  • ”This is horrible, Gorilla.” These words open the issue this week, because Wrestlemania IV is in the books and, well, it was not pretty. Dave is flabbergasted by how bad a show it was, wondering if this was a dream or a nightmare that he hasn’t woken up from. Wrestlemania III was the best wrestling production of all time. It may not have had the best card, but it was entertaining all around and the fans loved it. It set Vince up as the king of wrestling, all-powerful over the business. He’s still the king, but he’s definitely not all-powerful, and Crockett absolutely kicked Vince’s ass on March 27. Financials will take time to come in, and of course McMahon will win that measure, but we can flash back to January 24 for an analogue: The Royal Rumble won even though the Bunkhouse Finals made more money.
  • Preliminary info Dave has gotten from phoning cable companies and hearing from fans at closed-circuit site is that Wrestlemania interest was down by nearly half of last year’s. The buyrate for ppv could be as low as 6 percent, half of WWF’s expected 12% and still way down from last year’s 10.3%. Even so, the PPV gross would be $10.8 million, of which WWF can expect no more than $3.5 million, plus an estimated $2.3 million from a minimum 175,000 (last year had 375,000) at closed-circuit and a live gate of about $ million and an undisclosed site fee from Donald Trump for putting on the show. The early (and I mean early, don’t get attached to these numbers) overall estimate is a total gross of $14 million, with WWF netting maybe $6.5 million, a far cry from the $18 million they were predicting their take would be. How much was because Crockett ran the Clash? How much was because WWF just has been less interesting? It’s hard to say, but Crockett hurt McMahon way more than anyone could have anticipated.
  • As for the shows themselves, just absolute night and day between them. Crockett’s Clash was a really solid show. It wasn’t as polished a production and only had 30 minutes of wrestling in the first 90 minutes of the show, though this was to allow Sting/Flair to work without commercial breaks so it was an overall benefit. The matches, minus the barbed wire one, were all good. The crowd was into it. Two excellent matches. Probably best to never let Steve Williams talk again, though. The Jim Cornette and Eddie Haskel bit was great and made Bob Uecker and Gene Okerlund look worse than they were. Meanwhile, Wrestlemania made Starrcade 1987 look like Starrcade 1985, and that’s too nice to say even. WWF’s guys, rather than working harder because it was Wrestlemania, opted to phone it in instead because Wrestlemania itself would carry the day. Even Jesse Ventura had no good lines and coasted while Gorilla was like soundbites of his Wrestling Challenge commentary.
  • Anyway, Dave breaks down the major problems for WWF, as he sees them. 1) Hogan - he’s too over, to the point he overshadows everything else and by booking him as just one of the guys in the field, they completely devalued their star attraction. And instead of putting Randy over at the end, which they need to do if they’re going to try and have him be even close to as over as Hulk has been, they put Liz and Hulk over. “It’s like Randy can’t even order a taxi cab unless Liz tells Hulk to flag down the cab.” 2) Hindsight is always 20/20, but Trump Plaza was a terrible venue for a Wrestlemania, and the crowd just wasn’t a wrestling crowd, so they were not invested at all. 3) Steroids. Dave supposes he’s probably the most hated person in the world among the heavy steroid users in the business because of all the nicknames he gives them, but in all seriousness it was embarrassing to watch so many guys get blown up in a minute or two to where they couldn’t even pace out a five minute match. Like, take out the health issues, take out any sense of blame on the guys, Dave says. The tournament was embarrassing. It wasn’t funny to see the guys fail like this. It was just sad. 4) The tournament as a concept flopped. It gave fans no specific issue to focus on because belts in modern wrestling just don’t mean anything to fans - the real draw is the big personalities, and WWF proved it with this show: the only matches anyone cared about were the ones with Hogan and, to a lesser extent, DiBiase and Savage. 5) Spoilers. Too many people knew the outcome, and giving Savage the title is almost a mistake after you’ve given so many spoilers of your own show. ABC News did a report the morning after, saying “Randy Savage was the winner at Wrestlemania, but of course everyone knew it since the WWF magazine had printed the result three weeks ago. The WWF claims the magazine report was simply a typographical error.” Anyway, Dave is sick of people blaming him for their wrestling promotions not being able to draw fans at live shows when they aren’t interesting enough. Newsletter subscribers are maybe 0.002% of the viewing audience - if all Dave’s subscribers quit watching nobody would notice in the viewing numbers. Meanwhile, the fans who read newsletters are probably the most dedicated and put more money into the business than the “marks” do and will be the ones stubbornly holding on to the end if the business somehow were to die. So don’t blame Dave if your show sucks and your creative is bad and you give away your finish weeks ahead of time and don’t even bother changing it.
  • Anyway, Wrestlemania preliminary numbers time. About 540,000 homes on PPV, plus 195,000 through closed-circuit, as far as the U.S. goes. They did just 95 closed-circuit sites in the U.S., 39 of which had less than 2,000 capacity. No word on Crockett’s ratings, but if they hit a 5 on TBS that’s about 2 million homes.
  • So all that said, time to look at the Wrestlemania card. Good production, particularly the opening graphics, but not as far ahead of Crockett as last year now that they’ve upped their game. Battle royal started hot and quickly became your standard boring battle royal. The Hart/Badnews angle at the end saves the match from a dud and gets it half a star. DiBiase vs. Duggan was real slow for a five minute match, and Duggan no longer resembles the worker he was in UWF/Mid-South just a couple years ago. Very little heat. 1.5 stars. Muraco vs. Bravo gets half a star, and both were blown up by the double clothesline like they’d wrestled a hard 20 minutes, but the whole match was under 5. Valentine vs. Steamboat saw Valentine look tired and old, and just not have his famed longevity anymore. Good finish, solid work even with the timing issues. Steamboat coming out with his son and being able to be lost in the moment of just being a proud father was “a tremendous sight” for Dave. 2.25 stars. Savage vs. Reed got a pop for the finish but nothing else, really. 1 star. One Man Gang vs. Bam Bam Bigelow wasn’t good. It was obvious how bad Bigelow’s knee was, and that takes away his agility, which is the thing that sets him apart. Dave says this is a -1.5 star match in a vacuum, but considering Bam Bam’s condition he’s not going to rate it that low and calls it a dud instead. Rick Rude vs. Jake Roberts was a 15 minute draw and Dave hated it. He hated Rude’s tights, the many long rest holds, the fact that there just weren’t any moves in there to pop the crowd, and the fact that the crowd chanted boring. Worst match of the year candidate. -2 stars. Ultimate Warrior blew up before he entered the ring for his match with Hercules and the match was bad. -1.5 stars, and Dave says it was worse than Rude vs. Roberts, but gets a better rating for knowing when to be done quick and not overstaying its welcome like the other match did.
Watch: Cleanse your palate with Hogan’s weird promo from Wrestlemania about faultlines and Donald Trump caring about his family
  • Wrestlemania continued, because holy shit that was a really long paragraph and we needed an intermission. Round two saw Hogan and Andre go to a double disqualification to start off. Andre could barely stand by two and a half minutes in. Lots of shenanigans, Virgil took a nasty suplex on the floor where Hulk didn’t protect him at all, but there’s a glimmer of a future face push for him at least. Maybe his father’s a plumber, Dave quips. Half a star if you ignore the posing at the end (dud if you count the posing). But really, the crowd came to see Hogan pose. DiBiase vs. Muraco had no heat but decent action for its short stay. 1.5 stars. Savage vs. Valentine was good, well-paced with good action. 2.5 stars. Beefer vs. Honkytonk Man amazed Dave since neither was over at all when both usually are decently over. Sherri Martel made more noise than the entire audience. Loads of shenanigans, Beefer’s new haircut makes him look like a Davey Boy Smith with less wrestling ability, dud. Islanders and Heenan vs. Koko and the Bulldogs had some decent comedy and started okay, but got boring quick. 1.25 stars. Savage vs. One Man Gang was watchable but the finish sucked. Half a star. Demolition vs. Santana and Martel was solid throughout, although the crowd seemed on Demolition’s side. If the crowd had been responsive this would have been a really good match rather than just pretty good at 2.5 stars. DiBiase vs. Savage saw the crowd missing “two top-flight guys trying to work a good match” because they were watching the entrance waiting for Hogan. Savage sends Liz to get Hogan, Hogan evens the odds, Savage wins, Hogan must pose. 2.25 stars. Once round two started, the show was pretty decent, Dave thinks, just the first half of the show wasn’t RestholdMania, but Rigor Mortis Mania.
  • Over in Crockett Country, it’s a whole different story. They drew 6,000 fans to the Greensboro Coliseum, and all six thousand were champing at the bit for the show, which created a great energy that the wrestlers fed on for their matches. Rotunda retained the TV Title against Jimmy Garvin in the amateur rules match with a one-count pin, pinning Garvin a minute into the second round. 2.5 stars. The Midnight Express beat the Fantastics by DQ to retain the U.S. Tag Titles in a classic Memphis style brawl that was so action packed the cameras missed a lot of it. Dave gives them 4.25 stars, saying the action earned it 4.5, but the overused finish with the over the top rope throw and the referee reversing the decision lost it half a star, but then the post-match action with Corette lashing Bobby Fulton’s back with a belt got it back a quarter star. Dusty and the Road Warriors (the Rhode Warriors, I almost typed) beat Warlord and Barbarian and Ivan Koloff in a real short barbed wire match, and Dave notes the resemblance between Dudty wearing facepaint and a black t-shirt and Dump Matsumoto (with the notable difference that Dump is prettier). Ivan was bleeding after 20 seconds and Dusty after 90. Dave hates these matches - everyone gets all cautious and careful and stays in the center of the ring, so nothing really happens. 1 star. Luger and Barry Windham beat Arn and Tully for the NWA Tag Titles. Good match all around, 3.5 stars. Flair and Sting had a 45 minute draw for the NWA Title in a match of the year candidate. Slow pace to start, but the heat kept up and they weren’t dull and Flair sold the hell out of every rest hold. Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone did fantastic work on this, particularly Ross who sold the intensity and importance of the match, which was critical for the first half (if only he were still able to do that today). There were supposed to be three judges, but there were five people at the table, only two of them didn’t vote, so no idea what the point there was. Anyway, Patty Mullen (Penthouse Pet of the year and who had been on Ric’s arm the night before on tv) picked Flair. Gary Juster, former NWA promoter, voted for Sting. Sandy Scott then ruled it a draw, and nothing came of the judging gimmick which made it utterly pointless. 4.75 stars
Watch: Clash of the Champions. I’ve set it to start with the Steve Williams promo because it needs to be heard to be believed
  • During Clash of the Champions, after the first match, there was an ad on TBS for the WWF 900 number advertising play-by-play for Wrestlemania. WWF managed to get an ad on TBS during Crockett’s big special, and that’s hilarious. They also ran the first ad for the new Four Horsemen vitamins, which was hilarious but unintentionally so, and Dave thinks they aren’t going to sell a lot of those vitamins.
  • Last week Dave teased a big story, and it’s that Crockett has been negotiating with Ken Mantell of World Class Dave didn’t give any details beyond the tease last week because he was hoping to get more before press time. He promises to never note a major story the way he did again without giving more details up front, because he expected more details to break before he had to print copy but it didn’t. Anyway, negotiations have been ongoing for ten days and there are conflicting reports. Crockett’s goal is taking over World Class the way they did Florida, getting the valuable channel 11 time slot on Saturday nights in Dallas. They’re going to need Fritz on board to complete the deal, though. If it does go through, Kerry and Kevin will have guaranteed work and a push in the NWA, but neither really seems to want the travel, so they’d likely get a deal for local stuff and maybe occasional work in St. Louis. The bottom line everyone needs to consider, though, is that Mantell and Michael Hayes may be the most creative bookers anywhere right now, but they aren’t turning WCCW’s business around and it just may not work out that they can. Dave doesn’t expect a deal done now, but he thinks Mantell and Hayes may give themselves until May to see if their hard work will pay off before considering any offers.
  • An example of that creative booking is the WCCW title change on March 25 in Dallas. Hayes was at ringside with Kerry while Black Bart and Buddy Roberts were for Parsons. Iceman King Parsons is one of the least likely champions in wrestling history, and the match wasn’t particularly good, but the finish saw the lights go out after Terry Gordy came down, at which point Bart and Roberts used flashlights to blind the fans in the front row so nobody could see what happened. When the lights came back on, Kerry was knocked out in the ring, Hayes was bleeding on the floor, nobody knew who hit whom, and Parsons pinned Kerry to win the belt. They even had Kerry carted out on a stretcher. Dave doesn’t think (and actively prays against) Parsons will hold it for long. Hayes looks like the best prospect (nope. It’s going back to Kerry in May at the Von Erich Memorial Parade of Champions). Also, I just learned that King Parsons is his real legal name. I always thought combining Iceman and King was a weird combo of gimmicks, so that solves a mystery for me.

