Bumbers Over Fascist Syndication and The Current Men's Doubles Champions

*This blog post was started on November 3, 2021.

I am coming off of a three-day weekend. Was the time off very productive? If only I would have listened to "Marty and Sarah Love Wrestling" last Friday morning, road trip tales would be told. But come on. How often do you get to sleep in on a weekday?

The Berwyn Eagles club is a venue that I miss, but purse strings are wearing thin. There is still C2E2 to attend (Flood these inboxes at Reed Pop to try and get NinetyForChill.com - The #Podcast a panel [Do not feel guilty. They got my $97.50.] Chris@ReedPop.com; Kristina@ReedPop.com.) and I have a Disney World trip and you know I am planning to grab a custom light saber. If anything, the weekend showed me to appreciate stinginess. Saturday was dedicated solely to the apartment and Sunday just saw me spend $30 on a movie ticket, popcorn, and a D.P. Dough calzone.

That day was a winner because I got a podcast out of it, and I see the D.P. is still doing the punch cards. It is good to know that I can just walk in once again and save five bucks. I hate delivery/carryout apps.

After the weekend, I should at least get more out of the money I currently spend. The NJPW World on my iPhone would not let me use Chromecast and the Airplay was dropping in and out with my Apple TV. So I now have a Fire Stick, Apple TV, and built in Chromecast to my 4K TV (The Fire Stick was a necessary purchase so I am available to troubleshoot everyone I purchased a Fire Stick for.). Saturday this week is my return for the holidays at my retail gig. Perhaps I have just made myself the ideal candidate for the home theater department.

The getting more for my buck is based off of having easy to access NJPW available to me. If I can kick the YouTube habit, I can just place a card on and relax. With the new Pokemon game coming out this month, Young Lion and 10-man tag matches can provide the background noise as I detach the Switch from the dock. My challenge is kicking that YouTube habit. It will be tough.

With TopTenz.net and "Today I Found Out", weird World War II facts are hard to pass up. If only the turn of the century programs on A&E had more British accents, the channel would have never become the shit show it is now. I am sorry to say that about Peter Graves.

Of course the irony of this is that Ring of Honor is going on a hiatus after December. Not to say I was watching much ROH (Fuck the assholes at Sinclair Broadcasting.), but it is sad that the promotion I was striving to work for during my career hay day (I had just come up with a championship for guys who get in the ring every five years. We just need to start up a promotion for it.) possibly vanish.

You cannot make a TV show out of an indie fed. I have seen some OLD ROH TV and I have seen what the local marks have produced for public access. FireFighter is such a silly mark since you do not necessarily have to pay to put stuff on YouTube. It is rare to run into someone who is a self-proclaimed smark who does not display that smart mark is an oxymoron.

It turns out that networks cannot produce wrestling. If history is repeating itself, I would be afraid if I was Impact or AEW. Not only did WCW go down. ECW followed (technically).

In the end, I am amazed that vehicle bumpers are a more lucrative business than syndicated television. Are there that many Toyotas out there? I believe they are supposedly the most popular car in the world, but I know more people who are aware of ROH than own a Toyota. Then again, who is not busting their ass to make Lexus money? Surely the duos below are.

"2001 Maniacs": Setting Back Southern Relations...in an Ideal Way

Since Roger Ebert is not on television anymore, so the only film expert (in 2010) I consistently follow is Chris Gore. He is Ebert-like in ways when it comes to inexplicable taste. How Ebert applauded the "Lara Croft" films, Gore is willing to show respect to the obscene.

Nothing wrong with the obscene, but it places you in the niche critic genre. As long as the Criterion Collection exists, your expert title may be inappropriate if you are recommending "Suicide Girls Must Die (which I did follow up on and was not disappointed.)." With that title, I wonder who is the real expert is, Gore or I.

But, when you are trying to find one hundred DVD rentals to critique (This review's draft was written in 2010.), you need some guidance. With a recommendation of the 2010 release "2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams", surely the prior film had to be worthwhile enough to warrant a sequel. Let us hope that sequel was not director Tim Sullivan's "Evil Dead 2" (A remake of the original meant to surpass it).

Roman Reign Is Still Number 5 and How to Treat Saudi Blood Money

*This blog post was started on October 23, 2021.

There is still a half hour on my Saturday shift at the bank. It has been easy enough to keep myself amused. I may have lost $10 on Newcastle United, but the beauty of the game comes from a point being gained and the other team not pulling any further from you. Regardless of my optimistic take on being in the bottom three, the transfer window cannot come soon enough. Bring on the blood money.

NUFC is the closest thing I have to patriotism. The leadership is evil, but you must proudly promote it. This was something that I did not do for the Trump presidency, but I could take action to change that...or I at least live in a state that cannot help his cause.

TD Ameritrade represents what is killing this country and the Ricketts are far too Republican for my taste, but they are not murdering anyone. In other words, I am proud of my allegiance to the Chicago Cubs even at the cost of further gentrification to Wrigleyville.

Unless "NinetyForChill.com - The #Podcast" can bring in $828-million, I cannot change NUFC's leadership. My z-budget, pro-wrestling zom-com "Main Event of the Dead" can easily turn a profit (If you want to help get this project out of development hell, send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. I would be happy to send you a script treatment.), but nowhere near the high nine figures. This makes me ponder how much money "Avengers: Endgame" actually made.

The only way for Newcastle United to change is for the team to become so good, that Elon Musk buys them out. Jeff Bezos's history with MBS makes Tesla our only hope.

How will I cope with the hypocrisy of supporting a team ran by a murderous government? All it took was a look at the crowd to see white Geordies with ghutrahs. I got to buy myself one just to mock the Saudi Public Wealth Fund. They must be insulted until they clean their act up.

I always like to joke that you should not take on a group of people as a mascot, provided they are still alive. The Aztecs, Mayans, and Trojans, there are none of them left to feel insulted. The Illini, that is just bad taste. UIUC's most memorable logo looks like they mounted Chief Illiniwek's head to some Donald Trump Jr's wall. White men took everything from them. Why add further insult?

Mohammad Bin Salman is an asshole who needs insulting. Show me Saudis who lack oil money who sport shemagh, and maybe I will feel bad for picking on an entire country. At least get your PR team working MBS.

If I take this approach, maybe I can watch more wrestling. Perhaps I can be sold on Roman Reigns can make a case to climb up the Disgruntled's Real Championship Wrestling rankings.

I kid of course. Three hours of wrestling on a Friday night is one hour too many. Anyhow, if Fox News is getting ad time, Fox is not getting my time. My fandom cannot be sold to every anti-humanity organization.
