And of course, Bischoff was removed from the company and will no longer be doing whatever he was actually doing. Although as someone else said, Heyman gets to write cuckold fetish skits for a senile old man and Bischoff got to hang out in catering and collect a fat payday for two months, so who’s the REAL genius?
Tonight is the second episodes of AEW Dark and NWA Powerrrr on YouTube so I’ve got lots of shit to review this week.
Enjoy the evening!
EVERYTHING IS FINE!!!
This was billed as a special edition of RAW. However, it was hosted inside of a studio. And a poorly lit one at that. The production values for this show were even worse than usual.

Well that was quite the epic run for Uncle Eric. Did he even, like, do anything as part of the role besides hang out in catering?
The SmarK Rant for WWE Network Hidden Gems – Georgia Championship Wrestling at the Omni – 12.04.83
(Hey youse guys, you get a second rant this morning because I wrote this on the weekend to have something banked for later. However, with NWA Powerrr, AEW Dark (yeah I’m gonna review that too, wanna fight about it?), Dynamite and Smackdown all coming up this week, I’m pretty packed for content as it is and I don’t know when this would get posted. So let’s just post it now! )
Wait, where the hell did THIS come from? I don’t even remember this getting added to the Gems collection but it’s just sitting there now, mocking me for never watching it this whole time.

Glazer and Laconi review episode of one of All Elite Wrestling Dynamite. Join us here every Wednesday for a review of the latest episode.
Watching Summer '99 WCW, lots of nWo B team, but seems the Wolfpac elite just seems to fade away with no actual story, followed by the B team. How did the biggest angle in WCW history just fade away? Nash came out with tie dye nWo shirt against SID, announced as wearing nWo colors, that seems to be the last mention of Nash's association, what gives?
I'm flattered that you think I can even remember any of the shit happening on Nitro in 1999.

It’s time for another big episode here, because we just can’t have a regular show these days. This time around it’s the second night of the Draft and that means maybe we can find out how WWE can manage to screw it up again. They’ve gotten really good at that in recent weeks and there is no reason to believe they won’t do it again. Let’s get to it.
Howdy Blog O’Doomers!
Welcome to Monday nights! It was another eventful week of wrestling and there was a lot to consume and talk about. So, for those interested, my quick thoughts:
— NWA Powerrr probably gave me the most joy to watch. Shortly after I watched it I wanted to be the studio for tapings in the near future. I also felt like I got a lot out of as a first-time watcher. The talent that was showcased explained who they were and why they were here. That’s nice to see.
— NXT had the best wrestling top to bottom. AEW was pretty good too. I didn’t like the tag match as much as some because it just felt like moves and more moves with a lot of athleticism and little transitioning or reason. Did like the one guy in Private Party, the one with the blond highlights. He felt like a star to me.
— I already said my piece on the Bayley turn from Smackdown. It was well done and fairly definitive, but it was also the final result of how creative on the main shows truly failed her despite having what should have been a simple transition. It’s a failure on the top management because she should have been a major money and merchant mover. Vince and Dunn’s fixation with Charlotte is probably as much to blame as anything and they don’t understand that female characters can have levels of depth beyond being bitchy and petty.
Anyway that’s that. Tonight RAW will have the rest of the televised draft and maybe FOX’s football robot will return.
Lions-Packers is your Monday Night Game.
Cardinals-Nationals is your MLB playoff game.
The Deuce is my show that I am enjoying immensely.
Keep it clean!
