Super Ape

That was one fucking good rasslin' match. We're out here putting headlocks and wristlocks over for 35 minutes. I had my doubts about wrestling being for me anymore in 2026, but that match gave me lots of hope. Might be time to finally get a World sub once my finances are in order.

Babyface DiBiase once got a pin on Harley Race in St. Louis when Race was world champion. The crowd was pretty unglued. https://x.com/_clipperdave_/status/2070868411022749778?s=20

If we ever get another pet, I'm going to make sure we get the nearby non-profit vet's services. They handled the cremation of both our little guys, and they're active in greyhound rescue and rehoming (from the racetracks), so they do a lot of good in the area.

We lost both of ours less than six months apart, and the last one was on some kidney fuckery that we're still paying for. I want to shake down that vet for every last dime, the fuck.

Clive Davis' impact on contemporary music is immeasurable. So many great artists came into prominence through him. RIP.

Good cat.

I haven't kept up, but I think it was kind of a slow turn that started with Kaiser cutting promos in Spanish and singing "Cielito Lindo" on the way to the ring. He also shook hands with Rey after a tag match they were on opposie sides of at Guerra de Titanes, which kind of locked that in.

It's the best Taker/Shawn match, Taker's best match, and if it's not Michaels' best match, it's definitely in the top 10 if not 5. I'm glad more people are singing the praises of the Diesel match. It was the peak of the whole "Memphis with a bigger budget" vibe New Gen WWF had, though the Mankind match was also very good (also biased because I saw it live and watching HBK do a Dragon Kick on Foley has lived in my head rent-free for almost 30 years).

It's June, which means it's almost time for the Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta. To those unfamiliar, it involves playing FFV, but you are limited to the four jobs you are randomly assigned as you progress through the game. There are various restrictions and job sets you can select from, but a normal run involves mixing and matching abilities you acquire from those jobs and aiming for some kind of synergy (i.e. Red Mage's Doublecast on a Summoner, Samurai's Equip Katanas on a physical attacker [or, let's be real, Zeninage go brrrrr], Chemist on just about anything, etc.) I think this is gonna be the year I finally pull it off. I got the PR collection for my Switch, so I can play it on and off as needed.

#97, Mr. Woofles, two minutes for relieving himself in the net.

Frye was the one who posed with guns. And personally I wouldn't want to offend the world's scariest-looking Tom Selleck cosplayer and the guy who beat Takayama like he stole something, whether he's packing or not.

You know how much I hate to hand it to WWE, but I watched that match and... ...they really turned lead into gold, didn't they? They took some half-baked "ha ha ha Murrica" shtick and accidentally walked backwards into the best story WWE or anybody connected to them has put out in years. The mind reels.

She’s one of the last Rossy loyalists from Stardom left. Maybe she’s going back to help bail Marigold out?

I’m usually skeptical about WWE cuts and where they fit in elsewhere, but I do hope MCMG gets the Lifetime Achievement run in AEW (tag titles optional) and gets some matches with FTR/Death Riders/The Bucks before Alex Shelley goes to school for his DPT and becomes the next Crowbar. I don’t see where the Sicks go aside from maybe Gacy. Rowan and Lumis are on the wrong side of 40 and probably don’t want to test the indie scene. Bo was already nine toes out the door on the business before Bray came back and unfortunately passed away. Nikki Cross collected WWE mailbox money while in grad school and would probably be content in a library. Unfortunately the business is a lot less friendly to WWE cuts than it was even five years ago, never mind 10 or 20. There are much fewer places to go that would be worth the work.

I no longer miss the lockout. Sure, we'll probably get dog-walked by the fucking Penguins, but I'm going to embrace the Flyers doing playoff hockey like a drowning man gasping for air.
