Well, it's not been through the post production touch up, so....
I hope that's the case, because this looks like bad cosplay or porn.

I'm guessing they tell the Greek section via flashbacks.

These dumb fucks don't know shit, to boot. Alvarez explained the mechanics of outside the ring moonsaults, and the "moonsault to land on your feet" variety was exactly what Ford was trying to do. Say what you want about him, but the guy was a worker, and also a gymnast, so he probably knows what he's talking about.

oh yeah, Superbrawl 5, the show where some RSPW posters were posting "Shoot Vader Shoot"
(hopefully people who were posting about wrestling on the internet in 1995 were smart enough to figure out why Vader wasn't gonna shoot on Hogan)
Also, just because he was good at stiffing dudes doesn't necessarily mean Vader could throw down. But hey, it was 1995, nobody knew shit. I think UFC drastically brought a lot of people's notions of what a fighter is back down to Earth.
Now I'm wondering if Hogan learned anything about taking care of himself from Matsuda. The idea of Vader stiffing Hogan, only to get put into a sugar hold and crying, is pretty funny.

First show I went to was a WWF house show in '94. Before it even started my sis decided to drop the hammer and go on about how wrestling is fake by pointing out the microphones under the ring. My heart kind of sank but there was still fun to be had. I picked up a Bret Hart water bottle that I still have somewhere (barely if ever used it) and I remember they did 'Taker/Yoko in a casket match that was a big pile of nothing. That and barely remembering I got to see Bret is all I got for that one. The next show however was Superbrawl 5 which I enjoyed a lot more.
Hold up, how could I have forgotten most of this show with a card like this?
Damn, I had no idea SuperBrawl 5 was held in Baltimore. I'm guessing that was in my "not watching WCW because it's corny as fuck seeing 1995 WCW cosplay 1986 WWF" phase.
What sound does 260 pounds of shit hitting the ring make? KWANG!

If Danhausen is in that box, that would be hilarious, since he was the "I want to actually wrestle and be taken seriously" guy fairly recently. No Gimmicks Needed Steve the Samurai over here.
After humiliating him for a few years, HHH has the greatest opportunity to fuck with Punk yet again here. Colt Cabana is in the box.

Social media was a mistake. The ability to reconnect with high school pals is greatly outweighed by the damage done by misinformation, mass manipulation, foreign bad actors fucking with elections, the empowerment of both paranoid weirdos and grifters, and gifting grade A shitheads the ability to talk shit without fear of getting hit.
Can't remember who said it but I love this: It used to be every village had an idiot. Now every idiot has a village.

I saw two WWE house shows, July of 2002 and July of 2003, at a minor league baseball stadium in Frederick, MD. Not great cards or anything, but a fun and really unique venue for a big promotion. I can see why they stopped running there, though. There was a downpour halfway through the 2003 show, causing it to get cancelled and rescheduled for, I think, September. The fun part was that just before the storm started, they were doing a test run of the Boogeyman, so he comes out to cut a promo and I swear, right when he yelled I'M THE BOOGEYMAN there was a massive thundercrack and lightning.

Quick random-ass thoughts
I loved that one leg kickflip dive by Clon. If they wanted someone to do superhuman, crazy shit and get cheers, they picked the wrong guy to play Hologram. Nothing against the artist formerly known as Aramis, but the artist formerly known as Arez is just that much better.
I could tell the gimmicked quarter gag was coming a mile away and it didn't matter. That segment was pro mahfuckin wrestling.
Missing: Roddy. Reward: $15 gift card.
Ah man, Penelope Ford can't catch a break. That sucks. But it does give us the female Skyscrapers, I guess. Team name: Death by Snu Snu.
Swerve just being like, "fuck this shit and all my character growth, I'm a bad guy again" is a little lame, unless the payoff is him catching one more, monumental, final ass whooping from Hangman and coming back to his senses, triumphing after one final temptation by the dark side.
That main event was tremendous. 8 stars, no notes. AEW is just so fun. This shit is a joy to watch. "Fun company where they have insane matches, cool stories, and ICE is not tolerated" vs "the company where the booker's wife was
seig heiling at a fascist rallyclapping along at the State of the Union this week.?" No choice at all, dudes.-

The book is no better - it's supposed to be about how the humans lost the war against the aliens, got bombed back to the Stone Age, then used some weird alien technology to learn everything again and win. Really turned me off ever reading L Ron Hubbard (which is probably just as well).
I wish I remembered the exact wording, but there was a Philip K. Dick book I read where the book's dedication read: "to Ron: I know you don't really believe all that stuff."

got to see both Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium right before we went into the Fort McHenry Tunnel(that goes under the harbor). Easy days make me smile.
95 south? That's a fun view of the city; you're so high up for a bit that it's a little freaky.

