The first part of History of the Intercontinental Title was awesome. Patterson defending against DeNucci (eh), the complete Patera title win over Patterson (awesome), and Morales defending against Slaughter (short but good). Part 2 on 8/15 is supposed to cover the Morales-Muraco feud. JRs pick last month was HBK vs. Vince from Mania and thus far has been hit or miss. Wrestling Hot Beds has great potential. North Carolina this month, so it's the Hardys' first title win from 1999, Flair-Rock from 2002, Helms-Matt Hardy from No Mercy 2006 (the best of this show), and Flair-Vader from Starrcade 93. Hopefully the selection improves when this summer skin shit stops.

There was Doug Furnas and Phil Lafon, but only the smarks cared about them despite the matches between them being consistently awesome.

I had predicted RVD would hit the frog splash on Angle and Austin would sneak in for the pin while RVD was selling his ribs. In fact, to this day that's how I would have booked that finish, leading to the RVD-Austin blowoff at Survivor Series.

As many of you will recall, about two years I began writing a column on the main site about the fictional promotion of Old School Wrestling. It was wrestling in a timeless vacuum, as wrestlers of every era faced each other in arenas from every era. It met with great reviews, but unfortunately circumstances prevented me from getting very far. So we're trying again. I'll be running the "promotion" exclusively at oswrestling.blogspot.com, and will be updating daily at first, and at least two or three days a week following that. Follow the action as it happens and make sure to leave feedback.

I sent one in as well. How does a promo show go in 15 hours late?

They Live Which brought us... CRIPPLE FIGHT!

This is the song that never ends It just goes on and on my friends Some people started singing it not knowing what it was But they'll continue singing it forever just because...

However you also know that wrestling ability must always take priority. Most similar booker: Jim Cornette Most similar promotion: ROH 2005 Got any feedback on the poll?

How does a royal rumble during a baseball game work? Someone new comes in every third pitch?

My ex and I just had an argument. She says the salad fork goes on the left. I say it goes on the right. So here's my question: Now that Brady Quinn is under contract, will the Browns make the playoffs?

I've been to shows so bad the promotion names only bothered to have two initials. I swear the local promotion was called "Championship Wrestling" for four years.

I should have the live show but would have to double check to see if I taped the second week or not. I'll check.

Anybody else who wants to issue a World Title challenge for Genesis PM me before 10am Eastern Tuesday for a mass promo.

hook me up

I'll believe Cena's not in a title match when I see it. With the millions of people that watch wrestling, odds are at least one person will want to see it.

WCCW moves into 1983? So they're skipping the Flair-Kerry cage match?

Maybe he just did a welfare check on Marcus Cor Von.

He also defended against Bradshaw at No Way Out

Still no GAB 1990, which I haven't seen in full since it aired, and now I've had to move to a Time Warner area so no more 24/7.

Which Rumble? Had to be 1998 during the NWA angle, but I don't remember them feuding at the time either

Tell Dakota Fanning to fuck Dakota Fanning.

Apologies for my no-show, but an ugly breakup with the ex-fiance has had me in the process of moving most of the week.

And I just lost my love for Victoria with that bit right there.

Re: The Triple X reunion: Am I the only one who remembers AMW beating Daniels and Skipper in the Losers Can Never Team Again Cage Match in 2004? Considering the feud went nearly two years, I hope someone in charge remembers that.
