A mostly humorous look at professional wrestling on television from the mind of one Tom Tostanoski, your gleeful editor-in-chief.

In an interview between a man with a developmental disorder and Davy Boy Smith, one wouldn’t expect the Bulldog to be the less coherent one.
Drugs are bad, mkay?
Anonymous asked: Hi! Just wanted to wish you a great day.
Thank you, random stranger. You do the same! ;)
A fat guy and a gassed up stiff, neither of whom can move. Great booking, jerks. Was that a “Change the channel” match, Russo?
I’m working on a piece wherein I praise TNA for their great main event program, but crap like this makes the show painful.
I’m skipping Impact. Between being jobbed by a chicken place and this lame opening, no wrestling this week.
Just in time too. This RVD promo is terrible, and the crowd is dead.
Opening segment: Cena and Orton face off
This post is crazy long, so hit the jump if you want to keep reading!
Did anyone see No Surrender?
If so, was it as bad as the results make it out to be?
If not, is it at all worth watching? Or can I safely skip this one?
Thank you kindly. Raw notes tonight.
Easily my favorite part of the episode.
Pete Campbell, ladies and gentlemen.
The lone bitchface from last night’s episode - “The Summer Man”
1995: Jeff Hardy beats Scott Hall via countout.
If Hall wasn’t such a horrible drunk, Russo would have booked this. Twice.
I’m now watching a match from WCW in the same year. Jean-Paul Levesque vs Brian Armstrong.
You know them better as Triple-H and The Road Dog (Or BG James, if you’re a younger TNA fan).
I don’t seem to get as much interest in posts about old wrestling that I watch, outside of one guy on Facebook (hi Michael!), so I was curious about your tastes.
As newer fans, what happened back in 1993 likely has little meaning to you as a) You weren’t alive and b) the angles then have no bearing on the angles now and c) Most of those guys are dead (see my previous post) or retired.
So when you need a fix of “old” wrestling, what do you watch? The Attitude Era and the last decade? Stuff from the last few years? That awful Impact from last week?
Do you buy DVDs of indie shows or WWE PPVs? Do you have a Netflix queue full of old WWE releases? Do you keep weekly shows on your DVR for when you need a fix?
Do you not watch old wrestling at all and only keep up with the present shows and forgot about the angles unless reminded by future video packages?
Inquiring minds (well, my mind at least) want to know. This should give me the fuel I need to finally get my butt in gear to write my essay on wrestling fans, my brothers (and sisters (yay ladies!)) in arms.
Hit me up with replies or comments or smoke signals or whatever. You guys have my curiosity piqued.
