Absolutely elated to finally own Helen Chandlers autograph, and it's double sided, with Douglas Fairbanks Jr's signature as well. Likely signed sometime in 1930.

@ATOM19505 @KirFlem And what does that mean for you and I? Are we free to use unpopular speech of any kind, without fear of being killed? Zoom out…

@PinDown123 @xVileJimmy @WrestlePurists @BustedOpenRadio Tens of millions of more homes had cable in 2008-09, WWE was over 4 million back then. To even sniff 700k today you would need to be on a major network

@React2W @SammyGr43595219 @AEWAwfulness It’s one week. We going to live and die off of that lol? A bit reactionary…

@AlecLong9 @JenUSA90 @Timodc Anybody who goes that hard against liberal politics is good in my book…. So I guess it’s entirely subjective, I just don’t celebrate the death of people who revolt me. That’s objectively gross.

[Matt Davis @MidCenturyMatt]

@RegallyMeghan @JenUSA90 @Timodc It’s either wrong or it’s fair game, regardless of the person. Otherwise it’s just bias.

This precious Technicolor footage from "Hells Angels" is the only known color film of Jean Harlow, who tragically died this day 6/7/1937, at just 26 years old. The film catapulted her, at age 18, to stardom overnight, and forever preserved her luminous beauty and charisma.

@YaBoy878 @SpaceManDanktos @WrestlePurists @WrestleVotes @FightfulSelect In AEW its guaranteed to be incredibly violent and entertaining. In WWE it would be tame and not worth our time. So yea, we treat it differently. Even old guys do crazy shit in AEW.

Gertie on Tour was a comeback film of sorts for the energetic brontosaurus. This film was never completed & only exists as a 90" fragment. It will be included on the Blu-ray, along w/another fragment from Winsor McCay.

We have 10 days left to meet our goal. Support us below 👇

@WrestlerHauser In terms of legitimate wrestlers, selling a sport, yes they were. At least in pro wrestling.

Backlund and Thesz were the real deal.

@SteveAndrew56 @nodqdotcom He never said it wasn’t bigger, he said it wasn’t as sentimental to him personally. He listed his reasons many times now.

[PelleCreepy @PelleCreepy]

this cartoon is from 1936. I legitimately thought that was a background painting until the rotation revealed it was a prop model. @fleischertoons never ceases to amaze to impress even after 90 years.

@Valzentiaz @Cooney52 @HeartBreakCorb What? She seems incredibly kind, she just doesn’t respect the sex pest company.

@MakaveliDTA Vlad is way cooler than you! He was following ECW when they had way less star power than DON. A true wrestling fan, not a fed shill.
