@ClistonBrown Quite a reasonable list. One can quibble with a ranking here or there, but the list seems as if legitimate thought went into it.

I have often been asked where I would rate certain presidents. So I sat down and reviewed the top achievements of all 43 men who served in the office for longer than six months. If they had a major scandal or failure, I dropped them a bit. Here’s how I ended up rating them: (1/)

@sharkincrisis Clearly, you are overturning the misconception of sharks as cold-blooded killers. Tomorrow, I'm going to go into the ocean and give a shark a big hug!

@CCMilani Kudos to Adrian for not using the phrase "let me tell you something," but points must be deducted for saying "daddy" twice.

When I first started getting newsletters I was appalled when I read re: the East-West Connection "Jesse did the talking & Adrian did the wrestling", since Adonis was great on the stick. That said, the first time he opened his mouth...he was from New York like I'm from Bakersfield
Kris Zellner@KrisZellner
Adrian Adonis talking about how he would become the King of New York if he beat Bob Backlund at MSG in January 1982 is so damn good Adonis was a promo master in the early 80's...

@sharkincrisis I would just play the Jaws theme and have your dorsal fin stick out, just to play with them

@sharkincrisis You have enough stress from never getting any sleep. You do not need paparazzi in your life, either.

@sharkincrisis Clearly, after watching this clip, you are a shark with an honor code. Your parents raised you well.

@dgriffinchess Google search Edward Winter and Facts About Larry Evans and that should get you right there.

@GentlemanTB Thanks, I didn’t know that. Will need to look it up!

Havana 1952. The tournament lasted from 24th February until 20th March.
Those were the days.
English
@sharkincrisis Nonsense. In this picture, I see a shark who wants a hug, not a meal.
English
@sharkincrisis It's great that you're always trying to be a better you.

@dgriffinchess Also the arbiter of the 1974 Candidates Final Karpov-Korchnoi.

Apparently, O'Kelly was descended from John O'Kelly, an Irish-born British army officer who served in what was then the Austrian Low Countries in the early 18th century.
His full name was Albéric Joseph Rodolphe Marie Robert Ghislain O'Kelly de Galway (!).
English
Born 115 years ago today in Anderlecht, Belgium - Albéric O'Kelly (1911-1980).
He gained the grandmaster title in 1956, & was arbiter at both (1966 & 1969) Petrosian v. Spassky World Championship matches.

Getting ready for my niece’s graduation at SMU. Just like her uncle 33 yrs ago 😎

@philthyrobbo @BrianRSolomon He wrote PMA when he autographed my copy as well.
English
@BrianRSolomon One of my favourite autographs, "Never Capitulate". Enjoyed reading his book too.

God bless him. One of the greatest of all time. And could still probably stretch 90% of today's active wrestlers with ease.

Bob Backlund’s neighbor shared this photo taken today and wanted fans to know something that feels very Bob Backlund… Bob still makes it to the local pool three days a week — without fail. Good days, bad days, doesn’t matter. And maybe the most Bob Backlund part of all? He’s still living PMA — Positive Mental Attitude — every day.
English
@BrianRSolomon @BooDaddyBen1 Second part is correct, as confirmed in Backlund's autobiography. The first part is inaccurate- Backlund said Vince Sr. told him they were going to put the belt on Sheik and asked Bob for an idea for a finish.
English
@BooDaddyBen1 You’re not wrong, although my understanding is he did not want to lose the title to Hogan, or to turn heel as Vince originally pitched to him.
English
@BookProWrestler God Bless Bob Backlund! Had the pleasure of meeting him at a book signing in Connecticut, and he wrote PMA when he signed his name.

@CCMilani @BostonNooga Fair enough, but please do not look at the great week Devers just had.
English
@BostonNooga Except the Red Sox, who don't have to pay this already declining non-superstar some SUPERSTAR money until the end of the 2033 season. That contract was a mangy dog with fleas.

The trade that went terribly for everyone

The San Francisco Giants are trying to offload Rafael Devers contract. Per: @BNightengale 👀

@MignosiGeorge @CWBreakfastClub That's an historical marker, not a tomb.

Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson died on this date in 1863 in this small white house at Guinea Station on Woodford, VA

You can only have five wrestlers in the Top 5.
Bite-Sized Nostalgia@landofthe80s
So Sports Illustrated ranked the Top 20 Greatest WWE Superstars of all-time...and not surprisingly their list is waaay off. To have Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper and Bret Hart to name a few, out of the top 5 is ridiculous. #1 Stone Cold Steve Austin #2 Hulk Hogan (should be #1) #3 The Rock #4 John Cena #5 Roman Reigns Who is your top 5?