  • Eddie Gilbert is leaving Memphis to book for Continental beginning April 10. Continental’s business is bottoming out and it’ll be interesting to see if Gilbert and Missy can get things going there again like they did in Memphis. This also puts Memphis in some dire straits, since the Gilberts were basically all their storylines and they were drawing triple what they had been by giving the Gilberts such big spotlight, so they’re in trouble.
  • Lanny Poffo, brother of WWF Champion Randy Savage, has a book coming out called Wrestling with Rhyme. It’s a book of poetry coming out in late April and will be available at Walden Books. Man, I remember when Walden went out of business. It was a sad day for me.
  • The only news Dave has from Japan right now is that Bruiser Brody beat Jumbo Tsuruta for the International Title at Budokan Hall on March 27. Tenryu also retained his PWF Title against Hansen.
  • Roddy Piper’s latest project is a new film going into production called They Live.
Watch: They Live trailer
  • A correction on the Bruno Sammartino stuff. WWF isn’t trying to ban Bruno from using his name. They’re trying to ban him from using the trademarked nickname “The Living Legend” in contexts outside WWF. There’s a lot of talk about his radio interview , and some excerpts in the mail section of this issue.
  • There’s a film in the works about former Olympic and pro wrestler Chris Taylor. Taylor was a 450 lb wrestler from Iowa who won bronze in the 1972 Olympics and died in 1979. A book about him called “The Gentle Giant” is being adapted into a film, currently called “Lean On Me.” That does not wind up being the title, and I can’t find a movie based on him so this might have gotten scrapped. In other biopic news, no word from Hollywood on any upcoming Hulk Hogan movie.
  • WWF went up to the number 4 slot in the syndicated ratings for the week ending Feb. 28. They had a 10.6 rating, an increase on the previous week. Crockett’s network fell to number 9 with a 7.6.
  • Paul E. Dangerously firing Joe Pedicino, Gordon Solie, and Boni Blackstone on Pro Wrestling this Week aired this past weekend. It was fantastic stuff, and Paul has cemented himself as one of the top managers in the business. This is all part of a reformatting of the show to a 30 minute format with Pedicino and Patrick Schaeffer (who was the mastermind behind Global doing an IPO to build up a million dollars of operating capital) at the helm, with Schaeffer as the heel commentator.
  • Crockett had a big angle taped on March 21 that they aired this past Saturday, involving Magnum T.A. Magnum was doing an interview when Tully and J.J. came out, then Barry Windham came out and Tully popped Windham with a hit, then hit Magnum. J.J. was behind Magnum and helped Magnum gently go to ground, then Dusty barged in with a baseball bat and swung for the fences on Tully, then knocks out Jim Crockett without realizing who he’s swinging at when Jim and David Crockett and Rob Garner try to restore order. Jim Cornette did a tearful interview about his “good friend Jim Crockett” and Magnum even bladed, though that last didn’t make it to tv. Later on, Magnum came out and hit Tully with a bat in a match to cause a disqualification. Dave loved the concept here at first because you have to imagine Magnum hates being on the sidelines and wants to be involved to some extent and this gives him something to sink his teeth into. At the same time, “the idea of beating up a cripple, which unfortunately is the reality of the situation” is just kind of pathetic. That said, it’ll draw, and it’ll let Dusty (with Magnum in his corner) push himself as top star once again, and it may even be enough to put heat back on Dusty vs. Tully. Dusty will be suspended for 120 days come Saturday’s tv (taking us into July - will we see the Midnight Rider face Flair at the Bash, Dave wonders), Dusty will return as the Midnight Rider with Magnum at his side, and he’ll likely get the U.S. title in the tournament they’re going to hold in May.
Watch: Tully suckerpunches Magnum
  • The Oregon State Athletic Commission held a public hearing on March 18. Topics mostly stuck to safety concerns such as cleaning the mats, barriers at ringside, security, mats on the floor by ringside, etc. A lot of wrestlers were there, along with Billy Jack Haynes and Don and Barry Owen. Most of the wrestlers were negative about the Owens’ promotion, with only Tony Borne and Art Crews saying anything positive. Borne testified against the idea of using mats outside the ring, saying it’s not going to help as much as it hurts the visual effect of a spill to the floor. He also said the commission’s drug testing proposal went too far by including painkillers and marijuana on top of cocaine. The commission indicated they’ll be looking at action like the use of chairs in the future and potentially issuing fines. They also clarified their stance on blood: hardway is good, blading is bad. It’s pretty absurd to say that the more dangerous way of getting color is good but blading is bad, but this whole blood thing has become a thing for commissions around the country because blading sounds absolutely insane to people outside the industry, and even Dave has mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, blading is a minor safety issue at best, especially compared to rampant steroid and drug use and nasty bumps. On the other, Dave’s not sure fans are really drawn by excessive bleeding either, and probably actually turns off a large number of potential casual viewers. It doesn’t hurt if kept rare, but it doesn’t help if half the matches have it. And more dangerous to the wrestlers in a blood match than AIDS (they’re more likely to get that from outside activities) is scabies, which Owen’s wrestlers had an outbreak of not too far back. Rip Oliver said he’s gotten scabies four times since July and wound up giving it to his wife and kids on top of it. The outbreak led the Commission to pass a ruling against wrestlers working while they have communicable diseases and that they must notify promoters.
  • Eddie Gilbert vs. Jerry Lawler on March 21 drew 6,000 fans for Memphis. Gilbert won in what’s being hailed as a great match (and Dave’s heard their match the week before was even better). On tv on March 26 Gilbert acted like he was going to throw fire at Lance Russell, which got Lawler out from backstage in his first tv appearance in a month. They wound up brawling into the parking lot and Gilbert slammed Lawler on the hood of a car, shattering the windshield.
  • Scott Rechsteiner, using the ring name Scott Steiner, debuted as a babyface in Memphis recently. No mention of peaks or freaks yet.
  • Some random trivia about AWA Tag champ Paul Diamond. His real name is Tom Boric, and he was born in Winnipeg, you idiots, on May 11, 1961. He played soccer for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the old North American Soccer League and was drafted sixth in the 1980 collegiate draft by the Calgary Boomers, before getting traded to Tampa in 1982. He stayed until the NASL folded, which is when he got into wrestling.
  • Anyway, Diamond and Tanaka won the belts because the Midnight Rockers wanted $500 a week guaranteed to stay and Verne doesn’t believe in guaranteed money. They don’t appear to have left yet.
  • [Continental] Looks like Eddie Gilbert is replacing Robert Fuller and going to be sole booker.
  • [USA] The other spinoff from the old Continental promotion ran its first big show in Knoxville, drawing a $10,000 gate. Previous sellouts there hit $27,000, to give an indication of relative value there. Not a lot to report about this. Moondog Spot is there as “The Dog.” He’s not a big dog. He’s not a little dog. He’s The Dog.
  • WCCW drew 1,700 on March 25 for their Dallas show, where Kerry dropped the title to Parsons. The other main event had Michael Hayes vs. Buddy Roberts, and Roberts kept trying to apologize for hitting Hayes, but Hayes wasn’t going to let it slide. Terry Gordy did a run in and broke things up, and told Hayes they sold Angel of Death’s contract so they can all be friends again. Hayes walked out on Gordy, though.
  • [WCCW] Fabulous Lance keeps getting booked for shows but hasn’t returned. His agent still doesn’t want him to be a heel because it’ll cut down his opportunities for tv and modeling work.
  • To illustrate how bad business is for World Class, here’s the biggest gate they drew out of three shows last week in Mississippi: $783.
  • A man named David Peschel of Washington, New Jersey is suing Randy Savage for a million dollars. He alleges that Savage punched and bodyslammed him when he got out of his car at a light to ask Savage for his autograph. He describes Savage as 6’4” and 280 lbs, prompting Dave to ask if this was maybe a different Randy Savage.
