House shows > TV tapings

Mainly because you don't have to sit through any asinine skits or interview segments.

Clearly you need to make a funny sign for it. Maybe something about how you want a cage match between Vince and Gary Bettman.

Bettman Fehrs Competency

So Smackdown is coming to Anchorage in January.

Main events are listed as Lobster Head/Big Show and Orton/Del Rio. DBD/Kane are being mentioned, but not listed for the event on the WWE site.

Anyone been to these? What to expect?

So the whole screw Goldberg over angle was just a way to bring in this chump as a wrestler? Really?

He was a wrestler down in FCW for a long time. About time they came up with a new way to bring someone in.

Former NWA, WCW, & WWE wrestler Brad Armstrong, 51, was found dead at his home this morning. This comes less than two weeks after former Chapmionship Wrestling from Florida wrestler Mike Graham was found dead at 61 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

I was a HUGE Brad Armstrong fan back in the early/mid-90s. How can you get any more old school than your finish being the Side Russian Leg Sweep?

Not bad, but I would have thought that the Rams would have liked it if they could have had em do the Legion Of Doom in Ram's colors.

So there's a big thing about Punk smacking a fan in the crowd during his getaway at the end of Raw. My question is this: even if someone pushed him from behind, is he justified in swinging wildly and hitting whoever was back there? What if that had been some guy with his kid on his shoulder who slipped?

I don't think I can handle this tripe anymore, I'm thinking bail.

Well that was a waste of an hour (because that's how long it took to fast-forward through a 3-hour Raw).

I think he's talking about The Original Sheik...Sabu's uncle.

Right you are DL. His real name was Ed Farhat.

Starting in 1969, he also wrestled regularly in Toronto, where he was undefeated for 127 matches at Maple Leaf Gardens. He defeated the likes of Whipper Billy Watson, Lou Thesz, Gene Kiniski, Bruno Sammartino, Édouard Carpentier, Ernie Ladd, Jay Strongbow and even André the Giant during Andre's first extensive tour of North America in 1974. It was Andre who put an end to the Sheik's Toronto winning streak in August 1974. Sheik continued to headline most shows in Toronto until 1977, but business dropped off significantly over the last three years.
