Now I was someone who was glad to have <b>The Rock</b> back regardless even when we thought it would lead to <b>babyface The Rock</b> against <b>heel Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 in Philly</b>.<br /><br />That said, I never saw a scenario where The Rock would come in like this, work heel, and be around and as involved in <b>WWE TV</b> as he has been. We got a different Rock than we had in his previous returns, and so far it's absolutely cooking.<br /><br />I'm not a "we need more blood in wrestling" guy, but when used sparingly it can certainly have a positive impact on the product.<br /><br /><b>"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes</b> getting color last night was one of those times and it was a tremendous visual.<br /><br />Anyhow, The Rock has been rolling since that<b> Las Vegas presser</b>, and last night was the pinnacle to this point.<br /><br />I cannot wait to see the massive shenanigans involved in the tag match on <b>Night 1 </b>(<b>Cody/Seth Rollins v Rock/Roman</b>), and then especially the <b>Night 2 main event where Cody challenges Roman</b> for the <b>Undisputed WWE Universal Title</b>. It's going to be a hoot! No, it's going to be a hoot and a half (maximum number of hoots).<br /><br /><i>The Rock Brutalizing Cody Rhodes is the One Thing for WWE Monday Night Raw</i>.<br /><br />-------<br /><br /><i><b>UPDATE</b>: I'm a little jealous of my buddy <b>Smarkrage </b>as he was in the building for the CM Punk/Seth Rollins/Drew McIntyre segment as well as getting to see "The Final Boss" in person in 2024.

Mattel's WWE Elite Legends Territory 4-Pack</b> is the type of deep cut action figure that I can appreciate.<br /><br />You've got a 2-pack that that pays tribute to <b>Gorilla Monsoon</b> taking on<b> Muhammad Ali</b>, and then another of <b>WWE Champion "Superstar" Billy Graham</b> competing with <b>NWA World Champion Harley Race</b>.<br /><br />The <b>NWA-style Harley Race</b> is the biggest draw for me personally. I love the "King" Harley Race figure, but I'm glad they finally got to make him in this attire and most importantly with the facial hair. I believe in the past when <b>Jakks </b>did this look Harley opted for the clean-shaven look instead.<br /><br />Race is also what sold <b>Bryant</b> on this 4-pack, but another nice thing is the WWE Title that comes with Superstar.<br /><br />Ali is the least compelling for me in that I bought that <b><a href="https://creations.mattel.com/products/wwe-ultimate-edition-muhammad-ali-action-figure-set-hnv66">Ultimate Edition 2-pack</a></b> of him already. <br /><br />Monsoon is a neat deep cut that I probably wouldn't bother with if he weren't in a bundle so that's a good way to get that one out I think.<br /><br />There's some more shots below.

Right after <b>WWE 2K24</b> released I did an <a href="https://www.southatlantawrestling.com/2024/03/wwe-2k24-early-hands-on-review.html">Early Hands Review</a> of the game based on playing just a handful of matches.<br /><br />At this point, I've had enough time with the game that I felt it was time to drop a <b>2.0 review</b>. This one will not be as long as the original linked above as it's more of a companion piece/follow-up to that one.<br /><br />Nothing has changed with my takes in the previous piece, but I would like to add/reiterate the following...<br /><br />I'm playing on <b>PS5 </b>and the game looks fantastic. <br /><br />While I have complaints about how some of the models are sized (<b>Steamboat </b>and <b>Bruno </b>feel way too small, and <b>Jake The Snake</b> too big), the facial scans, etc. look tremendous. The same applies to some of the belts. <b>Big Gold</b>? More like Shmedium Gold!<div><br /></div><div>Overall though it is a sharp looking game.<br /><br />More importantly the game "feels" just right. The movement of the wrestlers, the impact of the moves, etc. is satisfying.<br /><br />As of a few days ago I finally got into <b>WWE Universe mode</b>.