Backbone Wrestling Network, Welcome to the Ice Palace for this episode of Linking Up Luchas!

Borg? Sounds Swedish....Definitely not Swedish. In a world where one man has only seen 30 or so movies comes a desire to learn from a master. A master of film. A master of cinema. A master who has led such a sad life.  Logan seeks the knowledge and he turns to his own personal “Yoda”; Keithie. Join Logan & Keithie on a wild adventure to discover as we watch along with a new movie each episode in THE MOVIE EDUCATION OF LOGAN CROSLAND. This episode, Logan, Keithie & Tim go where no one has gone before; into the future, then into the past.  Logan gets caught in the Crosland Fire here as Tim & Keithie share their perspectives on the Star Trek universe as the boys watch Star Trek: First Contact.  They discuss the difference between the Captains; the movies & tv shows; Data's story arc and of course "the Trek vs the Wars".  Does Logan have fun? You're blended alright. Does Logan end up being an amazing historical figure? Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make its own judgements. Does Logan try to leave? 0.68 seconds sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity. Does Logan learn anything? He learns that when it comes to the Borg; "THEY'VE ADAPTED"
In this episode of New Gen on a Mission, Justin Pratt and Tim Slomka discuss In Your House #2.    The boys discuss the end of Luger, Double J and the Roadies rise and then fall, a fun lumberjack match and the worst promo ever. Enjoy!

Keithie & Justin wish you a Shitty Holiday season with their interesting comments nonetheless. The NWO 2002 run in the WWF/WWE was a complete and total failure. - Keithie The WWF Winged Eagle and by extension, the Big Eagle title was more prestigious than the NWA/JCP/WCW Big Gold Belt. - Justin
