Loving the activity up in this bitch. Reminds me of what time of year it is… We are rapidly encroaching on May, which means a certain event involving drafting is right around the corner. Keep up the fun and we will kick things off in the coming weeks. Stay tuned. Truly fucking spectacular!

RIP to any current FFs I had/have going.
A new one will be produced very soon. (In no way connected with the fact that Endeavour buying WWE killed my Saudi PIF vision)

Cool moment from our event last weekend. Unfortunately, it's filmed at an angle where it doesn't look like there's anyone there. (There's around 200 people there.)

Well, I’ve accepted a new job at a new company.
We’re headed to Seattle sometime in July, but I’ll start next week (travel up in-person, and then remote until the start date).
House goes up for sale next week.

I have no idea where to post this but it's too funny not to share. On the jobsite I have my own weird ways of ribbing people to entertain myself. Pulled off a big one yesterday working with a few hispanic workers that I just met. The discussion came up about music and they were telling me who's hot and who their favorites were in the Spanish music scene. I told them my favorite Spanish singer of all time was Eladio Buente and he sang a song about the Chupacabra, they were so puzzled that none of them had ever heard of him, me trying to keep from busting out laughing so hard as they were talking amongst each other trying to seriously genuinely figure out who I was talking about. I just wish I could have been there when they got off and googled it.

*Didn't know where to put this. My fanfic project is temporarily on hold as I'm likely to be busy in real life for a while. But I had to pop in real quick with a completely unrelated storytime...Growing Up With Two Convicted Murderers
In the most Baltimore thing ever, I recently discovered two guys I played youth sports with grew up to become convicted murderers. The first guy was a fellow fullback on my soccer team in the late 80s. He had a big foot. Need a goal kick? He's your guy. This future murderer came to my house once after a game. His mom was busy that day so he stayed with us until she came to pick him up. Remember him having no idea college football was a thing. He had no interest in it so I turned the tv off to humor my guest. Also remember him thinking my dad's desk was a piano. It was one of those roller desks. Similar to this, only darker and with a chair in the middle... He wanted to play the piano. I chuckled and told him it wasn't a piano. He didn't believe me and wanted proof. Only my old man was real finicky about his precious furniture and didn't really like u messing with his stuff. So I told him we couldn't open it. Naturally I'm sure this only increased his belief that a piano was hiding under that roller and I was unnecessarily being a pill. Then his mom came back from her church function or whatever (I remember her being real religious) to pick him up. And perhaps that timely pick up is why I am still alive today? Anyway, those are the things I always remembered this future killer for- having a big foot, that one time he came over after a soccer game, not knowing about college football, and thinking my dad's desk was a piano. He was honestly a decent bloke and his mom was really nice as well. He killed a guy in 2000 after setting him up with a phony drug deal that turned into attempted robbery that turned into murder. This all took place only two streets over and five blocks up from where I grew up in the 80s. He was given a 22 year sentence. Found a bunch of info pertaining to a parole hearing in 2013, but could find no details on how that went. Either way, he should be out by now. Tbf I discovered this one about a year ago when looking him up after making the Play(ed) Any Sports? thread. ================= The second guy I only learned about a few days ago. He was between my brother and I in age. Didn't go to our school, but did play in our baseball league. Given his in between age, some years he was in my brother's league, and other years he'd be in my league. I don't specifically recall him ever coming over, but it's entirely possible. My dad was a fan of this kid. So were my brother and I. It's also possible he came to one of our bowling birthday parties and/or one of our big camping trips outside Gettysburg with like 20-30 other locals. We went in early August every year from approximately 86-96. This future convict lived one street over