Texas Pizzeria Received Negative Attention for Gory Promotional Display Riding the Wave of Netflix’s Jeffrey Dahmer Show
A Lubbock, Texas pizza place got some negative publicity recently for a promotion meant to cash in on the recent interest in Jeffrey Dahmer and his grisly crimes. The establishment, Capital Pizza ran their “Jeffrey Dahmer Special” which was a pizza topped with fake body parts and fake blood. It was meant as a display that could draw in viewers of the Netflix show. However, there were many customers who just weren’t with the promotion and felt that it was capitalizing on victims’ deaths and ignoring how their families feel about it. Texas Pizzeria Received Negative Attention for Gory Promotional…
Let’s dive into WWE Shotgun Saturday Night and its first episode for “First Month Fire.” This was a B-show or minor program that debuted in January 1997 and when I say that this was peak B-show stuff, I mean there’s a lot of talent that tends to sit below the midcard crew making up this show. Of course, it’s important to note that these minor shows were mainly used to further promote storylines and upcoming matches for PPV or the A-show: Monday Night RAW. These shows all took place at NYC night spots early on—not that it really added to…
In these drug seizures and busts, the action from CBP in the territories is often underreported.

Lucha Underground is a wrestling show I always look forward to rewatching. Even in the final season, it was still a fun show to watch as things were constantly developing and the underlying story of the company being involved in all kinds of illegal, dark, shady, supernatural stuff is awesome. It’s as if a wrestling company ran at the Titty Twister in From Dusk Till Dawn—another El Rey show. Episode three appears to be more of a story episode looking at the card. Let’s see how the matches stack up. The Undercard So, one pro of the undercard is…
Kenny Omega is a guy with more moves than you can shake a stick at, folks. We’re going look at his arsenal and pull four candidates for the DOOM Scale on this “Moves of Doom Monday.” V-Trigger The V-Trigger is a signature strike of Omega’s and to be 100-percent honest, this should be his finisher. This move is a flawless strike aimed at the head and jaw which instantly gets a thumbs up from me. In the Fire Pro Wrestling games this move would’ve been a Jumping Knee or a Running Knee Pat. Yes, “pat” was added to the move’s…

Bobby Lashley is a WWE superstar with an interesting career. He’s done wrestling then MMA then returned to wrestling where things just clicked for him. He’d found his character range and settled into what he could or should do in the ring—he just needed to put this new knowledge. Lashley’s program against Drew McIntyre in IMPACT Wrestling played a major role in this. It raises the question of why didn’t the first run in WWE work as it seemed it might. Initial WWE Run Lashley came into WWE in late 2005 and in the same form we see him now. Like…
Well, that was WCW SuperBrawl X…let’s get into WWE No Way Out 2000 and see if it tops WCW’s February offering.

The Undercard No Way Out 2000 had a solid opener as Kurt Angle defeated Jericho for the IC title. This match got enough room to groove with a little over ten minutes.
