Long time friend of the Wrestling Mayhem Show, who struck out on the internet radio experiment with me all of those years ago has a new project: ChachiSays: The VidCast. It’s something shorter, more concise, and more irreverent than ever before. Check out the fabled Episode 0 (by the number, soon to be a pack in for Wizard Magazine and Free Comic Book Day, obviously)

A few weeks ago, of course, we were visited by wrestlefan2000, straight from Texas, and took a road trip to Cleveland to check out Chikara’s “Faded Scars and Lines! Here’s some of the road trip antics.
And, of course, there’s the obligation to chop our guests!
And…of course the other obligation…the Lady Gaga Dance party…

Not only is he suspected of being the current mysterious RAW GM, he’s enforcing lab rules somewhere across the country…

It’s been awhile since the WWE gave you that buzz, hasn’t it? It’s been awhile since we’ve seen something oh, so different, yet so very familiar, that had all of us buzzing. It’s nearly a week later and we don’t even have an explanation. But then, we haven’t had an explanation for Sting’s random acts of violence for months. Do you remember the last time you had that feeling?
Was it…
ECW invades RAW….the first time... I was not presently watching wrestling when this first happened (one of my blackouts in life. I blame puberty) But this was the first, true, invasion, as these were two totally separate companies, sans the alledged financial backing by Vince McMahon under the radar…
The NWO. It was the great betrayal to all of us little Hulkamaniacs. And it kept us hooked for almost two years before it ran itself into the ground. But you still see NWO shirts in the crowd…
ECW invades RAW…the second time... Whatever you think of the WCW/ECW Invasion angle over 2001, you still had to love the original setup when ECW became a part of it.
Are there any other invasions that stuck out for you?

Last night, we all saw Golddust on a date on the “commercial free” RAW, and might have wondered who that girl was.
I give you: Cherry Bomb talking to a puppet….
*Thanks to ProWrestling.net for pointing her out.

…even though not as many people watch.
That’s something to wrap your head around. Back in the day, we used to scoff at Thunder, and the ratings it got going out the door up until 2001. And thanks to the Monday Night Wars, it’s all about ratings. Let’s compare WCW’s last year with Nitro of 2009 (because the Monday move’s ratings wouldn’t be a fair comparison of a consistant show)
WCW Thunder Ratings (courtesy Wrestling Information Archive)
| January 3, 2001 | 1.8 |
| January 10, 2001 | 2.2 |
| January 17, 2001 | 2.2 |
| January 24, 2001 | 2.2 |
| January 31, 2001 | 2.2 |
| February 7, 2001 | 1.95 |
| February 14, 2001 | 1.9 |
| February 21, 2001 | 1.5 |
| February 28, 2001 | 1.8 |
| March 7, 2001 | 1.85 |
| March 14, 2001 | 1.8 |
| March 21, 2001 | 1.85 |
TNA iMPACT! Ratings 2009 (Courtesy WrestlingNewsWorld.com)
- January 1: 1.0
- January 8: 1.1
- January 15: 1.2
- January 22: 1.1
- January 29: 1.2
- February 5: 1.1
- February 12: 1.2
- February 19: 1.3
- February 26: 1.3
- March 5: 1.3
- March 12: 1.2
- March 19: 1.3
- March 26: 1.3
And of course, the Monday turn has dropped TNA as low as a .50. So, we have a major company with scores of talent (though not nearly the overdone roster and guaranteed contracts as WCW at the time) getting a portion of the audience as 8 years before. TNA’s PPV buyrates are reportedly abysmal (and I don’t think they’re being reported officially at all).
But of all this, we still had some good times with Thunder, whether it be “crazy old grandpa” Ric Flair or the luchadors that were all over WCW in the day.
Whether TNA goes belly up, as some wager, or becomes prosperous, is there anything you can take away from Impact these days, even if you’re the only one watching?

While I haven’t had the fortune to attend a Penguins game at Mellon Arena, I have been a frequent visitor to the facility. I’ve attended for Marylin Manson, Green Day, and a great number of WWE shows, starting with my first house show in 1999. I’ve seen Unforgiven 2001 (Angle beating Steve Austin for the title), No Way Out (the only, thankfully, barbed wire steel cage match), and Armageddon 2007 (the coming of the Edge Heads!), and countless RAW and Smackdown tapings.
Tonight, I visit the place for perhaps the last time as WWE holds their last show there. An event that I hear is going to be giving a proper send off to the building with a video package and a special edition shirt.
It’s been interesting to see who holds this significant wrestling event over the Penguins playoff game tonight. And the lashback about the screen not being up for this show, but either way, the Sorgs will be attending another historical moment in that ol’ building.
Here’s to you, Mellon Arena…
