S.K.o.S.

Back on the wrestling crossword grind after a couple months off.

I'm not completely writing off the possibility that we're being swerved on the Big Cass thing.

Hearing that the Minnesota Timberwolves have pooped their pants.

Thank you for introducing me to this game, which has been driving me UTTERLY INSANE this week. I am terrible at it. It took me something like 230 guesses to get yesterday's word.

No. I'm considering this year as "prove to me that we're back to normal". I'd run it next year if we get through this summer without obvious weirdness in the box office numbers.

Be honest, did anyone here actually know what the president of New Japan looked like?

I'm gonna assume Page bladed his chin, which is fantastic.

To answer the OP question, it's Big Hero 6. Not so much because of the characters... I just thought the city looked really neat.

Struggling to word this without sounding like I'm being critical... I'm so curious about what someone saw in Yuta that made them think he was the guy to put in this spot. To my knowledge he's never been this good before.

Meanwhile in Toronto's other potential first-round opponent, Boston: If you check the article, they've both said they're "ready to play wherever". I guess after the fact it'll be "I WAS ready to play, they just wouldn't let me into the country".

How appropriate that people are calling them BCC, while AEW fans show BLIND loyalty to this CARBON COPY of other stables!

As much as I'd like to believe I'm above really getting wrapped up in any of this stuff, I would have been actively upset if FTR had come off that match with the Briscoes, and then lost the titles to the Bucks on a bullshit belt shot finish that the ref somehow didn't see. In 2022, I'd say that's good heat.

What interests me more about that matchup than anything is that barring shenanigans, Suzuki is either winning an ROH title or taking an L to Rhett Titus.

I'm not even a Toni fan and I thought this episode was great, hugely overdelivered. Mox vs Lethal was really good, and Bryan vs Yuta was fantastic. Crowd was very hot for pretty much the entire show.

Will looked like he was laughing at the jokes though?? That's so strange.

When she does it like eight times in two hours, yeah, kind of.

Brodus Clay/Tyrus is in this. Idk how or why I know that, because I've never actually seen the movie.

Is Meltzer saying it's a "Brian Pillman game" if Cody is working us into thinking he left AEW but he really didn't? Wouldn't that be, like, the exact opposite of what Brian Pillman did?

Disagree. They put the title on Scorp so they could have him do a face vs. heel match against Wardlow, not so they could have him do a heel vs. heel match against MJF.

Put those idiot fans who were yelling "What" during Kingston's promo on a rocket and fire it directly into the sun. Other than that, I loved the show! Probably like half a dozen segments where I was legitimately interested in seeing the next step in the story.

Yes, for the people who think the shows are too long, normalize watching wrestling on your own schedule imo. I watched the first four hours on Sunday and then finished the last hour on Monday morning. I realize there's an appeal to watching the whole thing live, and being able to be part of the real-time conversation as the show's happening, on Twitter or your Discord chat or whatever. But watching it on your own schedule is an option that many people seemingly don't consider.

This is why it's a well written story imo. Even though there's a conflict, both sides are being perfectly reasonable so far. I'm expecting they'll make it very clear who the heel is eventually.

Cole did the double finger point when he got to the top of the entranceway, so I can only assume his intent was to do a Panama Sunrise from 15 feet up.

Yeah, I'm really wondering what Orange suddenly turning up the intensity looks like in an unsanctioned match.