My first ever show was main evented by Hogan vs Beefcake in early 1986. Before that that mid-show main event, we were treated to all JTTS matches and, after, a JYD/Valentine no contest and a KIrchner/Tonga vs Volkoff/Sheik DDQ. No idea how that didn't kill my fandom dead right there. It's crazy how Hogan was so big that the A shows could draw with just Hogan vs somebody, and then a card full of shit.
Weird notable appearance I got to see: CM Punk's dark match vs the LOD before a Smackdown taping in 2003.

I haven't been to a live match since some ROH tapings in Baltimore in maybe 2011ish. But I'm old so I can say I've seen a lot of the old greats live. Dusty, Flair, Hogan, Race, any legend from the 80s WWF and NWA. I went to a decent amount of WCW and WWF shows in the mid and late 90s, so I've also seen guys like the NWO, Misterio, Austin, Bret, Taker, Michaels, etc. For the weirdest, most notable: I actually attended Bruno's final match.

To make it even more similar to Chipotle and TKO-WWE the Chipotle CEO was on a show last week stating that they know most of their loyal customers are folks that make over 100k a year and think it's a treat so they're going to raise prices to make it seem more luxury. Which seems like an insane stance to take when there's tons of examples of everything getting worse with your product but like Technico Support said, that guy will be gone at some point with a nice severance package so it'll be someone else's mess to clean up.
It's funny because I'm in his target income bracket and I'm definitely not buying that trash. I think, regardless of income, that it's more about whether you've made a habit of going there. If a weekly burrito at Chipotle is part of your life, you're just less apt to stop going until prices are just unbearably high or quality is terrible. If you only go once every few months, a bad meal or two is enough to say "hey, this sucks now. Fuck it." The regulars are going to be the last to go.

i remember that post. i agreed then and still today obviously. didn't make the connection that it was you i was replying to. i hate the term "late stage capitalism", but here we are....
Chipotle is a recent example I've experienced. We used to enjoy their food but fairly recently, their quality has dropped and their portions have diminished. Chipotle is making no new customers, so they find new ways to make more profits. They can't cut their product line because everything is made with the same ingredients, so they instead go cheaper on their supplies, give you less, and raise prices. Customer opinion, and customers leaving, used to mean everything. Now the loss of a few customers is nothing compared to increased profits from enshittifying their products for the people who still buy their stuff. Losing say 10% of your customers is outweighed by overcharging and under delivering the 90% who remain.
And it's like this everywhere. It's unsustainable in the long run, but that's a problem for another CEO several quarters from now.

first and foremost, let me point out that Vince is a horrible person, and the recent accusations against him are indicative of a lifetime of bad shit he's done.
that being said, Vince cared about WWE. He cared about succeeding. When he was at his best, he was longterm planning, and making sure his company would be around for a long time. That sometimes meant marketing to kids. That sometimes meant leaning into the "indy darling" vibes. That sometimes meant gigantic tentpole shows. That sometimes meant that he promoted "the brand" over "the superstars". That sometimes meant aligning with the Saudis. Hell, sometimes he even cared about the fans. But he always cared about WWE.
TKO cares about money. they are the same as any other investment firm, in that they will wring every dime out of every possible thing they can. they don't care about WWE. or UFC for that matter.
I said the same in another thread maybe last week. McMahon was a wrestling promoter who ran it like a small business, even after going public. He understood every business had ups and downs, and that you have to sometimes accept a down quarter, hell, maybe a down year, and plan for the future as well. TKO runs WWE like every other corporation in America now: line must go up. Every quarter must be more profitable than the last. Not just doing okay. Exponential profit every quarter. If you can't create new customers, then you have to charge existing customers more, figure out new ways to make money off them, and also cut corners and enshittify your product to get profits up. CEOs don't care about next year because they won't be with their company next year.

I'd already been watching it, but @Curt McGirt also recommended Task on HBO. It's a really great show and it's made by the same guy who made Mare of Easttown (based in the same universe, as well). The show description makes it sound like some sort of action-packed thriller ("An FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) heads a task force to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unassuming family man (Tom Pelphrey.") Really, it's more of a slow burn character study of damaged people with lots of problems, and the "violent home invasion crew" is finished doing robberies by the end of episode 1, while the rest of the show deals with the fallout from that final robbery, how we got there, and Ruffalo's character's own past and family problems. Ruffalo is so good at playing down on his luck schlubs, and Pelphrey (awesome in Banshee, Ozark, and that show about the transdimensional hole in the ground)...that dude could read a phone book with relatability and gravitas. I really enjoyed it. Check it out if feel bad shows that eventually might feel good are your thing.
