Somehow it's so fitting that it's an iconic AEW moment and JR brings it down. Excalibur: "Eddie Kingston with a can of gasoline!!!!" JR: "We assume it's a can of gasoline!" It somehow wouldn't be AEW without JR shitting on something. Or maybe he was just in denial from Kane-induced PTSD.

Goofus murders The Infantry for 10+ minutes before giving them a slip-on-a-banana-peel win. Gallant beats The Infantry but makes them look like they belong while doing it.

Type 1 diabetes vs type 2 diabetes

I can get with the gist of it. It sucks that women work hard to be respected and seen on the same level as the men, but then seemingly the only thing that gets attention is this male gaze oriented bullshit. At the same time, it’s a WWE performer giving an interview, so it’s likely a work.

It’s almost like Tony don’t care anymore.

Why do we need Dustin Rhodes, whose only storyline is to pop up every 7-10 weeks and say “I’m old but I still love rasslin,” getting 12 meaningless minutes on TV? They’re never doing anything else with him. Maybe let one of your younger, more talented JTTS guys like Kommander or Bryan Keith get a TV win and invest in your future a bit. Jesus fuck. What does Dustin on TV do for anyone?

Wrestling Challenge s1e6 kicks off with a murderer vs a domestic abuser, introduced by a sexual predator and referred by a…checks notes…t-shirt bootlegger. Old wrestling is tough to watch sometimes.

Wikipedia says about two months. He debuted the gimmick in late December 95 but the episode aired in early January 96. By March 11, he dropped the nickname.

Not to be outdone, TNA is going to hold a PPV called “Falcon Crest” in May.

Nothing like hiring a wrestler who only knows WWE’s style of presentation, then hiring a writer — just for her — who only knows WWE’s style. Shit, why not go for the trifecta and hire Kevin Dunn to direct her segments?

So I got a PS5 recently and just started playing FirePro. It’s pretty great (I used to play 6 Man Scramble with a buddy back in 96 on his modded Saturn). I’m working through the story mode right now as a heavyweight. Can anyone tell me if it’s any different playing as a junior? Thanks!

Hook, ironically. Anderson, with complete sincerity.

Hangman will push Swerve down a flight of stairs before the main event at Dynasty.

Yeah, all this. I’m sincerely holding out hope that she’s incredible in the ring, because everything she’s done so far just feels inauthentic and dull. When the person working a supernatural spooky witch gimmick feels more like a fully realized human being than you do, something is terribly wrong.

The shift in public perception of celebs doing commercials is like this, too. Back in the day, celebs would sneak off to Japan to make that sweet, secret advertising money. Today we have Oscar winners shilling everything in broad daylight.

“Blackpool Combat Kings” and ”Kings of Blackpool” both sound awesome.

Wrestling is far different from acting, of course, because of kayfabe. Carrol O’Connor didn’t stay in character in real life, going around trying to convince the marks that Archie Bunker was a real person. I don’t think any wrestler should get the protection of “I was just playing a character” when called out for on-screen racism when they went out of their way to convince everyone that they weren’t playing a character in every other aspect. You couldn’t just selectively kayfabe. When we see “our guest tonight is Joe Anoai, who plays Roman Reigns on TV,” then we can talk about wrestlers distancing themselves from their characters.

I grew up in Baltimore and lived either in the city or in the area until my mid-30s but, like @NikoBaltimore, I only went on the Key Bridge a few times in my life. What a tragedy and just a rough situation for Baltimore.

No, but fans do wonder what the hell they’re doing here. Word is the general impression is they don’t belong here.

Vince did Saudi shows despite the outcry after the Kashoggi murder. He absolutely would have played Sun City.

Even with only two people at the gym, odds are that guy is still on the pec deck right when you need it.

Yes! The fact that he had three matches with Rude and only one was any good is the telling part. I need to dig through the WWE network thread and find my notes. Rude was so awesome and Warrior almost killed him at least twice.

Same guy was there today. After his extensive Smith benching, he did Smith squats, with even worse ROM than benching! I swear, maybe 10 degree knee bends. I’m fascinated.

I’m just saying Becky crediting Vince alone with all her good fortune in life is sad.

Exactly! They’d be a great get 10-15 years ago.
