I haven't covered this in this thread. I became a wrestling fan watching the last few years of Georgia Championship Wrestling then later on as World Championship Wrestling. I would get so excited to watch on Saturdays. There was no internet and the only way to smarten up as a fan were through magazines but the magazines pretty much protected kayfabe. My dad would take me to magazine stands so I could check out the wrestling mags. I especially was following the goings on with Kevin Sullivan and the Army Of Darkness in Florida. There was this great TV show called Pro Wrestling This Week and it featured Gordon Solie and Joe Pedicino. Such a great show that treated wrestling like a sport and presented clips and interviews from all the territories. Bill Watts' UWF was on either before or after PWTW. Mid-South Wrestling under any name is great.

Holy crap, I just realized how much I rambled on. I'm super high right now. Just thinking of my early days as a young, bright-eyed, gullible wrestling fan along with how much fun and excitement there was.

I remember something now. If you send a forensic team to analyze my post it shows my wheelhouse of interest. Let me know if there is anything from the 1980's territorial days you'd like me to post or any other matches or feuds you'd like to discuss. Man, I'm high!

Not really watched wrestling pre 2000 tbf around the time Cactus Jack was feuding with triple h for the title at the royal rumble.

Who do you think has the best womens divisions across the wrestling promotions, in terms of names, division being used right and being utilisied the best.

NXT has a good women's division.

Did you hear Tessa Blanchard got fired from Impact? Michael Elgin, Joey Ryan, and Dave Crist were also fired.

Yeah i heard im bummed about her leaving and wonder where she go next?

The others that got fired has been result of speaking out movement, Tessa was mixture of contract ending and not coming to agreement, been hard to work with backstage heat and not providing promos to Impact while stuck in Mexico

Speaking of "Bizarre"

.... an Eye for an Eye match??

How high was the creative team when they came up with this?

According to Jericho's tweet it looks like AEW had the name first from earlier this year, but it was just a match where they were wearing eyepatches.

For those who haven't heard, the idea behind this one is that you win by digging the eyeball out of your opponent.

...Um, yeah.

The concept is so unappealing (let alone just too unrealistic) that I wouldn't even WANT to watch it, even if it was free. This is coming from a fan of Japanese death matches, which, while over-the-top, were still realistic and violent enough to be shockingly interesting but not so gross as to be vomit inducing.

This match seems like the latter.

Some potential hints for this weekend based on behind the scenes stuff are coming out.

-Mysterio is currently working without a contract. If he loses the "Eye" match, they could write him off, and then if/when he resigns, they can just say he "recovered" from his injury.

-the interview with Sane/Asuka indicating that both wanted to face each other - and that would happen if Asuka retains this weekend. A Sane/Asuka match would be the perfect last match for Sane, so it would make sense for Asuka to win this weekend in order to make that happen.
