  1. Haven't edited in a while, mostly due to depression. Back into it this year, trying to do "Wild Okanagan Wrestling" again to at least hype things before show weekends. No commentary on the first one...baby steps.

    Next one will be up this week, with some actual commentary because I didn't have to edit the match.

    She easily could've said "I used to be an asshole but I have grown and become a better person. I apologize for the shitty things I did in my past and to all the people that I hurt." 

     

    Wrestlers have a really hard time eating crow and admitting their dumb mistakes. I did it once and everyone's jaws hit the floor when I legit apologized to someone for being an asshole; a few people even admonished me for being "weak" in apologizing. You can't invest this much time in your imaginary super-human persona and then ruin it by being an actual person, in some people's eyes.

    Rick Bassman got a bunch of his guys to do fetishy videos back in the UPW days. You can find one with Christopher Daniels out there somewhere.

     

    Are you talking Cyberfights that was filmed in Vancouver? Seth Rollins did it, Davey Richards, Christopher Daniels...lots of guys. I had friends in the business who filmed some: all the buff young guys, I found it insulting because I felt my bear-like physique could've made me some cash...

    Sure, but I find it worrying that they attracted such kind of workers. After all, this is not a big company and I'd guess that everyone knew everyone.

    I think the bigger picture is this shit is EVERYWHERE, and not just in wrestling. This fetish with underage girls, across the board, needs to stop. It's gross.

  5. Wrestling twitter is a non-stop dumpster fire. Tessa's ego got out of control because she was about to become a "world" (lol) champion, and so her tweet just fucking begged for everything to come out. She earned that. So many wrestlers let their little egos get the better of them and they make these "high horse" tweets and forget they're assholes, too. 

    My twitter is basically retweeting RJ City and telling stories about how bouncing annoys/entertains me. Safe stuff to tweet about.

  6. I like the mix of people on this roster. Aldis is a solid heel champion, leading a group of thugs. Glad to see Murdoch and ODB in action. I've soured on Anderson for a long time, and was never a Drake fan...but their rivalry is super intense and well done so far; also, Anderson looks like Dick Murdoch now, so that's a plus.. Women's division is showing sparks; they need another heel that can wrestle, though, as Melina is manager material. I enjoy the wackiness of guys like Question Mark and Zicky Dice, and Tim Storm is their promo king right now. Fun show.

    RoH went from being the arguable #2 in the US that brought us (and allowed me to see live without a trip to Japan) Dick Togo, Great Muta, Satoshi Kojima, Mitsuhara fucking Misawa, Kenta fucking Kobashi, Prime KENTA, Prime Marufuji, and opened the door for NJPW to work in the US again, to total irrelevance in 1 year.  that's a fucking fall from grace.

    Because they allowed themselves to be used by New Japan. They brought NJPW stars over, jobbed nearly every top ROH guy to a NJPW guy, and gave NJPW the foothold to realize they could just run their own shows without ROH. They fucked themselves.

    I don't know how I forgot that but yeah that was a really awful comment to say.  Especially since she is not at all ugly nor should it be pointed out if she was. 

    One thing I noticed in MLW is that Cornette is  grossly misogynistic. He slut shamed Arya Blake incessantly. It was gross and turned me off the show for a while. It's why I avoided Powerrrrrrr for as long as I did. Which is a shame because the show has a lot of strong points...but Cornett was not one of them.

  9. I'm about 5 episodes in, and even if Cornette hadn't made the stupid Ethiopian comment, he had to go because the rest of  his tidbits just fucking sucked. Saying that Thunder Rosa is so ugly her picture is used in prisons to cure sex offenders? What the fuck is that? And to say a wrestler is stiffer than 4pm? That doesn't even make sense, you senile dipshit.

    In a perfect world you would be absolutely right, but unfortunately it isn't. Those guys needed to be "selfish" and beat everybody to establish themselves as stars to a national audience. How are people watching them for the first time supposed to accept them as big stars when they are doing jobs left and right? And even worse: if they are getting beaten by everyone how is that getting the guys they are losing to over? How is beating them meaningful when they are getting constantly beaten? They needed to be booked real strong and then pick one guy or one team to put over so the loss really means something.

    Fair points, but you can also get the idea across that running a wrestling company is hard so it's effecting their focus. 

  11. My girlfriend watched the most-recent episode of Powerrr, which was her first look at the program. First, she wanted to know what year it was from, and then said "it looks like a Canadian version of an American show," (as in, the low-budget look). She also got a kick out of Ricky Morton's hair.

  12. I only watch AEW Dark on YouTube and I've been enjoying it. The show isn't perfect by any means, but I like their commitment to using top guys to try and establish young dudes. This easily could've been self-masturbatory with The Bucks and Cody or Omega holding the belts and they resisted the urge. Good on them. 

    I like where Spears is at with Tully, hating all the hardcore and gimmicky dudes. If he recruits someone like a heel Adam Page to take a run at the tag titles, it could be fun. MJF has potential, and both Cody and Jericho are killing it on the mic.
