Instead of making a whole nother thread about vehicles, for the car heads out there, why do they still make new automobiles at all, or yearly, even, (or maybe just manufacture on demand/concepts), especially with worse gas mileage, instead if just making the new gadgets and parts for old cars (I know this is already an option), that would save you money, have less wasted resources and pollution, and put the insurance company on the other foot with total losses? Will there ever be enough cars, or is that not the point of them? There are surely plently of good used automobiles, or fixable ones, of all sizes, safe and upgradable to your whims, including kits to change shape; plus, the loans wouldn't be nearly as high. I know this is probably a stupid question to many, I just truly want to know the perspective of those with more knowledge in this field than myself. This is just something I had been thinking about in terms of not only conservation, but giving a little power back to car owners whom do what they can afford, but don't even recoup enough to buy a vehicle in an accident that isn't their fault. It sucks to have people tell your stuff is worthless, even if it was perfectly fine and well taken care of, and the only reason you don't get to have it is someone else messed up. This year has been rough...... Sincerely, VPV (the out of touch geezer )

That would be a tough call, but if a "talent share" would be possible, maybe no one would have to be cut. Each wrestler has their upsides and downsides. Avalon with Ray Rosas was a brilliant tag team on the indies, which provided one of the greatest cage tag matches I have ever seen (vs Rockness Monsters in CWFH). Evans and Angelico have proven their greatness in Mexico. Like someone above said, Janela may need to let loose a bit and go hardcore, and it could help him out. Sonny Kiss has some skills, but I feel like lucha matches would fit them better....maybe a loan to CMLL or AAA could work (maybe Mexico's Most Wanted could do a couple shows up here in exchange?)
I guess I am saying that they all had something good enough to bring them to the dance, might not want to bounce them for the pandemic based issues that they couldn't control.

Honestly, I don't get to collect figs as much anymore, but hope to pick it up again when money gets a little freer. I never caught much flack for this specific hobby, as I don't have hardly anyone to my house, but many many people think the majority of what I dig is weird, anyways, so it'll just be another one to add to the list.

Like others iterated, I just want my 02 honda accord back. I am saving money to put him back together after a truck smashed me in a 4 way stop. The money will be worth it to me. Other than that, find the smallest car you can, and I'd buy it.

Would have been the match of the year on history alone, but maybe it is good it didn't happen. They have "equal" status still, and are the loyal legends that we will never forget;yes, equal is relative to each perspective. That crowd would've lost it trying to figure out whom to cheer though, and that might have been interesting in its own right...could we have gotten a silent crowd like in Japan?

Final Battle Main Event is Rush vs Brody King Weird Main Event, I mean you get put in a tough spot but they go with the least over member of Villian Enterprises Could be really good though. Brody is a big man that can fly, and Rush, well, he is CMLL, so you know that greatness. Will it be power vs agility?

I'm old & I'm a crab. I only have CDs & cassette tapes. No vinyl. I don't have an Ipod, blue tooth, zanga, insta, facebook, myspace or any type of social media (other than this site). I agree with you 100%. If a band has a hit or gets some air time and I like it, I'll try to see what is available on hard format. Most of the time they say "Go download this app & get our music" or some other hoo-hah. No thank you. I know it's easier & cheaper for a band to put things on spotify or whatever is trending these days. I just don't want to "sign up, create an account, download, bla bla bla." When I was young, I bought the album. Then I updated to cassette. Then I updated to CD. I'll be damned if I'm going to update my whole collection again. If you go on tour, I'll buy a ticket to see you play. If you have CDs for sale, I'll buy one (or more), Hell, I might even buy a shirt or decal to give you advertising. With Covid, lots of bands are doing live streams. Gwar did one a few weeks ago. For $15, you got to see a show from every song from their "Scumdogs of the Universe" 30 year re-release. You also had the option to watch it how many times you wanted to for a week. Sounds like a great deal! Another band I follow (Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band) put on live performances from their cabin every month. They say "If you can spare any money, we'd appreciate it. If you can't, just enjoy the show." And they always play for over an hour, You can request songs with your donation & they usually do it. That's awesome. Great people. I think I rambled for a while. Let me recap: Put your damn music on every old format! Can we get you to be the president of the RIAA please? You, sir, the world needs more of. Much respect.

Hello all, As I have shown repeatedly, I am an oldschool physical media guy, which may make this a stupid question, but, does anyone else have a hard time calling a band, a real band, if they just release random songs, sporadically, and not at least an ep, if not a full album? I would say, for my standards, these need to be on some sort of physical disc or cassette, but even just put them out together on amazon for goodness sake. To me, I wouldn't go see a band that only has 3 songs to their name, as that wouldn't even wet the appetite. I want a band to put something together, a complete experience, something I can sink my teeth into; "bands" these days just don't do that. That one spotify song is all they need. Maybe I am just old and out of touch; err, older and out of the realm of sane. Ya, that's a better way of putting it. Anyhoo, does anyone else feel the same, and if not, tell me why. Grumpyoldman , I know you have an opinion I'd like to hear. Much respect. VPV

Had no idea Bateman made it to ROH. That dude has a cool gimmick, and progressed quite a bit in CWFH. Them Santino boys know how to train.

For those interested kris kloss has a YouTube podcast on the wrestling chatter channel called xtreme memories with past xpw personal.I've listened to three or four episodes recently great info and stories I recommend this channel for xpw fans. Thank you for this. I am still a fan of XPW, and enjoy hearing all the folks reminisce. Every part of me needs Larry Rivera to pop in with Kloss. His girly screams and chico!, still crack me up.

They beat the Vikings and get my hope up then this happens for the second time against a team that doesn't even have a name. Welp back to trying to get a top 5 pick. This has to fall on McCarthy a little bit. And maybe even Kellen Moore. Not saying the o-line breaking in half at the start of the game didn't have a part, but there were some straight up shenanigans that failed there. No SB this year, sadly.

In the NFL, would it work to run a full no huddle offense team like Baylor used to do in college, specifically to tire out the defense, or are the players too well conditioned for that scheme to work?

Happy Thanksgiving to all WF folks. I know this is a rough one for a lot of us, for many different reasons, but know you aren't alone in that feeling. May we all have some happiness today.

Can I please get Pac vs Kingston in a cage, in front of a full crowd? That would be a slobbernocker.
