Trevor Dame

ICYMI: Last night I wrote the second part of my HOF column, even longer than the first, with the only Sabu/Chess comparison you'll see this season. All free!

Most probably wish I did that for them, and much earlier in columns.

Chess/Sabu, a marriage made in heaven

Now I feel pressure, what if I'm wrong. WHAT IF I'M WRONG?

It's time for the second half of my Observer HOF column. Even bigger than the first, we run down EVERY modern US candidate remaining.

I'm writing part two and am only through three names and I'm at 3,300 words. There are 16 more. I should've just written a fucking book.

And I appreciate you!

Yeah, agreed. That's a great example of why a bad run in no way should take away from a lot of accomplishments.

I think that is an interesting theory, and I think wrestling fans might be more likely, if they do get selected, to want to "Help the business" in a way that a fan of Guy's Grocery Games wouldn't be.

ICYMI: Last night I wrote a giant column about wrestling. Takes! History! Facts! Numbers! Letters!

I fear you and prepared for this.

Inside I reveal:

- The two acts I'm likely adding to my ballot this year.
- The person I'm mad isn't already in.
- A CM Punk take designed to make every side angry with me.
- The person with the most interesting case that we know so little about.

Oh! And it's free!

My first of two columns on this years' Observer HOF. See who I voted for. 7,500+ just talking wrestling instead of worrying about it for once. www.patreon.com/posts/139983...

I hope everyone's ready for over 7,500 words about the Observer HOF. Editing it now. And it's only part one of TWO. Peak geek shit. No fretting, just talkin' shop.

Everything related to wrestling this week is ending up one to two thirds smaller than people hoped for. It's a phenomenon previously known as "Having sex with Trevor Dame."

Taylor Swift building her case for the Observer's Biggest Box Office Draw award:

Looking at the NXT and AEW numbers coming out with the new TV ratings methodology, we have finally confirmed what I long suspected: wrestling sucks and nobody likes it.

This feels like a good day to retweet this.

@MayorMGF Reminded me it's the 20 year anniversary for Joe vs. Kobashi. To this day still once of the craziest atmospheres I've ever seen. The rare dream match that lived up to the weeks of hype I listened to while waiting for the DVD.

Yes it was, good sir!

Saw a picture of Eric Stoltz from when he was shooting Back to the Future and he's basically Hook. He's 85% Hook.

This quote from Dave's (really good) obit on Bresloff kind of sums it up. There's a lot of "People say ___ did this, but Zane probably had a lot to do with it" in his story, it's hard to judge.

I've started to research the WO HOF and Zane Bresloff is a fascinating figure, but a tough one to gauge. Feels like he had fingerprints on the 80s and 90s booms, but was deep enough in the background that it's hard to know how much weight to give him. Not a lot written on him.

"In mid-2007, I ruptured my left eardrum during a wild, open-palmed exchange with KENTA in which one errant shot caught me in my left ear. I never got it fixed, and even now I don’t hear as well on my left side." - Bryan Danielson

The funny thing is WWE has totally Streisand Effected the ESPN review with all the leaked rumblings of them being miffed with it. If they ignored it, it's a one-day minor curiosity. Instead, people are still talking about it five days later.
