My grandfather LOVED Jerry Blackwell after he turned face in the AWA, which meant six year old me got to go on a weeknight to watch the wrestling with him.

Telling me I don't have to listen to Matt Striker call the main event gets me interested, and that interest is instantly killed off when they tell me that Mauro is the one replacing him.

26 is way too young. RIP.

He missed four months in 1997, but he was working WCW shows the entire way through.

Jim swore off of Wendy's today because the owner is a massive Trump supporter. And you all said he wasn't capable of changing.

Service charges like that are total bullshit. There is a Monday Night Raw episode coming to Winnipeg in February. I can get upper deck tickets for as low as $29.25 right now. There are 44 floor seats, opposite the hard cam that cost $648.50 plus a $97.70 service fee, which is completely ridiculous.

Re: Champions in Japan/Mexico, USA, Benoit counts. He won the WWF Light Heavyweight title in Mexico.

I don't think he is the clear babyface with Moxley, and that's what he should be using as his reason for a heel turn.

The Shane Taylor stuff sounds like a work.

Well Buddy Rose is dead, which would seemingly make him hard to cancel.

The show doesn't air late night in all the markets. I used to get Fox Rochester, and it would air in the middle of the afternoon on weekends.

I agree with this. As much fun as a #1 contenders match is, it means someone who is supposedly worthy of a title shot eats a loss. Give title matches to guys on winning streaks, and people will pay attention to who is winning. The only complaint I have about the news release was them talking about how this is like strength of schedule format in college football. None of the opponents Cody has faced have won a singles match, so his strengh of schedule is comparable to beating two MAC teams and a FCS school to start your Big 10 season. Small complaint for sure, but something they can work on in the future.

The four guys who aren't the shits in that match could make it interesting. Big Daddy Yum Yum getting booked again out of the blue is bizarre. Cibernetico was never a workrate guy, but he was an over mother fucker during his peak in AAA. He's not nearly that guy anymore, which explains why him vs UG in a singles match is not the main event of the Anniversary Show.

Or it means that FS1 has college basketball scheduled every Wednesday night from November to March, and that NXT to FS1 on a Wedneday night was never actually a feasible plan.
