...OR we could strip the shame from any kind of sex work, especially something as simple as making pics and videos. I'm friends with a few women who are on OF and while they do have to deal with a good amount of creepy dudes, when do women NOT have to? Otherwise they love the option. There's no need to consider it sleazy for people to engage in OF.

onlywweuniverse.com coming soon

Fitting this goes here with the Lars talk.

Waiting for Big E's OF page. #slappingmeat

The tag belts being traded bothers me way more than it probably should. However, in a year of WCW-esque moves that is REALLY up there with WCW-esque moves in making titles total jokes.

That's the point I was making, too. We as a collective shouldn't care about anyone doing OnlyFans. Zelina's a consenting adult and there's no shame in it. But WWE has stockholders and corporate sponsors. Should anyone in those groups learn that she's on a website widely seen as a sex workers' outlet, I can see her getting in trouble with WWE bigwigs. That's 100% unfair, but we know how that sort of thing goes in any public setting. It stinks.

I apologize if I came across like I was demeaning it. If anything I do support those that use it and set their rules. But while there should be no shame in that for a publicly traded company they might not see it that way. So I was thinking about that when I posted earlier. I hope it works out for Zelina but it wouldn't surprise me if WWE got wind of it and shut it down.

If they move towards Cody turning heel and Jericho eventually becoming a face (after MJF takes over or whatever) then the alignment scale is still somewhat balanced - eventually, anyway. Doing the Cody turn 1) on Orange Cassidy and 2) at the 1 year anniversary show makes a ton of sense to me.

Obviously, there just has to be another shoe waiting to drop on this match, whether it’s a Cody turn or a Dark Order shmozz. It doesn’t make much sense otherwise.

It was a matter of time before someone still connected to WWE would open an OnlyFans page. The big thing is it being perceived as adult entertainment, despite Zelina clearly saying no nudity. That's likely more concerning for WWE than the actual third-party aspect. It shouldn't, especially with so many wrestlers into comic cons and cosplay. But who knows.

Me: Turns on Raw. Sees Lars Sullivan. Turns off Raw. Turns on Raw again. Sees Rollins TALKING ABOUT Lars Sullivan. Jesus Jumping Fuck. What is this? Did Vince read the Internet this morning and say "FUCK THOSE GODDAMNED SNOWFLAKES I'LL BOOK WHOEVER I WANT" over his morning steak wrap laced with cocaine?

Apparently someone in Philadelphia booked the ECW Arena for a political event, but then the building owners cancelled them off when they found out it was pro-Trump. Which obviously none of us will be expressing any opinions about.

1's will never go out of style.

Awesome triple threat knockouts tag opener, that would've been ideal for Bound for Glory if they were going to bring back the knockouts tag titles. 10 person tag was fun with an entertaining group of characters. Kylie/Kimber was very good as well. Young/Swann build feels like the same segments over again sometimes. BFG has felt a little bit lacking thus far but thought tonight had some good build and improved things a bit. Most looking forward to Deonna/Kylie and Edwards/Shamrock plus the Gauntlets always fun. I feel like Kylie wins but would like to see Deonna's reign continue a lot longer. EC3/Moose has been odd, looks like they are going to have their final deletion. Results:

I want his son to one day ask why Vince is old and dumb.

Poor LeVeon thought he could hold out then cash in. He winds up losing the years franchise tag salary then signs with the Jets for a lower guarantee than he would have got from Pittsburgh's offer. In the NFL get your money when you can especially in the era of low values for running backs

Patreon has a better split (OF takes 20%, not sure Patreon's exact cut but it is less). But OF is definitely a lot more casual and you have a lot more leeway with how much/often you put up content. With the way subbing works for Patreon you pretty much have to guarantee a certain amount of content to be delivered every month without fail (and different kinds of content, if you have tiers). I could see the trade off in money being worth it if you don't want to have to stick to a set schedule/expectations. As for a non-adult version of a Onlyfans-like platform. I mean, it could work, but you're probably dooming it to failure. Onlyfans is already here and being used in different ways by all sorts of people. Creating a separate no naughty bits allowed version will just increase stigmatization. Or just become a joke like Protect Our Free Speech Twitter alternative, Parler (which hilariously has more rules than Twitter on what is and isn't acceptable). Sex workers have been the driving force behind a lot of technological successes; from peep booths in the early days of movies, to home viewing systems (VHS embracing porn is one of the main reasons is succeeded over Betamax), to early payment systems on the internet, all the way to various sites and apps today. While not intended as adult-orientated, much of Twitter and Snapchat's popularity can be derived from sex workers being early adopters of the programs. Tumblr's final fall into almost complete irrelevance can be directly tied to its decision to ban pornography. Without porn sites driving overall traffic, you will have less people signing up for the service (even if they have no intention of engaging with/participating in the "adult" side of the site). Even Patreon's sporadic attempts to enforce a relatively loose ban on certain adult niches has led to a lot of creators jumping ship to other sites, like Onlyfans.

