People don't talk enough about how over Rick Martel was in WCW! Sure, his 1998 run was short, but he definitely left a lasting impression. The crowd bought into him right away, and his matches proved he possessed rare technical brilliance even late in his career. A total legend who deserved a much bigger stage for longer.

Karate Fighter Bruce informs us that the Global offices (supposedly in Barcelona) have stripped Eddie Gilbert of his TV title.

Good guy Vader in 1995 WCW at the birth of Nitro would have been good TV.

Reconstructing the "Gilbert '92" from blurry screen grabs. First, I found a belt that was a Hogan '86 design, but with the side plates matching the TV belt. From there, I cut and pasted the artifacts from the screen grabs over the image until I got as close as possible.

Marty Jannetty was clearly the "Jannetty" of the team.
12/14/92: IC champion Shawn Michaels and former partner Marty Jannetty have words regarding Sherri. Also, note the recently debuted Jerry Lawler sitting next to Bobby.

It took almost 11 months, but my Tanahashi #BigRubberGuys figure is finally here. @TheMattCardona, this is an awesome figure.

Recently I discovered Chris Colt. Friends with Janis Joplin, taught Randy Savage his finisher, took LSD in a cage match and started a riot, one of the actual first people to use entrance music,and basically the first guy to embrace face paint Glad I discovered him
