TNT! The Tuesday Night Thread!

By Scott Keith on May 17, 2016

Hopefully everyone is getting ready to watch Backlash 2007 as part of Duck’s Live Watch. A Fatal Fourway for the WWE Championship between John Cena, Edge, Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels. A Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Undertaker and Batista. All that and more, starting at 8 p.m.

But if you aren’t into the Live Watch, we’ve got the penultimate episode of Flash Season 2. A two-hour Agents of SHIELD event at 9 p.m. Megyn Kelly interviews Donald Trump on Fox tonight, and I’m sure there are also sports up the wazoo.

Until all of that gets underway, hey, how about some historical facts?

1756 – Britain declared war on France, beginning the French and Indian War.

1792 – The New York Stock Exchange was founded at 70 Wall Street by 24 brokers.

1932 – The U.S. Congress changed the name “Porto Rico” to “Puerto Rico.” 84 years later, the Shining Stars are still bitter.

1985 – Bobby Ewing died on the season finale of “Dallas” on CBS-TV. SPOILER! He returned the following season.

1998 – New York Yankees pitcher David Wells became the 13th player in modern major league baseball history to throw a perfect game.

2001 – The U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp based on Charles M. Schulz’s “Peanuts” comic strip.

Here’s your open thread for the evening. Discuss it all!
