Michael Cole used to always say "If you could build a WWE Superstar from the ground up, you would create Randy Orton".
McMahon, who clearly fed Cole that line, never realized what a massive self-own that was.

I still haven’t seen it but I don’t understand the fuss about a part timer in minute 14 of his career turning heel.

I only clicked on this thread half out of curiosity, but in the 30 seconds I looked at it, I was reminded that, why yes, a fat tub of shit whose only talents were 1. bleeding (and not even in a good way like that guy from Australia who died), and 2. talking about how fucking great he was, happened to be the perfect person to call himself "The American Dream", since that, too, is a goddamned sickness at this point.
I’d say Dusty was a little more talented than that, but I really do like your metaphor a lot.

I had a slightly more upscale Chinese restaurant’s “house beer” today, a rice lager actually made for the restaurant group (no, fuck you, it’s not PF Chang’s) by Mobtown Brewing in Baltimore. Light on the alcohol at 4.5%, which is fine since it was midday. Very crisp and refreshing. The place was slammed and service was slow, so I only had one. But god damn, the food was nice.
It’s a 3 day weekend and I’m keeping it local with a mixed 12 pack from DC Brau. I’ll report back on it.

Cena should cut promos about actually making it as an actor, but that might be too sensitive a subject.

I don't get bringing in Mike Bailey as Karate Man
That's his gimmick. I don't love it but it's not like they're going to change the dude's gimmick. Though I'd be cool with Mike Baily, Fighting Accountant.

Durag MJF incoming!
I told you guys about Bailey! Nice to be vindicated. Talented guy but needs to cut the schtick by 75%. Or dial it up to 1000%, only cut dubbed promos and every feud starts because he claims his opponent killed his teacher and/or dishonored the Shaolin Temple.

The really sad one is Cigar City in Tampa who made some fun beers, and they recently basically had their brew team and production shut down. Craft beer in general is on a decline because production costs are significantly up making it hard to produce, people are drinking less in general because quitting alcohol is huge in the influencer space these days or if they are they're doing low cal vodka seltzers, and being California sober is more the norm as legalization continues to expand.
Ah man. I really liked Jai Ali and your post makes me realize why I haven't seen it in a while.
I mentioned it before, but my local beer stores are run by the county government, whose prices are really good, and they cut their beer stock a while back in order to give privately owned stores a chance to compete. But most of the privately owned places by me are way overpriced and sell beer past the sell by date. There's a place by me I'm positive I can go to right now and pay $16 for a pumpkin ale from October. So the county stores cut their beer from 4-5 aisles to one and now those aisles previously dedicated to beer are taking up by seltzers, vodka drinks, and the like.
Annnnnnd there's apparently a tariff on aluminum, so fuck brewers, I guess. Nice job.

Cope will have to cope with doing a job next week.
THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR THE COPESTER BROTHER! WHAT WE NEED IS
BROTHER BRUTICHRISTIAN INTERFERING, IN DRAG, AND MOX PINS HIM DUDE!MVP recruiting MJF is awesome because it shuts up all the unimaginative folks who can't see past The Nation of Domination, and continually speculate on which black wrestler MVP will recruit next.
Now I really want to see an angle where MJF agrees to join but misreads the whole situation and shows up in a dashiki or dressed like Ali G.
Megan Bayne poses so much she probably has like 12 finishers stored and ready to go.

Thatcher has some kind of trainer/mentor role within the ID system. He’s worked some of the other guys, as well.
I don’t think there’s any evidence that ID specifically prevents their guys from jobbing, which is good. However, it would not at all surprise me if some of the ID talent was independently A) using the affiliation to get out of doing jobs, and/or B) asking indies for more money than they’re worth because they’ve got the WWE ID tag, thus kinda playing themselves out of work.
lol this is carny as fuck and I can’t decide whether I hate it or love it. “I might be in NXT in two years, brother. I need a hundred more, trans, and no job.”

I'm really intrigued by this, for multiple reasons. For decades the WWE has tried to control the narrative that their product is the only one worth watching, and a large part of their fanbase has bought into that. So WWE trying to get folks to pay attention to select Independent promotions, involving talent that their fanbase has never seen, in environments they have no control over, is fascinating.
I can't link the Tweet, so here's the reddit story on it. If it's true that WWE ID workers can't job to non WWE ID workers, and some WWE ID workers have no-showed bookings to make Evolve tapings, I wouldn't bring them on, either.

