went to an indie in amsterdam in 2017. minutes into his match paul got run into the ring post right beside me. took this pic thinking he’d bladed but it very quickly became a pool of blood and he had to get taken out. he was the hi-light of the show for the very brief time he was there.

Here's a story I wrote about my favorite fight.
George Foreman was part of many moments like this, events that anyone who witnessed will never forget.
Grateful to have lived a life that brought some of my heroes into my personal orbit.

lol, Homicide throws Joe a fork 🤼
Incidentally, along with Matt Tremont and Minoru Suzuki, Homicide is one of only 3 wrestlers who Abdullah the Butcher officially gave his permission for them to use the fork gimmick.

Some matches feel like good versus evil. Some feel like big-time prizefights. This one felt like a championship-deciding playoff game to me. 🤼♂️

The way Animal did the shoulderblock is one of the coolest looking variations of a simple move.

NJPW ran a fan appreciation event in April 88 and Inoki faced off against Masakatsu Funaki and then Keiichi Yamada (Liger). Yamada called Funaki back in to help out and got a very rare pin on Inoki. And then ran like hell as Inoki chased him.

new here but followed willow since i can remember on twitter. her writing has always been incredible but her writing on lynch is up there with anyone who has ever written about his work. will subscribe to her patreon for this but know i’ll stay because I’ve read her work before and it’s that good.
Considering that I write about David Lynch every month on my patreon, I believe there is probably an expectation for me to write an obituary. I'll be saving what I want to say about him in the next essay in my ongoing TWIN PEAKS series, which will cover the eighth episode of The Return.

So, here’s a stack of fan-shot photos from WWF cards at Madison Square Garden, spanning 1978-1983.
I closed out the year scanning, and in most cases digitally restoring these photos. Many untelevised shows included here.
Some photos are better than others, but they’re all a piece of history!

Protip on 1987-early 88 NJPW Juniors matches. The ones that start with a sneak attack right at the bell are way better than the other ones. Here Hase is defending against Takada. Here's the sneak attack and then Takada's comeback which is one of the coolest things I've ever seen him do in this era.
