Finished the Six Pack. Good book. It was written more for a casual or non-fan (understandably) but I still learned a lot about Vince’s national expansion, and the human interest aspect is often fascinating.

No bueno

Thankfully he’s just referring to Bob Orton holding David Flair during a promo before turning on Flair

Hey Ric why are you so angry OH NO

Holy shit

Watching Dynamite and when the Puppet came on the screen my son (playing Skate on his PC) looked over and asked me “what is wrestling…how does it come to this?”

Hey man anytime you can bring back a malcontent who won’t move business ya gotta go for it

Minoru Suzuki offers his thoughts on the trend of puppets in wrestling

You might want to learn to spell your dad’s name correctly

Not enough huge nets being dropped on wrestlers these days if you ask me

Great production from FIP (or this is a Night Blindness match)

WWE Vault uploaded a file of FIP and Evolve matches. There’s a Jaka vs Jeff Cobb match, which is nice. There’s also Tyler Black vs Jay Briscoe (!) and Walter vs Nick Gage (!!!)

Gary Spivey of the Psychic Companions Network pays Paul Orndorff a visit to boost his confidence. I had no idea who Spivey was in 1995 (I thought he was related to Dan). Even now this plays as a Tim & Eric sketch

Jesse Ventura has some heated words for a hated rival

Tito’s reputation has grown in recent years but probably not enough. Go listen to this and you’ll find a bunch of great matches to watch this weekend

Mr. Perfect just landing right on his dome after a leg kick from Tito Santana

Shawn Michaels overshoots Mr. Perfect on a dive and looks to catch a face full of guardrail

If CMLL offers a Pokémon replica title they’ll sell so many they’ll be able to buy WWE and AEW

Pure distillation of dumb jock energy, throwing yourself wildly at your opponent and landing on your head

Kanyon’s grunt being picked up on the mic when he gets speared adds so much

Evolve is having a special on Tubi on 10/15. Doesn’t appear to be live, might just be a longer than normal episode or maybe just a branded episode. I would have gone with Evolve: Curb Your Enthusiasm myself

MVP watching Darby backstage and having PTSD flashbacks

Remembering when everyone wanted trios titles and AEW introduced the All-Atlantic title instead. In that spirit I was hoping AEW would introduce the Woman’s Pangea Championship instead of the tag titles.

With profound effort, Scott Hall gives Jim Neidhart the Outsider Edge

Seemed like a ticky tacky DQ to be honest

Can’t believe this left off:

-Author of Ladyballs
-Appearance in Scooby Doo & WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon
-Finalist on the Weakest Link
-invented women’s wrestling

Mr. Fuji apparently hit an exposed live wire when he hit the mat

Watching the Air Guitar championships on the Ocho and a competitor named Mom Jeans made an entrance through the crowd and the commentator compared her to Jon Moxley. I thought you should know this.

Wrestlepalooza is such a weird name for a 2025 show. ECW ran a couple of them in the 90’s, only one of which was a PPV (and that one was shitty). Maybe Triple H still has fond memories of Tommy Dreamer finally beating Raven at Wrestlepalooza ‘97
