Corpus Christi Sept 16, 1953. Jack Irwin is Ed McLemore's promoter in Corpus Christi during the Texas Rasslin' War. Moolah was a hit in Texas which may have extended the war. Corpus Christi was the one town where both promotions did well. Irwin had big crowds throughout. He got screwed in the end.

Trump Rages at Bad Bunny—and Accidentally Exposes a Big MAGA Weakness
MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.

When my worlds collide, Dec. 27, 1955, Dallas Sportatorium: Otto Kuss vs Tommy Phelps, loser cannot work in Dallas for two months. I think Kuss wins, as he often did in these ref vs ref battles.

From the things I find file ... : The two-graph story worth thousands of words. This is from the Wichita Falls Record on Oct. 30, 1953. TIL cards like this were common in the 1930s to 1950s era in (wait for it) Texas and the Deep South.

Seriously. I am watching a 1978 match between Dale Valentine (aka Buddy Roberts) and Cowboy Bob Ellis. Ellis is 49 here, still has all his hair, and has Vaquero on the backside of his trucks.

Gun rights advocates have long argued that the 2nd Amendment would serve as a check on an authoritarian government. But now that there are indeed “jack-booted government thugs” and “masked, massively armed mobs of screaming, swearing agents” attacking Americans, the NRA seems rather quiet. 3/5🧵

I am not finding the stuff I seek today but the stuff I am finding is 🔥 TIL Lawman Don Slatton had a good relationship with the Abilene Reporter-News. And also a bail bond company. Look at his 1980 good press! Classified ad is from 1981.

For those in the broader BlueSky community, this man showed up in Mexico City wearing an ABOLISH ICE shirt on international television, and then he and the AEW community raised over $30K for families affected by ICE raids. ❤️✊

BlueSky exclusive. The Houston Wrestling annuals project has been updated. The first 80% as 1972 takes the lead, 77 shoots up the charts with a bullet and the 80s start representing. Also, too, I have a lot of doubles to sell if anyone wants a look before Ebay.
