Was there anything worthwhile from Jarrett's second WCW run?  I remember most of what I saw contemporaneously as being boring as shit.

Jarrett vs. Benoit ladder match at Starrcade 99

I know this was posted in the MLW thread but it probably deserves more eyeballs.

He just had a very good match with Hammerstone a couple weeks back on MLW TV that went all over the building

His matches with DDP were always good.

I found out that there's never been a Thunderkitty vs Delilah Doom match, and I demand to know why.

Is Chris Jericho the Tony Bennet of Pro Wrestling?

I second this.

I mean, I'm not familiar with either wrestler, but just based on the names I want that match to exist.

the Mike Awesome and Sting matches on PPV were absolute clusterfucks, but entertaining. Similarly - the six man tag with the Harriseses against the Filthy Animals was different given the stipulations, but overall entertaining.

The Booker T title matches are what they are. 

All in all - I wouldn't go out of my way to watch these, but they're not fast forward worthy if you're already there. Starrcade Ladder Match is the best but also depends on how you view watching That Guy. Dustin Rhodes Bunkhouse match from the same show isn't without its plaudits, and the tag match of the Rhodeseses vs Jarrett/Flair from one of the last PPVs is also good.

After 34 years or so, I've now officially lost track.

So, should he pick "God" or "Freak" as his wrestling nickname, with a first name like that?

Bong and have him team with Riddle

If we say yes, is there a chance Gaga will become a Sports Entertainer? 

[Infinit]

From TK's presser today...

 

[John from Cincinnati]

Jon Alba's tweet specifies that the onscreen stipulation applies to the period "in the next year," but who knows. 

They probably have more than enough authority figures and managers anyway, and on-screen is clearly not his priority. Does Adam Pearce know how to dramatically say WarGames?

So "Mr. Blackpool" debuts on NXT in a few weeks? Tony can't prove it's Regal!

Regal needs to bring Mr. Blackpool on his podcast if there's also video. They can have tea time together and we can have proof that Mr. Blackpool is definitely not William Regal. 

[Cobra Commander]

Mr. Blackpool is just Charlie Dempsey's uncle. He's not William Regal because William Regal is Charlie Dempsey's dad.

When Beetlejuice punched him in the dick.

Just dreamed up another bad Chris Jericho AEW feud, involving him blinding Jimmy Jam Garvin in a hotel room (by stepping on his glasses) before beating him down. I don’t remember which wrestler he was feuding with that required him to beat down Jimmy Garvin.

PWInsider (and a few others) are reporting Sasha Banks is set to appear at WrestleKingdom next month. 

Can 2023 trump 2022 in for wackiness in the world of pro wrestling?

I can’t imagine that Sasha’s first match outside wwe will be in a 2500 capacity venue in San Jose, but I can dream, right?

I’m still bitter about not getting sky pirates vs Sasha and bayley at San Jose state. This could quench that. I mean, the iwgp womens title is supposedly primarily for the US new japan shows. Next show is 2/18 in San Jose. If Sasha challenges Kairi at wrestle kingdom, decent chance that’s the next defense? Seems weird and too good to be true though. But they have about 1500 tickets left to sell and at this point nothing from the new japan side is going to move those extra tickets, short of them announcing a super card.