  • Rumor has it that Angelo Poffo put a $1 bet on the Wrestlemania tournament. Apparently, his bet was on Ted DiBiase.
  • According to a sumo journal in Japan, Futuhaguro is 99% certain he won’t go into pro wrestling. Koji Kitao will debut near the end of 1989 in the AWA, so I’ll put my dollar bet on the 1% chance.
  • Reader Mike Rodgers attended the Oregon commission hearing on March 18 and writes about his take. The commission is making big improvements to safety that he thinks are great, but thinks they’re overstepping by wanting to legitimately fine wrestlers who use foreign objects or chairs, and says they don’t understand “that promoters do what they can to fill up arenas.” Banning the blade but not blood is just going to increase the chance of legitimate injury, and it’s part of the proof that the commission really isn’t smart to what wrestling really is about.
  • We get a really long letter on Bruno’s radio interview. The writer taped the second hour and is hoping to get tape of the first hour. But before getting to the good stuff, he first wants to note that lying and silly gimmicks didn’t start in 1984 (was Gorilla Monsoon really from Manchuria? Didn’t Bruno employ gimmick wrestlers when he booked Pittsburgh? How about when he’d blade and claim to have spent the night hospitalized receiving transfusions) and that Bruno’s not really got a leg to stand on for “wrestling must be credible and it is an insult to the fans’ intelligence to lie to them.” Fans knew then just as they know now that it’s a work, but that doesn’t matter - you watch the show because it’s entertaining and you want to see the magician do their tricks. Also, the writer weighs in that the real story with the Main Event will be told by the demographic breakdown rather than the overall rating. In other words, is Hulk Hogan the Demo God? Anyway, after all this preamble, we finally get some quotes from the interview:
  • Bruno denies blading happened in his day but says “today, nothing would surprise me.”
  • Says he’ll never work for the NWA. “I wouldn’t touch it with a 50-foot pole.”
  • He breaks kayfabe on George Steele and says he’s been a teacher for years.
  • He thinks Bobby Heenan is a “dud and a disgrace” to wrestling.
  • He compliments Ric Flair as a guy who can give you an exciting 30 or 40 minute match, but the NWA “have an awful lot of bizarre nonsense in there that, to me, is no good.”
  • He says David wanted to be like him and he tried to warn David that these days they aren’t interested in “guys who just want to wrestle” but he’ll be going to Japan where they appreciate that better.
  • He didn’t like doing commentary. He just clocked in, did his job, and left as soon as he was done. He was very uncomfortable and unhappy doing it.
  • Bruno says WWF didn’t really have anything great to generate interest in the tournament for Wrestlemania.
  • A caller asks if his wrestling was all real, and Bruno says “Well, it was in my day, at least I thought it was.
  • We get a letter that feels so much like it could have been a post here on /SquaredCircle when Dave rated Omega/Okada 6 stars that I’m posting it in its entirety. Be warned, it is long, kind of racist, and absolutely bonkers, but that’s not unfamiliar around these parts. It gets the headline “Sick of praise for Japan.”
I get so sick of the way that people talk about Japanese wrestling. There’s no question it should be covered extensively in the Observer because it is a significant part of the wrestling world. However, when you start printing letters that criticize the American society and the jazz scene, then you are going way too far.
Anyone who thinks the Japanese never forsake quality for showmanship is full of it. The rock group KISS has enjoyed phenomenal success there because of their wild appearence [sic] and stage show. In fact, when they stopped wearing their makeup in the United States, they waited almost two years to do the same in Japan because they knew they wouldn’t be accepted there without it. And what about the movie industry? Do you think Godzilla movies are popular because of great acting?
As a student, I find teachers constantly comparing the American intelligence with that of the Japanese. I’m sure that the wrestlers love being compared to Japanese wrestlers as much as I love being compared to Japanese students. The Japanese do well at everything because they become obsessed with it. For them, it’s a matter of pride. If they screw up, it’s not only a mark on themselves but also on their entire family. You may think that’s great, but it puts a lot of pressure on everyone. They spend hours studying and I’m certain spend hours learning wrestling skills and have no time for themselves. Cut the North American wrestlers some slack. They’re just trying to make a living and preserve their bodies in the process. Look at what trying to wrestle like the Japanese did to Tommy Billington. Everyone would love matches filled with nothing but high spots, but working them is a great way to destroy yourself in a hurry. Now there is no excuse for total duds like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant either, but there are many non-Japanese who can hold their own without going crazy about it. I wonder how many Observer readers can honestly say that they work as hard at their own jobs as the Japanese in the same profession do. If they do, then I think they would quality [sic] as workaholics.
If there is anything wrong with our society, it’s the lack of national pride, which is so evident in the pages of the Observer. You seem to hate everything that wasn’t imported from the other side of the world. I have absolutely nothing against the country of Japan or Japanese wrestling, but I don’t think it’s up to a bunch of wrestling fans to dictate what’s wrong with our country just because they prefer the Oriental style of wrestling. I think the Observer is great, but I’d like to see you stick to writing about wrestling instead of how rotten our way of life is. I’m sure that’s what a Japanese journalist would do.
  • Anyway, Dave responds to that letter, giving the writer only 4 stars because it’s not in the literally-only-opened-a-couple-weeks-ago Tokyo Dome:
DM: Have I ever written about how rotten our quality of life is or done any cultural comparisons between the U.S. and Japan except to where it pertains to the wrestling business? If I lived in Japan and made a comparison of the quality of the football product and wrote the U.S. product was superior, I hope people wouldn’t take it as an indictment against an entire society.
  • Lastly, it’s about that time of year, I guess, because we have letters arguing about whether Dave should include GLOW coverage or not. Two letters this week on that theme, the first noting what the writer calls a progression in the letters calling for more coverage of women’s wrestling. First were the calls for more coverage of “conventional” women’s wrestling. Then the calls for GLOW coverage. Then POWW. Guess the next will be coverage of the apartment house wrestling scene, the writer supposes. The other writer claims to speak for 90% of subscribers and says Dave would offend that much of his readership if he covers GLOW and POWW and says that if you even consider GLOW to be pro wrestling, you’re incapable of understanding what makes a match good or not. This one asks if Dave’s going to be asked to cover mud wrestling next. There’s no misogyny problem in wrestling fandom. Move along. Nothing to see here.
  • Back to news, the Kentucky Athletic Commission has put up some new rules. There are to be guard rails around the ring now. Throwing an opponent over the top rope will result in a fine or suspension. Ditto for any referee who doesn’t immediately stop the match for it. The top rope rule is now state law, as insane as that sounds.
  • Dave should have national numbers next week, but in Atlanta Clash of the Champions drew an 11.7 rating, with the FlaiSting match hitting 14.5 National numbers will not be nearly that high, but hitting that 5 Dave mentioned earlier that would mean 2 million viewers doesn’t seem so far fetched anymore. Clash beat the NCAA tournament on the networks in Atlanta. TBS is reportedly looking to do another in prime time on a Wednesday early in the summer.
  • Stampede set up an angle where Johnny Smith (kayfabe Davey Boy’s cousin or brother or something) argued with Diana Hart Smith, which got Owen out to defend his sister. Davey Boy was supposed to come in after Wrestlemania to work with Johnny, but Vince put the kibosh on that. There were also considerations for some Stampede guys to participate in the Crockett Cup, but politics (Vince) made that a no-go. So it’s probably no coincidence that when Owen did the job for Hercules it was just outside Greensboro. Anyway, the real takeaway is that Owen is probably coming over to WWF by the end of the year.