<br /><br />Now it's been a while since I've touched that mode so it's possible some of the features are only "new to me." With that said, I love the ability to be able to sort your roster into divisions where you can set who you want to be in the top title, secondary title, or tag title picture. <br /><br />Being able to customize your rankings is a nice feature as well.<br /><br />It feels like you have more power over every aspect of your Universe than you did when I last tinkered in that mode.<br /><br />Now I'm no hardcore gamer or anything like that, but this game is an absolute home run to me.<br /><br /><b>Ambulance Match </b>is a bit of a chore I felt, but I tried again and waited to use a Super Finisher instead of multiple finishers and that seemed to make it far less tedious.<br /><br />Last night I also figured out how to assign <b>Super Finishers</b> to the wrestlers I use that don't already have them. Go into <b>Create a Moveset</b>, and hit <b>R2 </b>to designate that finisher as a Super Finisher. <br /><br />That's going to be critical for you if you want to play <b>Ambulance</b> or Casket matches with talents that don't already have one set.<br /><br />I was quite worried about the reimagination of the series with <b>WWE 2K22</b>, but not only was that great from a gameplay and feel standpoint, they have continued to add features and improve on that foundation since.<br /><br />WWE 2K24 is a great next step in this series evolution, and I cannot wait to see what they have for us next.</div>FreebirdSTFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063483209918016307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352534290692857981.post-32347936332438583462024-03-18T08:56:00.002-04:002024-03-18T08:56:15.144-04:00It's ACTION Week - Madras Mayhem<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGsp0bbQr-ZLA4Kch-7ElU8o4WK0FDo3R6Yx8zPyowThvWdyBYDP9AuGFjw7H2jEWqGv3dPm9PmsDr5rxQDOTcGeiQ0zJeOjHS3yKQbo6xtDUQX9t0ITgk8M5bvNo_7DPileASHjI568wemt0yCaQMSyZrjDeFGoN2xefUaobUrGbRi40-24cewsc9ywE/s1600/GIljdh-W0AAEntD.jpg" style="display: none; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGsp0bbQr-ZLA4Kch-7ElU8o4WK0FDo3R6Yx8zPyowThvWdyBYDP9AuGFjw7H2jEWqGv3dPm9PmsDr5rxQDOTcGeiQ0zJeOjHS3yKQbo6xtDUQX9t0ITgk8M5bvNo_7DPileASHjI568wemt0yCaQMSyZrjDeFGoN2xefUaobUrGbRi40-24cewsc9ywE/s1600/GIljdh-W0AAEntD.jpg"/></a></div>

Another <b>ACTION Week</b> is upon us as <b><a href="http://www.action-wrestling.com">ACTION Wrestling</a></b> returns to <b>Madras Middle School</b> for <b>Madras Mayhem</b> this Friday night! <div><br /></div><div>This show will benefit <b>Madras Middle Athletics</b>, and we are proud to be a sponsor of it!<br /><br />Let's take a look at the matches announced to this point...<br /><br /><b>Team Manders (1 Called Manders, hometown hero Bobby Flaco, and rising star Rico Gonzalez)</b> will take on <b>The Good Hand (Suge D, Kevin Ryan, and ACTION Champion Alex Kane)</b> in <b>six-man tag action</b>. <br /><br />This match promises to get an already fired up crowd worked into a frenzy. I cannot wait to see these six men throw down at this show.<br /><br /><b>SAW DC favorite Adam Priest (Roll Tide, BABY!)</b> takes on <b>QT Marshall </b>who you should recognize from his stint in <b>All Elite Wrestling</b>.<br /><br />QT has gotten himself in tremendous shape, and was a hit with the ACTION crowd when he came through before AEW. <b>"Any Style" Adam Priest</b> is up for any challenge, and this one could be a hot one, folks.<br /><br /><b>The Skulk</b> will assuredly have the crowd going as they promise/threaten to date the crowd's moms, etc., and <b>Top Team</b> is looking to continue climbing the ranks.<br /><br /><b>Devlyn Macabre </b>will take on <b>Kaia McKenna</b>. Kaia was wildly popular with the Arnall Middle crowd, and Devlyn is a frequent feature on ACTION shows. She has a contempt for the crowd, and they feel the same. That sets up for a good time. She also called Cooper "a little simp boy" which amused my daughter to no end.<br /><br /><b>"Sensei" Erron Wade </b>will bring his martial arts inspired style to take on the debuting <b>ATM</b>. I know nothing about ATM so excited to see what he's all about.