  8. WWE RAW 1/6/13 – OLD SCHOOL!

    1 Comment

    So, you guys know the deal – I usually watch 30 minutes of RAW, leave for work, and review the rest of this show in real time as I watch it.  Well, due to inclement weather here in Buffalo, I find myself sitting at home right now, having watched all but 30 minutes of RAW.  I went out to catch my bus to work, but although the local bus company insists that their buses were all running on time today, mine never showed up.  At the time I left, it was 11 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -20.  As I type this, it’s 1 with a wind chill of -32.  So, if you can’t tell, IT’S FUCKING COLD OUTSIDE!  So, I called my boss, told him I couldn’t make it in, then came home and watched the rest of Old School RAW.  Afterward, I did some DDP Yoga, so I’m here now to actually review the whole show.  Let’s go!

    I watch 30 minutes of RAW, freeze my ass off waiting for a bus that never shows up, and then come home and watch the rest of RAW.  That’s how this particular RAW review works.   It’s only getting colder!

  10. Chief Jay Strongbow passes away

    Leave a Comment

    For nearly four years now, I’ve been blogging about professional wrestling right here on BoredWrestlingFan.com.  In that time, I’ve seen countless professional wrestlers pass away, but I’ve very rarely ever felt the need to get on the computer and write about it, other than maybe a “RIP So-and-so” status on my personal facebook.  Today, however, I felt inspired by the passing of one Chief Jay Strongbow.

    When you’re a wrestling fan for a long enough time, there are names that, whether you’d actually seen them compete or not, you know.  Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Captain Lou Albano, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ric Flair, Steve Austin, to name a few.  Chief Jay Strongbow is one of those.  I can’t honestly say that I’ve seen a Chief Jay Strongbow match in my life, but I know the name.  I know the legacy.  How big of a name in professional wrestling was Chief Jay Strongbow?  Here’s a quote from the 1999 Adam Sandler film, “Big Daddy.”

    “He taught me how to do the sleeper hold like Chief Jay Strongbow.”

    My only real experience seeing Chief Strongbow with my own eyes was in a ceremony done on WWF Superstars with Tatanka, when Strongbow presented him a feather headdress that was destroyed a few weeks later by Irwin R. Schyster.  But I’d known the name for a long, long time.  Our condolences to his friends and family.
