The new Southwest commercial is kind of funny in that they spend the whole time telling us that they have ASSIGNED SEATING now and everyone is acting crazy and then two guys in a bar are kind of acting like "yeah I know everyone else has already done it before"

I thought that Rizzo could bullshit his way out of a couple more seasons and just give the managers all the blame. A good GM and manager can't solve the perception of the Nationals being just a cheap organization

Isnt that the current NXT locker room I think the best description I heard about Janela is that he may be the Pete Davidson of wrestling. I mean if we showed you the list of women that he has dated, I am not sure we would have thought Pete Davidson would be the guy

So apparently there will be a UFC event or series of fights at the White House.

the segment added today I think of Bam Bam Bigelow throwing a fireball right in the face of Bret Hart was kind of shocking because I have never heard of it before much less seen it. Hell I am willing to bet that you could count on one hand the number of fireball thrown in WWF/WWE history.

Also funny how the announcer for Bash 85 was messing up a bunch of names. Calling Arn Anderson Gene Anderson. Calling Crusher Nikkita Koloff before realizing that didn't make sense. I feel like he confused Buzz Tyler and Sawyer a couple times Liked how some wrestlers were so casual in leaving the ring after a match that it kind of looked bad. Like Ron Bass (a babyface at the time) exiting the thing right next to the Andersons as they were entering it like it was no big deal. i assume this was a Network edit but I want to believe that the NWA hired a high school band in the Charlotte area to play that music Nikita Koloff came to the ring with. We also should be lucky that Flair or someone told him of the huge roll up of carpet that was near the entrance or we would have had a Shockmaster thing

Last night's 30 for 30 was Empire Skate which talked about the rise of New York City skating scene from the 90's and the things that grew from it like Supreme store. Very gritty/grimy story (definitely not your Tony Hawk on the other side) and in some cases sad story as some of the originals died and even the store that risen from it became different and not what people envisioned. If you are into the culture or even the culture of New York City around that time it is pretty cool to watch

Match a couple years in the making . Yes GCW is still doing the Backyard Wrestling show gimmick.

Damn the Steelers got fucked in that deal. if we got Ramsey about 3 years ago I get it but not the 2025 version

I mean nothing is worse than mid 2018 to 2019 stuff for me so we aren't there yet. And frankly it doesn't how shitty the shows because they are swimming in cash now. I expect Summerslam to be really good even with the possibility of bad finishes

So unless Punk is just completely out of the picture which is extremely unlikely, the scenario has to be: Goldberg beats Gunther Rollins cashes in on Goldberg Rollins vs Punk at Summerslam as Punk gets his second Night 1 main event match By the way, is there another that loves them a transitional champion more than Triple H? I figured Zelina Vega would be one but Jacob Fatu?

Rest in Peace Dave Parker from the Pittsburgh Pirates and a ton of other teams. A great hitter in the late 70's and without a doubt had one of the greatest fielding displays in All Star game history in 1978 I think Damn he was supposed to go into the Hall of Fame this year. Thought he was already in

So Punk didn't hit just eat a shit sandwich this week, he took a trip to an all you can eat buffet shit sandwich. Hope it was worth it

So an argument could be made that Punk doing Word Life Cena was a much much bigger "eating a shit sandwich" then the apology. The material he was handed was just weak. This only makes sense if there is a double turn and Punk really double down on the "here to make money not friends" line. While Guilia is probably going to be a better champion, Zelina Vega wasn't given much of a chance to see how good she could be.

Last night MJF returned to MLW attacking Mistico. I think this is the first in ages that AEW opened the MLW door

The Big question for me is did Punk plan to apologize to the Saudi people all along or did he only do it because of the crowd reaction to him. I get it from a short term point of view although it is cheap but unless he is turning heel then those US crowds are going to rough for him

It also didn't help that we have "Kid-Gate" meaning did he or did he not gently push a kid away when him and Randy Orton were walking I guess out of the airport So was Corey Graves right all along

According to Awful Announcing and the Daily Faceoff(?), there are plans for the NHL to expand to a 84 game season starting in two years. Yeah that seems pretty stupid . Not really working out great for the NBA

Unfortunately the number of people in media that would either defend OJ domestic violence issue or play the "blaming the victim" card is probably more than in the past. I mean what is worse having a Stephen A Smith and the Outkick gang explain why Nicole Brown probably deserved it in some way or what happened then which was act like it never happened or is a "private matter"? But yes the social media outrage would be intense to the point that NBC and ABC wouldn't use them anymore.

So the plane touched down and the WWE is there. And CM Punk is there. So we are definitely getting a match.

The problem with the latest story about probable "collusion" involving a ton of players mostly quarterbacks isn't that it is probably a huge deal even if it didn't end up happening, it is having to hear Pablo Torre take so many victory laps that he passes out on the track.

The good (or bad depending on how it is presented) of El Grande Americano is that you can do a bunch of stuff to keep the gimmick fresh without actually wrestling Hell can probably still do run-ins in a limited way. Now if he is out for 6 months as I thought I heard that is going to be very difficult

I don't know how good Ace Bailey is really to be a top 5 pick or so but I can't trust any player who says they are good to be drafted by the Wizards

Not sure if this goes in the Podcast stuff but the latest version of Cody Rhodes "What do you want to talk about" Youtube show features Kevin Owens and it is very good and at least from first half isn't very WWE centric talking about their indie stuff

Based on the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, the downfall of OJ shouldn't have been too surprising as there were a ton of really bad clues. I guess it was surprising because only those who knew saw those clues and even they shut their mouth on it. So I guess Antonio Brown is the next installment of people who got on the MAGA grift thinking that it would help them out of his problems and ultimately find out that it wasn't going to work out for them to help them
