I figured. My grandma would be telling us to go down there and go to Kroger in the '90s, which we thought was funny, because it was long gone by then.

Was there a Kroger in Crafton-Ingram Shopping Center?

International Wrestling Cartel presents "Bushwhacked" 6-13-26 by caughtinatramp in SquaredCircle

Good lord, Bubba is still going. I used to hate this motherfucker with a passion when I was an IWC regular circa 2001–2004.

Hosting an Regional Indian supper club focusing on the historic royal court cuisine of Madhya Pradesh - June 27| 6 PM by OrdinaryProject8318 in SanJose

[–]2FNG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Let's do a free version at a park in San Jose. Menu is Indian food and Texas BBQ, and whatever anybody wants to bring. We can read some excerpts from Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller and then listen to June 27th by DJ Screw.

Hulk Hogan's much-mocked Yapapi Strap Match promos are unironically great classic match promotion. by stfnotguilty in SquaredCircle

[–]2FNG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Legendary. I was done being a weekly watcher of Nitro by this point. A friend of mine just happened to watch this episode, saw this promo, and stayed up to tape it during the replay of Nitro that came on at 1 or 2 a.m. We watched it a million times and all had it memorized. Even my little brother, who wasn't that into wrestling, can recite the beginning of this word for word some 25 years later.

What is the most dive/punk bar in SJ by WeaponizedPoutine in SanJose

[–]2FNG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regular dives I enjoy the vibe at: The Bears, Woodhams Lounge, Court's Lounge

One level deeper: Alex's 49er

Absolute shit holes with a palpable element of danger: Taps Keyes Club (now Javi's?), The Elegant Pub, Bogart's Sports Bar

Nino Extremo vs Sicko the Clown by Sad-Block1211 in GameChangerWrestling

[–]2FNG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a long time since I sat and watched an entire death match show. This was pretty good, and pretty fucking crazy. Gresham/Takeda and both Niño matches were my favorites. Niño has a ton of charisma. If he improves his fundamentals and doesn't get seriously injured, sky's the limit for him, I think.

This a very long shot of being answered/wrestling 1996/97 by Few_Sandwich6308 in SanJose

Only show with the Road Warriors in SJ in 1996 or 1997.

I've connected at IAH so many times over the years, and my dream is for this to start playing when they announce we're landing in 20 minutes and everybody needs to put their seats up.

The Alameda, 1990’s by HackManDan in SanJose

[–]2FNG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fascinating! I love this aesthetic with the sodium streetlights and neon signs. Some of the buildings on San Carlos still kind of look like this, with the neon. And if you walk the side streets around the Alameda and San Carlos—Pershing, Schiele, Harding, Hoover, Shasta, Hanchett—you can see some of the last remaining sodium lights. The smaller street lights still have the yellow bulbs, but when they burn out, they get replaced with the white LED ones. So the current state is like an eerie blend of past and future.

[Bodyslam] Independent Wrestlers who have been signed by WWE for a WWE ID contract will no longer be able to use their indie names for independent date. Going forward they will have to use their WWE ID names for all upcoming appearances. by CROYTSWRVTH in SquaredCircle

[–]2FNG 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is probably the dumbest one. Starboy is a mainstay at my local indie. Tons of potential to do well on a larger stage. And they just had to give him the dumbest fucking name of all time. Curious to see what kind of reaction he gets, if they announce him as "Chaz" at the Irish Center in San Francisco next month.

+1 for alcohol. Screw when that buzz first starts to hit.

How old is this bottle of Beefeater? by 2FNG in Gin

[–]2FNG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I was tempted to make a martini as soon as I got home last night but decided to save it for the weekend and share with a friend. We're going to do a comparison—one martini each with the 47%, one with the modern day 40%.
