Got good news earlier today. For the past 2 years been doing video and commentary work for SWA,Southern Wrestling Association. Found out that the next show,August 12th,is a TV taping. SWA has a time slot on 2 FOX affiliates in the state.
So our footage from the August 12th show will be used on TV.
The hard part is going to change how I do commentary. Normally since most of the people watching my footage is either the local wrestlers and/or the fans that are at every show. So I am always making references to other feds and stuff.
The promoter messaged me earlier today "All I ask is no cussing and try to not make as many inside jokes. Unless they are about Koby's mom. Those make me laugh. Also could you maybe wear a wrestling shirt. "
I guess my normal whatever clean shirt is on top the pile and basketball shorts attire isn't good enough for TV. But good thing is I still get to wear my Lucha mask.
I'm excited. I got NJPW sub last month. Been catching up on matches. Introducing my daughter to the sport. And fired up for Wrestle Kingdom.
I am about to get the sub for NJPW myself. I am looking forward to seeing these Omega matches that Meltzer is losing is mind over and giving six stars to.
King Ricochet and the great tag team War Machine are going to the WWE.
The first time I ever really watched the King was Lucha Underground season 1. Ricochet's name kept popping up and I'd catch a match or spot of his at the time, but it was prince puma that turned me into a believer of our once and future King.
I have been listening to the two different Jim Cornette podcasts. One (The Drive Thru) is just wrestling Q&A and is very good. The other (The Experience) can go in any direction. Usually it includes a lot of political rants so mileage may vary depending on your politics.
I have also started watching Smokey Mountain Wrestling episodes. All of them are on youtube. I am 4 episodes in. Things are on a slow build but so far it is great old school southern wrestling. You can get through probably 3 full episodes in less time than one episode of Raw. There is also a podcast called Booking the Territories which is doing a review of each episode. They are about a year + into the 4 year run of the promotion.
It was great to see all of the old timers. DX looked O-L-D.
Steve Austin looked great and I'm not sure if Trish Stratus is human. Has she aged?
I love NJPW, but I thought the Balor Club/DX too sweet was fantastic.
I watched the Hulu version did I miss Mick Foley or the Rock?
One Picture chocked me up. It was of Eddie and Chyna; I don't know why it just hit me. That picture just made me miss a lot of the RAW stars from the past.
I miss Rick Rude, that joker was on RAW and Nitro in the same night (and that weeks episode of ECW). Rick was the best.
I watched the Hulu version did I miss Mick Foley or the Rock?
No. Foley reportedly thought it would be ridiculous for his character to return so soon after being fired. And The Rock probably had better things to do.
