Didn't one wrestler used to hail from "anywhere they want" or "anywhere they please?"
And if no one has done that yet, why not?
WCW used to bill Sid Vicious as being "from anywhere he darn well pleases."
Not sure why I remember that past Gary Michael Cappetta doing a really good job with it.

Call me crazy, but I really liked Eagles/Takahashi on AXS this week. guess we're holding off voting for Rampage until next week because it aired on Saturday?
I need to start recording/skimming Impact again as that Time Machine match sounds like something I'd want to watch.

Eternals and Moon Knight have been the low points of recent Marvel shows/movies (Nothing's as bad as Iron Man 3). Moon Knight was especially bad IMO as it wasted what could have been a really good Oscar Issac performance.
I'm looking forward to The Marvels. I thought Captain Marvel was good, as was Ms. Marvel. My 13-year-old was dead-set against Ms. Marvel and we watch all of the Marvel shows/movies together. I convinced him to give it a shot because I was going to watch it anyway and he really got into it.
Also: yes, yes, yes to Midnight Sons. Especially if it's done in the style of Werewolf By Night, which was excellent.

After telling myself that I need to watch this since ever since it started, I've finally binged all three seasons and this show is great. Great.
Never read the comics and I think I'm good with that at this point, given all the deviations. I hope we get an Edgar scene-chewing monologue from prison next season as an October Suprise-type swerve.

OC/Matthews was the winner for me this week. Really enjoyed Aussie Open/Bishamon as well. Okada's great and I like Sanada, but that matchup doesn't really do it for me.

Watched the Torneo Cibernetico and NJPW and as much as I enjoyed both, I've got to go with Hayter/Riho for the week. Love them both and they might not be able to have a bad match together.

I'm leaning hard towards Hayter/Riho but still need to watch the NJPW AXS show and apparently the Tornero Cibernetico as well.
(Love Arena Coliseo. Very happy to have gotten there and to Arena Mexico over the years.)

The Bushwhackers were Vince's idea of how they could add to the WWF's wacky cast of characters. I'm sure they saw they were making more money than they ever had before for a much easier time in the ring and decided to lean into it. Can't blame them one bit.

Tim White was my first thought. They trashed his bar a lot of times for skits and would pay to fix the damage. Given that he passed away last year, might be a big thing for his Family as well.

Congratulations @Marcel! Plus any other Bison on the board.
Thanks, Pete! Our game against Kansas can only have one result, but I'm thrilled that we've made it this far.

Right before he started climbing, Hobbs had a look on his face for half a second that said "Hold up, I think this might be a bad idea...." I wonder why he didn't call an audible and just go get another ladder.

I mean....I knew going in that Okada/Takagi couldn't help but be great. As much as I like Cassidy and Yuta, I didn't think their match was going to be *that* good.

I got MLS Season Pass and I'm pleasantly surprised so far.
The price didn't bother me as I already have Apple TV+ so it was only $80 for the season. That's what Direct Kick used to cost - yes, I'm old - so not a big deal.
I do question how the league plans on creating new fans with a paywall barrier to watch matches, but I don't get paid the big bucks to figure that out. (Community outreach, get this MLS 2 league going, reach out to local media, invest in your youth teams, try to work with US Soccer on USMNT/MLS doubleheaders again.....there are ways.)
There were a couple of moments of lag, but that's the case with every streaming service. There's also an option for local radio commentary, so this DC United fan was happy to still have DCU PBP institution Dave Johnson on the call. Big unexpected plus for me.

And Yank Lampard is a far worse nickname than Ted Lasso.

Jesse Marsch out at Leeds.
Totally unsurprising, given the team's form. Hope they can turn it around, but interim managers can't score goals, so...

Man, being only $80 for an Apple+ subscriber makes me really close to pulling the trigger on the MLS Season Pass.
Went ahead and signed up for it. Direct Kick used to cost $80 back in the day - happy to get everything for the same price that I used to.
Hate losing the DC announce team in general and Dave Johnson in particular, who's been calling DCU since day one. Classiest of class acts.

Great job writing up the Mark Briscoe/Jay Lethal match.

IIRC, it was also said that Mark Briscoe had the highest IQ in the ROH locker room.
I knew it all along that Mark Briscoe was actually a genius playing the role of a simpleton to throw his opponents off.
I think the story was that the entire ROH locker room was given IQ tests and Mark had the third highest score, with Danielson at #1 and Nigel McGuinness at #2. I've kind of viewed Mark in the way you do since hearing that.

Get well soon, Dean.

And what's Croat for TAKE THAT MOTHERFUCKER
If their match against Brazil in the 2006 WC that I was at in Berlin is any indication, it's pretty much waving a bunch of flares around. Their supporters were fun to be around.
Nerves of steel in the shootout. Might just mess around and get back to the Final.

It's not that I want Saudi Arabia to win, it's that I want Mexico to lose.

Obviously very thrilled that we got the win over Iran. We're playing with house money now - I just want us to play our best game against Holland.
Bad thing, though? Berhalter will absolutely be kept on as coach now. This would be A Very Bad Idea, as was the case with Arena...and Bradley...and Klinsmann. Coaches should only get one WC cycle at most.

Well, we could use your height on corner kicks.

Not beating Wales looms larger now. That was a wasted opportunity.
I'm not expecting a win against England, but we definitely have the ability to get a result.
Whether we win/lose/draw today, we have to beat Iran to get out of the first round.

Love the Japan supporters. They did the same thing after the Japan/Greece match in Natal back in 2014.

Torn between Vikingo/Dralistico and OC/Bandido. Went with Vikingo/Dralistico, but totally expect OC/Bandido to win the week.
(LFI vs. House of Black could be a fun heel matchup.)