[OC] What if Pro/Rel Btwn P5 & G5 Conferences Started in 2019?

I’m gonna preface this by admitting there is no chance in hell there will ever be Promotion and Relegation at the FBS level. Which is sad for this soccer-loving verballer, but I digress...
If it existed, it would be very fun and logistically feasible without impacting bowl season or the CFP. Here’s how it would work:
Each P5 conference would need a “partner” G5 conference for Pro/Rel. There are some natural geographic fits (B10/MAC), and some less ideal ones (B12/CUSA). Here’s how they would look:
PAC 12 and MW
SEC and Sun Belt
B10 and MAC
B12 and CUSA
ACC and American
Now here’s how the system would work.
In every G5 conference, the conference title game determines who gets automatically promoted. The conference champ moves up, the runner up moves to a neutral-site “Promotion Bowl” against the 2nd worst team in the partnered Power 5 conference.
In every P5 conference, the worst team from each division - or 2 worst teams in the Big 12 - would play each other in a “Poop Bowl” on conference championship weekend. The team with the better record hosts the game.
Each conference’s “Poop Bowl“ loser is relegated to the partnered G5 conference. The Poop Bowl winner then plays in a neutral-site “Promotion Bowl” against the corresponding G5 runner up.
The Promotion Bowl concept is simple. Win and you move/stay up in P5. Lose and you drop/stay down in G5.
Ok, enough words. How would it have worked in the 2019 season???

