  1. One of my personal favorites is Dr. Terror's House of Horrors it came out in 1965. It is an anthology horror movie and might be tough to find. They used to show it on AMC (In the States) every year back in the 90's but I cannot recall the last time I saw it. It has an awesome cast as well. Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Michael Gough (Who played the Toymaker on Dr. Who and later Alfred in Tim Burton's Batman movies), Donald Sutherland, and Roy Castle. I am usually not all that fond of anthology movies, but this actually works. Also, if you are looking for good old horror movies you cannot go wrong with any of the Hammer horror movies. Sure they probably look dated by today's standards but they are still very good. 1962's Carnival of Souls is pretty good. The only reason why it came to my mind is that I am looking at the DVD for it right now. This next one might be another that might be kind of bland by today's standards but it scared the crap out of me when I was a little kid. Ghost Story from 1981. Another movie with a good cast Fred Astaire, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and John Houseman star in it. Those are some older horror movies that you might not have gotten a chance to see.
  2. I enjoyed it as well but the artificial crowd noise sort of took me out of it. It is like hearing a laugh track on a sitcom, it is just annoying. Speaking of annoying, I am a little annoyed over the fact that I am going to miss out on the big show because I don't get Vice. That main event should be really good.
  3. A little late to comment on this but Bron Breakker sounds like one of the horrible names the AI comes up with in TEW2020.
  4. I tend to only get to watch the last half hour of the show every week (I saw the last hour this week) and I have to say they sure love having sub-par main event matches. This week was a squash, which is understandable because Mox and Eddie are the stars and they should not be selling too much to the team they were facing. The main event matches for the last two shows were far too short, half the time is spent on Jon Moxley wandering through the crowd aimlessly. Also, something that I felt was weird is them hyping MJF vs. Pillman as if this is something new. To AEW it is, but to me...well I can't tell you how many times I saw these two fight each other in MLW. It seemed every week there was some form of Dynasty taking on Davey Boy Smith Jr., Brian Pillman Jr., and Teddy Hart. It got to the point where it became MLW's version of John Cena vs. Randy Orton. What felt weird to me is that AEW seems to recognize stuff that happened outside of their promotion but they are hyping this as being their first-ever match. That being said, I hope they have enough time to shine and have a chance to put on a good match. I like both guys and always want to see them do good. I thought the Darby Allin vs. Shawn Spears match was a good television match. Though I have to say I am not overly fond of Sting getting into the ring again next week even if he is protected in a tag team match. Sometimes people have to know when to stop, the last thing I would want to see happen to him is that he gets another serious injury. I felt like near the end of his run in TNA Sting was getting to the point where he was like Willie Mays playing for the Mets. Having not watched his WWE run or his previous match in AEW, I have no idea how he is now. Minoru Suzuki is not going to be a selling point to any casual fans. He's never had a major run in America like a Muta or Liger. They can hype him as much as they want but only the fans who like Japanese wrestling know who he is. Bryan Danielson's promo lacked something, I am not sure what, but there just does not seem to be any fire behind it. I mean it was not bad at all, but it was lacking something and I really cannot put my finger on what it was.
  5. That is interesting, I don't think I have ever run across that scandal before. Or if it did come up I just did not read it. The racist one I have gotten countless times. I am a little annoyed with my GAMMA save. I started a GAMMA save a few weeks ago because I have not played the game in over a year and some of the posts on here have gotten me hyped to play again. Anyway, every single one of the default champions lost their belts on their first defense. It bothers me because I tend to like long title runs but now I have six new champions and the Super Heavyweight has already changed again. This means that the division has had three champions in one year. I guess that is exciting but I find it annoying.
  6. If you have not done so already, you should check out the television version of What We Do In the Shadows. It is one of the best comedies on television right now. The new season comes back on September the second on FX.

