Nothing like a scaffold match on a major wrestling show in the mid 80's and here we have The Fantastics & Steve Simpson against Eric Embry & The Rock & Roll RPM's at Texas Stadium

These matches were great visually but never really any good

The very last appearance by Ted DiBiase on a UWF TV show before going to WWF was on the 5/23/87 episode of Power Pro where he & Dr. Death confronted Big Bubba Rogers

This was supposed to lead to a DiBiase heel turn on Doc which would've been pretty damn great

Bret’s 1997 run was absolutely GOATED 🐐

What if there was a streaming service just for WWE’s full library and all of the other libraries of wrestling that they own. Some kind of network maybe?

One of only two British Regiments, along with the York and Lancasters, which chose honourable total disbandment instead of amalgamation in 1968.

As I’ve noted: every billionaire is retarded. If sh*t hits the fan, Argentinians will just kill him & take his stuff. If you had $20B you should build a compound in Appalachia, subsidize the ~5,000 ppl in town via a make work company that loses $20M/yr

THOSE ppl will defend you

crazy that england is likely going to lose trial by jury, a basic english right since the early middle ages, because they wanted a multiracial society.

1000 years of tradition and law, gone in two generations.

Throwback to when someone paid £25 to have Osama bin Laden as a crowdie at Elland Road during Covid 😂

That time Shaq randomly showed up on WWF RAW back in 1998 and Vince McMahon tried to kick him out for not having a backstage pass 😂

This was Shaq's first ever appearance on WWE TV.

Captain Lou Albano as a heel manager in the old WWWF/WWF was pretty damn wild at times

Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito was one of his great tag champions that he managed and they could cut their own promos too which always helped

Saito talking about lazy Americans here was great

Andy Dick gave Brynn cocaine that night, and then years later was confronted with this by Jon Lovitz
Dick told Lovitz that he put a “Phil Hartman” hex on him at the Laff Factory…

Lovitz slammed Andy’s head against the bar like his name was Billy batts.

Respect to Lovitz.

Bob Backlund is firing all cylinders here. Drunk with power after winning the title and still on a moral crusade. Totally convincing portrayal.

RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly) events are not unusual in the rocket world

By 1956 Stan had suffered his stroke & Ollie was unwell & losing weight.

But, as this last lovely film shows, whilst they were both fragile & ailing their love for each other & genius humour was in no way diminished.

Having lived and/or worked in DC for over a decade, I can’t believe I’d never heard of this letter from the Duke of Wellington to a bunch of bureaucrats in London during the Napoleonic wars.

If you haven’t either, please enjoy (link below if the font is too small):

All three crewmembers of a South Korean Army Boeing Vertol CH-57D helicopter are killed while installing a sculpture atop the Han River Olympic Bridge in Seoul.

The incident is caught on video and widely circulated on the World Wide Web.

Lee Kuan Yew abolished trial by jury in Singapore after determining that it was too easy for defence lawyers to appeal to racial and religious biases of juries in multicultural Singapore.

He writes in his memoirs how as a young lawyer he was able to get three clients acquitted who he was sure did commit murder. LKY writes that he "worked on the weaknesses of the jury -- their biases, their prejudices, their reluctance really to find four Muslims guilty of killing in cold blood or in a heat of great passion, religious passion, an RAF officer, his wife and child."

He writes "The judge was thoroughly disgusted. I went home feeling quite sick because I knew I'd discharged my duty as required of me, but I knew I had done wrong.”

Study after study shows that in multi ethnic societies, there is significant in-group bias on juries.
