    Did I see a random spider crawl across the top of my television while Mox had Swerve in the resthold or did I just take some REALLY good shit tonight??  🤔

    It's the tease for Thekla, who's coming in.  They've been doing it for maybe three weeks now.

    Slowing the hot MJF/Hurt Syndicate angle in favor of a match against a team nobody cares about, promoted by a rambling, stumbling, fumbling Dustin promo, is certainly a choice.  Kudos to Dustin for getting himself together and 17 years sober, that's incredible, but his wrestling character is corny as fuck.  Surprised he didn't just start quoting "this is my fight song, take back my life song!  I got a lot of fight left in meeeee!"

    The Bowens situation reminds me of post-Shield babyface Roman, where the over group broke up and the babyface they were hell-bent on pushing got to keep all the over group's iconography in desperate hope that their overness would transfer to him.  Bowens gets to keep the scissoring and Billy Gunn but god damn, it's not helping.  Also, his entrance gear wins the Ax and Smash award for worst unintentional S&M getup.  I lol every time I see the bottoms of his titties and little nips sticking out.

    Fun show aside from that dumb shit.  Sorry to come off negative...it's been a week.

    I asked Beau about it and he said they ran that deal every year in Foley Beach, Alabama. And it was in the Gulf not a lake. Which might explain why my searching was coming up empty.

    You probably couldn't find it because you searched "Gulf of Mexico."  🤣  🙁

    My Aunty has passed away from Dementia, the fourth of my family to do so. I get a text to find Jodie, my mental health nurse has left her post and won't be coming back. I'm not close on my Dad's side of the family but had time for my Aunty and her husband for seeing my Mum in hospital. I didn't expect the news about Jodie, she's really helped me and I was relying on her to get me through June, my biggest trigger month as it's the anniversary of my Mum's passing. This year has sucked.

    Sorry to hear that, Paul.  I lost my own grandmother to dementia as well.  It really sucks.  Best of luck finding new mental health help, and hang in there.  Feel free to PM if you’re having difficulty next month, buddy.

  4. People don't even leave their houses to spend time in their communities, either.  Every community is now a "bedroom community."  I just got back from running for an hour and a half, mostly through residential areas, late afternoon, and I could count the number of people out and about on one hand.

  5. On the “loneliness epidemic” thing…I don’t know, man.  I think the male loneliness/incel (“male loneliness” taken to its extreme) thing and the apparent rise of mental illness and/or conspiracy culture, both of which are mentioned in this thread, are just things that always existed but were given greater voice and power by the rise of the internet.  Like, we always had sad guys angry because they couldn’t get a girlfriend and we always knew that kooky dude who wrote nutty letters to your local paper.  But now they have a megaphone and a way to gather, organize, and discuss their gripes, persecution complexes, and general anger at a system they perceive to be against them.  So this stuff just spreads because the hardcores infect the more normal but maybe slightly affected people in these circles.  And that’s not even taking into consideration the fuel that bad actors throw on the fire just to drive us all apart.  So yeah, I blame the Internet.  This is kind of a half-baked idea that I’ve been kicking around, so I apologize if it’s a little out there or not fully realized.

    Russell Madness - Imagine Air Bud but replace basketball with pro-wrepro-wrestling,  add a talking monkey voiced by Will Sasso, John Ratzenberger and way too much melodrama for what is obviously a "family film" and... you get Russell Madness.

    You cannot tell me that they had to change the name of this movie from Russell Mania for fear of being sued by WWE. All this and you know the stupidest thing about this movie is that it hot made in 2015!

    James

    Reminds me of the PWG show Kurt RussellMania, which the had to change the follow year due to similar threats.

    This morning I found a can of Lagunitas Little Sumpin Sumpin' IPA for $1 at my local grocery store. I guess it was close dated or something close to that to get the price discounted 75%.

    I'll say it again: that is a tasty beer.

    I bought Lagunitas IPA this past weekend after somebody was drinking it in a dream I had a few days before -- I took that as a sign.  It's a really flavorful, great example of West Coast IPA done well.  Actual flavor is something I think IPAs miss maybe half the time.  I had a hazy IPA a few weeks ago, can't remember which brand, and it was bitter and vaguely citrusy, but didn't really have a lot of flavor.  Props to Lagunitas for still making really good-tasting beers despite being majority owned by Heiniken.

    It’s amazing how different the tone and vibe of this is to prior DC stuff.  I can’t wait for this.

    Yeah, man.  With the exception of the Nolan Batman films, I'm not a DC guy at all.  But I loved the Guardians of the Galaxy films, so I'm definitely up for this.  Watching the trailer, this is absolutely a Superman movie made by the GotG guy.  It has heart.

  9. Counterpoint: it might just be me, but once Savage became a milquetoast good guy in a full body suit, I lost interest in him.  Savage cheering on the babyfaces as a commentator on Raw was so against what he'd been in the past.  Same with Piper.  Babyface Piper post-comeback was garbage.

    Funny thing, I took my daughter to a convenience store and there was a Macho Man bust-type display for Slim Jims and I had to explain to her who Randy Savage was.  That was pretty cool.

    Paul E. should have realized how much money he was making and understood that he would have done the exact same thing

    That's called empathy, something old school wrestling promoters don't have or have surgically removed as a rite of passage before they promote their first show.

    Allegedly Tony put out at message that said the match was going to be shown in it's entirety on Max and for the West Coast feed; I haven't read about anyone that's actually gotten to see the rest of the show yet.

    It apparently did not air in its entirety on the west coast.  As of the time I'm writing this (Monday morning), it's still not on the Max app.

    Just when I think society can't get any lower, someone tries to kiss Saraya on the mouth at an autograph signing. 

    Is there a study on why wrestling fans are so fucking weird?  I vaguely remember reading a post where someone theorized that wrestling and other very niche/geeky hobbies attract a larger amount of antisocial people, people who are neurodivergent, etc....essentially that person's theory was that, a larger swath of wrestling fans, compared to other, more mainstream fandoms, really don't pick up on norms like being cool to people in public, showering regularly, etc.  But that was just one thing one person wrote.  Is there any more on this?

    i did a bit more digging and came to the same conclusion (see edited post). Really, that just left me with more questions. 

    Is this just a stupid PR move to get their name out there? i guess it worked on me. 

    Sounds like when Chi Chi’s went out of business (RIP!) and Hormel bought the IP  to sell Chi Chi’s branded food in grocery stores.  Maybe we get Hooter’s Real American wing sauce at your local grocer (if your local grocer has absolutely awful taste).

    I think what's most telling is that Jade Cargill and Ricky Starks' themes are as close as their AEW theme as they can be without anyone getting sued.

    Does Jade’s theme still start with her saying “a storm……….is coming” in as robotic, bored sounding monotone as any human being has ever achieved?

  15. Def Rebel will never make anything that even vaguely sniffs the same universe as Eddie Kingston's DMX knockoff theme or either of Hangman's themes.  PS I know Hangman's songs are just knockoffs of Ecstasy of Gold and Man with a Harmonica, they still rule.

  16. Can we get a mockbuster of this, maybe starting Statham, rising from the dead and whupping up on the Romans, pharisees, non-believers, etc.?  Pontius Pilate could be the end boss, maybe Judas as the penultimate bad guy.  Make it like Crank where The Risen Lord must pray or heal someone every x amount of time or he starts losing energy.