2019 G5 Conference Title Games
MW- Boise St over Hawaii
CUSA- FAU over UAB
MACtion- M-OH over CMU
Amer- MEM over CIN
Fun Belt- APP ST over LA-LAF
————
2019 P5 “Poop Bowls” (Host listed on Left)
P12- *STAN (3-6) v AZ (2-7) *STAN lost head-2-head with WSU (3-6). OSU shockingly went 4-5 in conference.
B12- TTU (2-7) v KAN (1-8)
B10- NW (1-8) v RUT (0-9)
ACC- GT (2-6) v NCSU (1-7)
SEC- VAN (1-7) v ARK (0-8)
Predictions: Every home team wins its “Poop Bowl” except Georgia Tech. NCSU lost by 2 at GT earlier in the year, and has the talent to pull the upset in a close game.
TTU and NW should win in blowouts, and STAN should grind out a 14-17 point win.
Vandy v Arkansas is such a shitty, evenly matched game! I think Vandy at home would pound the rock with Ke’Shawn Vaughn to eke out a 24-20 type win.
———
Ok, time now for the neutral-site Promotion Bowls, which would kick off bowl season!
Las Vegas- Stanford v Hawaii
Old Cotton Bowl- Texas Tech v UAB
Browns Stadium- NW v CMU
Charlotte- NCSU v CIN
New Orleans - VAN v LA-LAF
Predictions: STAN has too much for Hawaii to handle. Air Force - the actual 2nd best MW team in 2019 - could beat Stanford, but they’re stuck in Boise State’s division. Oh well.
Texas Tech should beat UAB in what figures to be an insane shootout.
There’s something so poetic about a bad Big 10 team fighting for its Power 5 life at the “Mistake by the Lake” in the elements in MAC country. Inject this annual tradition STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS 🔥 🔥 🔥 NW should be able to claw past CMU, but that will be a perfect “Good Bad Game”
The Bearcats should handle NCSU by double digits and jump into the ACC.
Likewise, LA-Lafayette should score another win for the G5 and beat Vandy by 7-14 points.
——
What does this all mean for the 2020 season???
There are 7 teams in 2019 that were promoted into P5 conferences.
Boise State and Arizona switch places in the P12 South and MW Mtn divisions.
FAU enters the Big 12, while Kansas joins the CUSA West and UAB switches to the CUSA East division.
Miami-Ohio and Rutgers swap spots in the Big 10 and MAC East divisions.
Memphis enters the ACC Coastal, while Cincy joins the ACC Atlantic. NCSU joins the American West, and GT enters the American East division.
App State joins the SEC East and LA-Lafayette gets a murderers row in the SEC West. Vandy and Arkansas drop down to the East and West divisions of the Sun Belt, respectively.
———
Which of the promoted teams could survive the P5 in 2020? Which relegated teams would bounce back?
The P12 South becomes a bloodbath, but I think Boise can hang. A renewal of the fierce Boise State-Utah rivalry is a nice touch. Arizona is among the MW favorites, but it’s not a cakewalk in the MW’s tougher division.
FAU will be really overmatched. Maybe it can survive via the Poop Bowl, but it will be tough. I don’t see Kansas bouncing up right away.
Rutgers will fit in perfectly as a 6-6 MAC team 😂 But Miami-Ohio will likely be trounced. It will be hard for them to stay up.
I think Memphis and Cincy would both hold their own in the ACC. Neither would be relegated in 2020. NCSU and GT would not be clear-cut favorites to return to P5, but both would get there within 2-4 years.
App State could definitely survive in the SEC East, but the Ragin Cajuns would be clear relegation favorites in the SEC West.
Arkansas would have lots of fun regional matchups in the Sun Belt West. They’ll have a shot at promotion in year 1, and should return to P5 status in 2-4 years. Vandy could jump back quickly, or stay in G5 for awhile. Could go either way...
————
Conclusion: This proposal eliminates a couple key issues with FBS football. A late-season Big 10 game between struggling Maryland and Nebraska teams could suddenly have massive importance. Just b/c your team loses bowl eligibility does not mean the season is toast.
G5 games also become much more relevant in the National CFB landscape, and will get higher ratings. I’ve been frustrated with how meaningless the current set-up feels for most G5 teams.
For example, last year’s MAC title game came down to 2 unranked teams. Basically irrelevant unless you are a MAC fan or compulsive gambler. In this Pro/Rel system, the winner is automatically promoted to the Big 10. HELLO RELEVANCE and RATINGS!!!
Pro/Rel also exponentially increases the potential for shit-talk on CFB. Could you imagine if Vanderbilt relegated Arkansas to the Sun Belt, or if UAB shocked Texas Tech in their Promotion Bowl? The postgame threads would be legendary.
To be clear, I know this will never happen. But it should, so I’ll keep track of how this works in 2020 b/c it’s fun.