<br /><br /><b>Kasey Owens</b>, who is an associate of The Good Hand, will take on the very popular <b>Cody Fluffman</b>. Fluffman's shtick has to be seen to be believed, but has connected with the live crowds in ACTION Wrestling.<br /><br />The <b>new look Warhorse</b> returns to ACTION to take on a young up and comer in <b>Jameson Shook</b>.<br /><br />The <b>Madras Middle crowd</b> from last year's "<b>It's Cool</b>" may be the loudest ACTION crowd I have ever heard. I've heard several fans mention that they are excited to return after last year which is really cool. <br /><br />We're not talking about the ACTION faithful who will turn up all over Georgia and Tennessee to support indie wrestling either, I'm talking about folks who are excited to support their school and have a great time at the wrestling once a year or whatever.<br /><br />That kind of crowd can be a lot of fun and they brought a ridiculous energy to the last show there in the very best way.<br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="393.75" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTV8FgYykXi3GaU6cWNoSADYbdUt00-pRqMTlJmu4tuRGMLGVTcTLEmscxmfkUTXS9um-ZcWy7fDJqI/embed?start=true&loop=true&delayms=3000" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="700"></iframe></center><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>ACTION Wrestling Madras Mayhem</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Madras Middle School</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>240 Edgeworth Road, Newnan, GA 30263</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Doors 6:00 PM / Bell 7:00 PM</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Tickets: <a href="http://www.action-wrestling.com">ACTION-Wrestling.com</a></i></div></div>FreebirdSTFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063483209918016307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352534290692857981.post-89506172079410234282024-03-15T09:05:00.002-04:002024-03-15T09:05:40.523-04:00PowerTown Wrestling Remco AllStars Series 1 Packaging<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl51glaVf4fZBiBjlidtq_WQ7JHmzvXUMtk05xIegfoo1YK9ppVejxm9XAx8jOOv6WrJJS0ja1p_MSK33qcqbOLsCamsNIeNmgnBbQA3mL4hyphenhyphenSqvyKdkWzRgq8WsREvNtkcBxXqBFJleHLP-mvnl7eix7BY0AF4ErOJsdnnzl6wJlyvS64Ux3NAVVUWrs/s1600/remcopackaging.png" style="display: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl51glaVf4fZBiBjlidtq_WQ7JHmzvXUMtk05xIegfoo1YK9ppVejxm9XAx8jOOv6WrJJS0ja1p_MSK33qcqbOLsCamsNIeNmgnBbQA3mL4hyphenhyphenSqvyKdkWzRgq8WsREvNtkcBxXqBFJleHLP-mvnl7eix7BY0AF4ErOJsdnnzl6wJlyvS64Ux3NAVVUWrs/s1600/remcopackaging.png" /></a></div>

Let's get one thing (not One Thing) just one thing out of the way real quick here. I have zero issue with <b>Sami Zayn</b> getting a high profile match for <b>Gunther's Intercontinental Championship </b>at <b>WrestleMania 40 </b>in <b>Philly</b>.<br /><br />That said, I was rooting for <b>Chad Gable</b> to take home the W last night. I'm bummed not so much because he lost, but how he lost (and you can <a href="https://youtu.be/qUn23R_Bi98?t=1102">start his part of the Gauntlet Match at this link</a> by the way if you missed it).<br /><br />That man entered the gauntlet match dead last, and lost to a badly beaten and wounded Sami Zayn?<br /><br />Don't know about that, chief.<br /><br />The optics of it just made Gable look like an absolute <b>GEEK</b>.<br /><br /><b>Bryant </b>even noted that it was kind of funny how Gable's incredible vignette/promo talked about him running the gauntlet to win and he not only came in dead last against a heavily wounded opponent, he lost anyhow.<br /><br />There is something Bryant picked up on immediately and I heard my friends mention as well in that it looked like Gable's shoulders may not have been down on the pinfall. I don't know that I have much interest in going down that road, but it's worth noting.<br /><br />I'd like to believe in current WWE all this means there's more going on here with him. Since I've never been burned by this before I'm choosing to let it play out.