NJPW G1 Climax 35 update:

EVIL won the A Block with his win over Hiroshi Tanahashi today. EVIL, David Finlay & Yota Tsuji advanced from the A Block. The B Block final will be Wednesday.

Is it time for NJPW to look for a new booker?

I'm not a fan of this SteelBook cover art. The movie poster was iconic. Should've just been that. Also, this is being distributed by Disney. So, it's probably going to end up being limited, and totally overpriced like the Tombstone SteelBook release they put out earlier this year.

Now you can also own the Carlos Cuck Hat.

If Sami Callihan is indeed hanging them up Friday in Baltimore, I'd give him the book. TNA desperately need a change in booker

This week's double feature:

Problem Child (1990) and The Phoenician Scheme (2025)

WWE wins again, because of course they do. 😑

You'll be shocked to know Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Konosuke Takeshita was one of the best matches of the tournament.

With the NJPW G1 Climax 35 on an off day, I'm using this time to catch up on the last 4 shows in the previous 5 days.

There's also the rumor that they could be trying to secure a Wednesday night time slot for TNA to run head-to-head against AEW Dynamite. Which wouldn't be surprising as TNA is just being used a prop in WWE's culture war with AEW.

Would be the same deal if they went to A&E, as WWE LFG is already on there.

In fact TNA iMPACT! could be a lead-in for WWE LFG.

The WWE "allowing" TNA to get on the same network (The CW) as NXT is an easy counter for monopoly practice complaints. Especially after the MLW lawsuit over WWE blocking a deal for MLW Fusion on Tubi. Also, when NWA got bumped off The CW app when NXT moved to the channel.

This week's double feature:

Weird Science (1985) and The Score (2001)

Fuck yeah, Tony ponying up the cash for Dustin's WCW theme.

I'm not surprised that Vince McMahon drives like an asshole.

Given the short run time and the fact that we know John Malkovich as Red Ghost was cut from the film, there's got to be more left on the cutting room floor. I saw the movie in IMAX, and that's probably the best way to experience the true Galactus' big screen debut, no stupid cloud here.

Thoughts on The Fantastic Four: First Steps

They were clearly inspired by the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby FF comics of the '60s as this feels like a love letter to that era of Marvel Comics. The film was only 1 hour and 45 minutes without credits.

This week's double feature:

No Holds Barred (1989) and Happy Gilmore 2 (2025)

There's an entire thread on Twitter of Hulk Hogan's blatant lies over the years and it's great. His lies are legendary, here's some highlights.

I want to know why Jon Moxley is wearing a long sleeve shirt in July in Chicago. It was 93 degrees today here.

YouTube video by Ozzy Osbourne OZZY OSBOURNE - Scenes from 'Trick Or Treat'

Love Ozzy playing against type here as an evangelist.

Caught up on the G1, and how about this Taichi? Brother wasn't even supposed to be here and our Holy Emperor is putting in Yeomans Work.

The day I thought would never come has come.

R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne, the godfather of Heavy Metal.

Got the first 2 nights of NJPW G1 Climax 35 and 2 Pro Wrestling NOAH shows to watch from this weekend.

This week's double feature:

Barry Lyndon (1975) and Clueless (1995)

Some guy with the nickname Big Dumper won the Home Run Derby.

Just got back from Superman, and it was very good. I disliked Man of Steel and the DC Extended Universe as well. This gave me hope for the new DC Universe.

Outrunners tights got them looking like a pack of Newports.
