    I recently rewatched Corny's Raw debut. Bobby the Brain made Cornette an instant top guy the way he was so excited & hyped him up calling Jim the greatest manager alive! It made Cornette legitimate in the eyes of the WWF fans who may have never seen him..

    Tammy was right after 20+ years no one said Poor Sunny. Where could she go after Shawn alleged publicly she was screwing her way up the ladder? WWF could’ve used her to do interviews, do funny skits and cut promos but they wanted to push Sable. Her career died when she left WWF and she probably could’ve done tv, not as a main star but a recurring role.

    Sunrise /Sunset times are dependent on your latitude (distance from equator) and longitude (position east /west within a given time zone) as well as time of year....the further north you are the more extreme your seasonal variation. Hence perpetual day and perpetual night at the extreme northern and southern latitudes.

    So does the neilsen ratings count the views of raw and smackdown on streaming platforms like peacock? Cause if not, then they may have to count those views too! Because the streaming platforms have taken over actual cable. That might be a big reason viewership has gone down further. I'm not sure anyone has thought about that fact.

    The Drive Thru will not be televised.
    A Jim's Castle playset, made up like Disney stuff, baby deer is an extra $50 sold in a seperate blister.
    The "Elite" stuff and his seemingly want to abuse on women... WTF, Russo lol
    Tony Khan is definitely the lovechild of Russo and someone/thing, there's another weeks worth of ideas for AEW next week.
    But equality means it'll be all the women abusing the men. 😛
    Its funny, while Australia is hot shot to shit for various reasons (that might be a good topic for Jim and Brian to go into by the by, depending on their knowledge. Cricket on TV kod it back in the day etc) the micro of it reminds me of the territories more than an indy scene... It's not, but a lot of the thing Jim talks about missing from wrestling; heels, faces, crowds of families and old people... somehow those things remain (or did last time I checked).
    Used to film shows in Mt Gambier, South Australia, there was an elderly couple who'd come to the exhibitions talking about how they use to watch the classics back in the day.
    Its the little things, heartwarming.
    Wrestling!

    This modern mindset that certain subsets of society are not allowed to be ridiculed or criticized because they are part of some minority is such fucking bullshit.
