Swerve knows what he did was wrong and Hangman knows he went over the line too.

I think it’s only 7 episodes this season.

Early screening. I believe it goes through his final Pride fight where he knocked himself silly and then got TKO'd. So it goes through his downfall. I don't think it gets into what his post-Pride career was like.

Yeah...It started like 3 or 4 weeks ago. Grubb was really excited to announce something new with streaming, there was a leadership change at Fandom, and the new guy in charge was like "live streaming?! The fuck is that? Fuck that, no live streaming" and so every single Giant Bomb video and podcast series went dark for about a week or two while everyone left at GB tried to figure out what to do. And apparently the thing to do was to burn it all down and kill it themselves before Fandom could ruin it further. Good on them. I also had no idea of any of the PG-13 mandates on GB mainly because I just stick with Nextlander and Jeff Gerstman's podcasts or with whatever Abby or Jess are up to. I was sad to hear about or read about the litany of bullshit everyone left at GB have been putting up with. My personal hypothesis is that they all saw the writing on the wall and figured they'd all be out of a job soon so they just decided to force Fandom's hand.

Hangman is the hero we need and the hero we deserve.

For those not in the know, what has remained of Giant Bomb has been fucked over super hard by Fandom, the most recent company they got sold to. Fandom’s most recent move was to prohibit any live streams for whatever dumb fucking reason. It was an edict from their new owner or whatever. So today may well have been the very last day ever for Giant Bomb because on the Bombcast today they brought that old fuck you I won’t do what you tell me energy back and ran with a bit where Dan played the Fandom Safety Guidance Officer and started reading actual real rules that Fandom had handed down to them awhile back regarding the use of profanity and other stupid shit and then the podcast video and audio both got nuked mid-stream. People keep trying to put up the recording on archive.org only for Fandom to pull it down again. Bless those beautiful bastards. This is how you burn it all down.

Ok, I can't deny him anymore. Dirty Dom is officially in my list of favorite wrestlers right now with Hangman, Swerve, Okada, and a couple others. This quote had me dying. Dirty Dom is the best wrestler on WWE's roster.

Spice Girls you say?

I have my tickets to see this first thing on Thursday. I'm more than looking forward to seeing it and then I'll catch it again with my wife and daughter.

My understanding is that the movie is dogshit, but damn, they did a good job making the Rock look like Mark Kerr.

I don’t disagree about his body, but we’ll now see if his back is as finished as one would think and if Black is telling the truth that he’s 100%. That last singles match he had with Cole though…Man, he was moving like an 80 year old afterward. I think he can work a good singles style that isn’t shoot style too. The Cody match was good, so was the Cole match. There are others I’m forgetting so the ability is there.

In a better timeline, Black never gets dicked around by Vince, don’t go to AEW even though I liked him there, and has 2 or 3 world title runs by now.

Right. You’d run into a situation where people would start cheering for Mariah on her way out as she’s being jobbed out to whoever and then be resentful that Mariah left for WWE.

Do you cry about this same shit when someone, let’s just use Glenn Close on the Shield as an example, are brought into into an established tv series and universe for 1 or 2 seasons and are then done with that tv show after that?

Oh. It just dawned on me. Cena's basically ripping off Danielson's "FICKLE" gimmick, minus the hemp belt.

Uhhhhh...soooo...the Cubs are...pretty good...I hesitate to even say this or think about it much knowing that it will just turn out to be a dream. Their bullpen is fucking dogshit though.

Mariah isn't being used probably because her story is over. Why carve out more time on tv and take tv time away from someone else for someone who served their purpose, played out a storyline over the course of two years, and is destined to leave the company. It isn't like she has a ton of time left on her contract anyway. If she's put on tv all people are going to want to see is her and Toni and that's done. In some cases I'm not in favor of purely not using someone, but in the case, fuck it, that storyline ruled and she has earned some time off before she goes and signs to NXT.

Mongo would never be the best wrestler or a traditional hall of famer, but dammit, he's in the hall of fame of wrestlers that weren't really good, but I enjoyed the fuck out of anyway for a multitude of reasons.

Loooool Sanders is the Narcos meme right now.

Stanley Cup playoffs played a role too with one of the games being broadcast on two different channels.

Rick Ross

One of these tribute shows needs a multi person tag with Team Glitteratti on one side and Team Beefy on the other side.

That and not to say “ooh oooh! That was me!” But like right after I made a remark about sending a maniac to catch a maniac with regards to Hangman going after Mox, Swerve cuts a promo on Mox saying the same thing. Again, it’s a movie quote and it’s probably a coincidence, but it’s just another example of odd occurrences. So TK if you are lurking, thank you for doing this.

Tony, or someone close to him, definitely lurks on here. There have been more than a few occasions of us saying so and so should say this or saying it would be funny if such and such happened and then a week later it's on Dynamite or Collision. A couple times and it's a coincidence, but it's happened too many times now. Aside from that, this fucking rules so motherfucking hard. The juxtaposition of this/AEW in general and everything in the week before WM, WM itself, the roast shit, Heyman, and the Rock's comments makes me feel good about always backing this horse.

Or, you know, she served her purpose, lived out a two year long feud that was one of AEW's bests, was champion, Toni returned, worked her way back up, did her reveal that it was an act once the match was setup, reclaimed the title, Mariah went crazy, and then they had an awesome blowoff. Toni is the bigger star, hell, there are more than enough women on the roster to make it to that top spot, and Mariah's time in AEW is over and she can now explore the next step of her career...where there are decent odds she'll be lost in the shuffle, stay in NXT for a year or two, but at least she probably won't be treated with the same disrespect they treated Bayley with.