and three blocks up. Two doors down from my frenemy Brian... Brian diversion time. Brian was...a polarizing figure. I liked him at first. He was on my lacrosse team. Then he came to my school. As I was the only kid he knew, he latched onto me. But over time he made new friends among our classmates and didn't bother with me as much. Which was fine! Because he was kind of a jerk. My mom BANNED him from our house after one of my Pennsylvania cousins caught him trying to steal some baseball cards. Brian was also an anti-seatbelt fanatic. We'd give him a ride home after school and he was forever giving my mom a hard time over having to wear the seatbelt. Fairly certain she stopped giving him rides home at some point. So, yeah, Brian could be a pill. And my mom would give it right back to him. So I eventually got a new school bff named Phil. Phil is a first ballot Hall of Fame lock for getting me into TMNT AND The Simpsons. Waaaay better than stupid Brian The Seatbelt Hating Baseball Card Thief Timely wrestling tie in- Brian and his old man were casual fans. They liked the wrestling, but not the talking. They were already complaining about "too much talking" back in 1989! Wonder if they ever got into Japanese wrestling? Or perhaps 2000s ROH... But Brian is not the murderer here! At least not that I'm aware of. It IS Baltimore, so who knows for sure? Anyway, the future murderer was Brian's nice guy neighbor who I already knew from baseball. Brian is relevant to this story mainly because my lasting memory of the murderer stems from the night we spent at Brian's on his birthday along with a rich kid named Ben who was in the same class as Brian and I and lived on what just might be the fanciest street in all of Baltimore. Great picnic spot to this day btw. So Brian, his old man, Ben, the future murderer, and I watched Predator at Brian's house on 6/21/89* or close enough for government work. This is memorable also because Predator was the first uncensored R rated movie I ever saw in full. Then we went from hardcore to soft and fell asleep watching Angela Lansbury of Murder, She Wrote fame in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Blissfully unaware of the future to come, I survived the night with a future murderer and frankly couldn't wait to get picked up the next day** because Brian's place was an absolute madhouse. His little brother was a hyperactive little pest. His little sister was a wild child***. His mom and I never clicked. And I assume his dad went to work because I don't remember him being there. Ben got picked up early. So it was just me, annoying Brian, and the future murderer hanging out, killing time. Remember we ended up walking over to the local elementary school to play some stickball. Murderer #2 would be convicted in another state for robbery and assault(ing an elderly man) in 2012. While already in prison he murdered another inmate in 2014. This time he was sentenced to 80 years of hard time. Fwiw I never saw either killer after we moved in June 1990. We were lucky to get out when we did. Brian's family moved out around the same time as us. *Can date it because I remember seeing news of the Rickey Henderson Yankees-to-A's trade on ESPN the next morning. Cable! Soooo jealous! **Even though Brian and his murdering buddy only lived one street over and three blocks up, it wasn't a walking 3 blocks. See, because I wasn't allowed to cross the busy streets by myself and there was a super busy street in between those three blocks. It was also a long three blocks. My brother and I were fairly obedient, well-behaved children. Heck, I was so goodie goodie that my dad once embarrassed me on a teacher/parent/student meet and greet night by telling a middle school math teacher something like "You'll never have to worry about my son acting up in class. He's so goodie goodie that I'd buy him a present if he ever DID get into trouble!" I did, however, become a little more hotheaded and disobedient as a teenager. Nowadays we blame the hormones. Anyway, only once do I recall crossing one of the four busy streets that boxed us in our neighborhood without the presence of an elder. And that too would warrant a full on storytime. Maybe next time... ***Brian's sister played lacrosse on my brother's team. She was the only girl in the entire program- ages ranging from approximately 6-15. That didn't stop her from almost certainly leading their team in penalties. I wasn't kidding when I called her a wild child! That girl was nuts!

