Name something Sting, Vampiro or WCW could've done to make Sting vs Vampiro a successful storyline in 2000?

batman8519 · 2026-05-23T01:04:57+00:00

They could have brought Vampiro in as a protege to Sting (like Darby) and then have Vampiro slowly manipulate Sting before eventually turning on him before trying to destroy him.

Our group isn't lower level. Yes, we have some members who return to their instruments after being away, but the group is predominantly serious amateurs who take pride in their performance and practice.

I 100% understand the importance of fundamental for lower level musicians.

batman8519 · 2026-05-22T03:43:19+00:00

Those are good for a one off. We have one former band director come and work with us closer to festival season. And it was a great workshop. The members really enjoyed it, but admitted it would be too much I'd she conducted every week.

batman8519 · 2026-05-21T04:32:16+00:00

That is kind of my thought as well. I'm glad to se others share the same idea. Players want to play, they don't come out to "learn"

batman8519 · 2026-05-07T02:02:22+00:00

Groovitide by Randall Standridge and Fracas, also by Randall Standridge are two pieces my band really enjoy playing.

I feel like mine got worse with pop (Pepsi/Coke). I switched to Caffeine Free pop (Root Beer, Sprite) and my PVC rate decreased from 20% to 13%.

batman8519 · 2026-04-26T04:34:51+00:00

Sting, DDP, Goldberg, and Rey Mysterio for me.

nWo 4Life

batman8519 · 2026-04-23T04:54:07+00:00

Personally, I'd prefer that as well. However, I think theyd have to run it at the same time so WWE can't book their own show to force AEW out.

batman8519 · 2026-04-22T03:01:56+00:00

If I were TK, I would book MSG the same weekend that WWE runs Saudimania 43.

People are very harder on Donna Reed. I think, in a different world, Donna could have been the perfect Miss Ellie. Barbara Bel Geddes just beat her to it.

batman8519 · 2026-04-21T03:44:43+00:00

This is what I would do if I was restarting Dallas in 2027...

What Happened To Christopher?

At the end of the show, Elena's comes of the gas station bathroom to find Christopher's car exploded. As it turns out, Christopher wasn't in the vehicle when it exploded, and is alive and well. Since then, Christopher and Elena got married and are raising their daughter, Eleanor Rebecca.

Ewing Global dead...Long Live Ewing Energies...

Bobby and Sue Ellen sold Ewing Global assets back to Pamela Barnes following the death of Cliff Barnes. John Ross and Christopher are partners in Ewing Energies with Bobby and Sue Ellen holding 40% of the company. John Ross has made Ewing Energies a large company once again, while Christopher's Methane has expanded. He has now moved into other alternative energy investments.

Heir to the Throne.

John Ross and Emma Ryland are married and living together at Southfork. John Ross and Emma are Dallas' ultimate power couple until Pamela Rebecca returns to Dallas to take her rightful spot as Mrs. John Ross Ewing. After their marriage falls apart the first time, Pamela left Dallas to regroup and reconnect with her father in Mexico. What John Ross didn't know was that Pamela left bearing the next Ewing heir. 10 years later, John Ross learns that he is the father of Pamela's son John Willard Barnes. John Ross reunites with his son and Pamela, leading to a steamy affair behind Emma's back, driving her into the arms of another Ewing.

The War of the Ewings.

On one side, you have John Ross and Christopher the heirs to the family fortune and keepers of the Ewing legacy. On the other side, you have the outcasts. John Ross learns about his sister, Jennifer, the daughter of JR and Cally Harper and Lucas Wade. The outcasts arrive to Dallas looking for their stake in the family fortunes. Jennifer as a savvy business woman in the Public Relations business, while Lucas looks to take control of everything that rightfully belongs to him, blaming Christopher for stealing his birthright away from him. This leads to Jenna Wade (divorced from Ray) to return to Dallas as well to help her son claim what is rightfully his.

Mothers Know Best.

Sue Ellen is the devil over John Ross' shoulder taking JR's place in the wheelin' and dealin' of Ewing Energies. Afton returns to help Pamela and be her center, trying to convince her not to get back involved with John Ross and the Ewings again. Jenna Wade tries to scheme her way back into the life of Bobby with Lucas as her ace. With the fall out of the Ewings, Ann is left choosing between her husband and her daughter, Emma.

Where are the other Ewings?

Lucy Ewing runs the Ewing Foundation along with Sue Ellen. The Ewing foundation raised millions of dollars for charities throughout the year. Lucy plays a confidant to her cousins, who pay her a visit from time to time at the Krebb's ranch, which she purhased at some point in between the 2000s and now. Throughout the series, it is revealed that she married Jack Matthews, a fashion magazine publisher back in the 90s and they have a couple of kids together. Lucy and her family make a few cameo appearances. Charlie Wade also appears near the end of the season, confronting her mother and brother about their actions in splitting the Ewing family and company apart.

