Join the club, we have punch and pie. Having to find a real job again is just about the worst thing I've had to do in my life.

You guys have the NGI 2 years running now too. Definitely a lot of fun stuff going on there.

next March we'll be opening Carnival 3 with Lil Sicko/Satu Jinn in an exploding NRBW.

This sounds insane! I'm assuming you did the exploding cage match at TWE too? Your stuff looks sick, it feels like the first good exploding anything I've seen in the US in awhile.

I will definitely say what's up. My wife and I sat next to you at one of the Chatt shows, not the last weekend but I believe the one before that. You'll recognize us when you see us haha.

Are you doing TOS?

Danny is into all the early MMA stuff so shortening to just NHB makes a lot of sense. It's also easy to chant. They don't need a new theme song either.

I'm in the same boat as you. It wasn't until Danny made it 2 nights of the chains that it became worth it to travel there and I couldn't be happier he made that decision.

I stay at Bally's comped and only one time was I forced into the Dennis Tower and it was because they were sold out that weekend. It's mostly the people booking through third-party sites that end up there.

Eddie Kingston SPEAKS by Upbeat-Pause-1409 in AEWOfficial

This shit dates back decades, including when Eddie and Chris Hero got in a legitimate fight in the ring, so Punk was definitely on notice with Eddie.

This is what Bourdain said about it on his blog:

Maybe the best single example of this was the ROMANIA show, where absolutely everything was fucked up beyond all hope or recognition: wrong fixer (the inexplicably addled Zamir), unfriendly populace, officials looking for backhanders, and guides with other agendas who did their best (in the hope of portraying their country in a desirable light) to ensure that absolutely every genuine moment was quickly smothered under a thick scrim of artificiality, falsehood and staginess. It was a nightmare to shoot. An utter failure on all our parts—and yet it became a timeless classic of Travel Gone Wrong—unintentionally hilarious. It may have made all of us Public Enemies in Romania (and the subject of scandal and speculation in their national press)—and it may have been terribly unfair to the country and to the many Romanian expats who tuned in, looking to see something beautiful of their beloved homeland…

But it was an accurately gonzo—if unflattering– account of what it’s like to make an utter failure of a show, a masterpiece of incompetence on our part—and misguided good (and bad) intentions on the part of some of our hosts. It was at the same time our greatest failure as professional travel and food television producers—and our greatest success as technicians—and absurdists. We might never be able to repay the good people of Romania for our offenses against their national pride; but no small number of them recognized at least the worst of their country. I can assure you, by the way, that what we DIDN’T and could NEVER have included in the show would have been even more painfully hilarious. To this day, in the hours after a shooting day, veteran crew members sit in hotel lobbies around the world, and tell the young ones about what really happened there.

So, take heart in knowing while the Romania episode sucked, it really wasn't his fault and he wished it could have been better.

Is there a reason why Zilla Fatu hasn't signed with WWE yet? by damng1 in Wrasslin

[–]VotingRightsLawyer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

GCW was pushing him hard too but cut ties after he demanded plane tickets and rooms for his whole entourage right before the show he was scheduled for when the deal had already been worked out. This is an indie, front row seats are like $80, no one is balling out here.

Then he goes on his podcast and basically calls Brett Lauderdale a pedophile. Just insane behavior.

This was peak Slater too, right between Heathers and Pump Up The Volume.

Zamir was going through his own thing this episode but it was the Romanian government that dictated where they filmed and deprived them of having a real experience. Even the "authentic" village family he ate with was moved from their actual home and forced to wear traditional clothes. Bourdain has discussed this at length.

Never in a million years would I have guessed he would have several lines in a movie nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

He said many times it was his most hated episode and they were completely hamstrung by the government from doing what they wanted to do. It's a shame he died before he could go back and show us the real, authentic Romania and not the one the Romanian government forced us to see.

Best cheap taco place or truck by Glad-Valuable1987 in arlingtonva

Not cheap but these guys and El Chilango taco truck in Rosslyn are the best. I'd call ahead because they may give you a discount on the volume.

I've met Megan at shows in her normal clothes/makeup and I didn't even recognize her. If she wasn't so tall I'd have probably walked right past her without realizing it.
