David Pascoe @greasepaintpeel.bsky.social · 18hDidn’t it tend to be the case that unless there was a title change happening, the heel very rarely won the blow-off match at a super card? That feud was between two people in an awkward place though. Tito was transitioning to enhancement talent and Martel was stuck behind Rude and Perfect. 100

David Pascoe @greasepaintpeel.bsky.social · 22hGot stung a few years back by renting Amarcord. Was excited as I like some of Fellini’s films and I hadn’t seen Amarcord. It was the English language dub. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve looked at Amarcord, but I still haven’t seen it. They’ve also got the original I Spit on Your Grave on Prime! 110
