Bingo.

Koko was awesome.

Always thought that Tombstone looked dodgy as fuck. :-\

This was my takeaway. Cannot recall him even doing it but he was very much in the role of JTTS when I first got into wrestling but I don’t think I’ve seen a safer and smoother buster.

Legit thought he was taking that powerslam

In AEW he'd kick out at 2

I’d rather be dead in Impact Wrestling than alive in AEW.

Prove it

Adrian Adonis was amazing

For me, the most jarring example of the phenomenon that tweet discusses came during our watch-along when I realized that AJ Styles is old enough to be ‘86 Magnum TA’s dad.

Judy Martin and Leilani Kai are 32 and 27 here respectively

https://transform.nws.ai/https%3A//c..._1200,c_limit/

Judy Martin is the same age there as Mandy Rose

Wow! Good reminder of how there's no universal look to an age.

Judy Martin is 32 going on 60 there.

Go look at any high school yearbook from the late 80s/early 90s. Everyone looks like they’re in their 30s. Major changes in styles.

I’m betting Harley Race looked like he was in his 60s in high school.

I could not find his yearbook picture but here he is at 20…

So… Good assumption.

He was wrestling at 16.

Probably the greatest induction ever with the saddest line at the end. :'(

The wife got me tickets to Raw in Nashville next month, haven't been to a live show since Smackdown 99 for the tag team buried alive match. Pretty stoked.

I hope the show goes well. Unfortunately you’re probably not getting a Jeff Jarrett appearance. :lol:

It's lower bowl so pretty decent seats, also on camera side. I'll bring the obligatory TPWW.NET sign also.

Posting those back to back reminded me of the original Animaniacs skit "Good Idea, Bad Idea" which was amazing.

Barry Windham in ICU after a massive heart attack

Underwent emergency surgery to save his life. Hopefully all is good.

Now seems like a good time to re-hash the argument I made last year that Barry deserves to be mentioned in the GOAT conversation WAY more often.

Hmm I guess drawing ability does matter in wrestling.

DDT!!

going to a show on 12/16 with a "fans bring the presents" (weapons) match. think i am going to get a wiffle ball bat, wrap it up in some xmas light necklackes, maybe some silver garland, maybe a star on top, and glue a bunch of thumbtacks all over it.

Front row seats?

Or will you be in the nosebleeds (4th row)?
