Something I have noticed (and am a bit ashamed of) is people using straight cash at the dispensary exclusively, whereas I am using my debit card. They... they have a point.
I use my debit card for everything, but this particular dispensary only takes cash or Jane Pay, whatever that is. PayPal for stoners, I guess. The other dispensary near me takes debit, but treats it like an ATM transaction where you need to put in your PIN, and then they round up to the nearest 10 and give you change. Dispensaries are weird, man.

@Andrew POE! they made a Teen Wolf cartoon series, too. It’s probably on Youtube. The 80s were nuts.

There’s an island where they have no contact with the outside world; some missionary went there and they killed him, and if you try to fly over it they shoot arrows at you. TK needs to float the rumor that they’re doing a residency there.

If you'd have told me last week that Dynamite would begin and end with talking segments and I'd love the show, I wouldn't have believed you.
Only complaint was that I really wish they'd have put the TNT belt on Fletcher. I'm no fan of Cole, but have to admit that the live crowds are into him. I just think the time is right for elevating Fletcher some.
Oh, and that match reminded me that the Panama Sunrise is one of the dumbest moves ever. I would say the dumbest, but I saw a clip from (I think) NXT where a girl does a flip off the top rope and her opponent basically dives into a cutter and that was dumber.
You don’t like an imploding flip into a cutter while time stands still and the opponent sits and waits for it like a beaten Mortal Kombat opponent waiting for a fatality? It’s like someone saw the dumb setups for the Ozcutter, Lethal Injection, and Cody Cutter and said hold my beer.

So WWE has booked an NXT show for the 2300 Arena a week before the AEW Philly residency. Petty, petty shit. Expect them to make big money legends offers to some ECW vets.
At this rate AEW should start floating false booking plans just to fuck with them. “What do you mean AEW is running Collision on an uninhabited island with no infrastructure and it’s going to cost them six billion to do it? Oh well, go ahead and book it for Great Balls of Fire 2: 2Great 2Balls the week before!”

TNA already had Phi Kappa Slam back in the weekly PPV or maybe Fox Sports Net days.

It would have been better if Excalibur had once wrestled Thekla in Dusseldorf.

I just picked up some gummies today! Not sure if I'd ever try the THC sodas...feels like a lot of effort for the same amount as a gummy.
The dispensary I go to has a bank next to it with two ATMs right in front. I have to believe they're the busiest ATMs in the county. I still can't get over how happy and positive all the people who work at the weed shop are.
But all that talk is for the eventual "Hooray Weed (if it's legal where you are)" thread.

Unless you have a kid. Then it's the same. Or so I hear.
I completely fucked that up and said it backwards. Edited the original post. Kids = short days, long years. Grown ups = days fucking drag because you're always swamped and then the years fly.

Final random thought post: the Frat House is a perfect obnoxious gimmick for a JTTS team and none of them is good enough to accidentally get over (used to think Vance might but I don’t see it anymore) But they should use their first names on their gear, since they are really fratty sounding: Griff, Kole, and Preston. Jacked Jameson is godawful but he kind of works as the obnoxious mouthy roided frat bro.
Preston needs to become Prestyn to really maximize the Modern White People Names (or r/tragedeigh if you reddit) horror.

Vince is the dude who goes to one of those farms that feeds animals, shoots a deer, and calls himself a hunter. And by chance he doesn't make a kill, he buys the next farm over, brings all those animals over, and shoots one of them. If he actually had to go out and track an animal and kill it, I'm not sure he could do it. But when all the animals are gathered around his feeder, he can recognize the animal who's head would look best on his wall.
1 hour ago, supremebve said:Here's the thing, all of them save for Foley would have failed if they stuck with Vince's original idea for them. They all succeeded once they were given the freedom to craft their own characters, which only happened because Vince was all out of ideas and they were going out of business. The thing that no one really brings up is how dumb of an idea the Montreal Screwjob was at the time. Bret Hart was the guy who should have been champion at the time, but Vince wanted to get behind Shawn Michaels. Michaels vs. Austin at Wrestlemania 14 was a big match, but I don't think it's anywhere close to what the blowoff of the Austin vs. Hart feud could have been. If they keep Hart around, I'm almost certain their best period is significantly better. All the guys you named above would have had great matches with Bret Hart, but they decided to screw him over at the worst possible time for everybody involved. They could not have foreseen Shawn Michaels' back injury, but even still Hart was absolutely the better choice to be the champion at the time. They succeeded despite Vince, not because of Vince. He's not a genius, he's just the guy in charge when the actual geniuses saved his company.
Seriously, Vince was a good promoter and had the advantage of having the #1 company in the #1 media markets early, and then just becoming the Coke or Kleenex of wrestling later. But he couldn't create shit. You can look at every boom period's stars and see how little Vince had to do with their success. Hogan came to Vince fully formed. The Attitude Era top guys all started with shitty Vince gimmicks and had to overcome them and provide their own input to become successes. Even Mankind was this close to being "Mason the Mutilator," which would have been DOA. Cena started with no gimmick at all and was this close to being gone before he did the rap thing on a Halloween Smackdown. Undertaker is a bad gimmick done well by the one person who could have ever pulled it off, just a once in a lifetime piece of good luck. What gimmick did Vince ever create himself that became a hit without any changes? Good on anybody who can think of one, but the "misses" column is still far larger. The man has piss poor creative instincts and it's especially obvious seeing how every non-wrestling endeavor of his failed.

