Theme song leads to pyro, which is a very simple thing that this show does which I always like for some reason. I like basic stuff like that I suppose.

I know it’s a morbid running joke on the blog at this point, but honest to god I left town on Thursday afternoon and was staying out on the farm without internet, only to return to discover that Luna Vachon had died.  Very sad, especially considering her mental problems and hard luck in recent years.  RIP.

Thought you and your readers might like this weekly (but more like monthly) column on popular blog Deadspin.com
http://deadspin.com/tag/deadwrestleroftheweek/
It's a really thoughtful look at each instance and the author seems to be fairly knowledgeable of the businesses.

 

It’s very sad that someone can actually do a blog about dead wrestlers and have enough material to last for a LONG time. 

Hi Scott, wrestling fan for about 30 years. I have read your blog for a while and I am trying my hand at reviews for a friend's website. I am not a play-by-play review. I try to keep them shorter but get the basic gist of the match/story. Would it be too much to ask for you to read one and give your opinion? Perhaps mention it on your blog if deemed worthy? The site iswww.mymusetellslies.com/marcelusive
Thank you!

 

Pretty good, it’s mostly on point.  I’d say it could use more actual opinions on stuff like the match quality, but definitely keep at it. 

Here’s another plug for the always fine MGK’s blog, this time with a comparison of great movies that are nothing like the original source material.

Not a great movie per se, but I’d also add Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, just because I’m so fond of the original Destroyer novels and they screwed it up so badly with the movie.

Longtime reader Adam Bonin chimes in with more on the continuing war of words between Linda McMahon and everyone else. 

Hey Scott, longtime fan from back in the day.
Was just wondering if you could plug my new website, Geeks4Film.com, and the
podcast along with it, Cinegasm.  Right now the site is under construction, but
has links to listen to the podcast in the meantime (you can also subscribe to
the podcast on iTunes).  Eventually, we plan on becoming a one-stop resource for
movie news, reviews, and interviews, with our own brand of geeky humor
throughout.  I know you love movies as much as we do, and we'd also love to have
you on as a guest for the podcast one week.  We run a weekly debate called the
"Nicolas Cage Match", which is always a good time.  Just let me know if you can
make it (Tuesdays at 10PM EST, on Skype), and you can plug your books, website,
whatever you want.
Thanks, Scott!

 

No problem.
