    So Miro was supposed to be the last person eliminated in the Rampage Rumble and refused to be apart of it unless he won, so he was sent home. LMFAO.

    Also, AEW Saturday Night is going to premiere either the night before Forbidden Door OR right around then. The Regina Rampage date was moved back a week to Saturday Night.

    They will use AEW SN as a pre-show for Full Gear as it is now the only Saturday PPV on the books. Have been told it will have pre-emptions and most likely will not air at all in some weeks due to this which is fine, because why the fuck do they need six fucking shows (Dynamite, Rampage, Collision-Saturday Night, Dark, Elevation, ROH) a week?

    Yea, the Vikingo-Omega match was special. Can't believe they gave that away on free TV.

    For some of you, my fourth installment of underrated awesome matches will be your introduction to Japanese wrestling. Here is a great example of how amazing tag team wrestling was in Japan in the late 80s/early 90s, with a pair of large American stars:

    Stan Hansen & Terry Gordy vs. Genichiro Tenryu & Toshiaki Kawada
    All Japan Pro Wrestling
    Budokan Hall, Tokyo Japan
    12/16/1988

    Revolution got 2 matches at 5 Stars (almost 3), and had 5 of 8 get 4 stars or better. If you enjoy pro wrasslin, you should find a way to check out this show.

    I watched Revolution, it was a great show. MJF-Danielson had one of the best Iron Man matches of all time. Trios title was great, Hangman-Mox was great, and everything else on the card (save maybe Wardlow-Joe) was really damn good. Find a way to watch that show. Mania has no chance at topping it.

    Being reported that WWE higher ups are concerned about Sami's popularity overshadowing Cody...Yea, no shit morons. Thats what happens when a guy gets over organically and instead of going with it you try to kill it because it wasn't your idea.

    It was right after Jericho's debut and I was a HUGE Rock fan, so the hype was big for 13-year-old me

    Augusta Civic Center - Sept. 25, 1999

    IC champ Jeff Jarrett > The Godfather
    Hardcore champ Al Snow > Hardcore Holly
    Women's champ Ivory > Jackie
    Mark Henry > D-Lo Brown
    Crash Holly > Chaz (this must've been right after Beaver Cleavage)
    Davey Boy Smith > Test
    Kane > Big Show (LMFAO @ having him lose basically in his hometown)
    Christian & Edge > Matt & Jeff Hardy, the Dudley Boyz and the Acolytes
    The Rock > Chris Jericho
    You got your money's worth.
