the buildup for Ospreay vs Hangman has been incredible. Even the beer stuff while kind of goofy didn't hurt the moment at all. The match is deserving of a main event and should be great. But again it is ultimately hard to get excited about the match because we know that the winner is going to lose to Mox in some bullshit Attitude Era finish at the biggest show of the year. Like always hope I am proven wrong on this I don't know why Gabe Kidd is NOT in this match when it is pretty obvious that he will be involved in the match. Maybe it is a way to bring Eddie Kingston or Darby Allin in the show without putting him in the match and risking things because I don't think they are ready

So are we expecting MJF to be murdered tonight or are they actually going put in the group?

I give Dark Side of the Ring credit for not showing any of the Instagram Live footage. I am sure it is available and I am sure there are tons of people in wrestling media who would have shown it. And they didn't show any of it. Not even a screen capture. You didn't need to to make the point and while I know this will come off as me just shitting on current wrestling, if Daffney was constantly struggling with his mind, body, and soul I can only imagine how awful it would have been for her given how a good half of current social media and regular media is now.

The Untold on Brett Favre was surprisingly honest given the history of Netflix and especially the Untold series. I guess they figured they were never going to get Favre in the interview they might as well tell the story. Most of the story seemed to be more about Jen Sterger instead of the Mississippi welfare scandal. I guess that makes sense given who was interviewed. The main thing on watching is that for people who think that women in sports media in any form are treated unfairly (which most cases are), you have NO idea how bad it was about 15-20 years ago. Jen was basically slut shamed when she never once met Favre and it was a one sided attempt. Even the non sports talking heads at that time was treating her badly. Her career is pretty much dead. But hey because Brent Musburger got all horny during a FSU vs Miami game it was deservedly so in their dumbass mind.

I don't think RG3 has to worry about showing up to HIS family reunion. Or at least half of them.

The other issue (AND IT IS A VERY MILD ONE DON'T GET MAD) is that it seems like Zoey was supposed to eat the pin on that. So now Kairi Sane who just came back with a solid response has to eat a pin. Definitely not how you want to come back. But nothing can be done

I don't know if there will be any winners in this Ryan Clark vs RG3 feud and it especially won't be the people who have to endure it. It is two guys who are desperately trying to appeal to the complete opposite groups in terms of sports and politics frankly and both of them are either really bad at it or will never get the full respect to begin with and their ego doesn't get it

Congratulations to Darby but can we get you in the ring as quick as possible so that we don't have the main event of All In be a complete waste of time and another match that ruins the overall PPV because of how much of a mess the main event is

Seems like it is really early but here is the latest end of season SNL Update Joke Swap https://x.com/nbcsnl/status/1923961846840586525 This season's one was really one sided as Michael Che's jokes to Colin Jost destroyed Colin Jost. The "Nick Kerr Lover" joke feels like something from the 70's and closest one of these jokes got to being a "we are off the network" one From the stuff I saw, the whole show felt like they aren't really sure that a 51st season is happening so fuck it

I saw the finish of the Preakness about 3 times and still can't believe Journalism won that. He seemed completely stuck

If last night show at GCW Big Time is gong to be a trend and not just Maryland being Maryland, the BALD chant is going to make people look forward to hearing WHAT at shows. I mean you do realize that when BOTH wrestlers are bald the chant is really fucking stupid right? Also just a note to MCW, if you are going to try to promote a show to people going to GCW shows, maybe including Riddle and Velveteen Dream in the front of the poster/laminate card isn't the best strategy Overall a pretty good show given the restrictions of running in Maryland. Tag title match involving Price/Oliver vs Bang Bros was very good. Ruckus vs Effy had the people charged up, and Tremont vs Slade was exactly what it should have. The Cogars/Janela & Mr Danger was definitely a match that could have benefited from running outside of Maryland. So they decided to pull the trigger on a 3rd Cogar in a heel ref gimmick.