Crazy stories Baker . Reminds me of the time my best friend and I found out a guy we were in a play with was on an episode of Dateline (or 20/20 or one of those). Real religious dude who had been accused of murdering his wife. Basically wasn't convicted because they couldn't prove it or some technicality. Then, the last shot is him with his kids at the park, and his nanny came off like a total psychopath and was the only one in the episode defending him. We knew her as his new wife. Sounds like them and all of their kids moved around a lot, and when someone would find out about his history, they'd find a reason to move again.

Equally crazy story 1RealSmartAlex More Baltimore Stories Fwiw I never saw either killer after we moved away in June 1990. We were lucky to get out when we did. Brian's family moved out around the same time as us. Been on an 80s real life nostalgia kick lately and wanted to elaborate on the bolded while dropping yet another storytime. Fleeing my neighborhood became a common occurrence during the 90s. T he police helicopter hovering overhead was a nightly staple by the late 80s. That's when the exodus began. Slow at first, but gaining steam over the next few years, before ultimately growing to a stampede, as most who could get out, did get out.
Already mentioned us leaving in June 1990 and Brian's family moving around the same time. But the first to go was actually my first best friend Chris. His family left in...86, maybe? I barely remember this kid tbh. Know he had blond hair, moved to a house on top of a hill roughly in Stacy Keibler's part of town, and...I think he liked He-Man? My lasting memory involving Chris is the time he and a bunch of other local youths were outside being rambunctious hooligans while his babysitter was watching him and she scolded everybody but me because I was less rowdy than the rest and then she said I was her favorite Shoulda got her number! Yo, Amy! Hit me up if you read this! Anyway, Matt Not The IRS Fan replaced Chris as my best friend from 86ish to 90. His family left in '91- one year after we departed. Our next door neighbors on both sides* + our friends The Two Brothers** who lived two houses up (and one down from Matt) were all out of there no later than '95. Our friend Danny*** who lived across the alley from Matt left in '91 or '92. Our Pennsylvania cousins who lived a mile away earned their name by moving to PA in '89. The elderly couple across the street (he was a mechanic and she a baker of delicious desserts) whose grandsons often came over (including Maryland Man creator Daniel) also left a few years after we did. And those are only the ones I remember off the top of my head. There were many, many more. Years of "For Sale" signs up and down the block. Within a few years only a handful of families we knew (and we knew a lot since my dad was a social butterfly in a way I never was) remained in our neighborhood. A few of the old ladies died of natural causes as they were old. By the end of the 90s only two known families remained on our block. First was Mr. Charlie The Wrestling Fan Mailman (who I'll forever be indebted to for being my WWF PPV provider from WM 3-WM 7) and his family. The other was a big family down the street whose 4 children were already teenagers and twentysomethings**** by the time we left in 1990. Oh, I guess you could also include my elderly aunt & uncle among the handful of holdouts. They lived about half a mile away across one of the busy streets we weren't allowed to cross on our own. My uncle died in the late 2000s but my aunt remained there until a year or two ago when, in her 90s, she was finally talked into moving to Pennsylvania where 3 of her 5 children had resided for over 30 years (the other two moved to the inner suburbs- one south of me in the late 80s and the other north of me in the early 90s). When we still lived there this aunt worked part time at both a Giant and a Rite Aid at various times. We'll come back to those stores in a minute. *One of our next door neighbors were an old married couple. He looked like Tom Bosley of Happy Days fame (though I'll forever remember T-Boz more for being the star of Father Dowling Mysteries) and owned a bar. She looked like your favorite aunt. And she was a favorite of my parents. But sometimes she got on the nerves of my brother and I. Though, to be fair, we probably annoyed her first what with being young boys who were often playing outside....loudly. On the other side was another nice elderly woman, her daughter, and her daughter's daughter. I was pretty good friends with the youngest girl. She was a year or two older than me and probably the closest girl friend I had until 2000. Had a REALLY mean dog though! **The older of the The Two Brothers has an unusual name I am not going to share. His lasting claim to fame is popularizing the pompously named "Seven Grass Hills" which I covered in the "100 Greatest Running Backs" thread while writing about Whizzer White (it actually makes sense in context). John, the younger brother, was a huge Hulkamaniac. Even bigger than my brother. Fwiw Matt & Danny were also Hulkamaniacs as was the style with young boys in 1980s America. John had a Hogan shirt and was forever doing Hogan poses. He could be a bit much. Especially after spending some time in Chicago. He came back from that trip repping Chi-Town so hard it wasn't funny. This got SUPER annoying to us true blue Baltimoreans. His Chicago trip felt like years, but was probably only one summer as time is weird when one is young. Their claim to fame as a duo is once pissing on our tennis balls. Long story. Oh, and one time my brother went after them with a wiffle ball bat because they had been messing with me. Brother with the big babyface run in! They WERE our friends, but they could also be really annoying at times if I'm being honest. ***Danny was a character. Dude was one of the all time great standup philosophers. Right up there with future standouts such as Adam and Original Baker. Danny claimed to have seen a Bigfoot on a camping trip in West Virginia, a sea serpent in a local stream***** (the depth of which couldn't