 Someone who had the most epic feuds in wrestling in the 80's was Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. In 1986, Randy Savage hit him with the bell which damaged his larynx in his throat which took time to recover. He returned on a Saturday Night Main Event episode and it was a set up for a classic battle in WrestleMania III match which had to stole the show. Afterwords, Ricky the Dragon Steamboat was the winner of the Intercontinental Championship. He later lost it to the Honkey Tonk Man. This was not the end of Ricky Steamboat. However, he never won the WWE then WWF Heavyweight Championship. Hulk Hogan was the man for this then. If not him there was Randy Savage. I always resepected the IC Belt. To me it wasn't just a throw away belt. It was well respected.  Next Ricky the Dragon Steamboat appeared back in the WCW which was then the National Wrestling Alliance. I remember my family and I just got cable and it was a Saturday 6:05 PM on TV. I started watching WCW because it was on cable.

  Teams of the 1980's that I remember that everyone wanted to follow suit were The Road Warriors. Demolition wanted to be like them. The Powers of Pain wanted to be like them. And even now a days the Acolytes wanted to be like them. Even though there were imitators, there was only one original and which never could be duplicated and that was The Road Warriors.  The Road Warriors dominated professional wrestling in the 1980s going through the AWA and the National Wrestling Alliance. They had classic feuds with The Midnight Express and The Steiner Brothers and they sided with Dusty Rhodes against Ric Flair and the 4 Horsemen.  Then they came over to the then WWF to feud with The Hart Foundation and to destroy the imitators Demolition who were about to disband at the time. And when The Hart Foundation feuded with The Legion of Doom, The Road Warriors it was a battle of who would be the best team in wrestling. The Hart Foundation were up there as one of the greats and The Road Warriors

During The Fall Harvest 2021 Blog I discuss about all that has been produced by The Joseph Evaldi Brand or with our society, but lets face the facts we are struggling like everybody due to the Pandemic. When we are spending $50 to $60 a time when we eat out we have to deal with inflationary prices in the stores and rent needs to be paid.  Let's face the facts this world is in a shit situation right now. People are broke and worst they may not have a Social Security because it may be gone by 2033 I read. Also, the world is more than a trillion + dollars in debt. Somebody is getting the money, while the world suffers. Not to mention the shortages everywhere and the gas prices are through the roof now.  Like I said, I wish I had better news to share, it is expensive to live especially when you can't afford it. The CEO's of the Companies make a lot and even if they admit it or not, there is a problem and we need their help. Reagan's trickle down economics doesn't work a

  This is the time of year that I enjoy the most and that is Fall. I enjoy this time of year not only for the change of season, but my Annual Harvest Blog. It is a time of year where I discuss a little bit about the season and discuss how I have grown during the year. First let me let you know what we have been working on during the course of the Summer.  Thanks to my help of Sierra Bliss. We have been working on a project that will soon be revealed once it is completed. It is very exciting to say the least and I will keep everyone informed on what it is very soon.  Also, we have been working hard in The Joseph Evaldi Network Studios. I have stuck with Spreaker for the remainder of the Contract. We also have our site on Patreon.com where we are providing Podcasts for people who are interested in what we have to offer.  In the Summertime, we launched a new podcast that is on Patreon. The season will later be available in the archives. It is called: "Improving Your Mental Health.&qu

 A wrestler that I respected and loved growing up was the Iron Sheik. Maybe it was the promo I don't know, but he was well hated. Why love a hated wrestler? Years later I feel it was the ultimate sacrifice he made the day he fought Hulk Hogan. Already a war was ready to break out over Iran and the USA and it was January 1984. There was hostility in the Country and there would have been a riot had The Iron Sheik had beat Hulk Hogan that day. Iron Sheik lost that day in January 1984. And he may have had many against him in Iran that day as he lost and let his Country down. He went through hostility towards his life, but he went through great suffering that many didn't understand.  He made a sacrifice for America and the world that day. A day that pitted and symbolized two countries at war against each and they settled it by fighting each other one on one in a match where Hulk Hogan broke out of the camel clutch won the belt and took the weight of that championship and carried it.

 Bobby "The Brain" Heenan was quick witted with his mouth and he was a great heel. He also was a great Manager to put the other wrestlers over. Without Bobby the Brain Heenan, Hulk Hogan may have not got the fame that he did. Bobby was also known as the Wiesel in situation. He Wieseled out a lot of situations. Bobby knew how to sell and he was a great performer even if he didn't like being called The Wiesel.  The then WWF highlighted this moment by a video that signified the legacy of Bobby the Brain Heenan's Legacy and of The Ultimate Warrior's Legacy. The Ultimate Warrior was feuding with Ravishing Rick Rude and Bobby was an opponent of The Ultimate Warrior. The Ultimate Warrior goated Bobby into a match to humiliate him. Bobby being Bobby knew that this match would sell and Bobby being Bobby put out a great performance none other.  Bobby lost a lot of great matches and won a few, but nothing can put a price on his contributions to wrestling. He may have not won

Have you ever walked into a house or an apartment where it looked like the Sistine Chapel. Well that isn't me. I am not one of those people. And if you are like me when you walk into a place like that, you are like me and you feel real bad and you feel like crap about yourself. Well don't feel bad, they are probably minimalists. Well I am a product of the eighties and I don't live in a place like that with my own doing. In the 1980's, if you are in your 40's, we were either bought stuff or when we had money, we rand sacked the stores in the 1990's and 2000's because we worked. And then if you are like me, you  had to pay credit card debt's off from buying too much. However, I am a work in progress as many of us.  Well if your house is not perfect like others don't fret, maybe you could sell stuff, but I am going to give you tips on what I am trying to do to get my place like that.
