More Sydney Fireball Footage!

As more people hear about the fireball over Sydney on the weekend, they’ll go back and check their security cam footage. They might see something in there!

This was the case of Insta user Samakazi - her camera caught the fireball too!

I was out walking around the village late last night (around 00.31 EEST this morning) when I saw a bright fireball cross the sky from south west to north east. If anyone in Finland or Sweden saw something last night, do report it here: fireballs.imo.net/members/imo/
so the reports can be amalgamated and combined.

Here’s mine:

Hey poozers! Do ya' like this picture? Do ya' wish you had a watermark-free higher quality version without text that you could use as a meme template?

Superheroes an' Honor Guard on the coffee site in my bio have access to that right now! It's less than the cost of a latte a month, an' it keeps this page goin'!

In a comic panel Absolute Wonder Woman, her red eyes wide, rests her ridiculously large sword on her shoulder and says, "You mean we can eat the rich?!" A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".

While @Leighton was driving, we both witnessed from #Melbourne a fireball meteor on January 28. Due to being on the road, we didn't have good enough direction info to make a report. I recall I looked at my watch and it was 2057 local time (AEDT), during local twilight. But apparently enough people had info to report and AMS eventually posted it. It had to be one of the longest-lasting meteors I've seen. fireball.amsmeteors.org/member #asteroid #meteor #fireball #astronomy #LowFlyingRocks #Australia

Slowly making progress on my game. It’s called Oops, All Fireballs. About a somewhat silly wizard ridding local towns of sorcerers and goblins and such. With fireballs!

I doubt it’ll be very good since it’s my first game. But I’m hopeful someone else will enjoy it — when I make changes, I usually play through it and I usually actually have fun with it!

Now, normally I would just do one of these entries a day as a daily journal of sorts. I already did a check-in post a few hours ago, but something came to my attention a few moments ago I feel I really want to talk about now, before I forgot. It's about a moment in pro wrestling history that indirectly yet strongly influenced not just what wrestling shows I would watch, but how it helped keep me a wrestling fan to this very day and beyond. This event took place 36 years ago this day, on 2/28/87. On an NWA card from Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP, for short), the Midnight Express faced Barry Windham and Ronnie Garvin for the NWA U.S. Tag Team Championship. During the match, Jim Cornette, the Midnight Express' manager, "threw a fireball" at Ronnie Garvin (in actuality, he set off flash paper) and burned him. It was very controversial but it upped the stakes in subsequent matches between Ronnie Garvin and the Express.

Here's the thing... I never even knew it took place for several years after it occurred. I wasn't even watching the NWA at the time so I had no clue it happened. Now, how could something I knew nothing of at the time influence and affect me so strongly? Well, that answer lies in the aftermath of the "cosmic fireball" as the Midnight Express' Dennis Condrey called it. Ronnie Garvin's brother Jimmy Garvin (actually his stepson in real life) was a bad guy, a heel, at that time whereas Ronnie was a good guy, a face. In light of what happened, Jimmy came to the aid of Ronnie and, after getting Ronnie to the locker room area, attacked Jim Cornette in the heel locker room. Jimmy did what's called a face turn, turning from bad guy to good guy, as a result of what happened.

For me, the Jimmy Garvin face turn was one of the most important events in my wrestling fandom history. Like I noted earlier, I didn't even see it at the time. I didn't start watching any NWA stuff until around May or June of 1987, a few months after the fireball. I was watching WWE (then WWF) primarily but I was getting a bit disillusioned with it some time after WrestleMania 3, especially when Ricky Steamboat lost the WWE Intercontinental Title to the Honky Tonk Man about a month after WM 3. I started looking around for any other programming (not just wrestling...I had a wandering eye) and came across NWA wrestling. I was really confused watching it at first as my knowledge of wrestling came from WWE at the time so the only thing I recognized at first was the in-ring product. I had no idea who Ric Flair was or Dusty Rhodes or the Four Horsemen or the Road Warriors or any of the storylines. I was especially confused as Ric Flair was getting cheered even though he was a heel. The thought of cheering a bad guy never entered my mind before then so I was obviously a bit discombobulated.

Jimmy Garvin had been a face for a few months at that point in the NWA and came across obviously as a good guy, which I couldn't really tell in regard to other wrestlers I had seen. He became my "North Star" in figuring out the face-heel dynamics of the promotion. That didn't just help me stick around in watching the NWA. It opened my eyes to a much bigger wrestling world, with depth in storytelling, in-ring action, and a realism that wasn't present in the WWE then. Specifically, Jimmy Garvin's feuds with Ric Flair and Kevin Sullivan set the tone for a lot of my future viewing of pro wrestling as a whole. The NWA ultimately opened me up to other promotions like the USWA, a bit of the AWA on ESPN (lots of repeats that still run today on one of ESPN's secondary channels), GLOW, the USWA, Global, WCW post NWA, ECW...the list goes on. I've talked about Ricky Steamboat in the past as the talent who initially hooked me into wrestling, but Jimmy Garvin was the guy who kept me hooked...and all due to a cosmic fireball I never saw.

On that note, I bid you all adieu...again. Thank you for reading. I hope to see you again real soon. Until next time, folks, this is ya boy DJ sayin' take care, God bless, and I...am...outta here. Goodbye, everybody.
