God, why am I doing this to myself again?
(The show’s so long it deserves two logos!)
The PG Era Rant for AEW Dark Episode 63: Buckle Up, We’re In For The Long Haul.
From the AEW Arena, Novemeber 24.
Your hosts are Excalibur, Taz, and (to start) Anthony Ogogo.
Oh, baby, we got ALL the matches tonight! Sammy Guevara battles Marko Stunt! It’s a three-way tag match with Chaos Project, Janela/Kiss, and Uno/Grayson! Matt Sydal steps up against Alan Angels of the Dark Order! Brian Pillman and Griff Garrison look to silence the complaints of TH2! KiLynn King and Rache Chanel battle in a showdown of Nightmare Factory grads! Trent looks to overcome the unorthodox styles of Michael Nakazawa! Someone’s “0” has to go between Peter Avalon and Fuego Del Sol! Tay Conti enters Britt Baker’s Waiting Room!
PLUS: Ivelisse and Diamante! Brandon Cutler! Jurassic Express! Big Swole! Private Party! Reynolds and Silver! Penelope Ford! The Acclaimed! Red Velvet! Gunn Club! And LOTS OF GATORADE TO KEEP ME HYPED!
(Seriously, AEW, if you keep this expansion up I’m gonna start splitting the review into two parts on two different days of the week, not just for clickbait but for my sanity. Don’t tell me I can’t, Scott; I’m not a machine!)
TONIGHT!
AEW Dark returns with a 4 hour, 25 match extravaganza! OK, I’m exaggerating. A little.
Apparently NWA returns to YouTube next Tuesday as well with “Shockwave”, which sounds like leftover matches from the United Wrestling whatever they’re doing at the moment.
Eh, more wrestling, why not.
Have a great night!
Howdy!
Tonight for the first time in the tournament, Hiromu Takahashi will not be in the main event, as our feature bout will feature Master Wato taking on El Desperado!
Let’s watch some wrestling, shall we?

Date: November 22, 2020
Location: Skyway Studios, Nashville, Tennessee
Commentators: Madison Rayne, Josh Matthews
We’re done with Turning Point and now things are starting to get a little more interesting. There were two title changes on the show as the Good Brothers and Deonna Purrazzo won the Tag Team and Knockouts Titles (you can figure out which did which). Other than that, the hunt is still on for John E. Bravo’s shooter. Let’s get to it.
walks out as #30 and wins it by doing nothing.
Guys, I think Trump might have finally started to figure out they lost!

The SmarK Rant for Saturday Night’s Main Event #12 – 10.03.87
(Originally written 11.23.20)
You may have also heard about this show before. The previous version I had was from 2007, which means…ugh…new format and it’s GOTTA GO. I will not rest until they’re all purged from my archives.
For some reason the Network version has removed the background bassline music from the pre-show promos and replaced it with generic crowd noise. I don’t even understand them.
Monday Night Raw
Date: November 23, 2020
Location: Amway Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, Samoa Joe
We’re finally done with Survivor Series and that means it’s time to head towards Tables, Ladders And Chairs in about four weeks (and also in the new Thunder Dome at Tropicana Field). Tonight is probably going to be about fallout, though I’m not sure what that is going to entail from last night. Let’s get to it.
Howdy Blog O’Doomers!
We are a day after Survivor Series and what I thought was a pretty fun card with three excellent matches. Watching Roman-Drew a second time and I wonder if they gave that away too early. They could always run it back at Wrestlemania if other main event options don’t work out, but…it just felt like an epic clash that could’ve waited a little longer.
RAW is Live tonight and I am not sure how many more they have in Orlando before moving to a far better part of the state in St. Petersburg. With the word that they might have fans at the Royal Rumble I am going to try to get tickets since I love the Rumble.
Not much announced for tonight.
Bucs-Rams is YOUR Monday Night Game. I will be in attendance. Look for me in the Jalen Ramsey road jersey (he’s such a diva, I love him).
And check out this golden memory and some amazing canned crowd heat.
Keep it Clean.
I’d share the link to the YoutTube, but it turns out that Bull wears clothing and decorates her room featuring photographs of nude women on them, so I actually can’t, lol. So here’s that rad Bull Nakano fanart again!
And now it’s two remaining Legendary Goddess VHS reviews before I’m finally done with all the Joshi I could find from 1993! A “Year In Review” article will be up this Friday.
LEGENDARY GODDESS VII- BULL NAKANO:
* We get our “LG” tape release for Bull Nakano at last! And immediately it’s bizarre, as a denim-clad Bull, with normal hair and no flashy facepaint, walks gingerly through a ratty old shipyard while 1980s-sounding screeching guitars play. Bizarrely, her dour expression and outfit make her look older here than she does today. And then she starts breathing heavily and just goes mental on a chain link fence while her jacket is now made of leather, and says fuck across the back- God I love joshi.
Then she goes walking down some of the grimy bar-filled streets in Japan (that actually reminds me more of the real Japan than the shiny yachts & harbors they normally go on in these), shows that her jacket has a photo that is DECIDEDLY not safe for work on it (a topless woman pantomiming fingerbanging herself- well now I can’t put the YouTube video in the review, then!), then puts on a Chicago Bulls jacket, and prepares for her first match. Tremendous.

So this is one of Impact Wrestling’s Impact Plus specials and for once, the card actually looks pretty good. In addition to that, it seems like some things actually took place on the show and that makes it worth a watch. I won’t be doing these regularly but once in awhile can’t hurt. The company putting the whole thing up for free on YouTube helps too. Let’s get to it.
A recap of Cactus Jack’s heel turn at Wrestlepalooza ’95 airs.
