Aw, man. Wish they were starting in Lexington. I just got an offer that I may be able to run camera on some UK games this year.

"Man, if you guys had been around when I was still working, I'd have interrupted an awesome tag match between y'all and chokeslammed every one of you. Then I'd get on the mic and call out Kane as part of our latest feud no one gives a shit about!"

https://www.stereogum.com/2194818/metallica-eddie-munson-actor-finally-meet-play-master-of-puppets-lollapalooza/news/ I feel like I should point out that I'm not a fan of Metallica. Nothing against them, I just never got into them. I just happened to have seen this news in the last few days, that's all.

I'm not sure who I'd have in the booth, but I think a three-person booth can work. In my opinion, it needs a pbp, a color, and an "expert". The third one is like when Mike Tenay would come on Nitro for Lucha matches. A current example would be Regal during BCC matches. I actually think Taz fills that role nicely when he gives his insight as a former wrestler.

Lollapalooza is one of the biggest music festivals in the world.

They just headlined Lollapalooza this past weekend. They're doing alright.

I'll be hitting squats before my first ride of the week. Also, right now, I'm keeping my weight really light for squats due to some knee issues. I'll probably top out at like 200x5, so I won't be working too hard for a while. Plus, I'm not going to push it too intensely on the bike. I just need to do more than the zero cardio I currently do.

We've had a bike for about a year now, and I'm finally going to start. Like, I'm literally finishing this post and heading to Amazon to order shoes. I found this workout that I feel like I can use to fit in training on the Peloton with my strength training. It's for running and lifting, but I believe that I can just replace the running parts with cycling, and it'll be good. https://www.elitefts.com/education/5-3-1-and-run/

Oh, man. Stokely's roped Regal into his videos? That's amazing news.

Dumb question, but is that true? It's hilarious either way.

This and @Matt D’s post in this week’s Dynamite thread got me thinking. It seems to me that so much of that kind of thought going into angles/character motivations/commentary/etc may have stemmed from the fact that, back then, the people putting on a wrestling show still saw importance in convincing the audience that it was “real”. I love current wrestling, so don’t take this as a “kids these days!” comment, but I wonder how much is lost because the people putting on shows today are mainly concerned with making the show “cool”?

That’s another great “sliding doors” thing: what if Flair stays in fat redneck mode instead of transforming into the Nature Boy?

I'm lucky enough to live in a joint Krispy Kreme/Dunkin area. I have both pretty equal distance from my house. Also, I'm blessed with three or four excellent local bakeries with amazing donuts. Also, I could stand to lose a few pounds. Wonder why?

Were any of Jericho's wins clean?

It should be a rule that you can only do WOS spots if you can do them this fast.

Totally agree. After the last few weeks with like Blood and Guts and the barbwire match and all that stuff, it's nice to have a card that just looks like a bunch of awesome straight up matches.

Anyone else watching this season? I've actually been really enjoying it. They've gone with a more straightforward story and the show is better off for it, IMO. This season seems to be a inverse of the first and I'm digging that. I've also been listening to The Ringer's Prestige TV podcast every week for some more insight. It's a nice wrap of their theories, stuff from Reddit, etc. Helps to put some stuff in perspective. That said, the two male hosts (David Shoemaker and Danny Heifetz) are annoyingly dumb. Joanna Robinson keeps things focused, but those two just come up with the stupidest possible takes and seemingly can't even follow the most simple threads of the show. I knew Shoemaker was an idiot when it comes to pro wrestling takes, but apparently it's not just that.

I've always wondered if Ric just traveled with like all of his gear and consulted with his opponent before a match so that they could coordinate. There's just so many matches where he and his opponent are wearing the same colors.

For the longest time, PAC was a guy that had some fancy stuff, but I could never really connect with him. Fairly recently, I caught myself thinking, "Is this guy the best in the world?" watching one of his matches. I don't think he is, but he's up there.

He's Paul E. Dangerously.

There are a bunch of dignitaries from Ghana touring my workplace today. No sign of Prince Nana, though.

For me, that may be the grossest thing of all of this. Vince is small potatoes compared with a lot of other media founders/CEOs/whatever. If he got up to all of this awful shit, just think what those assholes have done and got away with.

Isn't the first Jericho/Kingston match the only one that didn't have interference? And Eddie won that one clean. So, even though Jericho has beaten him, its been dirty every time. Cage match makes sense.
