Was Snake Eyes just a highly promoted house show, or is it/will it be available to watch somewhere?

Hell, it could Josh Barnett before his Bloodsports endeavour, trying to get his feet wet in the business in his early tweens, then going to MMA when it didn't pan out...yet.

Can we be sure it's actually the same hat, or if they are all just fucking with him now that they know that he's not really over the hat yet, or really ever? They found an obvious weak spot and are cruelly and efficiently exploiting it?

Ok, Vince is basically gone, they have a brand new producer and if Pete Dunne is becoming himself again, then all the things that made me quit the WWE Network are now being remedied. I may have to reconsider picking it back up sometime this year, maybe.

That was the joke, yes.

Ok, maybe they have just replaced it with something shitty on Triller due to copyright reasons, idk?

Damn you, Action Bronson! Damn you to hell, so you can learn write better themes. And Baltimora wrote his only hit well in advance for Jungle Boy and not only did they get rid of the theme, they got rid of the Jungle Boy!

I think it was around 22e on Triller over here (and 30 something on TNA+), but if the delay is only 30 days, I may be tempted to wait it out. There's just so many PPV's I haven't seen yet in the meantime. Started with Multiverse United 2 after this week's Impact.

Speaking of HOOK's lame theme, I think something in vein of MOOSE's Impact/TNA theme would give the needed "Oh, shit..." effect when he decides to assert himself to a situation. It could also have the similar beat for the crowd to chant "HOOK" to.

I'd target THAT Nathan Jones who had that strangely good match with Scott Steiner on that WWA PPV, as well as trying to pinpoint the healthiest and buffest Big Poppa Pump and snatch him while I'm at it and have those two terrorize Hogan as a tandem for a half a year.

Here's the dilemma guys: The PPV's show up on TNA+ after, what 90 days after they originally air? At least the 2023 stuff is already all there, I think? Buying the PPV is cheaper on Triller TV than it is on TNA+ if I decide to watch it now, so that would be where I get it from. So: Do I pony up the cash now, or wait until spring to watch it free? Suggestions?

If the Bucks are willing to try it, I'm sure Darby can be talked into taking it.

Wait, is that one of those fake Stings?

Heel Hardys and Jeff can finally get his win back from that one PPV main event on TNA!

Funny you should say that @Coletti, as I also fell asleep on the couch this morning and therefore missed most of the main event, except for the Bucks coming out. Hangman vs Claudio ruled, obviously. Surprisingly strong victory by Page, not that I'm about to complain about Page going over too strong, unless he's in the ring with PAC or Buddy Matthews. Both 8-person matches were alright, with the biggest thing coming out of those being Anna vs Julia and Cage& Gates of Agony vs Archer & The Righteous on Saturday. Roddy wins over Bounty Hunter. Undisputed Kingdom will be facing The Scissor Club soon enough, you can see Austin Gunn being the voice of reason between those teams. Wait, what? Sammy with another win over Starks. I hope this doesn't mean there will be a title switch on Saturday. Who am I kidding, it's a Battle of the Belts, of course there isn't! Joe with a strong promo, good for Swerve and Hangman to come and do exactly what Joe said was not gonna fly anymore. Well, at least HOOK has the win-loss record for a title shot! I like HOOK. A lot, actually but the fact that he has the absolute shit-worst, negatively inspiring theme music of the entire roster, does not do him any favors, with me, anyway. Some people must like it, he wouldn't use it otherwise, right? Either way, this is a good way to use him, and the fact that he has won almost all of his matches. He actually deserves a shot at something! Didn't see enough of the main event to comment, except for the Bucks. Yeah, no. This is not the time. Because who ever it was going to be, they had better be going over Sting there. Well, Matt Jackson pinning Sting to retire him would be quality trolling, I must admit, but still!

Checked the measurements of non-pumped arms and as I suspected, around 42cm each. So, Trapbar. My new found gut was getting in way of deficit lifts, so I opted out relatively quickly on those. Just the light warm up. Got 453,5 off the floor level without gloves. Then with gloves and Versas 548,5 off the half blocks and 643 off the 3/4 blocks. Needed to go to full blocks for 738 and then 2x749. Had to jump straight to 843,5 at this point so the shoes came off, too. I did 3 singles, all with proper lock out this time. Tried one with the shoes on, but failed that one. On the way back down, I did another 2x749 then 3x698, 4x654 and 7x559,5 off the 4/5 blocks with shoes on. Two sets of shrugs with 359 and 249. This went better than I figured it would. So yes, good week. No work tomorrow, so that was it for me.