Putting this here for more Japan Indie World nostalgia. Anjo has a combination of arrogance and stupidity working against him at all times and the crowd definitely knows it. At the end Goto gets fed up and pulls out a chain and a fondue fork. The ref does the honors for Anjo. Oh and get this. The main event for this card was sworn enemies Hashimoto and Ogawa vs. Tenryu and... THE YETAIIIIHY! Yes indeed, good old Reese, wrestling as BB Jones (?). EDIT II: I guess it was actually a carving fork. I watched Alton Brown make fondue today, so hey.

This here's a DEAN Special for sure. Surprise surprise, it's... MOTEGI! And he's getting the blood beat out of him by Tarzan Goto! It is totally one-sided and he bleeds all over the floor, Goto, Miyake, everything but himself which is really strange. I think we officially can have a rule now that if you bleed on either A. the floor or B. someone else your match can go here. Someone's gonna have to tell me why they have "THE S OULOF GRASS" written on the ring apron though. Even if they meant THE SOUL OF GRASS (GLASS) that means nothing.

On the UWFI rules tip, Hoodfoot vs O'Shay Edwards from Paradigm Pro's anniversary show is the most fun 2-3 minutes you'll have outside of your monthly "date night" with your significant other :P It made a new guy look incredibly strong in his debut, put the veteran over as tough as fuck, and then left you NEEDING a rematch. All in a few minutes.

Not wanting to rank reprehensible crimes, but I'd put Grizz and Buck as close to the very worst.

Outside of murders, i wonder if a Grizzly Smith episode would be the most repugnant topic they could do. I guess Buck Zumhoffe would be a parallel.

A Grizzly Smith episode might make the Von Erich's episode look like a lighthearted comedy. And if the Korea episode does not have people talking about Sasaki and Hokuto, then they are not even trying.

I really liked those matches going short. It's something puro desperately needs, is to put the brakes on its tendency to go long. Watching New Japan on AXS burned me out so hard that even though I've got access to NJ World I've checked out only one match from the G1 so far. I also liked that that Air Raid Crash (or was it a White Noise? Or are those the same?) was a relatively safe back bump instead of the neck crusher it could have been.

It was interesting to read that the last scene of Homelander bare-ass, jerking off over NYC was originally shot for season 1 as part of the second episode, but Amazon nixed it at the time. As a joke, Kripke inserted it into the season 2 finale when Amazon suggested a “stronger” ending for Homelander, and they loved it this time around. I definitely think it worked better for where Homelander is at now compared to if they had done it early on. In season 1, it’s just an edgy laugh. LOL A superhero jerking off on the city! But now, after suffering a pretty resounding defeat, it seems like way more of a pathetic act by someone feeling impotent and trying to get the old feeing back.

?

Asuka can't believe it either.

Bret Hart wins his first WWF Championship. Great moment. Bret won five in total.

I'm not a big fan of 15 year old girls working competitive matches with grown men. But that's me. Hopefully she has a long successful career.

Looks like some of the topics for season 3 of Dark Side of the Ring will include Grizzly Smith, Brian Pillman and Collision in Korea https://comicbook.com/wwe/news/wwe-dark-side-of-the-ring-season-3-topics-grizzly-smith-jake-roberts-brian-pillman-collision-in-korea/?fbclid=IwAR0w6sHQvNgZRJ6v63gTZyybgP_41bODJ7nNn8bcNzqdPwcfwuVnx0YYcZw

It won't happen, but if Cody turned heel by cheating to beat OC and every opponent after that, and cutting the exact same promo as last week to louder and louder boos, I'd be into it. On the other hand, an OC win followed by a triple threat with Brodie and OC on PPV works too. A clean Cody win with no turn and... Let's say I'd def be willing to revisit the HHH conversation with you guys.

The Baseball Gods hate the Astros. Cannot believe the luck of the (Devil) Rays and the unluck of the (Angel) Astros. Whatever we have done to offend you, ye Gods, we repent. What could we have done?

Unless you are Bethesda and that game is Skyrim

Nasty. Looks like something they might try at Bloodsport. Speaking of Bloodsport and Bloodsport-adjacent shows...

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canucks!

