A friend in Tokyo just sent me this picture. Tanahashi has his own special Zima now!! I think @D.Zand @The Naturalhave posted about it already but this is the first time I've seen it in the wild. Haven't found it in my hometown yet.

More Ben Chemoul. Just look at this. The hand up to distract, the leg kicked back so he can hook the leg, the spin out for momentum. Just awesome. We've seen some torpedo spots in the corner, but I've never seen someone quite do what he does here with the angle of impact.

It's a House rep, not a VP shortlister, so I don't think there'd be much vetting going on. Maybe by the opposition party, but again, House race. I also don't think most voters would find someone's father being closely related to be relevant. You can't control who your father is. This was funnier when I imagined Sweet Stan Lane stopping at a local Colorado Safeway and buying two gallons of baby oil so that he could inadvertently create the lady who owns the gun restaurant with numerous health violations. Let's not take this hilarious scenario away.

My friend, we know that there's no poli on this board for a reason, so I'll just leave this here and shut up. I lived through two terms of Richard Fucking Nixon and made it through to the other side. This too will pass. We have a long way to go, and it may seem like things are worse, but that's the first step of combatting a problem, realizing that you have one. Today we're having conversations about shit that was getting swept under the carpet ten years ago. Yeah, the progress is maddeningly slow and I'm not going to live to see any kind of utopia, but I will be able to say that things are lo

A conversation about Lauren Boebert being Stan Lane's illegitimate child dovetailing into a conversation about board members faking their own deaths can only happen on THIS (motioning around myself for no reason) message board! James

We don't have a We Love AEW thread. We have an AEW discussion thread and weekly Dynamite discussion threads.

Asking for a friend?

Nah, it will only be perfect if paternity is determined by a wrestling match instead of a DNA test. The blow-off to this angle is going to be Stan Lane vs. .... um.... Michael Hayes in a "Who's Your Daddy"? match on PPV. It will all be a fakeout, though. At the next tv taping, Steve Keirns is going to be brought in and he'll cut a promo admitting that he's the father and he framed Lane for breaking up the Fab Ones. I'm legit curious how you fake your death on a message board? And how did the member get caught out? Did someone PM him to ask if he was really dead and ge

Us watching WandaVision.

I came here for the "Sweet" Stan Lane is Lauren Boehbert's secret father discussion. There's also a YouTube post floating around where Lauren herself writes a YouTube comment on I believe a video about professional powerboat racing that The Fabulous One hosted after his wrestling career ended. Everything about this is perfect pro wrestling. I've been really fascinated by Lauren Boehbert since she came to fame as she a historic lunatic. Of course an 80s wrestling legend being tied into this would happen. A+ booking and I absolutely need this to be true.

Welcome to the Year of the Ox.

I’m just glad the WWF always made sure to explain why the Ultimate Warrior wore facepaint and ran around acting like a lunatic, otherwise people wouldn’t have gotten it. Man, he would’ve never gotten over.

I nominate @piranesito do an on-air fashion watch just so to see half the references fly over the head of whoever he's paired up with.

Falcons eyeing free agents like: Btw let me know if the image is too big. I'm on mobile and I can't tell.

My major fear for Usman is if he tries to run back the kickboxing style he used against Colby, as Burns actually has power unlike Covington. While Usman has a good chin and great recuperative ability, Burns could jump on something should he stun Usman. It's boring, but Usman's best and safest strategy is to grind out Burns along the cage. This is true of all of his fights of course. The vivisection guys brought up Burns' list of opponents and how none of them have been effective pressure fighters and pressure is Usman's specialty. So much points towards Usman but of course Burns is the more fl

My wife is in a full-out crying fight with her mother (who thinks the Earth is flat, 'nuff said) about the result of today's joke of a trial and I can't say loud enough that I'm so sick of how things are right now in this country. I'm doing my best to think about all the shit we've moved past - the hundreds of years of slow-moving progress against all odds - and trying to stay positive, but it's fucking hard. Hopefully y'all are doing well as can be despite the bullshit

The thought of Probanz going to hospitals and giving sick children hangman's nooses always made me chuckle. HANG IN THERE!

Jaws is just making stuff up so other people at ESPN have something to talk about. He's been caught doing it before.

The Eagles might get two firsts for Jaworski before they get em for Wentz.

I'm sure Jaworski was drunk and was speaking to a small bird he thought was Swoop the Eagle.

Ron Jaworski is claiming the Colts have offered the Eagles 2 first round picks for Carson Wentz That clearly can't be true because the Eagles would have instantly accepted otherwise

I disagree with your assertion but cannot be arsed to respond appropriately.

I didn't say they're bad takes. Shit, I probably agree with most of them. I'm making it clear that you are also perfectly capable of "nitpicking" and "talking stuff down." I even bolded the part of your post that I was addressing! Maybe I should have written more for you. But since your new board gimmick is feigning illiteracy, I didn't want to overwhelm you. I don't care about whether I agree or disagree with any of those takes. But you should realize that the "nitpicks" you complain about in this section of the board are beliefs as sincerely held by any of the nitpickers as your takes a

Drew McIntyre needs a better fucking agent.

Took my MIL & BIL to get their first shots today. My wife and mom have both had their first. I've gotten both shots. In just a few weeks, my family here in Spokane will all be done. The process for most of the community here is a total mess, at least for signing up. Fortunately, my mom heard Providence was having appointments today. I jumped online a couple days ago to sign up the MIL and BIL and it was extremely easy. Actually getting the shots has been very smooth and easy for everybody.

I. Fucking. Love. Ted Lasso. We're only through 4 episodes, but they've somehow made the most pure and happy tv series ever. It's impossible for me to watch an episode and walk away smiling a ton.

From earlier tonight in Rome, GA ... Chick Donovan (73) vs. Mike Jackson (71)

These next three episodes should be pretty fucking wild, huh? Hopefully at least the last two are significantly longer.

Wonder if that last part was a strategy on their part. Bryan and Sami are smart guys, and I'm sure the other three are too, they could have been like "hey Vince..."

Yeah, that was really good. As soon as I saw it was interpromotional I had to watch it. A little tough to figure out who was who at first (haven't watched new Joshi in... well, at all) but I got it down. Iida is really good for a greenhorn, she's built like a brick shithouse, stiff, great selling and facials. Something this match gets across really well is that you can no-sell and Fighting Spirit up if you want but it doesn't work unless there's some serious emotion behind it and the best way to pull that off, to quote Dean, is HATE. Nanae and Momo pasting each other and then just smirking thr

There's definitely a world of difference between getting tired of hearing the same people bitching about the same things over and over - and needing a safe space, homie.

Episode 6 This was actually my first though last week. Not sure he is known well enough for them to use, but he makes the most sense when you think about Monica's comic connections.

Hopefully, this is just a temporary issue due to the weight cut and he's alright.

Those are good gripes! That's totally valid criticism, particularly if (as it clearly is here) it's intended constructively. Those ar two ways that AEW could improve without changing what they are as a promotion, two ways for AEW to be the best AEW it can be. And, yeah, long may AEW continue! You make a lot of points, and I'd like to respond to all of them but I am short on time. So, I have picked three. 1) I appreciate that. We don't often see eye to eye but we both generally make the effort to listen to actually hear what the other is saying, I think, which is a good thing

Well putting aside the fact that pointing out the inequities black QBs face in the league vs. white QBs is about the coldest take one could have - Brissett played two years (20 games worth) before being giving that deal as opposed to one playoff game that was a loss and said white QB got hurt in thus continuing his streak of getting hurt in every single game he has played in the NFL. If I was gonna hot take on that specific offer it would be because Jim Irsay was a drunk
