It’s Monday and that means it’s time for some Moves of Doom! This time we’re looking at Yokozuna. This might be light work but let’s see how devastating his moves of doom were. Savate Kick This is an Anoa’i family trademark along with the headbutt, the flying splash, and the Samoan Drop. To me, it’s more impressive when the heavier Samoans pop the savate kick because it’s always clean. Rikishi had a clean savate kick as did Yokozuna. As far as how devastating his kick was, usually he did it standing but if this thing connected when someone was coming…

“Release the Entire Notebook”: Gabby Petito Family Lawyer Wants the Whole Thing Released – Claims “There’s Some Pretty Extreme Things” In Letter from Roberta Laundrie
Another interesting update on the death of Gabby Petito is that a lawyer representing her parents—Pat Reilly—wants more evidence released. We touched on both Brian Laundrie’s admission of killing Gabby as well as his plans and actions afterward but Reilly believes something is fishy here and he would speak with WFLA Tampa about his suspicions. “Release the Entire Notebook”: Gabby Petito Family Lawyer Wants the Whole Thing Released – Claims “There’s Some Pretty Extreme Things” In Letter from Roberta Laundrie Steve Bertolino, the Laundrie’s lawyer, released eight pages from Brian Laundrie’s notebook on June 24, 2022. He says there’s more…
Looking at the Brian Laundrie confession letter, the admission of killing Gabby Petito is definitely the major thing. After all, he claimed to have killed her out of mercy as “she was in extreme pain” after taking a nasty fall while trying to get back to their car at night. Of course, that’s Laundrie’s version of events. What Were Brian Laundrie’s Plans After Killing Gabby Petito? We went into the meat of the confession—which was transcribed by WFLA’s Heather Monahan–but what was Brian’s plan afterward? He strangled Gabby because he claimed she was in too much pain and it would’ve…
We haven’t visited the Wrestling Salvage Yard in a while! This time we’re going to see where Andrew “Test” Martin could’ve been salvaged or rather if he was even salvageable. Test came in during the Attitude Era of WWE and was presented as a bodyguard for Motley Crue. Test in WWE It was 1998 and Motley Crue we’re still around. They definitely weren’t as hot an act as they were during the 80s but Generation Swine had dropped the year prior and would go on to gold status, so they were a solid act for WWE to associate with at…
I asked a question earlier in the week about whether Ric Flair should’ve just announced his retirement match in the fall and held in December 2022. That would mark 50 years of being in the business—the majority of it as an active wrestler. Then I hit a problem: “If he announced it in the spring and scheduled it for the end of the year, that’s enough time for tickets to be canceled. Hell, anything could’ve happened in that time.” Maybe Ric Flair Could’ve Done a Retirement Tour Like the Hulkamania Tour It’s definitely an issue but the following presented a…