<br /><br />In that vein, here's a <b>WWE Digital Exclusive</b> where Gable is talking about the loss with<b> Cathy Kelley</b>. <br /><br /><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">EXCLUSIVE: Now that <a href="https://twitter.com/SamiZayn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SamiZayn</a> will be the one to challenge <a href="https://twitter.com/Gunther_AUT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Gunther_AUT</a> for the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ICTitle?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ICTitle</a> at <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WrestleMania?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WrestleMania</a>, what is going through the mind of <a href="https://twitter.com/WWEGable?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WWEGable</a>? <a href="https://t.co/0EYas4Gjd0">pic.twitter.com/0EYas4Gjd0</a></p>— WWE (@WWE) <a href="https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1767410640841220357?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 12, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></center><br /><br />There is one last thing about it that I should touch on, and that's the idea that either they didn't want to have Gable lose at Mania OR they don't want to end Gunther's IC Title reign there.<br /><br />Both are fair points, but if that was the case I'd have excluded Chad from this match altogether. I just cannot get past the visual of him losing to an exhausted Sami Zayn at this point. Like I said before though, I'll let it play out.<br /><br /><i>Chad Gable losing the Gauntlet Match to Sami Zayn is the One Thing for WWE Monday Night Raw.</i>FreebirdSTFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063483209918016307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352534290692857981.post-19934705198696866982024-03-08T16:09:00.002-05:002024-03-08T16:09:46.311-05:00New On WCW Worldwide: Lex Luger Reacts To His Greatest Moments

<br /><br />
Here's a running list of the <b><a href="https://www.wwe.com/shows/wwe-hall-of-fame">WWE Hall of Fame</a></b> announcements for <b>2024/WrestleMania 40 </b>in <b>Philadelphia, Pennsylvania</b>.<br /><br />At last update the following have been announced for this year's Hall of Fame class...<br /><br /><b>Paul Heyman, Bull Nakano, </b><b>US Express (Barry Windham & Mike Rotunda), Muhammad Ali, </b>and <b>Thunderbolt Patterson</b>.<br /><br />As a reminder, I love the WWE Hall of Fame because it's some nice sizzle for <b>Mania Weekend</b>. <br /><br />More importantly in a business that chews up and spits out it's talent, I like that these folks get acknowledged in this way in front of a huge crowd at the ceremony and Mania itself.<br /><br />I do not care one iota how "credible" it is although I am fixing to use the word "deserving" anyway.<br /><br />As for this year's inductees I will say that <b>Heyman </b>is more than deserving based on his managerial career alone before you account for his ECW involvement and that promotion's significance to This Business.<br /><br />His <b>Dangerous Alliance</b> run, and his current one as part of <b>Roman Reigns' Bloodline</b> have been GOLD.<br /><br /><b>Bull Nakano</b> is obviously a Japanese wrestling legend, and a women's wrestling legend. Very cool when folks like this get this treatment from WWE.<br /><br /><b>The US Express</b> is interesting because both guys are very talented, but are both far more well known for their involvement with other acts such as <b>The IV Horsemen (Windham)</b>, and <b>Money Inc., </b>and <b>The Varsity Club (Rotunda)</b>. They are probably most well known in our circles as having used <b>Hulk Hogan's</b> iconic <b>Real American</b> theme before <b>The Hulkster </b>himself.<br /><br />My assumption is this is happening in part because I think they'll induct the <b>late Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda)</b> this year as <b>Mike </b>is his father, and <b>Barry </b>his uncle. Barry's father was wrestling legend <b>Blackjack Mulligan</b> who is Bray's grandfather.<br /><br /><b>Muhammad Ali's</b> addition is nice as he was a special guest referee at WrestleMania 1, and had tangled with <b>Gorilla Monsoon</b> before that. He's also a guy whose style was influential on professional wrestling, but was also influenced by professional wrestling. It's kind of circular in that regard. <br /><br /><b>Thunderbolt Patterson</b> has been announced and he's a guy I know far more on reputation than anything else. He is the partner Ole Anderson turns on in order to team up with Arn Anderson. He's excellent in that trying to convince his friend to not leave him as is Ole in the sinister way he threatens Bolt. I know Bolt was a much beloved figure by the crowd in Georgia, I just was a bit too young to see much of his in-ring career.<br /><br />Since I have little to add about him, here's <b>Triple H's</b> announcement: "<i>He was a champion in the ring, and championed the health and well-being of his peers outside of it. Thunderbolt Patterson’s influence is still felt today, and will receive the recognition it deserves when he joins the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2024.</i>"<br /><br />------<br /><br /><b><i>I will continue to add on to this post as more names are announced.</i><br /></b><br />

I've gotten to play something like 10 - 12 <b>Exhibition matches in WWE 2K24</b> since it dropped at <b>12:01 AM on Tuesday morning</b>.<br /><br />So far, I'm really pleased with how the game feels. The motion and impact feels "right." To me it's also a pretty significant graphical upgrade on a game that already looked good.<br /><br />They've added some cool new stuff like being able to <b>YEET </b>(shout out <b>Jey Uso</b>) a weapon at a rival.<br /><br />The roster has some nice additions such as <b>"Ravishing" Rick Rude, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, and "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes</b> as all three return to the series finally.<br /><br />Dusty even has a cooler look than you'd think because they did not give him his WWE Polka Dots look like usual. It's his robe and hat entrance from earlier in his career, and that was a nice touch.<br /><br />Another nice touch is getting alternate versions of characters such as <b>Rhea Ripley, Randy Orton, </b>and <b>Roman Reigns</b>, and many others.<br /><br />For example you can play as <b>"Tribal Chief" Roman </b>or <b>"Big Dog" Roman</b> without going to <b>Community Creations</b> or creating the 2015 version of Roman yourself. Comes complete with theme music and the whole deal.<br /><br />I do have a couple of complaints, but they are minor.<br /><br />I know they want to have heights and stature be true to life, but Jake "The Snake" Roberts looks way too tall and broad in the game, and <b>Bruno Sammartino</b> and <b>Steamboat </b>both look too small.<br /><br />I think they need to level those out a bit because it really is distracting how little Steamer looks next to Jake.<br /><br />The <b>Ambulance Match</b> is a fun gimmick, but getting the second door to shut got to the point where I just gave up and let the other guy win. If you're better at button mashing than I am it may not matter, but for me it just wasn't worth it anymore.<br /><br />There was one other thing and that's the <b>Trading Blows mini-game</b>. I may need to give it more time, but Bryant and I decided to disable it. I just do not care for how it feels in part because you have to take your eyes off the wrestlers and where's the fun in that?<br /><br />Without delving into <b>WWE Universe Mode</b>, I'm ready to say that early returns are that this is another solid step in the right direction since the <b>WWE 2K22 </b>reimagining of the series.<br /><br />We'll have more on this as we get more time with it, but these are my early thoughts on it for now.FreebirdSTFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063483209918016307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352534290692857981.post-42793937354151213572024-03-04T10:44:00.004-05:002024-03-04T12:19:31.929-05:00PowerTown Wrestling Remco AllStars Series 1: Bobo & Bock With Belts<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdPSWVJKAm9xueK2t7zUgJvSzlackNcZ4rWOvHL5_fAAHAKGgZOWME8LTi8d4g53IXibSlk4wvzAis1hXDIntte3X9bJ0mEMtMuqzYL1f4kH2U8YzyO05jmJa0IbWySnDdNWJAa5F_7LjkCLufx5_6RsHp66HR2jxKa-F29Zysj64roW8ZJlF5ZXgiJZc/s1600/Bobo_Bock_Belts.jpg" style="display: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdPSWVJKAm9xueK2t7zUgJvSzlackNcZ4rWOvHL5_fAAHAKGgZOWME8LTi8d4g53IXibSlk4wvzAis1hXDIntte3X9bJ0mEMtMuqzYL1f4kH2U8YzyO05jmJa0IbWySnDdNWJAa5F_7LjkCLufx5_6RsHp66HR2jxKa-F29Zysj64roW8ZJlF5ZXgiJZc/s1600/Bobo_Bock_Belts.jpg" /></a></div>

<br /><br />Typically I'd like to space posts like this out a bit, but unfortunately I'm not in charge of when <b><a href="https://powertownwrestling.com/">PowerTown Wrestling</a></b> releases information about their figures.<br /><br />Anyhow, we have some more details about the<b> Bobo Brazil </b>and <b>Nick Bockwinkel</b> <b>Remco AllStar Series figures</b>. We saw the jackets already, but now we get to see the belts.<br /><br /><b>Bryant and I</b> have two different opinions about this. I think they look great on the <b>Remco </b>figures. Bryant was hoping they'd go with something that could also be used on the Ultras line. I'm not sure if that would have worked as well or even if it could have honestly, but I get his point.<div><br />I think this style works with the cartoony style of the Remco figs though.<br /><br />The belts, like the jackets, are a nice touch that really adds something to the fig.<br /><br />I'm going to come back with a look at the <b>Magnum TA v Tully Blanchard "I Quit Match" two-pack</b> really soon. Also we have gotten a look at the shirt that comes with <b>Tito Santana </b>as well so look for that in the coming days right here for my take on all this or hit PowerTown's socials right now to see what they've shared.<br /><br />I'm real fired up about PowerTown in that they have exceeded my expectations, and I am ALL IN on both their Ultras and Remco AllStars lines!<br /><br />

I learned something today which is <b>February 29th</b> is <b>Superman's</b> birthday. I don't mean it's the anniversary of anything related to the character or comic by the way. What I mean is that the character's birthday in the comics is February 29th.<br /><br />Apparently this momentous occasion caused <b>James Gunn</b> to reveal the <b>Superman logo</b> for <b>Superman Legacy</b>. <br /><br />It also led him to reveal that the name of the movie is now <b>SUPERMAN</b>. So far as I can tell the title is meant to be capitalized.<br /><br />It is scheduled to be released on <b>July 11, 2025</b> and I will be there opening day if I can help it. <b>Superman/Clark Kent</b> is one of my favorite pop culture characters, and I was there day one for M<b>an Of Steel (2013)</b>.<div><br /></div><div>Cannot wait to see this as I trust Gunn will know what to do with the character after his work in the <b>MCU's Guardians of the Galaxy</b> series. If anyone grasps what makes Superman tick, it's him.</div>FreebirdSTFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063483209918016307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352534290692857981.post-16991312524628954142024-02-27T14:55:00.000-05:002024-02-27T14:55:02.781-05:00Tickets On Sale Now For ACTION Wrestling Take Me Higher At Line Creek Bus Barn<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqmHMj0fT1xkiey8nIxhI00IrhXzU0uCGSdNtEoJ_nrg4kbMcdg-bmCP-qA9JlHzca1UtSW-a0BkH6o1WxBUJz7OvnoXG9w78edvQCHISI2eGesY4V1XlYoJnZOWE4TUF_1i6FLKMBkCN1epuyxV4lDOZUDhy4n9acZ6BwwR5VGmdMXHCRLGPEHpo53ho/s1600/GHW1lcgW4AMDBym.jpg" style="display: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqmHMj0fT1xkiey8nIxhI00IrhXzU0uCGSdNtEoJ_nrg4kbMcdg-bmCP-qA9JlHzca1UtSW-a0BkH6o1WxBUJz7OvnoXG9w78edvQCHISI2eGesY4V1XlYoJnZOWE4TUF_1i6FLKMBkCN1epuyxV4lDOZUDhy4n9acZ6BwwR5VGmdMXHCRLGPEHpo53ho/s1600/GHW1lcgW4AMDBym.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Tickets are NOW on sale for TAKE ME HIGHER on Fri, Mar 29th in Fayetteville Ga in our return to the Line Creek Bus Barn!