According to Meltzer, Mox is working with a back injury. So that’s great.

Yes.

So uh, Enshrouded rules. Even with quest progress being tied to the server and not the player, there’s still plenty to do if you happen to miss out on a quest of your friends do it without you. 4 of us were on the other night and having a good time where one of us would venture out into a shroud, die, someone else would come rescue him, they’d both die, then eventually we’re all there trying to kill some stuff that’s probably a level or two higher than us. Lots of laughing and making progress and then back to gathering materials, building stuff, etc.

Man…this is a depressing video. I didn’t like how he conducted himself in AEW and thought returning to WWE was pretty funny given everything he said, but I can’t help but feel bad for the guy here. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/v4GaXH4EUb

Oof, in all of this I didn’t even think about Punk not main eventing a night of WM.

Another wrinkle to this is that Drew may have just cashed himself a huge paycheck on a contract extension if he really hasn’t re-signed yet. Gunther can’t work EC, Drew is the next logical choice. Or I guess you could have Gunther find a way into the match with Seth and Drew, but I think it would be better for Gunther to drop the IC title at WM.

I just can’t see him ever taking steroids. TRT? Sure? Maybe? It would maybe explain how much bigger he was. At the same time, dude wasn’t that much bigger, but he definitely wasn’t as skinny as he was in AEW. Could be as simple as he bulked up way too much too soon for his frame and it made him more prone to tearing a muscle. Who knows. Or time has really caught up to him, Occam’s razor and all.

FFS, if Punk is seriously injured, AGAIN, then that fucking sucks and seems like it may be message to him that he’s done. I’m not going to lie, I liked what he was doing in WWE and WWE seems like a better home for him than AEW.

God , I can’t believe I’m going to defend HHH here, even though I’m kinda not, but here goes… Tony Khan gets shit on, repeatedly, for giving boilerplate response after boilerplate response to Ariel and really everyone else that there’s an ongoing investigation and he can’t comment. Tony Khan though likely did the right thing in not wanting to discuss it, but it led to him being skewered for awhile. Similar situation, but with a different reason for it, HHH attempts to give the other type of answer which I’ll just say is the politician or even Dana White approach and basically says it’s not something he can talk about, but tries to redirect the focus to everyone else who had success that night to, in my eyes, try to move on from the question. And so HHH is skewered for that too. Not only that, but so many people are saying he should have just given a boilerplate response and that should have been that, but that’s the exact thing everyone shit on the other guy for. Including Meltzer. So what’s the right answer then? Nothing is going to satisfy these people unless you come right out and bury the fuck out of someone and give everyone all of the dirt and the pure unfiltered truth and details about what’s going on, which legally, you can’t and shouldn’t do. Personally, I’m fine with the boilerplate answer and think it works far better than what HHH said. At the same time, from experience, he watched everyone attack the other guy’s credibility for doing that. So, what, you just hope that most of these “reporters” are hypocrites and just accept the “I can’t comment on the details of this and that and won’t be taking any more questions on the matter?” And then I read how Cody’s response was much better, but honestly, he gave a non answer too. His response to what went down this week was to talk about how there’s a dark cloud hanging over, but they’re all a team and they’re all a family. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just how he said and maybe he said it with more confidence and HHH seemed to be searching for the right words to say. I think each, HHH and Cody, tried to skate this middle ground of giving reporters what they want without giving them much of anything, as opposed to just flat out stonewalling them, and Cody sounded more confident. Either way, fuck them reporters. Just stonewall them. It’s a legal matter and a very serious one at that. They’ll keep showing back up even when they cry you didn’t give them any real response.

I’ve been out of the straight edge stuff since I turned 21. I suppose like most things it depends on the person. I know some straight edge folks don’t even take an NSAID, but I think Punk has said before that he’ll only take Ibuprofen and not any pain killers prescribed to him. Although I do the same thing but that’s because the only pain killer that has ever worked for me is ibuprofen. Oxycodone, Vicodin, and muscle relaxers may as well be sugar pills for me.

That was my exact thought. He’s bulkier without looking fat or bloated like how he looked the last time he tried to…ummm…cultivate mass when he got to OVW. Like, dude, I know Cody or Seth are probably the baseline for being thick but not being superhuman big. You also don’t need to look like that. You’re just fine looking like you did in AEW. EDIT: And maybe he’s also started taking T. Hell, I’m not an athlete, but I’m going to be 44 in October and I’m going to start on T next week. So it wouldn’t surprise me if Punk is going through the same shit other folks in their 40s or older start going through, but the difference with Punk if he started taking T is that he also works out all the time so yeah, it’s going to result in him gaining more mass than before, but at the sacrifice of cardio.

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Give me all of that. Fuck. Yeah.

How does Punk have zero cardio now? His arm was fucked up, not his legs. Nothing stopped him from being on a treadmill this whole time and at least keeping his cardio up. I don't think I've ever seen Punk suck this much wind in a ring before. Maybe the closest was when he bulked up way too much in OVW and WWE ECW and he was kinda bloated.

FFS

Oh ffs

Jesus. The slobbering over the Chiefs is going to continue as long as it did for the Patriots, isn’t it? It's legit shocking that teams play the Chiefs so poorly and stupidly in every playoff game. Like last week trying to blitz and put pressure on Mahomes when Mahomes is the slipperiest motherfucker ever. The craziest thing is that in this year multiple teams showed how to beat the Chiefs and then come the playoffs everyone is like, yeah, fuck all that. Whatever. Go Lions. I honestly think the Lions are probably the one team to not fall for this bullshit.

Bobby Valentine disguise.

He would never do that.

It should be noted that the fallout for WWE isn’t over yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if Vince tries to drag others down with him.

And when you leave town tonight, you stay gone, or you be gone.

Pro Wrestling was the very first game I got for the NES. The NES I got didn’t come with Mario and Duck Hunt. The second game I got was Kung Fu. I played so much NES Pro Wrestling.

Welp, time to dive into Enshrouded.

I’m just looking forward to relaxing and watching what I hope is some fun wrestling. I’ll be at a state band competition all freaking day. If I don’t pass out and fall asleep then I’ll hopefully enjoy myself.

I’m legit worried about that cage match on Saturday. Like worried as in “someone gonna die” worry. AEW cage matches are so scary because their cage is stupidly fucking tall and I feel like all 6 dudes are going to go all out to not lose viewers to the RR, which they will anyway. I never worried much about cage matches or ladder matches in WWE. In AEW though, I feel like I should go to the grotto at Notre Dame and light a candle for everyone involved.

I “beat” the Talos Principle with what I think is the good ending? The only bummer is that I think I found every star and then went right to the path I chose to end the game without doing the star puzzle levels so I’m hoping I can go back to go those. Really, really cool game. Love the puzzles. Only had to look up a few online. For the most part I solved most of them pretty quickly and the longest may have taken me 30 to 45 minutes. Looking forward to playing part 2 now.