MLS Confidence Pool - It's like pick'em, but better!

Hi MLS! I've been working on a personal project I wanted to share with you. It's an online confidence pool for the upcoming MLS season. This is a style of pick'ems I've always loved, but it didn't seem to exist in the soccer world, so I did my best to bring it to life.
Do note that the upcoming season has been a difficult deadline for me, so the app's current state is quite minimal. I'll be adding features as much as I can throughout the season.

How it works:

How to win:

How to play:
I've tried to make this as easy as possible. Just sign up with an email and password and make your picks! I will not be making money off of this, so signing up is free and will stay free. Check back every week to see the weekly results and make the next week of picks. And as I said before, expect some big changes to the site over time.

Please reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Happy picking!

Hello. Im 18 with a GED. Can I still do active duty in the Army????

I'm soon leaving for basic but for the past few weeks I've been struggling financially. I'm no longer working and I've used every bit of savings I had (Got fired and still waiting for UE to get approved). Today it's hit me really hard and i'm not sure what to do. I'm making this post because I want to know if this is something my recruiter should know, and if it is will it possibly stop me from shipping?

Prior serive 11B, finishing up my last tiny chunk of IRR drilling with CA (yes, you can do that).

I ship in a couple weeks and I will likely be about 2 lbs overweight (156 when I need to be at 154). Will I still be able to ship or will MEPS hold me back?

Future 11B and hopefully Ranger. I was prescribed glasses when I was in middle school, but never wore them ever since I got them since I always thought I can see just fine. Haven't had any issues with vision when going about my day, or with reading. Could this disqualify me from joining infantry? If it doesn't, then what about Regiment?
(I'm 19 btw)

Alright, hang with me here...
Currently a E-5 25U TPU with an HHC Company within an Engineer Battalion. I'm a Police Officer on the civilian side and I have my BS in Criminal Justice and Criminology. I was approached by our AGR staff during ECT this year, conversation about AGR ensued.
One of our S1 AGR Admins advised that there is a database/listing of all vacancies that AGR currently has by city/state, and MOS. I'd love to get my hands on this so I can plan further, I'm thinking about making the jump.
Also, I entered the Reserve with a SLRP, and I was going through my iPerms last night and I noticed on my SLPR contract that transferring to AGR will terminate my benefits.
Any other bits of advice on AGR, or life in general, would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, quick question. I was looking into applying for CID, but I noticed one of the requirements is attendance of BLC. Does anyone know if this is waiverable?