  8. Wait a second, you cracked on me for playing a "kids game" in Among Us and you still play Pokemon games? People in glass houses and all of that... I got the XBOX Live (I think that is what it is called, too lazy to look it up.) at a dollar for three months. I have to say I am a little disappointed in what I got. They have all of these free games and I either own most of them (There is a good amount of 360 games on there which I own, I only own eleven games for the XBOX One), not interested in them (any first-person shooter I avoid like the plague) or once I do download and play them the game is just not good. I will say I have been somewhat enjoying Night Call. It is part Noir and part Taxicab Confessions. It is not a great game by any means but it is entertaining enough.
  9. This times a thousand. All the logos are great, but that OLLIE one is something special. My eyes were immediately drawn to it when I saw it on my screen. Great stuff there, keep up the good work.
  10. <p>I caught the last half hour of the show, because there was nothing else on. I noticed something interesting in the Miro interview. Either Tony Schiavone was feeding Miro lines or Miro's promo was scripted and Tony was reading an off-camera version of it in order to get his cue on what to do. </p><p> </p><p> If you watch Tony during that interview he is mouthing everything Miro is saying in the promo. It was so odd.</p>
  11. I really enjoyed the last show. I did not watch ROH during the feud with CZW, but I know most of the people involved and you have done a great job of getting across how important it is.
  12. Tag Team Opening Round Match #1 - Debbie Rose & Kate Lilly vs Candy Floss & Olivia Diamond I really want to pick Candy Floss because I love her render, but I don't think she'll win.

  13. I just want to say I really have been enjoying this diary thus far, keep up the good work. Trios Tournament Round 1 Matches: Match 1: Team CZW vs The ROH Wrestling Academy Comments: Any team with Necro Butcher on it has my vote. Match 2: Christopher Daniels, BJ Whitmer, and Adam Pearce vs Claudio Castagnoli, Jimmy Jacobs, and Jimmy Yang Comments: Match 3: The Embassy vs Generation Next Comments: Match 4: The Rottweilers vs The Briscoes and Tony Mamaluke Comments: Tony drags the Briscoes down. Semi-Finals: Team CZW vs Christopher Daniels, BJ Whitmer, and Adam Pearce Comments: I really hate picking against a team with Christopher Daniels in it, but it makes more sense for CZW to be in the finals. Generation Next vs The Rottweilers Comments: ROH World Championship Match Bryan Danielson © vs Colt Cabana Comments: ROH Trios Tournament Finals: Team CZW vs The Rottweilers Comments:

  15. Davey Boy Smith versus Matt Borne I am going to be the odd one out here. This is not the WWF Davey Boy, so I think his popularity is not that high yet. So I am going with Doink.

  19. What I found funny on the last show was when LA Park kept on switching out of the match with his son and on commentary they were saying the ref did not notice it. That made the ref look like a complete moron. How could you not know the difference between father and son? One is massively overweight and the other pretty thin. Way to make your ref look like a complete moron MLW.
  20. NEW Paths of Glory 2020 Location: New Haven, Connecticut Attendance: 66 Show Rating: 45 Winner: Sasquatch McGraw Time: 6:46 by Match Rating: 40 Winners: No Remorse Time: 12:02 Match Rating: 42 Winner: Devil Dog Time: 8:16 Match Rating: 27 Winners: None, both teams were counted-out Time: 13:06 Match Rating: 29 Winners: The LA Stars Time: 9:16 Match Rating: 44 Winner and still NEW Champion: Raphael Time: 26:33 Match Rating: 53 You might be right. I do miss writing on here when I am not doing it and when I am doing it I find myself asking, "Why am I doing this?" But I guess maybe this is a good avenue to escape for a little bit. Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you have decided to keep up your ECW dairy as well. For those who have not got a chance to check out Tobin's diary, you really should it is very well written and the graphics are awesome. Yeah, Mike really did not want to lose to the Jet Set, I had to make him look strong in the road agent notes. Oddly enough, his popularity did not go down and nobody else in the match had their popularity go up.
  21. Oddly enough even though I watched ECW on a regular basis, I cannot for the time of me remember Steve Corino there. I don't know if I blocked it from my memory or what. I mean I know he was really there, I just don't remember it. I hated Fonzie with a passion back then. I could picture him saying exactly what you had him say in the promo.
  22. I just wanted to say this diary is not dead. I just have had issues in my personal life that have led me to not want to write. I do have the next two shows after this one in the can as well but I did not want to burn through them. My goal for this diary is, at the very least, to make it through one game year. I feel like a bit of a jerk for not responding to the comments below but as I have said before, I try not to bump my diary to respond to comments because I have always viewed that as a cheap bump. I do not want this diary being bumped up to the top while other writers who have actual updates (Be it shows or behind the scenes write-ups) are bumped down. That is why I do not respond. That being said I had fully expected to respond to them before now but then I took my hiatus which was only supposed to be for a few days. But a few days turned into a week, which turned into a few weeks, and now here I am a month later. Thank you for the kind comments. Oh, and you should always fear the mullet because, by the looks of it, it seems like he has not washed his mullet in a few years. Maybe Mike isn't a meathead and he's more one of those people who lived in a hippy commune. Thank you. I might revisit that idea (aka steal) somewhere down the road. They are not going to be jobbers as they are too popular. I just probably should not have signed another two masked men. That's four on the roster right now and only one is a Lucha wrestler. I mean I wasn't around when Accentuate the Positive was a hit. I was born like thirty years later and the Christopher Cross stuff came out when I was a little kid. So while yes I am old, I am not really old. It is funny but I was thinking about it the other day and I remember watching Big Brother when I was in my early 20's and they had a couple of contestants in their early 30's on there. At the time I recall thinking, "Man 35 is so old." Well I passed thirty-five about seven years ago...so yeah I keep on telling myself age is just a number but I don't know if I believe it or not. Paths of Glory 2020 For the NEW Championship: Conner Threepwood vs. Raphael © The LA Stars vs. Manny Alvarez & Reggie Bishop Mullet Mike, Nate DeMarcus, BP SWOLL vs. The Jet Set Devil Dog vs. SJW Paulie Pelton & Jerry Pepper vs. No Remorse Onslaught vs. Sasquatch McGraw There is a non-finish on this show. So one match will end in a draw.

