Why Not Actually Having a Funny Car 64 Again?

I feel like for as much as we'd have King County be in no position to host the Western Swing this Year, I would feel like having to see after the US Nationals Next Season having a Funny Car 64 Again. I would start with Top 10 Mello Yello Points Standings, then go to Top 10 Lucas Oil Points Standings and then have the Top 10 as of the Prior Weekend the Funny Car Nostalgia Standings.

I would go down the board that having Top 10 in IHRA Funny Car Standings, Top 10 in Funny Car Chaos Standings, Top 10 in ANDRA Funny Car Standings and Top 10 in FIA Funny Car Standings. I don't know if reviving the Funny Car 64 would be fun, but, I would think more than likelier it would have to be the Top 10-20 in Each Series just to consider even making the trek across the World.

I feel like having to see a carrot Points Race where it would have to be 10 Points Per Qualifying Pass and I would go more up to 10 if it is a National Record or 20 Points in their Series Standings if it is a World Record.

Raceday, it would be 20 Points Per Round Win and None Per Round Loss and I would think that having the 64 in the Funny Car 64 would be a Multi-Day Affair like a National Event. I would think that anything, the points swing would go the other way if it was Demerits or Other Problems like Incomplete Runs or Oil Downs.

I would be more than happy to Jump on Double or Nothing Before Any Wrestlemanias if the Fan Reservation and Attendance Options Came Back

I feel like Vince McMahon is not really interested in Stock Holders the same as his ratchet paranoia. I would feel that the Stockholder Options are not real good, and if Undertaker on NXT became an option, I would think NXT would be as bad as WWE ECW and not just ECW ECW. I am not aware that the talent pushes the same from Ring Of Honor and having to be in Sinclair's Prison and New Japan is robust, and those guys saw the light when Saudi Arabia tried to hold the WWE Superstars for Hotel Bill when they tried to check out.

I would be more than happy to book my Hotel Suite and Tickets and Jump on the Flight to Las Vegas for AEW's Double or Nothing and a lot of fans would do that if that came available. What is obvious, even in post form, is Vince McMahon would likelier to consolidate NXT and Smackdown, which it's Weekly Series Premiere would be 21 Years This Month and I feel FOX would have second thoughts about giving that much money even to Arena Promoters.

To be frank, Mr. Tony Khan would not have much of a choice either January or Fall of 2021 in having to take on the Monday Night Wars all over again. I would think my first impression, unlike Cornette, would be having to think the People's Federation again.

Where the WWE is crashing and trashing out is Fans are not interested, and no amount of Brock Lesnar Steroid Runs would change that. It is smashingly hypocritical that getting anyone from Canada is Soured because of BOTH Owen Hart and Chris Benoit, and UK was a Bad Deal and you'd have problems rocking New Wembley (Which is 20 Years Old, and not the Punch The Sky Wembley Queen Rocked) because of Father's Day and all those Boners that got in trouble with the law.

I feel the kicks have been out of Japan and we'd lose out appetite having to pick in lieu because WWE has got the Wrong Japanese Heroes and AEW, if it was touring, would have a more solid 2nd Road Show.


08012020 College Football Preseason Poll

I will start out with my 1st College Football Poll of the 2020 Season, and I have iteriated that I will always be on time either the end of the day or the next day with game day mock ups. I feel the biggest non-negotiable this year I have taken upon myself is having a mock up slate, because I did not want to just write and rewrite schedules more than actually planning White Whale or Annual Games, which analog College Football is going in that direction this year. I'd state it would be a Fall Season to Fall Season Slate and without further ado, here is my 1st Poll of the Season.