My tastes have changed, and the quality has lessened since Boston Beer Company acquired them
I didn't even know about this. Every goddamn time.
Awesome craft brewing company, large and varied group of beers, cool seasonals, etc --> get bought by giant company --> quality drops and variety of offerings is drastically cut to the nothing but the 1-3 beers that sell the best.
Add Dogfish Head to the pile with Magic Hat and Lagunitas (I still drink Lagunitas but I miss their other beers outside the two that they sell now). Enjoy your cool craft brewers while you can!

Yeah, but Tree of Woe is already such a good name.
I remember when Excalibur used to call it "Tree of Joey Lawrence" but that's a dated reference.

I love the last minute, "here are all the guys who are still healthy after the PPV" tournament. OC vs Hechicero is going to be awesome.

Swerve never should have lost that belt.
Exactly. Danielson is awesome but no way did he need a gold watch reign with less than four months left on his full time career. That was absolutely TK making a markish decision.

I can sort of see where @Gordi the BJW fan is coming from somewhat, but the way I look at it is I want to see AEW building younger guys, exclusively. I don't want past their prime "legends" who, more often than not, just feel like they're out-carnying a guy they see as a money mark to get a payday, getting pushed to the top of the card. I don't want 51 year old Adam Copeland in the main event scene. I want him building people. Ditto Christian -- is Nick Wayne really getting ahead in this act? I know the Hurt Syndicate is an over act, but their combined age is 150 and they have more time behind them than ahead of them, and all they're doing is eating guys up. People bitch about Jericho but when was the last time he was at the top of the card?
I remember the old story of when Heyman was being considered to run TNA. He told Dixie she could keep one "legend" and that was her dealbreaker. I don't want AEW to become TNA. Oh, so you have a legend or two on your roster? Cool, there's some veteran presence to help the young guys. You have multiple legends on the roster? Congrats, you have an old roster.

Jericho paid a lot of money for that hair! He's not putting it up against some midcarder!
I remember before he got a transplant or whatever, Jericho would end up looking like Bill Murray in Kingpin 3/4 of the way through any long match.
I can't wait for one of these old time carnies to shoot about how wrestlers used to lose hair matches when they started noticeably balding. Now they go to Turkey with a briefcase full of cash.

So then told him look, brother...I'm not laying down, and you're not laying down, so bring in somebody else to lay down, dude. Remember that, Cope brother dude jack, you might need it someday.

Just thinking more about Claudio...was the Kings of Wrestling the most effectively he's ever been used? Man oh man do I wish Hero could get back in full time shape and motivation.

I suspect if we did a new vote we'd be up near 85%-90% for NO votes. There has been no redeeming qualities to this angle.
I like Pac. I like Yuta. I like Claudio. I'm a low voter on Mox but he still has his moments where he does shit I like. But just the totality of what this is and the vagueness of their motives / lack of direction for those opposing them... it's not good.
July can't get here soon enough.
Yep. My initial response was something like, "I don't love the angle and their motivation is vague, but at least it's a long-term storyline and something intriguing might happen." Now it's been weeks and weeks of the same old shit. Their only motivation is the explanation, "we want a whole AEW full of Jon Moxleys." I have no idea what the fuck that means. If it means they want to turn all the non-serious, video game playing kids into edgelord ass-kickers, cool. But maybe DO THAT. Have the Death Riders indoctrinate a person or two. Something.
Mox was great in the past as a fired up babyface face of AEW in light of the Punk bullshit. But this cult leader cosplay is lame.
Pac is fine but he's been lapped by every other younger guy on the roster who does what he does and more.
Yuta is good in his role of confused, abused young dude.
Claudio is god's perfect horse. He is strong and impressive and bores me to tears. He's Malenko and Brad Armstrong -- a guy with a fun IRL personality who can't translate it to the ring.

If Dynamite starts with a notification that the Death Riders and Edge died on their way back to their home planet, I'd be fine with it.

Is it that hard to not be shitty to strangers on the Internet for having differing opinions about fake fighting? Someone says something you disagree with and offends your rasslin sensibilities. Possible reactions:
A) Just ignore their post
B) Engage, say "I disagree and here's why" without being a massive dick
C) FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER
Come one, dudes. It's not worth it to get this riled up and awful to others over people in their underwear pretending to fight.

Daniel Garcia on commentary, with his ridiculous Mark Wahlberg circa 1990 vocal affect, made me want to drive a butter knife through my ears.
