Hey yo, this week's workouts: Sunday: ran 6 miles outside Monday: ran 5 miles outside (was shooting for 6 but it was HOT) Tuesday: half hour of lifting (chest, shoulders, triceps), 4 mile run outside Wednesday: 7 mile run outside Today: 5.25 mile run outside, half hour lifting (back, biceps, legs, core) Taking tomorrow off for the holiday, Saturday off for my normal rest day, then back to the grind Sunday.

Hangman not winning the belt after this build is some Starrcade 97 shit and I have to believe TK is smarter than that.

Flex Kavana is the most porn sounding name ever. It’s like an islander version of Chest Rockwell.

"Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie?" RIP

Dave said that they're doing Hurt Syndicate vs JetSpeed vs Christian and Nick Wayne for the belts and holy shit losing the belts without actually getting pinned would be a) some WWE bullshit and b) exactly what I expect with how Hurt Syndicate has been booked and conducts themselves.

I wish my iPhone could screenshot streaming services. They had that promo shot of Superman on the barricade where he's standing with his arms crossed. In some matches, they'd shoot low from the floor, across the ring, and you'd just see the top of Superman's head. It looked like some weirdo peeking over the apron. Freaked me out.

My parents had a console stereo with a turntable, radio tuner, and 8-track player. Shit I am old.

WWE already has Joe Hendry and Mr. Iguana; I think they've hit their quota for meme wrestlers.

Steiner/Harts was really good, but I think I beat my record for the number of times I said JESUS CHRIST GORILLA SHUT THE FUCK UP in one match.

Awesome!!! Thanks!

Yeah, I was about to recommend the Amazon Prime series to @Andrew POE! It's not five star art but it's certainly above average and really fun. Nails the feel of the books.

I don't even know what "Virtuosa" is supposed to mean. Like is the whole gimmick "I'm smart and really good at wrestling?" Because that's some two decades ago e-fed shit. It's All Elite Wrestling. Being good at wrestling is supposed to be everyone on the roster's baseline. Unless you're literally the best wrestler in the world or top 3ish, you seriously cannot make "really good wrestler" your whole thing. Deeb is flopping for the same reason.

This week's Hey! (ew) featured Bryan Keith and it was really good!

Holy shit that sounds awesome. I wrote this in the Peacock or Netflix thread, but if we're talking Steiners vs babyface superteams, Steiners vs Sting & Luger from whatever Superbrawl that was was an awesome match. I love face vs face matches that eventually break down as guys lose their cool, and that's what the match was. It was a little sloppy but you can kayfabe it by attributing it to the teams slowly getting more irritated and chippy. Just a fun match.

This past weekend's beer: finished off the last can of the Sierra Nevada lager, and then moved to Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. Somehow Sierra Nevada stays inflation-proof at 10.99 a six pack while everything else is going up. I'm sure the independently-owned stores near me sell it for a few bucks higher...big win for my local county-owned stores. Torpedo is 7.2% alcohol and really a can't miss beer if you like IPAs, just really flavorful.

I didn't think I'd see a Penthouse Forum reference in 2025 but I'm here for it.

Watching old AEW from 2020, being reminded that Jimmy Havoc was a thing, then pausing the show to Google the story about Excalibur choking out drunk, belligerent Havoc in a Baltimore restaurant parking lot. Glorious.

After seeing all the damage Punk did to AEW because he’s a thin skinned bitchboy, all this, plus apparently aging 10 years in the space of two and having an awful match, is delicious. Every once in a great while, the shitty people get what’s coming to them. Savor it when it happens, my friends.

Living in the working class heart of Chicago like a real tough lunchpail Chacago guy Highland Park without stable income can't be easy! The We Watch Wrestling guys always clown on Punk for all his Chicago this and Chicago that bullshit when he lives 25 miles away in one of the city's richest, whitest suburbs.

Thankya buddy! Your work gym sounds awesome. I, too, am "encouraged" to come in a little more...my work gym is pretty good but obviously no free weight barbells and plates due to liability issues. Of course, the showers were broken Monday, which is awesome after a 3 mile treadmill run and a half hour of weights. Deodorant and body spray yaaaaaaay! Heat wave in my area this past week = running outside only Sunday and Friday. Sunday: 6 mile run that I had to cut short to 5 when the expected extreme heat started maybe a half hour into it Monday: 3 miles on the treadmill (varying speeds between 5 and 6), then chest, shoulders, triceps Tuesday: Same as the day before but with back, biceps, and core Wednesday: See Monday but at my actual gym, not work Thursday: At the actual gym, HIIT on the treadmill for a half hour (4.5mph jog, 8-9 sprint), then back, biceps, core, and legs Friday: FINALLY able to run outside without risking heat stroke, 6 miles because my legs were dead from HIIT Today: Cheat and recovery day. Down 81ish pounds since starting a little over two years ago. Might shoot for 100 just to make it a nice round number.

Winston Duke would be awesome. 50 is okay but his apex was Den of Thieves.

He was with Sculdun's wife in the end. I wonder if the Empire connected Sculdun to Rebel funding due to his relationship with Mothma and his closeness to Luthen's antiques business, and sent him to prison, leaving his wife and Mothma's husband to get together for convenience/necessity. Of course that makes their kids, who are married, step-siblings now.

Yeah, when I wrote about those countries being human rights dumpster fires, I was fully aware that I am living in a glass house.

It's so crazy in retrospect to think about WCW getting one of the WWF's tippy top guys at the height of his power, and doing absolutely nothing of consequence with him. Politics were so bad with the inmates running the asylum that a top guy, a genuine superstar, was handed to them and they squandered him.

Yeah, Alvarez is always joking about how much Google says he's worth. They should build this match as Saudi apologizer vs China apologizer, winner gets first dibs on the next human rights dumpster fire regime to cozy up to.
