Octopus

Totally hear and respect you. I think it is fair for people to take breaks from things in life. What we should do on paper is easier than real life. If someone is fighting a two or three front war, the lesser things in life is ok to turn off instead of constant eye rolls. That much orbital movement makes me dizzy. This is less about “why do people think differently” and more “this went from 0 to 100 quickly” to the point of discourse in those spaces isn’t fun. A lot of people left Twitter or do social media less for those reasons. Especially when specific platforms continually resent what you literally blocked. Why am I seeing this much Boy Meets World content? I know and agree with what you say. But breaks are ok from things. I’m not even saying you’re saying they are not. I assume you agree with that to the point of me being silly for driving so far with this silly point. I just want that in the open that people taking care of themselves in healthy ways, whether it is proactive action (in this case sniping out specific things) or temporary removal of the toxic space (in this case focusing on other things that you need to address at the same time) is ok. I’m sorry for implying condescension and not reading the room or trusting your good character enough to comprehend properly. I look at us as buddies. I’m likely projecting outside issues. I hope I’m not coming off like an idiot

I appreciate the sentiments but do feel like this is talking down to me. There are times when constant negativity is not fun. I understand, that’s life. The world or dialogue outside of myself is uncontrollable and that’s a good thing. My point was poor algorithms bringing back reposted content after being blocked. Saying I shouldn’t feel a way or something isn’t a big deal is pretty low. Especially when I’m not asking people to change their minds. Just a preferred break I take when dealing with other things because I care not to address them as well as other moments in life at times. A lot of people have taken a break because of uncomfortable discourse. I feel I’ve been fairly respectful and even empathetic to people on here. Happily made e-friends. Made wellness checks and I’m happy a few people reach out to me as well. I look at you very fondly and enjoy our convos. Iffff nothing was directed at all at me at all and I’m a fool for typing this then I’ll sheepishly slither away. I need several naps

He’ll turn and become Apple Cassidy

I’ve engaged less with recently with wrestling at at times off and on due to the heavy negativity. Facebook, tik tok, Twitter, etc. just bombarded. Especially wild hot takes and over reactions. I’ll unfollow but the same stuff pops up. I’ll still watch stuff I like so the algorithm thinks I want more ragebait. So then I just stop all together. Ironically even after one of my favorite runs ever. Its interesting because if it does that for just wrestling, how easy it is for conspiracy and hate videos to get people radicalized. I just saw someone on tik tok literally screaming about Richochet and Samantha. Literally screaming.

I’ve been close to that a few times

THAT IS NME Haha. January 30th. 1990 is my bday. 100%. If you have a traditionally cold thing on a pizza micro is not the way. Pan fry is good if you have the time.

Gonna go off the cuff for this. I’m a little behind but most of the bangers are from the past, I assume. 1. Infinity War 2. Endgame 3. Spider-Man: Home Coming 4. Thor: Ragnorak 5. Into the Spiderverse 6. The Dark Knight 7. Days of Future’s Past 8. Black Panther 9. Guardians of the Galaxy 10. XMen

TRY TO TAKE ME OUT OF TGE GAME? I’m fucking back couple beers beforehand. Family at family? Questions ready. Let’s do this.

past few weeks I was working on the film fest I run. Also recorded a few things. Also, I haven’t been to Applebee’s in a bit. So hopefully I get a beer there soon to answer the questions. After DB retired I thought it would be a good moment for a short break.

Took a month or less off from watching anything. What I miss? Any new hot goss?

It could be an immigration doctor

New Kendrick album dropped

Idk if this counts but in videos where people dip food into a sauce and they clearly way over dip for dramatic effect and the amount is much more than their mouthful I find extremely disingenuous and in fact pretty insulting.

I like when a heel is in a dress shirt and then they take repetitive flat-back bumps from a fiery series of punches and their nice dress shirt is no longer tucked in and they roll out of the ring and look completely disheveled while the hero poses, taunts, and aggressively yells at the bad guy before the end of the show.

Kikutaro Vs Colt Cabana at F1rst Wrestling in 2019 was awesome.

Adam Cole could pull off a vampire gimmick

Battle Royals are cool.

I had to get rid of Peacock. I might watch Rawflix casually. I COULD BECOME A CASUAL VIEWER!

Wrestling needs more Viscera

Kawada losing to Misawa in 6/3/94 is ok because it adds so much to the 6/9/95 tag.

I find, for better or worse, Cole to be a messy mosaic of modern wrestling. He’s so captivating as an arrogant dirtbag heel, still extremely likable as a presence, has an underdog body, wrestles like a dynamic HBK, has arguably dumb moves, is both a representative of an Indy darling while still being a representative of WWE/NXT style, was part of one of AEW’s best storyline that became one of the dumbest, a merch mover with a dedicated fan base, maybe not a needlemover (I’ve seen contradicting things so I’m just filling space here and hopefully don’t get passionately yelled at), etc. Cole is a fascinating contradiction all the way to his core.

Idk if this is a hot take, but WWE developmental talent should have an NXT version of UpUpDownDown. Even if it isn’t for public consumption. It inadvertently was a great way to see the personalities of talent that struggled with charisma or were somewhat one dimensional on WWE tv. Video game fun is a way to get people’s guard down while having fun in a still competitive environment.

Derp. 5 Fives! Top 5 - Five favorite wrestlers Mount Rushmore - Four historic/ important wrestling figures. The Magi - Three favorite/ important touring wrestlers who were important in a country they weren’t born from. Magic & Bird - Best rivalry between 2 workers. GOAT - One to rule them All!!! You can’t use the same worker in multiple spots. @Dolfan in NYC will ban you if you use the same name twice. I don’t write the rules.

Sometimes he’s able to reverse it into a high impact DDT.

Claudio manhandling OC reminded me of how I powerbomb Lil Octopus on the couch
