”. Nobody wanted any part of that and he got the same treatment as when someone tries to start a chant at a sporting event but nobody buys it and they then get a chorus of “on your own”. Instead the crowd chanted “Luger, Luger” as his voice sadly trailed away.

Watched the newest episode of Untold about the Triple H / Mick Foley feud from 99/00 and thought it was really good.

I genuinely could not remember that bump Foley took through the top of the cage and through the ring.

Great show, speaking of the bump through the cell, Triple H speaks about Foley lighting the bat as being the perfect “distraction” before the backdrop.

Got me thinking, the panel concerned must have been “gimmicked”, isn’t that a bit of a risk, what if either of them had lost their bearings up there and stood on that panel?

Either that or whilst the camera was on Foley, Triple H took out a toolbox, a brew and some sandwiches and did some bolt snipping the crafty bugger.

Currently listening to a new Mick Foley interview on the Wade Keller podcast, how many bastard advert breaks does Wade put in his shows? Bloody hell.

I think Dave quite likes young Kenneth. 

All I can think of now is Mark in Peep Show calling the dildo he bought “Kenneth” to make it less intimidating 

Always makes me chuckle when I hear the segues into an advert on a podcast, new leader on the board from the latest JR podcast.

After a heartfelt JR piece about Terry Gordy being on borrowed time in the WWE as The Executioner before his untimely death, Conrad chirpily piped in with “do you feel like you’re on borrowed time with your mobile provider?”

Cancelled my subscription after everything I try to watch conks out after a minute and a half.

Followed the troubleshooting steps to no avail so I’m paying for something I can no longer watch.

In the bin.

For the Sunday morning show, bring back Raven as Johnny Polo to host it, edit out all chair shots, table spots and naughty words, chuck in a few comedy skits and the odd cartoon.

Bobs your uncle you’ve got Sunday Morning Slam.

Just listening to last months Austin podcast with Chavo. They swap Harley Race drink driving stories for a while and have a good chuckle then segue into... Austin reading a paid commercial to combat drink driving. Brilliant.

Having major issues trying to watch anything on the Network this evening, everytime I try to screen mirror the app from my iPhone to my tv it will play about two minutes and then come up with an error message.

Frustrating to say the least.

Tyler Bate take a bow 

Enjoyed the show but I couldn’t help but think half the time JR was thinking “this is a bit shit isn’t it?”

Remember one interview the LAW did with Dynamite and Benoit at the same time.

Dynamite said,”if I thought you were the shits I would tell you” as Benoit repeatedly said thank you

Moxley on Talk is Jericho is really good. He talks in-depth about his creative frustrations, citing specific examples and naming the people involved. Really illuminating stuff. 

Just listened myself, can hear the frustration in his voice particularly at his last year in the company, Vince does not come out of it well.

Essentially yes. I don't think they were keen on the barb wire either but the tits were the main issue IIRC. 

And yet on an earlier time slot there were knockers galore on Eurotrash with Antoine and Jean Paul, double standards

For anyone that attended, how was the event? Any major gripes?

Cracking event, Flair went out of his way to have a good chat with my starstruck son, Hacksaw was great, had a good chat with Christian in the afternoon he’s not sure whether the network show with Edge is coming back. Hall and Nash also high fived my son so all in all great. Well organised and friendly people.

Listening to a fairly recent episode of Talk is Jericho, guests are a mate of Jerichos and someone who had a minor role in classic film “The Warriors” as the episode is a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the films release. 

The gentleman who was in the film responds to nearly every question or comment by wetting himself laughing. It’s really made my afternoon listening to him laughing at everything for no reason.

If Brays new gimmick isn’t Roger De Courcey with the lizard as a 2019 style Nookie Bear then WWE are missing a trick 

When I was much younger I avidly watched Superstars of a weekend, one highlight was always vignettes for new wrestlers.

One series aired on Bob Backlund (who I had never heard of) and one vignette came back to mind yesterday.

Vince on voiceover “Bob is preparing to return to the WWF and step away from his construction business.”

Cut to Bob atop a ladder hammering something. Stood next to him an unidentified individual who piped up with, “Gee Bob, I really wish you weren’t leaving.”

Bob, “Well a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.”

Both lines were delivered with as much passion and fire as a dead slug, even as a kid I remember thinking ‘this berk is going to get battered”.
