I have been in contact with Kathy. She sounds physically okay but I can tell it hasn't really sunk in yet. She has my cell phone number and I have told her to call me whenever she needs to.

Corporate bootlicking AND vague victim blaming in the space of just a handful of posts. Please say something about "bootstraps" next! Man, Eoae, you keep doing you. Please find some fucking empathy. And please please please, when karma catches up with you and whoever you work for fires you for no reason other than to help their bottom line and look good to stockholders, please come here and give us all the details and tell us how you fully agree with their right to do so to you and how maybe you had a bad attitude or something. Jesus. When Covid started , I had to fire a really

Dearest wife, Its day three of the great crash pad war. I'm beginning to get weary. Water and sustainence are in short supply. The battlefield is littered with soldiers, some who died on the hill blaming production, others who died storming the command, their cries of "it was a bad finish!" piercing the night, like the blade I'd use to skin the chickens back at Paw Paw's farm. Next week's episode and the upcoming PPV shine in the distance as beacons of hope in the darkness; I simply pray I can hold on until then. Please tell the children I am thinking of them.

Here's a big one. Ahem. Your relationship to wrestling is (probably) defined by your own adolescent delusions, when you thought you could grow up to be a professional wrestler. I would wager to guess that 90% of this board, if so much as a squirt gun was pressed to their temple, would instantly be able to rattle off their preferred A) gimmick name B) entrance music C) finishing move. I can't think of a single vocation that is more in-tune with adolescent male wish fulfillment, except for maybe being a rapper. Sport is obviously the big one of the last century-plus - the ex-high

Holy shit, I wrote this on July 1st 2014 and almost seven years later it finally happened:

Read that again, but slowly...

Fixed.

Velveteen Dream still being employed is utter horse shit though for real

Tip of the hat to the Wikipedia editor who wrote the entry on this period in Awesome’s career.

Okay, I am the resident Kenny Omega mark but as AEW develops they need to move away from the Bucks and Omega NJPW epics as the big match style to what Darby Allin has been building. Violent, brutal, sell your ass off, make it look and feel like a gritty fight based around storytelling and psychology. For me, right now, Darby is the best going. He works best from underneath against monsters but proved he can lead green guys like 10 and be a by any means necessary babyface. He's the best. Thar moment where he knew he was fucked but looked over at Sting and decided to go out swinging is everythin

As crazy as the Blood & Guts match was Darby's bump down the stairs must be acknowledged because that was a stupid, stupid bump.

AJ Styles: "Stripping community?!?"

Sorry if this was posted before...but this is pretty awesome

After seeing Sam's training montage with the shield, my 4-year-old son was begging for me to get him one. So, I go on Amazon and find a little toy shield for him. I ordered it last Saturday, and it said it'd be in on Wednesday. It was torture for him waiting that long. Yesterday (Wednesday), he wakes up and the first words out of his mouth are, "My shield is coming today!" He checks the front porch before school, but it's not there yet. It times out perfectly, and is delivered right as he pulls in the driveway from school. We get it inside, open the box and there it is! Before we can e

So how many people with credible sexual assault allegations got kept on while three women that everyone seemed to love and respect got cut, exactly?

My lane is: If "creative" has nothing for very talented roster members, it's not the roster members who should be removed.

Heel Samoa Joe trying to see how far into the earth’s crust he could stomp Darby Allin would be extremely my shit...

The crowd booed MSK. But Florida has long been full of anti-MSKers.

Perfect.

The hypothetical young people whose perspective I imagined thought it was lame. Don't know what to tell you. I tried.

When you saw OSJ's avatar next to a well-manicured paragraph, you knew it was time to sit down and ingest some proper, surly, genuine prose. And the one-line quips? Psh, get outta here. He was a man of Taste and Experiences. RIP

It has been an absolute shit last 10 days but I’m currently waiting out the post vaccine 15 with my son. Dose 2 will be in three weeks and then we will finally be able to see my Mom after a long fucking 18 months.

I like the argument that Vince and co shouldn't be honest about these firings simply "because they don't have to." Going to bat for corporations is weird.

I would like to recant my comments about Wesley Blake, because I legitimately thought he was Buddy Murphy, who I didn't realize was a different person until @Craig H posted above.

I will. They're evil.

The crowd chanting "THOSE ARE FAKE!" at the Dior Jordan 1s cracked me up. Forgot to mention that yesterday. I'm dubious myself to whether they're real Dior Jordan 1s or not. Those are like $15k shoes and they're pretty rare. I remember a BTE from a month or two ago where they were doing the travel vlog section and in the airport they spotted some out in the wild, or at least they thought they did. Fucking Eddie Kingston had to sell his boots and ring gear to make house payments. Now I want Moxley and Kingston to beat the shit out of the Bucks and have Kingston steal the Bucks Jordans and

It's the small one. The further away I get from it, the more it's sinking in that the Cody promo is quite possibly one of the worst of all time. If you're going to argue the Worst Band of All Time, it's pointless to try to figure out which recorded musicians had the least chops. Worst Movie, you can always find one with less budget + less technical know-how. Why? Even if you go down these paths, you'll end up on things of value. The Shaggs, Manos, the Antichrist promo, so on. Talented people spreading stupid messages always dig a deeper pit. Only a good promo guy can cut something th

Some of ya'lls hate boner for Khan winning Booker of the Year in a dirtsheet awards poll is really sad.

"Look at him Tony. Just look at him. Dominating the other man. Just look at him."

Man, I don’t care how gimmicked the stage was, I don’t see too many other 50 year olds taking nutty bumps like that, so I will not stand for any Jericho slander in this thread.

Surge, the go to drink when contemplating Meng.

I'm still smiling over how, instead of a mindless, men in tights action show, we got a six episode (very timely) rumination on the black struggle in America, capped off by a black man assuming the mantle of Captain America and telling us that while this is all well and good, we still have a long way to go. Any qualms any of us have about specific plot points are secondary to this.

Two pieces of advice for all of you who are rushing off to order one: 1) Order one size bigger than usual, because your chest is definitely going to be swelling up with pride as you walk around wearing this. 2) Get two of them, because you'll definitely wear the first one out.

It's not just that they don't give a real reason for the firings (as far as we know), it's that these people would be of worth and not needing to be fired if they knew how to book their fucking talent and give them something to do other than sit in catering. It's like Budd in Kill Bill 2 actually being right about not having a job to do because there isn't a job to do. When you can't figure out how to give your employees something to do, there's a problem. And I think it's a fair argument for fans to make as well as wrestlers because we're the ones paying them to sports-entertain us. All

I really enjoyed the show, as I usually do, But special note has to be given to Don Callis' line of '6 Grown men in the backseat of a Limo , it doesn't get any better than this!' because that might be the most legitimately funny line on a pro wrestling show in ages.

So one of my friends on the Dynamite Discord is IRL friends with Kip Sabian. We all persuaded him to send him a "Bro, you OK?" text afterwards. And Kip texted back immediately saying "I'm going to be taking so many bumps for the next few months".

If you look at the entire history of Paul Wight's WWE shirts, the number of them that allude to him having a giant cock are quite ridiculous. Big All Over, Chicks Dig It Big, I Honestly Have a Massive Knob, loads of them.