I have used a lot of drugs in the past. I can pass a drug test but fear my past will prohibit me from joining the army. I have begun to fill out the screening criteria on the Army's website and the questions regarding drug use are making me feel as if I did too much and they will not overlook my past.
I have used marijuana, lsd, cocaine, MDMA and mushrooms. Am I wasting my time filling out these forms?

Link to Comment Chain
Come the end of the year I plan on joining the army, I need a few months to get everything in check and not to mention loosing a few pounds to reach weight and to be in good shape. My preferred mos would be 11B but I’ve done my research and know you go in as 11X before being “assigned” either 11B or 11C. My main question has to with the training for those, how different are they? How many weeks are they? What jobs can those lead you to in civilian life.
Thanks and thanks for your service

Decided to go AD since school ain't working out and don't know if an option 40 is available but i'll ask My recruiter. I just wantsed to know before i ask my recruiter and make him try and get me one if i have a chance of passing or should just see if i get a shot later on. I got the pull-ups, situps and push-ups and i can ruck but the 5-mile Run seems Insane since im not a good runner.
I can do the 2-mile in about 14 minutes atm(never Done a 5 Miler) if i go in with an option 40 and this Run time, would it be possible to get it to the required level in training before rasp?
Also just out of couriosity, how Does 75th Ranger regiments op tempo/deployments look currently compared to big Army Infantry?
Also if someone gets an option 40 and fails rasp, do you get reclassed or sent to an Infantry unit?

Hi everyone so I’m picking my MOS soon and have a question about 19D (Cav scout) and was wondering if anyone has some good information on what they actually do because I’ve been getting a lot of mixed reviews from just googling. Like some say they’re basically infantry but others say it’s a lot more than that. Another site said you’ll be lucky to live 30 seconds? That’s probly an exaggeration but is it really that bad in the field?

Hey y’all, I’m joining soon. I’m thinking 56M— Chaplains Assistant. Wondering what the day to day is like, I hear it’s mostly clerical with occasional excitement and ability to do all the schools. Can someone help de-exaggerate for me? What is your typical day like? Do you get to go to combat much? How often do you deploy?
My wife is terrified I’ll see any combat, but I wouldn’t mind something exciting once in a while. We both feel that to serve God is the best way to serve in the military, so Chaplain’s Assistant seems like the best choice. I eventually would love to do PsyOps if the good lord sees fit.
What’s AIT like? I know CA’s can get stationed anywhere, but what are some likely stations if that can even be predicted? Does the “wish list” really matter? Or is it just like if the army needs someone at one of the places on your list equally to somewhere not on your list then they’ll throw you a bone? Any advice for a married 24yo with a nervous wife joining the military? Thanks!

MEPS Physical question:
Specifically for the interview, my recruiters are telling me that it’s a pretty butt-puckering grill session, they tell me that they’re trying to catch you in a lie and will judge you heavily based on the way you act/dress/sound. I was surprised from this information and did a little research but haven’t found anyone else describing it this way. I know it’s a physician directed interview making me think that it will be relatively casual, but they’re making it sound like it’s a human polygraph lol.
I’m not necessarily worried about the process as I am in great shape and have a clean background but it would be nice to be mentally prepared if it is as serious as they say.
Planning on dressing business casual, sitting up straight, saying my ma’am’s and sir’s and not varying whatsoever from my medical paperwork. Regardless of that is it really even necessary?

Stupid hypothetical question:
Let's say someone has waived tattoos coerving their whole arm but the elbow before they joined. Then they got elbow tattoos to complete a sleeve without permission, what would happen? They wouldn't go as far as to chapter someone out for that right?

Are all Infantry OSUTs being extended to 6 months in October? Meaning is the Army is 100% ditching the 16 week course or is it going to be a mix until it’s fully integrated? 6 months of infantry training in Georgia sounds horrendous compared to the 16 weeks, but oh well gotta do what you gotta do.
Also, my grandpa and father both struggle with mental health issues, (borderline schizophrenia, both hear voices and have been depressed since their 20s) I’d like to see a psychologist before going into the Army and getting checked on but I’m scared that might affect my enlistment terms.

Prospective 25B here. I'm 24 (25 this year in Dec). I saw a posting online for it, but was wondering if anyone here could maybe give some more insight on what I would do, and what I can expect out of the role.

Thanks in Advance!

Turning 21 in a couple months, been thinking about joining since I was 16 - on and off. As time goes on, I've been considering it more and more strongly. Preferred MOS would be 15U (Chinook mechanic). Most recent ASVAB is [very] expired, but did exceptionally well in most areas. Planning on studying up on MC AS and EI just to make sure I'm still up to snuff on the important areas.
Currently hold an associates degree (accounting), working on a bachelors (5 yr program, 2 yrs left) but I'm not motivated by what I'm doing. I don't want to be in an office all day, but I also need to be using my brain and figuring stuff out all the time. Regardless of the army, I won't be returning to college this fall.
One of my coworkers recommended 15T (blackhawk mechanic), and then I found out that another coworker was actually a 15U for 5 years (what I am thinking now). Sometime this week we'll be hanging out after work because I want to pick his brain, seeing that he was precisely what I'm considering.
What is motivating me to look away from college is A) college seems like a great way to an office job that I'll hate, B) the things I learn about in college are really rather boring, C) I've only recently realized that going to college doesn't mean someone is smart, and smart people don't always go to college.
What is motivating me to look into the army, specifically mechanic for some sort of helicopter is A) I've figured out that I feel the best when I'm moving, sweating, working, but also thinking and solving problems, B) I have had a difficult time keeping myself disciplined in life, but have also discovered that having short-term negative and positive motivation helps tremendously (negative and positive consequences for my actions that are realized immediately)
What is motivating me against the army is A) I was in college dorms for two years, and I hated sharing a room with 5 other dudes the size of a smaller 2 bedroom apartment. B) I enjoy a healthy degree of personal privacy and space. C) I hated how the college dorms would have people partying and loudly having sex until 2AM every night, keeping me up. D) I'm on the more quiet and reserved side, most of the time, and sharing a room didn't allow me to take a break from people unless I went to my car.
Now I've read that in the barracks it's two bedrooms per suite, and it's only one soldier per bedroom (private rooms). If that is the case, I would be 100% cool with that. I don't mind sharing living areas, as long as I can close my door when I want to chill by myself. So, one of my main questions I'm posing here is an open-ended "What are the barracks like?"
  • Is it two single bedrooms, with doors, with a shared common area for the other guy?
  • Are quiet hours actually enforced? Do people on CQ actually keep things in check?
  • If you're 21 but the guy sharing the suite isn't, are you allowed to have alcohol in your room?
  • If the army pays for your housing (barracks), food (chow hall thing that's always pretty close by), what else is there to spend money on other than alcohol, a car, and a cellphone? Seems like most of that paycheck could easily just be saved.
  • In general, what's barracks life like? Social life? What about for the more reserved people?
  • How are barracks organized? As in, do companys get their own barracks buildings? Or is it a big mix of whoever. I'm pretty sure they are generally located rather close to where formation happens, so I'm guessing it's company barracks.

