Preceded by: (1) Dave's 1989 appearance on "Later with Bob Costas," where both Dave and Bob discuss their boyhood love of professional wrestling; (2) Dave incorporating one of both his and Bob's favorite wrestling personality description to his introduction to a Will Lee performance; and (3) Dave introducing Bobby "The Brain" Heenan in the Radio City Music Hall audience during Late Night's 6th anniversary special, aired February 4, 1988. 1.

Richard "Dick the Bruiser" Afflis. With Edie McClurg as Mrs. Marv Mendenhall. Dave's particular affinity with the phrase "The World's Most Dangerous ___" took root with Dick the Bruiser's moniker. It then continued during Dave's college years when he wanted to promote fellow Ball State student Mike Little, then known as "Fatty No Neck," as "Iron Mike, the World's Most Dangerous Human." (Source: _ The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi_ by Jeff Lewis, as quoted in Cincinnati CityBeat, Vol. 3, Issue 39; August 14-20, 1997.) The phrase finally took hold when Dave referred to Paul Shaffer's Late Night ensemble as The World's Most Dangerous Band,

David Marquez confirmed that he would not be returning to the NWA, as he was not invited back for the next series of tapings.
How do you NOT, invite him back? That's dumb as hell.
How do you NOT bring back a guy who helped get the current NWA over by featuring it on his own promotion's shows? Helped bring credibility to, the NWA and is known as a 'voice' of the current NWA?
Pretty fucking stupid, Pretty fucking stupid, indeed.

On this edition of Eastern Championship Wrestling, Sabu defends the ECW World Television Championship against The Tazmaniac in the main event. Shane Douglas partners with ECW Tag Team Champions The Public Enemy to take on Terry Funk, Kevin Sullivan, and Crash in a Six-Man Tag Team Match. All this and much more!
Kenny Omega is a God of pro Wrestling? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh wait, Callis was serious? LMAO! Always nice to see owners and bookers like D'Amore, Callis and Tony Khan, who have 'go away' heat, think they should be on TV.
This was good and solid, until Don Callis came out.
I don't know where the 'emotion' was at cause it really wasn't in THIS match.
What WAS in this match was a whole bunch of no 'selling', or horribly bad 'selling', Sammy gets hit with a cutter outside the ring, hits face first to the floor and no blood? HHHHMMM. If anyone on the face of the earth smacked a floor face first, there'd be blood or a bruise, but not in professional wrestling, LOL.
Little logic like this goes far, but obviously this era's wrestlers seem to go far to make sure logic doesn't matter anymore.
And the obviously piped in fan cheers don't help make this, any more 'emotional', either.

Can they make it any more obvious that they're gonna get Gored? Turn and walk riught into it? That's as predictable as a rerun.

GCW ANNOUNCES PURCHASE OF JERSEY CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING
NEW JERSEY, MARCH 14, 2021 - Game Changer Wrestling today announced the purchase of the rights to the Jersey Championship Wrestling (JCW) brand and video library from their original owner, Ricky O.
Effectively immediately, Game Changer Wrestling promoter Brett Lauderdale will be reviving JCW, the lineal predecessor to GCW, with a relaunch event on May 1, 2021 at the Showboat in Atlantic City, NJ at 3 PM, joining Game Changer Wrestling's "Ashes to Ashes" for a doubleheader. JCW’s return will be broadcast LIVE and FREE on YouTube.
Partnering with Lauderdale on the Jersey Championship Wrestling revival is Adam Abdalla, President of New York-based arts & entertainment marketing agency Cultural Counsel and publisher of Orange Crush: The Journal of Art & Wrestling.
Jersey Championship Wrestling, which rebranded as Game Changer Wrestling in 2015, was a breeding ground for such stars as Joey Janela, Chris Dickinson, Santana, Ortiz and many more. The relaunched JCW, like the original, will bring together the best young independent stars in the Tri-State area with their counterparts from around the country.
“GCW has developed a reputation for finding the ‘next’ big independent wrestling stars and introducing them to a national audience. This is something I am passionate about, and take a lot of pride in,” said GCW owner Brett Lauderdale. “Before GCW was GCW, it was JCW, and through its landmark event The Jersey J-Cup, numerous careers were made, changing the game for so many talented performers. As indie wrestling gears up for its return in 2021, I am proud to lead a team of motivated and passionate people that will bring JCW back and provide a platform for a generation of hungry young talents.”
Talent announcements for May 1st will be made over the next few weeks.