Take the middleweight title sitch. I can't say I was totally surprised to see Myron Reed lose it. That felt like it was coming for sure. But to give it to a guy just coming in the door like Lio Rush? And then for Rush to be rather inivisible since? Yeah. That is a way to go. Doesn't seem like a very good one but it is an option.<p> </p><p> Kind of like the idea behind the Gino Medina/Gringo Loco beef. Can't think of another time I've ever seen cultural appropriation used as the basis for a feud. And given the extra layer of Gino's familial connection to the term "Gringo Loco" it feels all the more organic. But to be doing this with Gino when the deal with Richard Holiday has yet to be properly resolved? Seems like this feud could have waited until after the Dynasty fallout had settled.</p><p> </p><p> And speaking of The Dynasty, what even are they anymore? MJF is long gone. Hammerstone has evolved beyond the group. Attempts to expand the ranks like Grogan and Gino Medina were failures. And Holiday seems to have gone soft. The guy can still be a bit shady as the Tim Donaghy hiring showed. But at the same time, every time the Dynastic Coffee merch promo comes on, he feels almost like a parody of his former self. It may be time to either end the Dynasty or reformulate it.</p><p> </p><p> Or Contra. That group really seems to be showing its age. It feels like Jacob Fatu is still champion primarily because MLW is so weak at the top these days. But beyond that, Gotch is often an afterthought. Mads Kruger hasn' really been that interesting. Daivari's alright but feels like he's trying to get in at the wrong end. Really feels like it's time for Contra to fall apart but there really isn't anyone that can kill it off.</p><p> </p><p> And I get why they resigned ACH. But did they really need to put him with the Von Erichs just because all three are from Texas? Having Ross and Marshall on my TV screen has been some serious wrestling comfort food for me. Loved their dad and uncles back in the day and had lost track of the male Von Erichs terribly before they arrived in MLW. But ACH? If there's one man in all of wrestling I'm burnt out on, that I would happily never see again, it's ACH. And that doesn't even have to do with the WWE stuff. Although that certainly didn't help. I was already getting bored of the guy before he left Ring of Honor. I certainly wouldn't say ACH is a poor talent. I understand how I could be in the minority. In a very distinct minority even. For some, his considerable athleticism would be enough. He just strikes me as a very boring personality. He's always projected himself the same when I've seen him. Never seems to grow or evolve or really offer more than the athletic prowess. Dude just can't seem to project himself in a way that isn't a broken record.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Lio was on the MTV reality show The Challenge and it was either the week he won the title or a week later he quit the show because he missed his family and the show was being taped in Iceland. Now I do not begrudge him for leaving the show, I just found the timing funny that he wins two championships but he quits a reality show.</p><p> </p><p> Those Dynastic Coffee merch promo's come across like bad comedy. The sort of stuff you would see on modern-day SNL. I agree that the Dynasty should probably be split. MJF was the glue that held it together and with him gone, they just don't seem to be important as a group or a duo, if you vill (Had to quote Dusty there).</p><p> </p><p> The booking of that Grogan guy was awful as well. He joins the group and is with them for like two or three weeks. Then he turns on them and then he disappears from the promotion. Only to be repurposed as Mads Kruger.</p><p> </p><p> Speaking of Mads, oh boy was that Bakalei Brawl pure and utter garbage. That was hands down one of the worst parking lot brawls I have ever watched. There was one in TNA a few months ago that rivaled it and I am blanking on who was in the TNA one. I think it was Rhino and someone else.</p>