<br /><br />🎟️ <a href="https://t.co/S3l0kgZ7MG">https://t.co/S3l0kgZ7MG</a> <a href="https://t.co/oBN5bShQIi">pic.twitter.com/oBN5bShQIi</a></p>— ACTION Wrestling (@WrestleACTION1) <a href="https://twitter.com/WrestleACTION1/status/1762514966039478361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 27, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></center><br /><br />Tickets have gone on sale for <b><a href="http://www.action-wrestling.com">ACTION Wrestling's</a></b> return to the <b>Line Creek Bus Barn in Fayetteville, Georgia</b> with <b>Take Me Higher</b>.<br /><br /><b>SAW DC favorite "Any Style" Adam Priest</b> will be there as will <b>Big Dave (Since '99)</b> so ACTION is off to a hot start in the talent department.<br /><br />This is a <b>PG-13 show</b> held at a brewery, but <b>all ages</b> are allowed<br /><br />Join us there as <b>South Atlanta Wrestling Dot Com (Est. 2011)</b> is a sponsor of this show!<br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="393.75" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vSPu62qk_Z5qip75IRfeMAA93pPzqMsnw_xn8NVuvPWypGRrFXOW47cacCsJeE-pOWepnfS5ryL4Iu4/embed?start=true&loop=true&delayms=3000" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="700"></iframe><br /><br /><i>ACTION Wrestling Take Me Higher<br /><br /></i></center><center><i>Friday, March 29, 2024<br /><br />Line Creek Brewing Bus Barn<br />300 City Ctr Pkwy, Fayetteville, GA 30214<br /><br />Doors 6:30 PM / Bell 8:00 PM<br /><br />Tickets: <a href="http://www.action-wrestling.com">ACTION-Wrestling.com</a></i></center>FreebirdSTFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09063483209918016307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352534290692857981.post-41404752317218288582024-02-27T13:36:00.002-05:002024-02-27T13:36:37.741-05:00Ole Anderson Passes Away (1942 - 2024)<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikXB2jrGNiBRs8GYTMdAmV1ZkESlt7W_CVcEELhdjN_o7wmPPHr0o52kC1PK9YxxeWQQntGx1ghgXxiOI3n8LAE29CMzKZpgz69Ev8_PJzdK3QiPWAXbvNfx5gAwfLlQiwg_xf37mnLhLbe5STF9PXF8jds7pxRJaTZvEFrGl16DmIHJNaZo-EAWawwPI/s1600/GHUD-jOXsAAVaXJ.jpg" style="display: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="938" data-original-width="1676" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikXB2jrGNiBRs8GYTMdAmV1ZkESlt7W_CVcEELhdjN_o7wmPPHr0o52kC1PK9YxxeWQQntGx1ghgXxiOI3n8LAE29CMzKZpgz69Ev8_PJzdK3QiPWAXbvNfx5gAwfLlQiwg_xf37mnLhLbe5STF9PXF8jds7pxRJaTZvEFrGl16DmIHJNaZo-EAWawwPI/s1600/GHUD-jOXsAAVaXJ.jpg" /></a></div>

The wrestling world lost a legend with the passing of <b>Ole Anderson </b>on <b>February 26, 2024</b>.<br /><br />To my understanding <b>Ole </b>had been battling health issues for a number of years.<br /><br />He is a fascinating case for me because he was someone I knew back in the very beginning of my fandom, but grew to appreciate more as an adult.<br /><br />By the time I knew of him he was a member of the <b>Four Horsemen alongside "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, manager James J. (JJ) Dillon, </b>and his storyline brother/cousin/nephew <b>Arn Anderson</b>.<br /><br />The thing was that young me thought that both <b>Lex Luger </b>or <b>Barry Windham </b>were better "fourth Horsemen" than him because I thought both fit the vibe of the group better.<br /><br />Looking back that is absolutely not the case because Ole was the terrifying foundation on which the Horsemen were built. Do you know how you can get away with being as brash and arrogant as Flair and Tully? When you've got a guy who hurts people for pleasure at your side. <br /><br />Simply put, Ole had an aura of menace that was palpable in a way you rarely see.<br /><br />As for his <b>pre-Horsemen</b> time I was a bit too young for the <b>Ole & Gene Anderson</b> tag team, but they were obviously legendary.<br /><br />I also just missed his teaming with <b>Stan "The Lariat" Hansen</b> (which is a hoot and a half). Most importantly I did not see his turns on <b>"The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes or Thunderbolt Patterson</b>.