In case you fell asleep, like I did.... here's the sketch of the week:

That was a pretty high-quality "worked shoot" there on Weekend Update between Colin Jost and Kate McKinnon with that Dr. Weknowthis character and McKinnon's "Of course I'm not." Even though the moment itself wasn't for real, it sure felt like it was coming from an honest place.

Sublime.

Poor Yano.

Between his knowledge and his ability to entertainingly run his mouth, he's the best wrestling historian to listen to ever. He's also a fucking asshole.

So sorry, @NikoBaltimore. No wonder you're raging. Here if you need a natter.

With conventions not happening due to COVID I asked a friend of my wife how she was doing considering she'd cosplay a bunch at all of them. This was about a month or so ago and she said It was a struggle at first but she admitted to signing up for OnlyFans. I asked why there considering it's known for adult stuff. She said the subscription service is a great avenue for cosplayers and they can set the rules for not just nudity/non-nudity but also whether customs are allowed or not. So if they're well-known enough they can make a good chunk of change. And while she's not happy to be on there due to the adult reputation it's been a huge help for her. Now I'm not trying to defend OnlyFans but it seems that there's more to it than just adult stuff. What I hope will happen is that somebody takes that subscription service and make a new site that doesn't have that sleazy reputation. This way it would be a safer platform for celebrities and cosplayers alike to go on there without the potential shame that comes with it. And that would make sense to me considering people are willing to buy Cameos and all that stuff so subscribing for exclusive media isn't a bad deal. As for Zelina this was the direct result of WWE clamping down on third party avenues. So I have no sympathy for them as draconian measures have consequences like this. I can't imagine Zelina feels great being on the site but if it means more money then good for her.

So I completed The Collective and watched all ONE HUNDRED AND ONE matches. Here's a list of TWENTY that I'd recommend (the ten with asterisks are those I'd really recommend): GCW: Jimmy Lloyd's D-Generation F Tre Lamar vs JJ Garrett *Calvin Tankman vs Cole Radrick SUP: Swing Of The Axe *Daniel Makabe vs Lee Moriarty Jake Something vs O'Shay Edwards GCW: For The Culture *JTG vs Trey Miguel *Calvin Tankman vs O'Shay Edwards *AJ Gray vs Dezmond Xavier *Lee Moriarty vs ACH Glory Pro: Are Ya Wrestling, Son? ACH vs AJ Gray GCW: Joey Janela's Spring Break 4 Rickey Shane Page vs Orange Cassidy *Jonathan Gresham vs Lee Moriarty *Tony Deppen vs Alex Shelley Freelance: I Don't Think We're In Chicago Anymore Isaias Velazquez vs Lee Moriarty BLP: Threat Level Noon Gaytanic Panic vs Stunt Doubles Besties In The World vs Violence Is Forever Jake Something vs Warhorse GCW: Josh Barnett's Bloodsport 3 *Tom Lawlor vs Homicide Women's Tournament Final *Jon Moxley vs Chris Dickinson PPW: Trapsoul O'Shay Edwards vs Suge D

Raheem Morris will serve as the Falcons interim HC

This is great stuff but is spread across many pages (one per week), so not easy reading. And it's chronological so people may not get past the 'tell us about your childhood' material, so I've broken it down a bit. Childhood 'This is kinda embarrassing but I went back to visit Gifu recently, and my old school friends told me when I was a kindergartner I would constantly be trying to lift up girls’ skirts. ' Love life Discovering Pro Wrestling Including his favourite match as a fan. Being a fan 'No, we just wore costumes. I took a sharpie and wrote KENTA KOBASHI on a white T-shirt, but for some reason I drew a (Masahiro) Chono goatee on my face (laughs).' Student Pro Wrestling College Go to law school, focus on your Ultimate Warrior tribute act. Graduation Love of pro wrestling and buffness costs jobs and gfs. NJPW Dojo Trial I had forgotten that Wataru Inoue existed. Passing the trial Before joining Dojo life 'It was (Yutaka) Yoshie, then (Togi) Makabe, (Kazuyuki) Fujita, (Wataru) Inoue and (Katsuyori) Shibata. Then Masakazu Fukuda transferred in from Dream Factory in January ’99, then it was me and Suzuki. There were a lot of us in that dorm, and we were all big guys, too.' More dojo Getting naked with Kenzo Suzuki, and why I couldn't sleep with Shibata.

Also, an unlikely choice for his favourite match of his from that era. Muto leaves for AJPW Choosing between NJPW and AJPW. Also, not going on excursion 'Well if you think of Japanese wrestlers who made it right to the top without that experience overseas first, it’s me and Kenta Kobashi really' Thinking the same about Inoki as we all did
