Finding a goal for 2017
This weekend I’ve been thinking a lot about what should be my ‘goal’ for 2017. Last year, I set the target as “Perform in 52 improv shows in 52 weeks”. I kept a spreadsheet and in the end, I did 53 shows - a little over half were Jesters Comedy Improv and the others were mostly split between Minnesota Snow Job one-offs and All In/Deconstruction ( Read more... ) -

Mookie's 2013 Awards
As we crawl towards the end of the year, it's time to throw out some nominations for the "Best of the year" for a number of categories.
Historically, I would sift through the WBER Best of 2013 Countdown Options via Youtube playlist and select my favorite songs. (see 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012 examples) but I just didn't manage to do that ( Read more... ) -

JCP/WCW guys that weren't in WWF
I was going through my JCP/WCW 1983-2001 files and cross-referencing people my WWWF/WWF/WWE 1970-2012 data.
These were the people that had 100+ JCP/WCW matches but I didn't find any records for WWF events. I tried to grab all of the less obvious name changes (for instance, Tom Zenk's partner Johnny Gunn = Salvatore Sincere a.k.a. Tom Brandi in WWF ( Read more... ) -
Analysis: Taped vs Live RAW (2000-2013)
Since there's been the whole hullabaloo about whether being taped delayed affects the RAW rating in 2013, I decided to take a stab at the question.
I started with a dataset of RAW from 2000 to 2013 (about 693 weeks RAWs)..
This was the list of TAPED RAWs that I came up with:
