I'll edit more comments in later, but this ear stuff in Mox-Sammy is just sick and gross in many ways! Points for trying to be different! Hell of a match. Is the "not cleared" stuff with Hangman just a way to not sign the rematch between the two yet? I don't think he should be doing these things if he's not cleared. Who is Saraya going to pick as a partner? Plenty of choices, but watch her pick Madison Rayne. Good FTR promo. Gunns gets theirs this Wednesday! Skye Blue with a good effort. Britt with an ingenious and organic counter to the Code Blue, making Skye slip off due to Britt's strategic lack of glutes. Rebel justifying her existence by unsuccessfully charging at Shida was gold, once more. She's not scared, I'll give her that! Always first to attack...well, trying to, anyway. Wardlow with squash. Quite the name on his opponent. How the hell are they going to proceed with the Samoa Joe feud, unless Wardlow regains the title? Main event starting with Trent? vs Trent7 was a nice touch. Very entertaining match, overall. Holy jesus that sell of the bulldog on Trent7! Straight as an arrow on the top of his head! Insane! Wow!

As Double B.M.T? Damn, I could go for a couple of those right now!

Damn, Log, you should change your name to "just mean"! Let's not say stuff we can't take back! You never know with TK, sometimes he gives you the weirdest wishes.

Yeah, it was an armbar. Just kidding.

Soon enough, neither will anyone else, so you'll be all good in due time!

Cane looking quite slim there, but it may be due to wearing black.

You know yourself and are at least strong enough to admit how things are. Being willing to tell it to a community makes you even stronger, or more courageous than most. I totally hear what you are saying, but I'd still strongly advice you not to say fuck sobriety, as tempting as may be.

Glad I got to see season 1.

MC Hammer to Hammer energy, with most likely similar results in popularity.

This is one of the matches that makes me reconsider getting the WWE Network again, but as I said, not until I'm sure that the main POS never comes back. And there's really only one way to be absolutely sure...so I'll wait.

I have been working for the same company full time since I was 30, and part-time since I was 27. This year I was serendipitously told to apply for another company which was also recruiting. So I did, because, you just can't not take opportunities if they are handed to you. Once they contacted me, I was quickly offered a position, with pay close to what I was making at the moment. I had informed my employer that I will seek this other opportunity and if something comes of it, I'll let them know. Much to their credit, they quickly came up with a nice counter offer and after deliberating over the weekend, I decided to stay put. As soon as I was put in a position to choose between two companies and two deals, I immediately thought of Bret Hart in 1997. We know how that turned out, but would it have been any better if he did end up staying? I feel like I made the right choice, as I wasn't looking to leave if the opportunity didn't land on my lap like that. But at least now I know, I do actually have and can have opportunities elsewhere, as well.

And Kiebler was ridiculously under-promoted on that one. The fact that they gave way more promotion to that EGG from Red Notice tells you that they COULD promote stuff if they choose to, but in those cases at least, they made the conscious decision NOT to do so.

Ok, so I came down with a flu, that so far hasn't turned out to be covid. So obviously, no workouts for now. Fever only lasted for an evening, but the sore throat is F'n killing me for the third day now. I obviously have been pushing myself way too hard for too long, as I have been sick twice now inside a month, I guess? Well, now I won't be back to work until January 2nd so I have ample time to recover, but this sort of ends the otherwise pretty badass workout year on a sour note. I will try to get some home workouts in, once I feel normal again, but unless I do some ridiculous amount of push-ups, or something, it will hardly be anything worthwhile to post here. Ok, so how did the year go, overall? The trapbar stuff went well. That one time I got 601 off the platforms, may go down as my heaviest lift ever. I'm also glad I was able do 568 off the floor which was a record, but I doubt I'll be doing 3x550 again, like I did back in 2018. Getting finally past 200kg (all the way up to 3x460) without the aid of Versa Grips was also a milestone. Bench hasn't progressed in anything worthwhile, but it hasn't really gone down either, so I guess that's good. I did some nice stuff on the squat machine a few times, with free squats, I don't know where I stand at the moment. Against all odds, I think the summer diet went off about as perfectly as I could have hoped. But it certainly took a toll on me. The odds of being able to repeat that performance in the upcoming years are not great, but anything close to it would still be awesome. On the plus side, I have never looked as lean as I do now, this close to the end of the year. That's not completely positive thing, but it does mean that I can eat pretty much everything in sight for the rest of the year. Also, overall, it is completely possible that I have consumed less alcohol this year than I have in any of the previous 25, at least. The last 3 years have been heading into that direction. And still, there was enough that the whole year did just suck. Hey, I refuse to limit the amount, but I'm certainly willing to seriously restrict the times, which therefore seriously lowers the overall consumption, which is obviously only positive.

Finally (heh) was able to watch the whole show! Wheeler and Garcia got really intense at the end there! Tag Title match was pure insanity and Gunns pick the bones, although FTR are no longer the ROH tag champs. Joe vs Juice was good, both tag matches nice, women's title was good but not exactly what I was thinking. But they got some time. Main event was good too, the finish was quite surprising, but we must remember that Jericho has PTSD from The Swing!

Can we be certain it wasn't, though?

Do they trust his/her/their judgment on the issue? Up until now they were like Mills Lane "I'll allow it!" Must have been gutwrenching to make the call! "NO, this is obviously too much, I couldn't possibly watch this another second!" Quite the responsibility bestowed upon one person!

Re: Mandy released! Poor woman. Feel so bad for her for losing her job like that. It feels like I should do something to help. Was there some kind of website, or did I understand correctly? Maybe subscribing to that would help her out during this difficult time. Just so I could say I did something.

If that happens, if EWR taught ME anything, then all of Vince's illegitimate children start popping up, marrying the wrestlers and the wrestlers then get creative control and refuse to lose from that point forward.

Just to be sure, I won't be returning to WWE Network subscription next year. Just in case the dipshit does come back.

@NikoBaltimore I haven't come across that game before, but anything that gets people moving and training in any way, can't be all bad! Thanks for sharing!

Yes.

Yeah, that and all the Jeff Hardy stuff probably taught them a thing or two. I can't say that I'm shocked that this happened, but it's good if he was willing to go to rehab. We've had cases where people rather get released than go to rehab.

Monday I was very beat and headed home straight after work. I also assumed people had already started packing up the gym. Today I actually went to see if that was the case and since everything was still in place, I decided to get the bench workout in. Warming up with 5x132, 3x220, 3x242, 2x264, 1x275, then 6 "sets" with 286, which meant 1 good rep and 2-3 sad partials on 3 sets, one set with almost two decent reps and one partial and two sets of basically trash nevermind the number. Then 3 not good reps with 275, 2 good and 2 bad reps with 264, an ugly 7 with 242 (5 more like) and the same with 220, then 25x132. Between reps there were lat pull downs in many different angles, shrugs, lateral raises to the side and some light curls. It was snowing so I didn't do anything involving legs and that was good, since the roads were a mess heading home. Also some real snow plowing waiting for me there, not the leasurely practice I had on Sunday. I hope the roads are cleared by tomorrow morning. Can't promise any more workouts, bur if I do get the chance, I'll try to get the trapbar in one more time before the two week Holiday break.

I don't really envy Seven's chances against a single Trent, let alone seven of them!

Trent? TRENT! Trent Fucking Seven?!?! That was cool and did not even cross my mind! I started watching, but fell asleep during the opener and woke up in the middle of the main event and fell back asleep before it ended. So yeah, haven't gotten around to Zero Hour, let alone Final Battle.
