Just because I mention one doesn't mean I exclude the other.

Has anyone told him about the BIG FUCKING NAVY BASE in San Diego?

While on hold with AT&T today, I realized their hold music is the same music that's being played during the dance choreography scene during Richard Gere's part of "And the Band Played On" I've been thinking about that for hours now.

Just sitting here thinking about the Nikita Koloff babyface turn and how absolutely awesome that whole dam thing was.

Let's see Roman do 20 minutes on how awesome The Gambler is, and then he can get back to me.

He looks like a mix between Brendan Fraser and the giant Teddy Roosevelt head that they have at the Washington Nationals games.

There was a story Tony told on his podcast years ago where Barry Windham drove him home one night after a night of drinking where he gets out of the car, his wife is there to meet him and he prompty vomits all over the driveway. Damn right he loved the 80s.

Pro wrestling can be so amazing sometimes.

In a vacuum, and disregarding the circumstances, this has been a fun as hell show in the ring.

Mox seems like a good egg. His book was pretty good too.

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I remember once when I was in the navy, I said something with supreme confidence where I turned out to be wrong to a higher ranking person. It was also about whether or not a space had been cleaned, and not me calling a career prosecutor and public servant a liar and a dirtbag. I still felt stupid.

I'm reminded of a time Callis took a picture of himself shoveling snow, and I replied that top talent shouldn't shovel snow. His reply, "Oh I'm doing this as a warm-up before I go out and stretch the local hockey team."

Loss is a funny thing. I remember about nine years ago, I had an aunt that passed away. My cousins were two people that I hadn't spoken to in years. The second I heard about my aunt's passing, the FIRST thing I did was call to see if they were alright.

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I'll say this about Orange Cassidy. There's a little kid in the audience tonight that thinks he is the greatest thing they've ever seen. Because of this, that little kid will one day be taking their grandchildren to see wrestling.

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I really hope everyone on this show has as good a time given the circumstances. They all really need something to smile about right now. #AEWDynamite

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I don't watch AEW much, or much modern wrestling. I'm not one of these tribalistic fans. I just like wrestling. That Moxley promo at the beginning of Dynamite was at "wallowing in the muck of avarice" for me.

Also, on the subject of the missus over there... You can never put a price on how the womenfolk aid in our recovery. I know when I had a MRSA infection 10 years ago i'd be typing this one handed if my wife didn't tell my ass to go to the hospital.

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

You're gonna kick this thing's ass, bounce back, and be hanging around that weird little store on the VA/NC border in Little Creek before you know it.

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I always liked Sid because he seemed like a guy who in the middle of telling a story about beating a guy's ass would stop, ask how your mama's operation went, apoligize for not asking sooner, promise to send her flowers, and go right back into the ass whipping story without missing a beat.

Whatever happened to eating a box of Pop Tarts and drinking a bottle of Boone's Farm? Why we always gotta be combining things?😂

Just thinking of the time Balls Mahoney somehow recognized me from meeting him at an ECW show in Michigan years before while at an indy show in Virginia, and when I asked how he was doing... "Great! Last night I got banned for life from wrestling in Maryland for getting color!"

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I've been sad about this, but I didn't actually start tearing up until I read this. Bless you both for doing this.

Well, I do love me a good trainwreck...

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I had to duck out for a work thing before Eric Schmitt opened his mouth.....was it as much of a trainwreck as I am being led to believe? 😀

A good friend texted me this clip earlier today, and it is so nice to know that so many wrestling greats had the same personal opinion of Captain Ed George as I did. Still think him cussing me out for taking a booking a mile from my house was one of the strangest things that ever happened to me.

Batman got on my nerves He was running me amok He ridiculed me, calling me a bum I wupped Batman's ass I wupped Batman's ass I wupped Batman's ass I wupped Batman's ass I wupped Batman's ass Batman thought he was bad He was a fucking asshole in the first place He got knocked to the floor

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Thanks! It was right at the beginning of my year and change in the Michigan indies(07-08). It was a Rude Boy booked show for some small town festival where the guy I was supposed to manage didn't show and they needed a ring announcer. Ended up getting booked quite a bit for Rude Boy after that.

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

What's the greatest part is this took place over several hours. After the last time he worked he came up to me and said "Why'd you announce me at three different weights" I told him it only made sense that he would have lost weight from sweating wrestling out in the heat. Some real Bill Watts shit.

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

There was a sale at Roger Wilco over the weekend. They’re all hung over.

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This sounds like the inverse of a thing I did once ring announcing where a guy worked three times on an outdoor show and I said a slightly lower weight for each match.

This is reminding me of the WWF Fan Club newsletter from like 1989 or so where they had The Red Rooster giving a recipe for his mother's Chicken Noodle Soup....Even then I was like, "The Red Rooster is a cannibal?"

Sight unseen, I can tell that your boss is a jackass of asbsolutely comical proportions. He and my cousin Randy would have gotten along perfectly.

I've got an old episode of Mid Atlantic on, and I would never normally admit this....but I really needed to see Bugsy McGraw cutting a weird promo where he sounded high as a giraffe's asshole right now.

I never know what to say when a wrestler dies. But i'll say this... There's a strong chance that there was a little kid at All Out last night who thought PAC was the coolest wrestler ever. Because of that, that kid will be taking their grandchildren to wrestling one day. #PAC

Nothing new, wrestling promotions have been putting a mic under the ring for decades.

So I'm watching the Clash with THAT Sid/Nightstalker match.......my god, the Motor City Madman is one of the worst professional wrestlers I have ever seen.

Dan Rackley @danrfl.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I am just gonna go ahead and say it, one of the five greatest promos of the 1980s was Nelson Royal sitting around the campfire telling everyone how dangerous the Bunkhouse Stampede is.

You wanna know why The Muppets are honorary real people? When Danny Trejo's mother died, Kermit the Frog walked up to him and offered his condolences. Let's see a series of zeroes and ones goddamn do that!