I like that one. It's up there with "don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough" and "as a kid, the years are long and the days are short. As an adult, it's the opposite."

I think Harley hurt her right elbow, too. She was favoring it after the pin and it looked like it had a goose egg the size of a 25 cent gumball on it.
No idea how Alexander busted his head open. Maybe one of Brody's back elbows before the arm trapped German suplex? I know the finish was wonky. Brody can typically hit the Gonzo Bomb and protect his opponent with his beefy thighs, but Alexander looked like he might have panicked and started reaching for the mat on the way down to protect himself. But maybe he sensed the move was a little off and that's why he did that. No idea.

Same guy who shit all over wrestlers asking for help during the pandemic, now using social media to embarrass himself begging for a movie role. Every once in a while, people get what's coming to them. You love to see it.

How refreshing to be able to buy a ticket in the lower bowl for a PPV event for $75
But what does that $75 get you? Wrestling? No problematic mumble rappers, Youtubers, right wing manosphere "comedians," nothing? Who wants to see wrestling in 2025?

This past weekend's beer was Flip Coast IPA, a west coast IPA by Lone Oak Brewing, which is super local to me -- they're in Olney, MD, which is like 15 minutes from where I work. I believe all their beers come in four-packs of 16oz cans (so you get 8oz less than your standard six pack of 12 ouncers). It was maybe a little better than average, which was kind of disappointing, especially because it was like $18. Not terrible, but not great, either. As far as west coast IPAs go, it wasn't as flavorful as the Lagunitas IPA I'd had the prior week. This brewery has a lot of styles in the beer section of my local store, though, and payday is this week, so I might try another one by them, maybe the Czech Pilsner. I'll let you know.

Is this Johnny Ace's second turn in the case? I believe he first claimed he was just as much a victim as Grant was, but then later he joined McMahon's side of the case. Now this. One more turn and he's entering Big Show or Paul Orndorff territory.

Jim Steinman, Cyndi Lauper, Weird Al, and Hulk Hogan is certainly a list of people that Derringer was associated with
guessing that Jim Steinman wasn't contacted to make songs for WWF guys because they didn't want 7 minute long theme songs sung by Meat Loaf
I hate to "well actually" you, but "Hulk Hogan's Theme" on the first Wrestling Album is by Jim Steinman (reworked later by Steinman as "Ravishing" for a Bonnie Tyler album). Also, Meat Loaf appears in the WWF's Land of 1,000 Dances" video.
Steinman was an incredible composer/writer/producer.

Cody made a great point in one of his promo battles with Cena in the lead-up to WrestleMania: Cena and WWE created so many disillusioned fans from 2002 to 2019 that it opened the door for something like AEW to even exist.
....
All of this to say that AEW coming around probably saved my interest in wrestling being killed for good this time around (and they brought Punk back into the fold, which is a negative for the majority here). They don't do everything right, but they don't do a whole fuckton wrong in my eyes either.
Both of these are pretty much where I am.
I was a wrestling fan since early 1985, got into Crockett maybe two years after that. Liked ECW, went to some ROH shows and bought some of their DVDs. By 2010, wrestling just sucked. WWE was just coasting on the same acts forever with nothing fresh, a fat, lazy, happy promotion 10 years into having no competition. I didn't watch TNA, nor was I that interested in ROH. I was just blah. Then I heard Alvarez review a show he went to: PWG Battle of Los Angeles 2010. He made it sound like a blast; a super fun alternative to WWE's presentation. I pirated it and the rest is history. I never missed another one of their shows after that, and started paying for their DVDs and later streams after a while. PWG's style and approach to wrestling saved my fandom. That company is possibly gone now (on hiatus since late 2023), but it is firmly in the DNA of AEW and that's why I love AEW. It's fun, it's not corporate, and it seems to be run by a guy whose only insane tendencies are about pro wrestling. What's not to love there?

So apparently a new Street Fighter movie is being made because rumorz have if that Roman Reigns is being considered to be Akuma in the film.
Then there's whatever this is:
...oh Adam. No girl no....
More cringeworthy than Sean Young's homemade Catwoman costume "audition" for Batman Returns on the Joan Rivers show.
