Well, the AWA was based out of Minneapolis for about three decades and change.

Wrestling was crazy in the 80s. Mean Gene as a rock star crazy.

Was at pub trivia last night. The visual image round was "famous friends of Andy Warhol" and had ten pics of Andy with various celebs. Image #10...

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Pro wrestling legend “Nature Boy” Ric Flair says he is “back up and running” after surgery Aug. 14.

Neither his representatives nor the WWE has released specifics of the surgery. His longtime girlfriend, Wendy Barlow, said Flair, 68, had “multiple organ problems.” Multiple reports have stated Flair had surgery on his bowels to remove an obstruction that had caused his kidneys to shut down.

Flair posted a 20-second video message on Twitter on Saturday that said, “To all my fans out there, let it be known worldwide the “Nature Boy” — Wooo! — is back up and running, looking as only as I can look. I want to thank all my fans out there for the love and support, and I will see you in the very, very, very, very, very, VERY near future. Wooo!”

Rhonda Rousey signs with WWE.

Well, this is pretty far from shocking.

It was the next logical step. She's done fighting, is a huge WWE fan, and needs a gig that allows her flexibility to do movies.

This is making national sports news programs today, and the NBA should be paying attention. Seattle is still really, REALLY bitter about the Supersonics. I think putting another team there would be wise, and would clearly be supported.

Turn up your speakers because this is awesome.

Two WWE heels had a bit of fun with this when the guy on the left mentions the team/city negatively (start at 1:15). The guy on the right is clearly not a sports fan (he's also Canadian) and you can see/hear him saying "They didn't like that. I don't understand what it means." Around 2:15 the guy on the left doubles down and WOW do they not like what he's saying.

From what I understand the house lights were brought up so security could see any threats coming to the ring. (That has been known to happen from time to time.)

King Kong Bundy dead at 61.

I wonder if they gave him a 5 count before pronouncing him dead?

Also, he was 61!? He looked 50 in his prime!

Vince McMahon being sued for sexual misconduct.

That article is rather light on details, so I went elsewhere (WSJ), and holy fucking shit... Not sure if it was part of this article or another, but he took a shit on her head during a threesome. When you do that, either you're German/Japanese or you have no respect whatsoever for that person.

The fact that this went on so long will, rightly?, urge some to question her motives in this whole thing. Especially since she was mum about it until the checks stopped coming. But man, I strongly believe her story even though it's all alleged because who the fuck goes public with "he took a shit on me"?
When they met, McMahon allegedly made promises of a job at WWE and showered Grant with gifts. During meetings that were supposed to be about the job, he greeted her in his underwear and repeatedly asked for hugs. Then, the suit said, he pressured her into sexual activities in return for employment and warned her to stay quiet about their interactions.

Grant began working in June 2019 as an “administrator-coordinator,” a position McMahon created for her in WWE’s legal department. She said she expressed concerns that the job felt unearned, but McMahon told her that all she needed to do was not tell anyone and that “it just has to look legit.” Colleagues complained about overflowing inboxes, but Grant had little work.

Meanwhile, McMahon allegedly sent her sexually explicit messages and his sexual demands increased. He forcefully used sex toys on her, including dildos he named after WWE wrestlers, causing her bruising and bleeding, the suit said. Grant alleged that she complained to McMahon and made attempts to end the relationship.
She alleged that McMahon and another WWE executive locked her in an office in WWE’s headquarters in Stamford, Conn., on June 15, 2021, and took turns sexually assaulting her while other staff were working.

In the middle of another workday, on June 23, 2021, McMahon locked Grant inside his private locker room at WWE’s offices and forced himself on her over a massage table, the suit said. Later that day, McMahon’s personal assistant delivered $15,000 in Bloomingdale’s gift cards to Grant in her office.

The suit also includes screenshots of explicit text messages that McMahon allegedly sent to Grant. A May 2020 message said: “i’m the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f— U.
Grant alleged that McMahon shared nude photos and explicit videos of her without consent with other WWE employees, unnamed executives and stars, and directed her to have sex with them. The suit cited a July 2020 text that said others at WWE wanted to have sex with her after seeing photos on McMahon’s phone, and the group laughed when he told them, “She may scream and try to say NO!!although it would B difficult to say anything with a c— down her throat.
McMahon recruited people to have sex with Grant as well, including WWE’s former head of talent relations, John Laurinaitis, who is named as a defendant in the suit. McMahon directed her to visit Laurinaitis at his hotel rooms where she had sex with Laurinaitis prior to the start of workdays, the suit alleged...McMahon controlled her professional and personal lives and subjected her to degradation, according to the suit. In the June 2021 encounter inside the WWE office, the suit said McMahon and Laurinaitis forced themselves on her and took turns restraining her for the other, while saying “No means yes” and “Take it, b—.”
In July 2021, the suit said, McMahon instructed Grant to create personalized sexual content for a WWE superstar that he was trying to re-sign. The suit didn’t name the professional wrestler, but described him as both a UFC fighter and WWE talent. People familiar with the matter identified the wrestler as Brock Lesnar, one of WWE’s biggest names.

...The suit said McMahon shared the explicit photos with the star and informed Grant that “he likes what he sees.” After the star agreed to a new WWE contract, McMahon texted Grant in August 2021 to say “that part of the deal was f—ing U.”

That December, McMahon gave Grant’s personal cellphone number to the WWE star, the lawsuit said. The wrestler asked her to send a video of herself urinating, the suit said, and after she did, he called her a “b—.” That same month, the suit said, the star expressed a desire to “set a play date,” but a snowstorm disrupted his travel plans.
In January 2022, the suit said, McMahon told Grant that his wife, Linda McMahon, had discovered the relationship and he pressured Grant to sign an NDA in exchange for payments. The CEO warned Grant of reputational ruin that included pornographic content he had of her. He paid her about $1 million in February, the suit said, and later stopped making the payments.

After Grant signed the NDA, McMahon continued the abuse, according to the suit. It alleged that he forced Grant to perform oral sex on him the last time they met and then attempted to traffic her to the WWE star in March 2022. She texted the star explicit photos as directed by McMahon, but they didn’t meet, the suit said.