have exceeded two feet btw), and swore his dad (who was the local Little League Baseball president) had hundreds of sweet jerseys stuffed away in his basement. OF COURSE we were never allowed to see these jerseys though. Even as a dumb kid I eventually realized Danny was full of it. So I decided to fight fire with fire. He had a friendly little dog with Jordanesque hops named Becky. I called her Matilda after the Bulldogs dog and spun yarns about what a brute she was. Only nobody bought my lies. So unfair! Danny's other lasting claim to fame is introducing us to the Duck Tales video game, California Games, AND Contra. Look, you can tell me all the amusing lies you want if your taste in video games is that good. ****Either the oldest son or 2nd oldest went to THE Notre Dame and could kick field goals like you wouldn't b'lieve. The two oldest boys in that family were basically a pair of Justin Tuckers to us awed youth. They were also insanely good at basketball. Or maybe it only seemed that way because we were so young... *****Remember my last post when I mentioned only ONCE crossing one of the streets we weren't supposed to cross without parental guidance? Yeah, that was Danny's fault. Because we just HAD to see this sea serpent he kept going on about. Yet no sea serpents were spotted in the local stream that day . So we crossed a perilously busy street WITHOUT PARENTAL GUIDANCE for nothing. Living dangerously, man. ================= Our block ended in the back of a shopping center. It was a nice shopping center in the 80s with a bunch of national and regional chains- Giant, Rite Aid, Hallmark, High's, plus a barber shop and an old school photo place. There were probably others I forgot given my mom filled me in on High's and Hallmark the other day as I did not remember them. Anyway, this shopping center was a great place to pick up baseball cards and 5th Avenues! Some time after we left, Mr. Charlie told my dad a new business had moved in- the drug game. According to Mr. Charlie, the back of that shopping center (meaning the side facing us) had become an open air drug market. Everyone knew it. Police and politicians were contacted. But nobody ever did anything about it. Customers would be harassed. Theft became a major problem. The shopping center suffered. Then the locals did... Their flagship, the Giant grocery store, left in 1998 (I thought it was earlier before finding confirmation). The other major chains either soon followed suit or had already fled. A bunch of fly by night operations took their place. Check cashing places came and went. As did liquor stores. A grocery store I'd never heard of and whose name I don't remember eventually took over the Giant spot. They didn't last long. The internet tells me a Family Dollar gave it a go and there was also a Chinese restaurant. They all failed. Most of the buildings were vacant and boarded up by 2014 or so. Can confirm all shops in this once-thriving shopping center were empty by 2015 and the entire area razed a year later in 2016. It's been a vacant lot ever since. The only change between 2016 and 2023 came at least a year ago when it became a vacant lot surrounded by fence. ================= I've been looking up crime stats since making my post a few days ago. My old zip code has a violent crime rate of 83.1. The US average is 22.7. Meaning my old neighborhood has a violent crime rate 3.5x higher than the US average. Yikes! Property crime rate there is 76.4 while US average is 35.4. This time the old neighborhood is "only" 2.2x higher than the national average. These are high crime rates even for Baltimore with violent crime exceeding the city average at 83.1 to 77.8 and the 76.4 property crime number being higher than the 67.6 city average. Yet, even with those atrocious numbers, it is by no means the worst area in Baltimore. Then I went down a crime stat rabbit hole. Turns out the inner suburb where I've spent the bulk of the last 33 years has a slightly above average crime rate. Ditto for the neighboring inner suburbs such as Stacy Keibler's old 'hood to the south and the one with that sweet pro-WCW graffiti on the underpass around the turn of the century to the north. Then I expanded the crime stat game to the next ring of suburbs out and, sure enough, like clockwork, they are all well below the national average. It's actually pretty hard to find decent crime stats. Even localized murder numbers are hard to come by. Other crimes harder still. And hardest of all is finding solid info on anything prior to 2000. I'm curious to see the rates in my old 'hood for every decade. Will keep digging... ================= Took a ride through my old neighborhood yesterday and walked some other old haunts such as my elementary school grounds, my old friend Ben's fancy street with veritable mansions flanking literal ponds, and by Phil's old house. Saw the guy in the AEW hoodie walking roughly 1/2 mile from my old abode. Good to know there are still wrestling fans in the old neighborhood. The school I attended from Kindergarten through 5th grade closed down two years ago OK, you have to understand something about B-More. It's not all slums. That's a myth. There are some ritzy parts. And sometimes the ritzy parts are only separated from the slums by one major thoroughfare. I saw it first hand today! Even my old zip code with the astronomical crime rates has its fancy part. It's wild. My old school and Phil's house are just on the fancy side. But not the SUPER fancy side. For that you have to go to Ben's street in the heart of Big Money Baltimore. It looks like something out a fairy tale. Houses there go for close to a million $ and the dichotomy between Big Money Ben's ritzy neighborhood and my crime-ridden old neighborhood only two miles away is like night and day. ========== Maybe next time I’ll tell the story about that time the old man across the alley pulled a gun on my chums and I. ========== RT if you want to move this and my above post into my latest fanfic project that'll be cool. It'll avoid cluttering this one up and I can just use that other thread as my Storytime Dumping Ground from here on out

