In honor of Halloween Gorefest, here is a short clip depicting a bloody feud from 1982. You can find longer versions of the scene on YouTube, but I distilled it down to focus on the selling and suffering.

Buddy Rose offers $5,000 to "Doctor D" David Schultz to join him in a Tag Team. To get his attention, Rose slaps Schultz across the face with the stack of bills. Schultz reacts violently, attacking Rose all over the studio and stealing the $5,000.

This leads to a grudge match (one of many) where both opponents end up wearing the dreaded Crimson Mask. This short clip offers a glimpse into the sleazy, brutal, and thrilling style of wrestling that had me spellbound (and quite turned on) 40+ years ago. It was just so inappropriate, and taboo, and masculine, and sexy -- under a veneer of realism. This wild, homoerotic violence did a number on my brain's turn-on triggers.

Director: Miller Bennett

A hidden gem from 2014 Steve Carrell plays the hopeless, spoiled, and unfulfilled philanthropist in this eerie drama. The true story of the manipulation of Olympic athletes that is layered with emotion and sadness. Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo give a spectacular performance when it comes to the mannerisms of the a the athletes they play, and live demonstration of ammeter wrestling. Definitely worth the watch.

The New York Post reports:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will be forced to open its books and reveal its sources of funding after a defamation suit it filed against a former employee completely backfired.  US Magistrate Judge David Schultz ruled Monday that CAIR’s donors, funding sources — potentially including foreign ones — and any assets owned by the group are all within the “scope of permissible discovery” as part of former chapter leader Lori Saroya’s lawsuit against the controversial Muslim rights group. 

What happened was that Saroya was a senior member of CAIR and even a member of its board of directors. She resigned from CAIR in 2018 and then started posting about how awful the organization is, accusing it of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, union busting, financial mismanagement, lack of board oversight, board incompetence, creating a hostile work environment, negatively portraying Muslims, making mistakes on legal cases, receiving foreign funding, and withholding money it owed her.

CAIR sued her for defamation. When the judge asked CAIR to amend the lawsuit to specify what she said that damaged the organization, CAIR dropped the case.

But then CAIR issued a press release accusing Saroya of cyberstalking, as well as claiming that the judge ruled in their favor before they dropped the case and that Saroya's lawsuit had no merit. In that press release, CAIR said the only reason it dropped the case was "Lori’s attorneys were using the discovery process to overwhelm our chapters, drain their resources, and even demand the names of CAIR supporters who have donated to us, among other private information that anti-Muslim groups have long wanted to acquire. We would never risk letting the community’s information fall into the hands of Lori or anti-Muslim groups. "

This opened the door for Saroya to sue CAIR - and, significantly, to force the group to open its books to see exactly what CAIR said it didn't want the world to see, where it gets its funding from, since CAIR accused her of lying about their getting money from known terror-linked organizations. 

It's also funny that CAIR is accusing Saroya of being anti-Muslim. There is a website set up by Muslims that discusses CAIR's ethical and legal lapses and general sketchiess.

This is going to be fun.

Scenes from the classic David Schultz vs. Sal Bellomo match featured in today's Saturday Scissor video. Now we get to see what happened after Dr. D escaped that Headscissor -- and it's not good for poor Salvatore!

if you're into those old-timey singlets (as I am), this match is a visual treat. Schultz actually defeats Bellomo with a basic Verical Suplex move, which emphasizes the jobber's utter vulnerability. How humiliating to lose the match to a mere Suplex!

In 1984, Dr. D would go on to aggressively slap a reporter across the face (twice) for asking him whether pro wrestling is fake. I recall when that happened and it both outraged and thrilled me - what a tough dominant mofo Real Man! However it immediately ended Dr. D's career in wrestling.

If Schultz would do THAT to a reporter just for asking dumb questions, imagine what he'd do to harm a jobber who locked on the Headscissor a bit too aggressively! Schultz's real life aggression helped me to believe, at some level, in the titillating danger and cruelty of pro wrestling, which only made me crave it more.

Marvel Comics Reveals "Venom War" Issues and Tie-Ins for August 2024

The Venom War is about to kick off with both Eddie and Dylan Brock vying to be the sole Venom host and past and present symbiote characters will be forced to pick a side. The Venom War has been building with Al Ewing's laying the groundwork in the current Venom run, but the war will spill out into it's own comic and tie-in comics / issues.

August will see the release of:

Venom War #1 (of 5) from Al Ewing and Iban Coello (on sale August 7, 2024) in which father and son Eddie Brock and Dylan Brock are both determined to be the one true Venom.

Venom #36 from Torunn Gronbekk and Cafu (on sale August 14, 2024) sees an older Dylan Brock - Old Man Venom - time travelling in order to guarantee the correct victor in the Venom War, with his first jump taking him into Spider-Man's history.

Venom War: Spider-Man #1 (of 4) from Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Greg Land (on sale August 14, 2024) puts Spider-Man back in the black suit. After all, Peter Parker was Venom's first host and maybe he is the best choice.

Venom War: Carnage #1 (of 3) from Torunn Gronbekk and Pere Pérez (on sale August 21, 2024) has Carnage rallying his own troops. His own plans may even involve that little "deadly-to-symbiotes weapon he discovered in CARNAGE #8."

Venom War: Venomous #1 (of 3) from Erica Schultz and Luciano Vecchio (on sale August 21, 2024) has Black Widow picking a side in the Venom War. Black Widow is looking into those "horrific experiments Alchemax has been running based on their symbiote program… but she isn’t the only one! Natasha’s old teammate from her Secret Avengers days, now known as Agent Anti-Venom, is also on the case!"

Venom War: Zombiotes #1 (of 3) from Cavan Scott and Juan José Ryp (on sale August 28, 2024) follows a new strain of symbiote that can reanimate the dead and change the living with just a bite. "That’s right—zombie symbiotes making symbiote zombies!"
