Retired Ohio workers comp fraud investigator/special event director, sits front row at AEW events & 1992-2018 WWE events w/wife Jan as wrestling's Neon Couple.
Back then, I didn't listen to your Hotline much, nor did I search the net much. I got all my wrestling info from the Observer & I didn't get my printed Observer until Saturday's mail. I knew nothing about Bret when the fan approached us on Friday
Good morning @davemeltzerWON! Well, 28 yrs ago today something happened in wrestling, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Think maybe you might have written a paragraph or 2 about it in the Observer to help jog my memory?
The 1988 Auburn at LSU "earthquake" game. When LSU scored the winning TD in the final minute, the pop was so loud that it registered as an earthquake at the LSU Seismic Center on campus. That HAS to be the loudest ever...
Hi @davemeltzerWON. Nice piece by John Muse on Sabu. First met him Aug.1994 at Al Snow's Lima gym. We asked Dennis Corraluzzo if we could meet Sabu, so Dennis pulled Sabu into the hallway & took this photo. Sabu never forgot us, always calling us "his oldest friends Chris & Jan".
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @davemeltzerWON. Hope you & the family have big plans for today. You've been such a trusted & valued friend for all these years. May you celebrate many more birthdays. Best wishes from Chris & Jan!
Hey @youngbucks. My wife & I have a couple of unused ShopAEW gift cards ($25 apiece) we can let you have. You know, in case you need clothes or new ring gear. Wrestling's front row Neon Couple always offers to help out indy talent in need.
Hi @RealKevinNash. Since 2008, I've had 3 cardiac ablations & Jan 2. Our issues were severe, but neither of us have had a-fib since 2020. Your Neon Couple friends love & support you, and you will feel SO MUCH BETTER within 3-4 days after surgery. Much love from Chris & Jan!!
Is it just me, or is anyone else completely overdosed on ESPN ads for WWE'S Wrestlepalooza? I can't wait to completely ignore it, and enjoy AEW ALL OUT instead, immediately followed by college football!
Eric, your heart was in the right place. Many people knew the "house" you discussed, was both the # of fans in the building, and the "houses" that many wrestlers could build for their families, by being on shows that Hulk headlined. I'm sorry for your personal loss, and thanks.
Hi @davemeltzerWON. Your obit on Hogan is tremendous. Writing a thorough & complete obit on Hogan is 1 thing. But writing it in little more than 12 hours, is simply unbelievable. Thank you for sharing your skills with us, and thanks again for an incredible piece of journalism.
Hi @TonyKhan. Thank you for another great Dynamite. Very good matches, great promos, and stuff for Saturday & next Wednesday to look forward to. Thanks again...
Hi @davemeltzerWON. Why is the hard camera panned back so far? Makes the wrestlers look small, and all it really shows, is most of the ringside fans sitting down. Kills the aura of a big stadium event...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @RealKevinNash, from your long time Neon Couple friends! We've known you over 30 years, chatting about family, friends, Scott, surgeries, HBK & Montreal, and many other things. Can't wait to see you again at the next wrestling convention! Love from Chris & Jan!
Hi @TripleH. Sad to see your cheap attempt to hurt AEW by scheduling SNME head to head vs ALL IN. We see through it & rest assured we & other FORMER WWE FANS will watch All In and completely ignore more boring SNME & RAW & SD & NXT shows. You've lost us...TRY BOOKING BETTER SHOWS