Andrade asked for his WWE release earlier this week, but was denied. He asked for his release at the Raw tapings this past Monday and even though the WWE hasn't used the guy, they won't let him go work somewhere else. If that isn't one of the DUMBEST things I ever heard.
If you're not using the guy, or even pushing him, they why the fuck are you morons keeping him?
The fact that wrestlers aspire to work for a company that has this kind of dipshit mentality, really does amaze me.
The 31-year-old has not been on WWE TV in over five months, last seen losing to Angel Garza in a match back in October. Afterward, he was taken out by The Fiend. Prior to disappearing off TV, he teamed regularly with Garza before their team split up.
Gotta love how a guy can go up and say something like "Hey, since you guys haven't used me in several months, how about just releasing me"? And the company just goes "NNAAA".
Only a fucking moron thinks this kind of logic is 'brilliant' (rolls eyes).

ACW UNDERGROUND ASSAULT 22: Shane Douglas vs Larry D-ACW Heavyweight Title Match The Franchise Shane Douglas collides with Legendary Larry D-and the ACW Heavyweight Championship hangs in the balance!
God forbid AEW would have the balls to step up, and admit they fucked up.. That would make 'way too much sense', don't you know.
Instead? We get this.. Lame cop out that NOBODY, is buying, even if it was on sale at the dollar store, nobody would buy this line of lame, weak ass bullshit.
Southern Professional Wrestling (March 11th, 1987) Broadcast Date - March 15th, 1987 Hosts - Stan Rhoads & Coach John Heath Comments from Barry & Kendall Windham 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair Promo The Southern Boys vs The New Breed Comments from The Southern Boys Interview with JJ Dillon/Lex Luger/Arn Anderson/Tully Blanchard Luger/Anderson/Blanchard vs Ryder/Steamboat/D'Amato Comments from Kevin Sullivan Gordon Solie Interviews Bad News Allen Kevin Sullivan vs Jason Sterling Mike Rotunda vs Bob Cook Comments from Ron Simmons & Mike Rotunda Nikita Koloff vs Jack Hart Comments from Dusty Rhodes & Nikita Koloff Stan Lane & Scott Hall vs Chick Donovan & Jack Towers Comments from Sir Oliver Humperdink & Ed Gantner The Barbarian & Ed Gantner vs Jim Backlund & Black Magic
I saw the ending and it was as bad and lame as the exploding barbed wire match that Terry Funk and Cactus Jack had in IWA Japan many years ago.
Now.. There's no way anyone in AEW can defend being called a lame ass wrestling company. Right now they're as big a laughingstock as Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling was.
Congrats, it's well deserved that AEW is a laughingstock of the wrestling world now.
AEW World Champion Kenny Omega was reportedly angry after last night’s Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch main event at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view.
As noted, last night’s match saw Omega retain his title over Jon Moxley. After the match, the 30-minute timer kept counting down to a full explosion of the ring area. Moxley was still down in the ring, with Eddie Kingston covering him to potentially save him from the explosion. It was expected that the timed explosion would be this huge, grand blast, but it was a dud. The lackluster explosion led to a significant amount of negative feedback on social media.
Omega was said to be “furious” at the finale, according to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live. No other details were provided, but Omega was not happy with how the ending went down. (I bet he was, I JUST BET, he was, hahahahahahaha.. That's what you get for trying something you're obviously not qualified enough to do, dipshits).
On a related note, AEW is apparently trying to keep clips of the dud blast off social media. They made several DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedowns on Twitter accounts today, with most, if not all, of the DMCA requests being for clips that were from the main event. AEW usually allows accounts to post GIFs from matches, and in the past they have said GIFs will be safe from DMCA requests.
Here's a link to the weak ending.. Hopefully it won't be pulled because Tony Khan is so embarrassed knowing he's a joke in Wrestling now. https://twitter.com/i/status/1368837062997204995
