WWE Clash Of Champions 2019

So, in an effort to try and get some sleep, I watched the last WWE PPV and fell asleep right after the Women’s tag-title match… so that clearly got the job done. For the most part, the show was boring and sleep-inducing; hence why I preferred to talk about an old WCW PPV that was terrible for my Wednesday PPV musings over a WWE PPV that was boring. Not because it was better, but because the WWE write-up would’ve been  several lines of  “So-so beat so-so in a match to retain or win some title. Boring.”

Oh… so you want me to go through that? Okay…

WCW Fall Brawl 2000

So after some period of inactivity and revisiting old Summerslam PPVs, we’re bringing back the wrestling PPV musings on Wednesday afternoons. And what better show to kick off this new session of weekly incoherent musings on old shows than to check out an old WCW PPV from the year 2000, built on the premise of Goldberg refusing to follow a script.

Good old WCW in the year 2000; an absolute clusterfuck of an era where nothing goes write and every week, a new contender for worst wrestling program on television is crowned.

Power Rangers Reflections #22 – The Mutiny (3-Part Episode)

Wasn’t planning on this… but figured it’d be both a worthy tribute of sorts and a way to kick off the series.

So this past weekend, voice actor Robert Axelrod passed away. And in a tribute of sorts, I want to muse on the three-part episode that introduced his most famous portrayal: Lord Zedd.

Axelrod wasn’t a stranger to Power Rangers: he had voiced the character of Finster during the show’s first season. But most people know him best as the voice of Zedd, the villain introduced in the second season premiere as a replacement for Rita Repulsa in order to change things up.

Even though this is a three-parter, we’ll be blowing through these episodes pretty quickly with some bullet points and other bits of observation. This aired in prime time, you know. And it was a pretty big deal at the time to have Prime Time Power Rangers… I have no idea what that meant, but it was indeed a big deal and you knew shit was going down.

Robert Axelrod

Robert Axelrod passed away this past weekend.

Best known for his vocal talents as the villainous Lord Zedd in several seasons worth of Power Rangers, Mr. Axelrod has voiced numerous characters over the course of his career, from Digimon to Robotech and other anime dubs of note. He had also been a guitarist in the 1970s.

Words cannot properly the profound sense of loss that is being felt and I can only offer my thoughts and condolences to his family and friends on this trying time.

Godspeed, Mr. Axelrod. And thanks for the memories.

DTM-Cast – Episode #100

Click here to download.

It is the landmark 100th episode of the prestigious program. And there is clearly a ton of shit for us to go through… so let’s get to it, kids.

Show opens with a toast of sorts and the audio quality is rather poor compared to the rest of the show. Then we touch on a variety of different things; the “Switch exodus” of sorts, the JDF wankfest that failed to make money, NXT to USA, a couple trailers, and a piece of business that requires resolution.
