Scott, did you happen to notice that they finally added the complete run of Prime Time to the Network? If by “complete” you mean “eight random-ass episodes spanning three years” then yeah, it’s hella complete.  They can’t even help but do bait and switch on their own goddamn Network, promising 10 episodes and delivering 8, ...

Howdy Blog O’Doomers! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Things are getting pretty hairy out there with this virus so please be careful. RAW is somewhat of a stacked show tonight. McIntyre vs. Orton in a WWE title rematch and New Day vs. Hurt Business for the tag titles. I think there’s a six-man ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! https://ift.tt/2H8dxVX via IFTTT

It’s time for another bunch of Legendary Goddess VHS reviews! Three at a time in this one, since it’s a lot of retread material, but DAMN some of it’s great footage. LEGENDARY GODDESS IV- AKIRA HOKUTO: * This one starts with some hilariously overwrought footage of Hokuto stalking around a temple wearing her traditional Noh ...

Joey Styles says that tonight’s footage will come Wrestlepalooza ’95, which took place at the ECW Arena on August 5.  He reviews some of the events that transpired there, including the Sandman caning Mikey Whipwreck until Woman told him to stop because she did not want the Sandman to forfeit the ECW Championship.  The Sandman ...

Writing this on the weekend and posting during the week to see if it makes a difference with views. I tried a few different shoots to review but it just wasn’t working, so I’ve gone for this one which is ostensibly Jim interviewing JJ. JJ had written his book Wrestlers Are Like Seagulls around this ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! https://ift.tt/38P8zc2 via IFTTT

In terms of big star plus three or four scrubs? I'd go with The Darkside in 1995. Taker was over bigtime as usual. HOG, Fatu and Savio were getting ZERO reactions with their shticks and showcases in the beginning and then throughout the match. At least one of them got over with a drastic gimmick ...

Hi Scott Hope you're well.  A question about a time-honored tradition: who do you think did the best job on their way out of a promotion, be it when going to another company or retiring?  Could be in how they put the other guy over, put on a fantastic match, or both.  My vote goes ...

Other than Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan and maybe Tajiri, it seems cruiserweights who excel elsewhere around the world flop big time in WWE. Ultimo Dragon, Mistico, Kushida, Ricochet, Kidman, Low Ki, etc. were considered among the best in the business while in other promotions but bombed in WWE. Is it failure to adapt to “WWE ...

Hey Scott. Two months ago I checked out NJPW for the first time (being a rasslin’ fan for nearly 30 years now). I’m not going to say it’s 100% perfect, but I’m certainly a fan. I do have some questions about their history. 1. I’ve heard commentators mention Wrestlemanias, ECW, and even a UFC card ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! https://ift.tt/36V3cpl via IFTTT

The SmarK Rant for Saturday Night’s Main Event #10 – 03.14.87 (Originally written March 2019) What can I say? I was feeling nostalgic for this era after watching Prime Time Wrestling the other day, and my original rant on this show is pretty crappy. So it’s time to back and start redoing these classic shows, ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! https://ift.tt/38LZfFL via IFTTT

Howdy! If I had to pick a favorite tournament from the pro wrestling world each year, it probably wouldn’t be the G-1 Climax; it would indeed be the Best of Super Juniors. My love for this event dates back to my tape trading days, when I got addicted to Juniors puro, especially Liger, Sasuke, and ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! https://ift.tt/3pybWdn via IFTTT

Impact Wrestling Date: November 10, 2020 Location: Skyway Studios, Nashville, Tennessee Commentators: Josh Matthews, Madison Rayne We’re on the way to Turning Point, which is actually looking like a pretty stacked card for an Impact Plus special. That means we still have a long way to Hard To Kill though and they are going to ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! https://ift.tt/3nsaojk via IFTTT

Tonight, New England’s season is on the line as the Patriots (+6.5) host the Ravens. But if you don’t want to watch that, there’s always a brand new BOTCHAMANIA!

Scott, I know that hindsight is 2020 and all, but what big money match do you recall being totally in the dark about the winner at the time, but in retrospect, it seems so obvious as to who was going over? I would say Hogan vs. Warrior. I remember the much younger version of me could’ve seen ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! https://ift.tt/3pvL8KC via IFTTT

I believe WWE has a way better Sting/Luger dynamic about to happen when Jimmy Uso eventually returns. Jimmy wants nothing to do with Roman but he's bound to his brother. They can win the tag straps at the Rumble and then Jimmy can't take it anymore and fights against his blood leading up to a ... Read more from Scotts Blog of Doom! https://ift.tt/2IDqM1z via IFTTT

Hello You! I had a dig around in my tape collection recently and found this DVD that a friend burnt off for me probably 15 years ago now.

“We are wild and young” and unemployed as tonight, someone gets voted off. It’s been several weeks of nothing but we’re finally here and thankfully Daniel Bryan gets a positive reaction during the Rookie Roll Call.