Next week is on Daffney and while this was going to be a rough one to handle, the fact that her own daughter didn't want to be involved doesn't ease how sad this is going to be

For the last 15 years Berman has been in Booker T mode where the majority of time you could replace with a soundboard and not notice a difference And also the same level of pervert too

This is another shameful moment in internet wrestling tied to the Sabu death. if you are one of the people who every time someone does the point to the ceiling thing and think it is any way related to Roman Reigns, I immediately chalked you to either be under 14 or a douchebag

I have no idea if this is valid commercial or a fake one that is selling someone else obscure but seeing a lot of these "IT'S A SHOE THAT HAS A BOTTLE OPENER" lately. Sorry but if you need to take off your shoes to open a bottle I am either questioning your cleanliness or whether you are homeless and wasting money on dumb shit

i loved the idea that you had to keep kayfabe so much that when wrestlers would eat together at his house the babyface would be at one table and the heels would eat at another table in maybe another room. Although isn't kayfabe already broke by having them in the same building to begin with. I mean it would be some 3D chess kind of shit if they had to schedule it like babyfaces get to the house at 8:30 and heels have to show up at 9 The story about Bobo Brazil actually getting a pin against the Sheik around the time of the Detroit riots was great and extremely smart business. Of course Jim saying that he won clean two weeks later kind of negates it some but an A+ for effort. Had no idea that when he threw the fireball on Mr JL at the WCW PPV he had already broke his leg. I guess because he was so immobile at that point that we could barely notice

Apparently there is a movie coming out probably in 2026 based on John Madden (staring Nicholas Cage). Cage needs about 20 more pounds but I could figure he could play the character of Madden well. Also showing Al Davis being played by Christian Bale which man that sounds interesting https://x.com/HollywoodHandle/status/1922469556473200917

the problem with this that I am seeing is that removing ESPN from your regular cable does no benefit to me. Most of the ESPN channels except the small ones are part of my basic package. While I am sure there are arguments to remove basic cable with all the streaming services still not sure about doing it. If I remove one of my sports packages that contains a ESPNU for example, I have to make up for by buying services to the other channels that I use

Finished watching the Netflix documentary Shooting Guards about the legendary gun incident between Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton and it is very good and just as sad as you expect. Nobody really comes out of this looking good unless you believe that Gilbert realizing what a massively arrogant asshole and that he was the most main one responsible for Javaris being out of basketball is a good thing. It is clear that the money and fame got to his head and made him think that Agent Zero was invincible. And what little sympathy that you had for Javaris being the naive kid who was put in a tough situation by himself in Los Angeles to the Wizards gets wiped away when you find out about his murder and how he may have gotten a sweetheart deal to have his 24 year murder sentence cut to less than half. And then you got Peter Vessey who is still a smug asshole after all these years talking about how he got the story You look at that 2009 Wizards team and it is wild. You have a team with Javaris Crittenton, Nick Young, and Javale McGee with a captain who is so full of himself that he is being an prick to almost everyone. It is miracle that the only thing that did happen was them showing off their guns.

I figured that the worse thing we would have to deal with concerning Janela and Sabu was him talking about how after they resolved any differences they had in the past they snorted a "long line of cocaine together". I have never been a fan of wrestlers mentioning in their eulogy or memorial of another wrestlers doing obviously illegal things in showing their friendship. But again that is more of a me thing and not the actual business I think the best description I have heard about this stupid situation is I think "Not that Tom Green" saying that this would be like accusing someone of GG Allin murder by giving him a gas station dick pill near his death.

At this rate I am convinced if the Wizards only won 5 games next year they would be lucky to get a top 4 pick. Really defeats the purpose of tanking when you are historically unlucky in these lottery

Very nice and very Joey Janela like tribute to Sabu in the beginning of the JCW May Flowers show today. Hopefully there is version out there with just the speech https://x.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1921671063424905506

Man if you are Edmonton, you are devastated bad enough to lose a game 3 that could have pretty much clinched the series, it happens in the last second on one of your own players

Sabu is definitely one of those RIP threads who deserves his own thread. It seems oddly appropriate that his final match was that no rope barbed wire match against Janela just a month ago. Sabu importance in wrestling isn't just hit style but in how we actually watch wrestling. He was one of the early people that people went on message boards and did tape trading to find more of. Man that Dark Side of the Ring this week on the Sheik is going to hit much harder than before. I don't know if Sabu was supposed to be on it but I would expect so

I was live for the Cena and R Truth main event match and I am seriously doubting that a shift of characters and about 12 years is going to make it much better