Back from Basic/AIT, I was only paid BAH Type II during my whole training with an active lease, everyone else I knew that had a lease were getting paid Type I.

My unit's admin says I'm not entitled, but evidence suggests otherwise. Is there a way I can escalate this?

I'm a Pakistani citizen about to pursue a bachelor's degree in Germany. If I graduate from college (in Germany) and get my Green Card, will I be able to enlist in the Army and get my citizenship (after a while, I know) and then ultimately become a commisioned officer? My big concern is the degree, will a degree from Germany fulfill the bachelor's degree requirement for becoming a commisioned officer? Thanks in advance.

Realistically, how would joining at 24 affect my career? I'm wanting to do 35L but would probably join in about a year or so, REDACT , as well as I want to better prepare myself. I'm not totally out of shape but I would like to bounce back before enlisting because quite honestly I want a shot at RASP or SF support if the cards deal correctly.
My only concern is how age may have an impact, will being 24/25 by the time you get to your first unit have a major affect? Will it have any positive or negative affect on my career?
Obviously I don't currently know if I will stay in the Army for 20 years since I've never been in to see just how it is, but I do want to work in CI or a related field once out. Any information is appreciated.

Hey guys. I'm PCSing from Ft. Stewart to Korea and I'm currently on leave. When I cleared the only thing I couldn't turn in was my pro mask. I got my final out July 12. Today I got a call from my buddy that was turning in my pro mask. Apparently our cbrn rep switched up pro masks, so my mask wasn't mine. It was someone else's. Now she's counting mine as lost and the other one as the original owner but I signed for it. How should I handle the situation?

hello, new to this but I am currently in the process of getting into the army. I am being advised not to be truthful about my scar on my elbow at MEPS.
I have Tommy John surgery from baseball in 2013 and was medically cleared to play again in 2014. I need advice on how to handle this situation. Is this something that could disqualify me? Should I be honest and wait in MEPS to do their thing?

So I am a Civilian looking at the potential of joining the Army National Guard and I just had a few questions, as my current work schedule doesn't give me much if any time to talk to a recruiter. (Also I have heard they will say stuff just to get you to sign up.)

1: at first I was looking at just being the standard sign up and go with what every the army says I am best and and stick to that since the advertisements around town said "make $1,600+ a month and only work one weekend" or similar thing. But after some digging it seems that pay is only if you are called into active duty and when you just do drill weekend you only get paid about $200. Am I correct in my understanding?

2: I also have see that full time positions are available (I believe they are called title 32). Are there any for a college drop out like myself or are they all specialized and need degrees? If not and they just need advanced training, then what do my chances look like for getting into and through that training? (I am a fast learner and fairly smart, but I dropped out because college felt meaningless to me)

3: What are the commitments like? I will likely be moving in two to three years and don't want be stuck in one place as the main reason I am interested in this is helping pay for my wife's college and grad school (She wants to work at the VA primarily with PTSD patients).

4: I am a big guy, not specifically tall (Between 6 foot and 6'1) but I haven't weighed the max 195 since sophomore year in high school. I am simply very broad and while currently I am a bit fatty, I've been exercising a bit recently and have lost 15 pounds but I am still at 280 and I likely wont be able to get less than 220 without losing a lot of muscle too. Will I be able to get accepted? (Also if I do decide to sign up, I want to aim for top marks on the Physical test any work out routine tips?)

Thank you for your time and service.

I’m supposed to be leaving for basic training next month and the 26th, but I need to get my weight down and I’ve been having a problem with it. Ive cut all soda and have been drinking mostly water and I’m for the most part I’ve been eating right also. Ive been walking a lot too and working out a bit, but it seems like I can’t drop my weight. It seems like my weight doesn’t move and when it does go down it shoots back up by like 3 pounds by morning. This morning I weighed in at 213 which is the most I’ve weighed since January, and I’m eating a lot healthier and exercising a lot more then back then. What are some tips to help me get my weight down? What am I missing? I’m 5’10 and my mos is 88M.

So I want to join but I have a wife and son that I provide for. My brother in law is in the army and he said that while I’m in basic and AIT the army will pay for housing for them, but when I talked to a recruiter she told me that they won’t pay for housing until after basic and AIT. I just want to know who is correct? My brother in law is single but he says he has a lot of buddies who were in similar situations that had their family’s taken care of.

Is it a good idea to train considerably before you even enlist if you want to make it through ranger pipeline, or should you let them train you in basic and just mentally prepare? I'm 26, 160#, pretty lean, 4 months into fitness as a result of deciding to do this with my life. I have not met the basic 75th physical requirements yet, and I'm processing in September. Literally any advice for someone looking into this, aside from what you've all read on Google, would be helpful.

Augmentee opportunity.
Some others from my unit and myself were offered an opportunity to deploy with another unit. Out of respect for their OPSEC ill just say its likely too late for me to take advantage of the chance this time around because im still a young new soldier with only an interim clearance. I have the CPT who came and talked to us few guys' name and number. It seemed I was the only one from my unit who was serious about taking advantage of the chance to gain such an experience working with the best of the best but was told I was pretty much out of luck without a clearance to do my job. What could I do to not close this door for once I do have my clearance and the next deployment comes around. I don't think its necessarily appropriate that lil Pri is texting pals with CPT X. What could I say or who could I go through to maybe be aboard the ship next time? My COC would maybe allow it but I don't foresee them getting the ball rolling for me if I pestered them so how do I reach out to this other unit?
