Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 669

Sold 1.13 million copies.

 

*The photo used in 20 years when an elder Kenny Omega is feuding with Drew's kid and about to put him over*

 

The 4 way match for the All-Atlantic belt is gonna be nuts. Miro and Ishii? Holy shit indeed. Pac v Malakai (all but a done deal imo) in that same match will slap.

 

Posting an AMAZING link/resource as idk how many people know this exists.

A user on reddit went through every Wrestling Observer Newsletter between 1991 and 2001 and condensed them into highlights.

If you've never read an actual newsletter, about 2/3rds of it is usually boring dribble. Dave goes insanely in-depth about TV ratings and financials/buy-rates which I guess there are certain people who like reading that? Not me.

Anyways, this guy breaks down every newsletter for a decade and it's seriously god's work he is doing. It is so fun reading through the years, really interesting too.

 

That dude is a treasure. I remember when he first started those. Really really cool stuff

 

WWF The Music Vol 4…I still have my copy and listened to it every day when I was a kid

 

That ministry music was creepy af from what I remember.

 

Jordan Devlin is now JD McDonagh

 

Bad

 

I could have articulated that better, that’s a dumb name

 

Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi somehow showing up at Forbidden Door as the Golden Lovers would absolutely send me into the stratosphere. They don’t even need to do anything. Just appear.

 

I know its super unlikely cause the timetables are pretty off in terms of injury return... but can you imagine if they show up and confront FTR after they win?

 

this is even funnier

 

Used that CD all the time in my fig fed.

 

Yano arrives!

 

Definitely suggest checking this match out.

 

I'm expecting a fun show tonight

 

Oh man I want ice cream

 

The bad friday rating? Bigger issue is that last week dropped like 200k and nearly back to Wednesday Night Wars levels...Rampage being bad on a holiday weekend is whatever, but having your build to a PPV fall off is much worse.

 

The work from AEW managers is top tier