That may be the case, but shouldn't there be "we are sorry/we fucked up" dueling chants now that the fans were completely in the wrong during that fiasco? It should work both ways, goddammit. Hey, Jericho has done a lot of shit, just not that particular shit, so people should own up. To their credit, Dailys Place crowd seemed to be cheering for him, so good on them. Also, it could have been a reference to the previous arena brawls during which music was played, sort of promoting the upcoming street fight?

Neither here nor there, but I think there was some light touching between the two during Blood and Guts last year! But this is pretty much one of the top opponents for Hangman! Also, soon, Samoa Joe!

Thanks, @StretchMediatedHypertrophy , I'm trying! I usually measure my arms not pumped, but always flexed. I would imagine they have to be close to 42cm now, if those were the pumped measurements. But you can rest assured I'm not walking around with 45cm arms on the regular, that's for sure. Today was basically just seal row. Did 10 reps with 176 and 242, then 10 "reps" with 264. 286 for 2 sets of more than 5 "reps", maybe 2 of which were close to OK. Unlike normally, I put the Versas on when going back down. I wanted to see how that changes things, although it's usually not the grip that taps out first on this move. Well, I did get more partials out of each set, but no change in the number of good reps. Sets downwards were 275, 264, 242, 176 and 154. Reps, no idea, but continued until I was barely getting the weight off the ground. Good week so far, but the thought of a leg day or Trapbar is not appealing to me at the moment!

And a very fitting one at that!

Heavier dumbell curls, behind the neck two hand, single dumbell presses, and chest flies with resistance bands was on the agenda today. Last time, I had trouble supinating my wrists with the heavier weights, so I tried a reverse pyramid, to see if I could do it better with a short warm-up and then straight to the heavy shit? Yes and no. The warm-up was 5 with 39,5's, 3 with 48,5's and one with 53's. Then a set of 10 with 61,5's. Maybe 3 reps were actual curls, with some Body English thrown in, rest were pretty much very high hammer curls, like last time. But the weights were bigger, too! Following a similar strategy, I did as many good reps as possible, then rest as hammer curls until I got to 10 with 57's, 53's, 48,5's. Got 12 with 44's and stopped there. After each curl set, I did a set of behind the neck presses with 66 to 88lbs. 25 reps from 66 to 75, 22 with 79, 15 with 83,5 and 12 with 88. After one set of these, I did a set of chest flies before going back to the curls. After the workout was done, it felt like I had a decent pump going, so I measured my biceps. The left one was 45,2 cm (fully flexed) for the first time that I can recall. The right one was 44,5 cm, which is funny since my right arm is the dominant one, but hey I'll take it! I guess that would be around 18 inches, then?

@Curt McGirt Drink plenty of water, tap or bottled but not carbonated. I would strongly recommend some resistance training to go along with the cardio. Even a slight increase in muscle mass will help you burn more calories during the day. Black coffee in the morning, green tea through out the rest of the day. No sugar. These are just tips. Whatever you decide to do, the changes should be such that they don't feel unsustainable. It should be a gradual process. Good luck with project, hopefully it will be successful and long lasting.

Workhorsemen had a good showing. It will be interesting to see if Sting and Darby can actually beat Takeshita & Hobbs? I wonder if Copen Challenge will be a thing from now on? Kiera Hogan and Skye Blue got quite a bit of time in a "let's see if we can get THIS trending on social media?"-match. I'm shocked if it didn't. Claudio gets a showcase here and also Hangman on Dynamite! Oh holy shit, yes! The main event took quite a while to get really going but by the ending stretch it was awesome! Oh yes, a trios match next! Don't mind if I do! Oh yeah, and Eddie vs Trent Barretta was aces! Trent's biggest wins always seem to be the contenders' matches to get the title matches that he loses! Great effort, though! HOOK going after Samoa Joe? OK, this is the first time it feels like he maybe bit off more than he can chew. Let's see how that goes for him? Rampage thoughts: Hardy heel turn in the works? OK, I'm listening. That had to be the closest Anna Jay has come to beating Shida! I thought the sunset flip got three! So Saraya makes Cameron flirt with both Angelo and Ruby. Bold strategy, Cotton!

I use Sports Life Whey 80 or Whey 100 Chocolate + Stevia, mixed Sports Life Recovery Chocolate. It is inoffensive at the very least. Best value for money I have found so far. It used to be way cheaper 3 years ago, though! First workout of the week with dumbell incline bench. 6 sets, first and last with 83,5's and rest with 88's. Did my first set of 10 with 88's with the seat straight up. That fucked up the other sets, though. Getting around 7 reps with others. 3 sets were with the seat straight up, 3 with one notch down. 6 sets of hammer curls with the same weights. Also did lat pull-downs with resistance bands and some lighter curls. An OK start for the week.

For just a little bit around the same time when Paul was there. Nothing significant came of it. She was on one of the Mae Young Classics.