<br /><br />The Patterson one is chilling because of how dispassionate Ole is here:<br /><br /><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="393.75" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/85x9fO8Wr-8" title="Confrontation between Thunderbolt Patterson and Ole Anderson Saturday Night April 6th, 1985" width="700"></iframe></center><br /><br />So long as I can remember <b>Ole & Arn</b> were a tag team so I probably became really aware of professional wrestling just after this moment from <b>April 1985</b>.<br /><br />More recently I've become aware of the turn above against <b>Patterson</b>, and of course the <b>Big Turn of 1980 in Georgia Championship Wrestling</b>.<br /><br /><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="393.75" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/byRdTgPp_Nc" title="GCW July 26, 1980 (Ole Anderson Heel Turn on Dusty Rhodes In Full)" width="700"></iframe></center><br /><br />A highlight of the Big Turn is that Ole flat tells <b>Gordon Solie</b> that he only pretended to be Dusty's friend for a full year and some change in order to jump him. He not only promises to put Dusty out of the business, but also his own <b>(storyline) brother Lars Anderson</b>.<br /><br />To this day I still have not seen a ton of his tag work with Gene Anderson, but I certainly respect what they accomplished.<br /><div><br /></div><div>His passing reminded me of one of the funniest quotes about him from <b>Jim Ross in The Rise and Fall of WCW </b>documentary, "<i>Guys either really liked Ole or they really didn't, and he didn't care.</i>"</div><div><br /></div><div>All that said, Ole Anderson was a tremendous talent who accomplished a ton in the professional wrestling business, and I hope that's celebrated regardless his "prickly" demeanor. </div><div><br />Here's <b><a href="https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2024/02/26/ole-anderson-dead-at-81/?fbclid=IwAR0xsu0-zwELA0qoov1shZe4N4mohTJlyTRK9i2QnoQ6eqPLKE6rhmXLVDM">Greg Oliver's obituary in SLAM!

Below is what <b>Bryant</b> had to say about the passing of Ole Anderson. It's shared in the caption of the Instagram post as well.<br><br>
-------
<br /><br />No one ever accused <b>Ole Anderson</b> of being a nice guy, but one thing is for sure, Ole is one of the greatest minds to ever have the book. <br /><br />To me Ole Anderson represents the absolute best <b>Pro Wrestling</b> has to offer. An incredible promo and a scary looking dude. You’ll be hard pressed to come across anyone who comes across as genuinely threatening as Ole Anderson. <br /><br />Not everything he touched was gold but when it was good, it was incredible. A key member of not one, but several of the greatest <b>Tag Teams</b> and <b>factions </b>professional wrestling has ever seen. <br /><b><br />RIP Rock

</center><br /><br /><b>2K </b>had <b>CM Punk</b> announce yesterday that he will, in fact, be in <b>WWE 2K24</b>. Not only that he's scheduled for the first <b>DLC pack (ECW Punk Pack)</b> that's releasing on <b>May 15, 2024</b>.<br /><br />That means it will only be a couple of months between the game's release and his inclusion!<br /><br />The DLC offerings in general this year are pretty compelling. I've added a <b><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HlUVRxL8PHVjFGHffyfah4ZctToxSMQfvxHXqgn4ZHw/edit?usp=sharing">DLC tab on the Google Sheet</a></b>, but <a href="https://wwe.2k.com/2k24/season-pass/">here's a link directly to 2K's site</a> to see all of the names.<br /><br />The ones that me and Bryant are excited about are <b>Punk, The Dudleyz, Sandman, Terry Funk, Honky Tonk Man, DDP, Mr. Perfect, The Great Muta, </b>and <b>Lex Luger</b>.<br /><br /><b>Mr. Perfect</b> and <b>Lex Luger </b>were two names that I specifically mentioned I wish had made the roster before they revealed the DLC.<br /><br /><b>Muta</b> is a guy I never thought I'd see in this game so I'm excited to see what he's like.<br /><br />All in all, I think they've done a really good job with the construction of this roster. The DLC put it way over the top for me.<br /><br />Here's the list of names alone grouped by DLC pack, more information available at those links above however.<center><br /><br /><b>CM Punk<br />
