I enjoyed the first season of SNW. Of the new ST shows I've seen (Discovery season 1 & 2, Picard season 1, Lower Decks Seasons 1-3), I'd say its the most classic Trek feeling of the shows. If you get caught up in continuity minutiae or why the bridge looks fancier ~10 years before TOS, it might not be for you though.

Aww, RIP. Cobra and Goku - Midnight Eye might be the works I knew him best by.

To be fair to Eli Roth, this film is supposed to be the 70s horror film his ad in GRINDHOUSE advertised, and I think buckle capotains fits that asthetic pretty well.

Re dial of destiny, I can't disagree the third act is a bit of a mess and loses focus of the characters and story. I enjoyed it still.

Yeah, one thing Vince doesn't like is Tag Teams so WWF has always been weak in that area. Midnight Express & Cornette were great heels and it was fun seeing them come into a territory and cause havok. Loved seeing them work.

Turner loved wrestling, but the sale to Time-Warner sort of screwed that up. Wrestling had kept TBS afloat prior to Turner superstation-ing it. T-W thought it was beneath them. I saw some WCCW with the Von Erichs and Freebirds but not sure how. Definitely knew who they were when they hit GCW the first time.

I'm probably much of the same period. I did see a lot of 70s wrestling when I was really young, but it wasn't multi-territory. Primarily GCW, but also got some of NWA Mid-America (Gulas), NWA Southeast (Fuller) and Continental Wrestling (Jarrett) depending on which relatives we visited. I remember tuning in on "Black Saturday" when GCW was replaced without notice by the WWF (as Vince had bought the Brisco's controlling interest to get the national time slot on TBS). We were rescued by Crockett Promotions, lol. About a year after Black Saturday Joe Pedicino and Bonnie Blackstone hosted a huge time block of wrestling (called "Superstars of Wrestling") culled from syndicated shows around the nation. I seem to recall it was originally on from 8 pm to 3 am (starting just after WCW Saturday Main Event so as not to compete). Superstars was syndicated a year later, so its possible you may have seen it.

I think that its always been that an alternative to WWE has to exist when looking at national wrestling promotions. WWE / Vince by itself will just get lazy and regurgitative. Just being able to have an alternative to move to / from rejuvenates storylines and matches. I'm not convinced today is better than when we were in classic eras with the territories (although some things are better now than the territory days and to be fair, the territories are never coming back), but I think its clear AEW has helped the sport(s entertainment) get out of the funk it had been in.

Besides the appropriateness of "Y" existentially questioning the renaming of itself with its name, it'd have the benefit that instead of re-branding tweets as xeets, they could just call them yeets which also seems appropriate give what gets thrown up there anymore. Good luck with the jobs DN!
