@OTD_in_WWE My middle-school self & friends thought it would be cool if they kept the platform moving during a match, maybe even faster!

But if I was older, I might’ve suggested the same thing about 20 Minute Workout.

@JimValley @realkevinkelly Wrestling needed more heel Denny Brown. He and Cliff Anderson made a great bully team. Locking Candieman in the trunk of his own hatchback was gold.

@MonsoonClassic I liked this at the time, and wished there was more of it. A “real” reason to follow up and make a match.

Also, Frankie Lancaster was a really good hand who deserved a few wins, IMO.

I just remembered, @TheJimCornette and @GreatBrianLast, among wrestling people being shot into space, former jr heavyweight champion Mike Davis has everyone beat by about 29 years.

Also, this word from Richard Sears (didn’t he write the whole book?) about sending things other than money. 😄

Hey @TheJimCornette, I knew the tip you gave international customers re: shipping sounded familiar. This is from the 1902 #Sears catalog. Tell them when the site returns, “anyone can get up a club.”

Is #TitoSantana’s sister performing at #WWE #WrestleMania again? You know, for #NationalSiblingsDay and all?

.@TheJimCornette Did you ever hear #CaseyKasem’s introduction of Chase? #MidnightExpress #ICW

[Standby @standbytommy]

@Alison__Joseph Did this last night for my down payment for that reason. But check for a transactional limit.

Similar to my guess why an inverted atomic drop is legal: I just picked you up. You’re the one who hit my stationary knee coming down. Just spitballing here. I suppose it was convenient for Watts if he didn’t want off the top to be the finish for every match, just some.

[Standby @standbytommy]

.@Mike504Saints @GreatBrianLast: may’ve missed the resolution, but I have a guess at MSW off the top calls. 1 is launching oneself directly onto opponent (headbutt/shoulderblock). The other is flying in the air (moonsault/crossbody) and the opponent just happens to be in the way.

Fortunately that was just an obsolete Beta camera that Shane used on #WWERaw

Glad the director didn’t switch to it, as it was never connected anyway. 😄

Google Photos’ unsolicited artificial intelligence got me in the feels. #derbytwitter

FBF to 1999/2000, me (talking with my hands) to "The Chokester" Tom Motley LIVE on another edition of The Chokehold Radio Show on WVOJ AM 970! Our producer, AJ Styles, in the booth! Miss doing these old shows, miss the engagement with the callers we had. Good times!

Just overheard someone placing #BettyWhite in the #80s @Wendys #WheresTheBeef commercials. Oh, where to begin...