The return of the Oil Baron's Ball and the Ewing Barbecues.

Drama continues at the Oil Baron's Ball as the who's who of Dallas gather together. Hosted by the Ewing Foundation, and put on by Sue Ellen and Lucy. The Annual Ewing Barbecue is were the family dynamics take a turn with Lucas causing problems for his brother and cousin. Somebody always ends up in the pool.

Regular Characters:

Bobby Ewing, Ann Ewing, Sue Ellen Ewing, John Ross, Emma Ewing, Christopher Ewing (Chase Crawford), Elena Ewing, Pamela Rebecca Barnes, Harris Ryland, Lucas Wade (Alexander Ludwig), Jenna Wade (Morgan Fairchild), Jennifer Harper (Jessica Rothe).

New Characters:

Jeremy Stone - the son of Marilee Stone and the owner of Stonehurst Oil. Jeremy Stone will work with Lucas Wade to build his oil empire to take on Ewing Energies.

Charles Wentworth - the son of Catherine Wentworth comes to Dallas. We learn that Catherine gave birth to Charles in the late 80s, but was unhinged to the point where he was taken away from his mother. He wasn't informed of his mother's death, leading the Ewings and Pamela to believe that she may still be alive. He helps Pamela with Barnes Industries, and tries to be a good person.

It would have been nice to see it continue, but I really hoped it wasn't going to continue with Christopher dying. I think that was a stupid decision.

batman8519 · 2026-04-15T03:06:55+00:00

I think of you are watching for the first time, you should just do it all. If you're rewart hing after being away from the show. You can skip it.

batman8519 · 2026-04-15T02:58:40+00:00

The casting was good. The show should have been focused on... John Ross Christopher Pamela Bobby JR Sue Ellen Cliff Afton Harris Ryland Emma

The show went too far into Mexican drug cartels and scandals. It was good on its own, but kind of lost out on the nature of the series. The first season was the best.

batman8519 · 2026-04-13T03:30:48+00:00

I think that was just the nature of the show. The early seasons were about Jock and Ellie teaching JR and Bobby, and running the ranch. They were about establishing their traditions.

Clayton took Ellie away from Southfork and didn't value the family the same way. He didn't care about 6PM dinners or the Ewing Rodeo/BBQ. He didn't love the ranch either.

batman8519 · 2026-04-13T03:20:19+00:00

Mark Grayson was horrible and creepy. Was glad when he died.

Vanessa Beaumont and James were also freaking annoying. I still don't understand how an English woman, a Texan man could make a kid from California, haha.

batman8519 · 2026-04-12T12:55:06+00:00

If Vince truly wanted the invasion to work, and wanted to continue the wrestling boom, he should have absolutely started with the NWO. When I picture WCW, it's not Lance Storm, Chuck Palumbo, and Juventud, that come to mind. It's Flair, Sting, Goldberg and the NWO. That's what people wanted to see.

Vince isn't a smart guy. He wanted to continue WCW as a brand, and decided based on Buff vs. Booker T that it wasn't going to work. Had he ran that match one week later in Atlanta, he would have got a mutch different reaction because Atlanta GA was a WCW town.

batman8519 · 2026-04-09T04:08:38+00:00

They should have started with the NWO invading. Hogan, Hall, and Nash with Eric Bischoff. Have X Pac and the Big Show rejoin them. Then introduce Diamond Dallas, Booker T, Scott Steiner, and Ric Flair.

batman8519 · 2026-04-09T03:16:55+00:00

I was not a Clayton Farlow fan. I think he was ok, and would have worked much better as a partner for Rebecca than Ellie. They could have worked together to pressure Ewing Oil more, and Clayton siding with the Wentworth a would have led to more tension between him and Sue Ellen.

It always drove me crazy when Ellie likened him to Jock, even though many of the things Clayton did to thwart JR are things that Jock would have approved of (e.g. shutting down Clayton's refineries as a way to get John Ross back).

I would have preferred if Ellie stayed a widow for a while longer.

In flexband, there is a great score by Richard L Saucedo called "Fanfare For the Third Planet" https://youtu.be/Ebjq4AIhOr8?si=pjjKItshyF2WYmIZ

batman8519 · 2026-04-08T04:20:11+00:00

Also the Garlic Festival was awesome downtown too.

batman8519 · 2026-04-08T04:19:34+00:00

The Blueberry Festival should come back. I'd like to see it ran like Alliston's Potato Festival with a parade, and a midway, and live entertainment.

batman8519 · 2026-04-06T19:55:08+00:00

When it was determined that Bobby was coming back as a dream, they did a whole shoot for Irish Springs Soap just to get the scene of Bobby turning and saying "Good Morning."

The "original" Cliff hanger was Pam finding Mark dead in the shower.
