You can digitally de-age but can you digitally take your cast out of Rascal scooters and walkers?

I wonder if Jericho is at least self aware enough to stick to his “hits.” I remember a friend telling me he saw one of those tours a while back, late 90s/early 2000s, featuring a handful of pop radio acts. Like you’d see Smashmouth, Sugar Ray, Natalie Imbruglia, whoever. Lou Bega started and ended his set with Mambo Number 5 and my friend swore he played it once or twice in the middle. I hope Jericho does that with Judas.

what are they gonna do, throw you overboard?
If the alternative is listening to Jericho speak sing through an hour of Dollar Tree Stryper songs, I’ll take my chances on the open sea.

Seeing the gym I belong to pop up in these banner ads is fucking with me.

@Petey hey man, good for you! That's so awesome to hear. I know quite a few people on GLP-1s and nobody should ever feel bad about getting help with health. Getting weight off and being healthy is so important. I've had a few doctor/hospital visits in the past few months (everything's fine) and it just sucks to see so many waiting rooms (I almost wrote "weighting rooms" in a masterful Freudian slip) filled with unhealthy people. Getting healthy and staying that way is so important, especially as we get older. Keep doing your best and I wish you well on this health journey, friend.

MJF doesn't need the belt to have a compelling match at All In, he has a huge list of people who hate him.
Damn, I haven't even considered this...MJF/Page, hate-filled rematch. Nice. Meanwhile, Darby beats MJF for the belt, only for Swerve to do something suitably dastardly to win it from him, setting up Swerve/Ospreay.

She didn't look that good. Y'all must've been gettin' hiiiiigh high instead because that shit is hilarious. The little kids breakdancing and the bear doing the flowy thing with his arms cracked me up.
Brother, times were lean back then. It was Xuxa, the morning block on ESPN2, or the spank bank.

Guess I’m the only one who thought the new UE were good other than the Italian junior guy botching stuff. Way better than The Dogs.
Oh no, even with the genericness of Newman and Akira, I still prefer them to the Dogs based on:
Henare
Presentation as top guys
The fact that I just spent 5 minutes trying to remember Finlay, who is somehow more generic than Newman.

He and the other white guy from UE both kinda look like they star in the Universal Studios Will Ospreay Stunt Spectacular
That’s tremendous!
If this ends up with Don Callis telling the B level members of the family to kidnap Ospreay, and they nab one of these guys accidentally instead, all is forgiven. YOU IDIOTS! YOU CAPTURED HIS STUNT DOUBLE!

I've never seen Callum Newman before and holy fuck he's underwhelming. At the very least, he and Akira should wear different gear so they don't just look like the lab failed at cloning Ospreay.

Fun fact, when Copeland & Cage win the titles on Sunday, it will be the first time they have won tag team gold together in 25 years. (Last reign ended 4/17/2001)
Jesus.
C&C, Hurt Syndicate, and Jericho all coming back at the same time, raising the average age of the roster by 10, doesn't feel great from a perspective of what I selfishly want from wrestling. Maybe TK is just doing market manipulation and owns stock in Ensure.

First Alberto Del Rio gets accused of domestic violence again, and now you're telling me deathmatch workers might be maladjusted, violent weirdos? Stop. I can only take so many shocks this week.

promo packages for Kenny and MJF were great. The closing segment…not so much. Kenny is not a good promo.
5 hours ago, Shartnado said:Kenny, that is not how you pronounce "annals of time", but do carry on!
If you've ever heard Kenny just speak in a normal situation, like the handful of times he's been interviewed by Meltzer, he sounds normal. But then he goes out on TV and cuts promos like an alien trying to pass as a human.
Maybe it's from working Japan so long? I've read something to the effect of, "Kenny cuts promos for people whose only exposure to English is anime."

Prodigy had a fun single, with a cool video, called "Baby's Got a Temper," which, in a bit of meta goofiness, samples Firestarter. Outrage mongers lashed out because the song mentions rohypnol, conveniently ignoring the fact that the chorus mentions taking it together as a downer and not just straight up roofying someone.

In my defense I did not watch the trailer, I just saw somebody mention firestarter and immediately got pumped.
As one does!

Three posts and nobody noticed it was Breathe and not Firestarter? Shameful. May the ghost of Keith Flint be a troublestarter, a punkin' instigator, for you tonight.

Who is #3? I think NJPW still makes more money than CMLL generally speaking.
3 hours ago, SovietShooter said:CMLL runs over 300 shows a year though, and they all probably draw at least 3000. They drew over one million fans last year across all their arenas. So CMLL might not pull in the same money as NJPW, but they sell a helluva lot more tickets.
Yeah, I was thinking CMLL, in terms of popularity, drawing, and their connection to AEW, but I did leave wiggle room with that “probably.”

NJPW’s crash has been a perfect storm of a lot of things…Covid, one-year rotating contracts, unwillingness to poach hot young talent due to cultural norms, but two that haven’t been mentioned are the growth of AEW, and WWE’s approach to hiring. There was a time where WWE wouldn’t touch Japanese wrestlers (except maybe one on the roster as a gimmick) and didn’t feel the need to poach Gaijin either. AEW didn’t exist yet. So unless you were cool with making a living on US indies, Japan was the place to be. It was literally the only other major promotion. All that has changed and Japan is no longer this aspirational thing for guys too small, too talented, too not WWE, too Japanese, etc., because all those criteria no longer exist. And I’m not even mentioning Mexico yet.
NJPW was eating good when they were the #2 promotion in the world and WWE mostly ignored their talent. Now they’re probably #4 and their talent has more options.

I'm just really happy they kept Davis active after Doyle's injury, and are slotting him in wherever they need him. Far better than icing a talented worker because his partner is hurt. Funny enough, Davis getting hurt and Tony deciding to keep Fletcher active is how we got Fletcher as a singles star. Fuck it, put the TNT title on Davis.

Meltzer on the pod saying that, if he didn't know any better, we're getting a heel stable of McAfee, Ari, Vince, and Roman, is awesome. LOOOOL this dumb company. Booking is at 2000 WCW levels.

Someone posted on here a while back that they noticed a growing corner of wrestling discussion that seemed to believe the pro wrestling was real ("Stone Cold would've kicked this guy's ass!") which I also noticed, but now even more recently I've noticed a growing trend of "wrestling fan" who understands how wrestling works but also seems to think everything is some sort of shoot. Like after the whole McAfee turn, I saw more than one tweet asserting that "Cody has gone off-script!", "Cody is trashing the angle and standing up for us fans!" etc. And it's...no?! Like if Cody gets the microphone and starts trashing WWE off-script, they turn the microphone off. They don't stay with it and promote it on their socials. Like every single thing is a worked shoot, or just a shoot. "You can tell how much they hate each other!" It's really odd. I genuinely think if this forum goes down, I probably just drift away from wrestling, cuz there's nowhere else worthwhile.
Media literacy is at an all-time low and WWE is doing worked shoots like TKO gives them a bonus for every one they book. It's a perfect storm of dumbassery.

TK will be on Russo & Coach's podcast tomorrow at 4:30PM EST.
Apparently he does watch JCW Lunacy on the regular, which makes all of this Willie Mack stuff even more strange lol
I’m glad I switched back to Downcast…downloading this one episode would have wrecked my Spotify algorithm.

Thanks! I already have that disabled, and the ad was was actually popping up on my desktop, which I've never used for gym-related activities. Maybe location services fuckery.