Been lurking and looking back at old stuff a lot lately. Might try to write a short project over Christmas break. If I do a lion's share of the planning over break, I might be able to sustain it when I go back to work.
I'm actually helping book SCWPro now (doing quite a bit of it, two person booking team). I also just interviewed to take on more duties at work. It'd be an increase and pay, but it would all have to be done outside contract hours.
Don't want to commit to something without an expiration date. Maybe like a 4-5 month season of FFCW. I've been fucking around with a pitch.

I was going through my Google Drive and came upon my greatest fed setup idea (circa early 2010s).
Zack Ryder wins the lottery, and launched the Internet Wrestling Company (IWC).
He puts up his own Internet Championship as the main title, which he has vacated in favor of a tourney,
In the finals, it’s Ryder vs. the new fed’s biggest signing, John Cena.
Cena turns heel and tells the entire IWC they’re stuck with him as champ forever, and they can all kiss his ass.

That is a mistake on my part. I may have deleted it at some point. I never actually saw the other match and couldn’t include it. There are a pile of matches from last year that probably could be added but I never actually sat down and watched.

I'm waiting to fully update my list until after tonight, but the following are for sure finding spots on my list: Kenny Omega vs El Hijo del Vikingo Wheeler Yuta vs Katsuyori Shibata Reach For The Sky Ladder Match IMPACT Tag Team Titles from the IMPACTxNJPW show Usos vs Owens/Zayn Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Ibushi vs Bailey will probably go straight to the Honourable Mentions simply because Bloodsport matches are more short & sweet than good wrestling matches, but it deserves mention simply for being Ibushi's first match back and being an actually good Bloodsport match that didn't involve two guys blading all over each other. I want Claudio/Eddie on my list but it's starting to get awful crowded. Might also just end up in the Honourable Mentions. I'm not sure yet. Same for Mysterio/Dominik. Although looking back the best part of that match was the entrances and the wrong guy won, so... EDIT: Add Gunther/Sheamus/Drew to the list. Hahaha I even wrote myself a reminder to add it after watching it (I only saw parts at the time and needed to watch the full match) I remember now. My stream was fucked and I missed it so I saw highlights and knew I needed to go back and watch it so I could add it. As for Cody/Reigns I don’t know how it got missed. I definitely meant to include it and must have just spaced when I updated my list after Wrestlemania. I will fix it ASAP.

I want Claudio/Eddie on my list but it's starting to get awful crowded. Might also just end up in the Honourable Mentions. I'm not sure yet. Same for Mysterio/Dominik. Although looking back the best part of that match was the entrances and the wrong guy won, so... EDIT: Add Gunther/Sheamus/Drew to the list. Hahaha I even wrote myself a reminder to add it after watching it (I only saw parts at the time and needed to watch the full match) I remember now. My stream was fucked and I missed it so I saw highlights and knew I needed to go back and watch it so I could add it. As for Cody/Reigns I don’t know how it got missed. I definitely meant to include it and must have just spaced when I updated my list after Wrestlemania. I will fix it ASAP. Stream? You guys don’t get Peacock for $2 a month in Canada?

We can’t even get Peacock in Canada. We get absolutely shafted with streaming services up here. Everyone pirates or just doesn’t watch. It’s why AEW does so bad. Dynamite airs on one of the secondary sports channels and Rampage and Collision aren’t even on TV. WWE airs on a different secondary sports channel. We have two up here: TSN & SportsNet. Each one has like 6 or 7 different channels. TSN 2 (the channel that picks up hockey games nobody watches) is Dynamite SportsNet 360 (same channel that airs random soccer games and darts) does WWE. That’s it. And because we only have two cable companies, they charge obscene dollars just for basic packages. The channels I just mentioned are not included. You have to pay extra. So almost nobody does. Boomers that watch hockey every night are the only ones that do. The rest of us don’t have cable and spend our money on high speed internet so we can pirate shows we want to see.

Writing away so I can finally maybe finish a book this year. Got into the Disney TCG Lorcana last year, which is probably gonna be my forever game. Also just booked a Florida trip for end of February, so can't wait ti hit up all the Disney and Universal parks.

Edit: AND I figure... if I'm gonna finally finish my first book these year after, what... at least 20 years of working on and off on this damn series.... you guys are gonna wanna know about it.
