/ / Don't ever be afraid to try.
Just try. Try and see what happens. Give yourself a chance even if no one else will.
Give yourself a chance and hopefully someone will respond in kind.
/ / That moonwalk was smooth as fuck, too. Fair play to him.
Jokes aside, someone has to pick this dude up for a few weeks because this gimmick pops me and I want to see this stupid gimmick on television somewhere.
This is the dumb that wrestling was founded on.
/ / Strip him of the championship, don't do any of that interim champion garbage.
Do a tournament if they want but Punk has to be done as their main champion.
/ / The fact that this gimmick accidentally turned into a modern version of Chyna and Eddie's chemistry and they both played those roles absolutely perfectly is absolutely wild to me.
It took a little while for Dom to get going and I wonder what he'll do post Judgement Day but+
/ / It's been that way before the scrum. Jon Moxley has been, quite literally, the only wrestler in that entire roster who made the title mean anything; every one else kind of made it feel like.... Another championship for the collection.
The women's main title is the same.
// I mean, it is athletically incredible especially for a mountain of a man like WALTER but also I would be scared shitless if I see this monster try a 619.
// Otis shooting his shot with Mandy and actually sinking a 3 pointer at the buzzer is probably the biggest underdog stories in this era of professional wrestling.

On STAR WARS: Rise of the Resistance at Disney there’s a section where you are taken prisoner
I checked my phone causing a First Order actor to yell “PUT THAT TRANSMITTER AWAY REBEL SCUM!” I said “ok, but Kobe Bryant died” everyone froze and was silent for the rest of the ride
Seeing Kofi destroyed by Brock in the Rumble replay made me sad about it all over again.
But at least it reminded me of this wicked promo Kingston cut some days prior.
#RAW
The Japan version of The Bachelor showed up at DDT once & Maki Itoh took her shot 😭
“I’ve never had a boyfriend my entire life! Teach me the joys of being a woman. Date me!”
/ / We're back to the 80's, early 90's, lads.
Wrestlers pulling heaters, backstage bullshit, fans swarming touring busses of top stars.
Y'all wanted the old era of wrestling back, we got it, baby.
// I love how the entire roster ralles around Beth and basically are going after Randy like “try that on me, you son of a bitch”
That RKO made Randy something malicious again. I love it.
/ / Samantha Irvin becoming the voice of WWE in such a short amount of time is such an awesome thing to see and she's already at the level of Lillian Garcia; absolutely wonderful day to see, honestly.
Definitely deserves her flowers.
/ / This is the coked out 80's vibe wrestling was missing.
Giant men, doing stupid faces to the camera and showing off how massive they are.
This is why I watched wrestling as a kid, this is the good shit.
Jim Ross said: "‘...all you guys do the same f*cking spot, you go to the outside, you cluster up like quail you stand together friend and foe side-by-side so you can catch some leaping idiot going over the top who never wins with this move..."

/ / I think both have incredible talent but, unfortunately however understandably, wrestling is a popularity contest; skill rarely plays a part of it and the real test of what makes a "good" wrestler is who is more profitable.
There's unbelievable wrestlers who don't get much
// What a way to build a babyface.
Pull them from a PPV you spent nine weeks building towards crashing her through a table, getting her a quick win over the person who did it to her then immediately take that momentum and turn it into an angle where’s she’s written off.
Genius.
Greg Abbott tells Dana Bash he didn’t think through the consequences of passing the most draconian anti abortion law in the nation. Yea it’s hard to foresee consequences when you are laser focused on your Christo fascist agenda.
/ / The Cruiserweight division in WCW were just hitting on all cylinders, man.
You had Rey, prime Eddie, Juventud Guerrea, Último Dragon, Jushin Thunder Liger.
The vibes were simply unmatched.
/ / The Bloodline works because Roman is naturally charismatic and it worked because Sami was charismatic.
It doesn't work now because Cody Rhodes is "over" with no explanation other than he used to be in one company and now he's not.
He doesn't need the title because his dad +
/ / Let me tell you with the most utmost sincerity: It has never been a funnier time to be a professional wrestling fan.
The industry has slowly begin tilting off the rails lately and it has been a surreal, hilarious experience.
I love it. It's fantastic.
Well bitch, some of us who actually have a proper set of balls on us prefer to do our shit talking face to face.
In the interim, it’s okay to have a little fun.
/ / Walking along the street and then all of a sudden having a Hasidic Jewish man pop out from the underground and seeing him scurry into the shadows like a fucking Ninja Turtle has to be one of the biggest mindfucks in the world.
// Whoever snatches him up is getting an absolutely golden signing and the potential for in-ring or even backstage work or coaching is unreal.
I'm sure this man knows more about wrestling than we can guess.
/ / Racism, at its core, makes zero psychological or philosophical sense whatsoever yet is so stuck onto so much of the world like hot glue that refuses to separate; it's so . . .
Depressing being so angry at something that people can't control like skin color to kill over.
even the other officers was looking at him in disgust when he walked out. he didn’t have a ounce of empathy he thought he accomplished something ending an innocent lady’s life
/ / These little things showcasing how much of a madman he was and how his ramblings meant nothing and everything is so...
God, this character was something special. He was, is, will always be special.
/ / I get the same interactions sometimes so I hit them up with: " Allright, grab a shovel and ask him yourself, I guess?"
The awkward silence that follows is just
Called the last 2 bills for my mom to explain she is deceased and died with zero assets.
Ambulance: So you are not going to pay?
Repeats she died w 0 assets.
Her (angrily): Well, we are going to send her to collections then.
Me: Ok… but do you think she cares?
Sami Zayn picked a El Generico match to be uploaded on the WWE Vault & talks about being compared to him 😭
“There’s a match featuring a competitor. That I’ve studied extensively in my career. I’ve been honored to be compared to him many times. There are definitely some
/ / People need to understand that The Avengers, for like the better part of 60 years or so, have absolutely sucked and have somehow by the grace of God been willed into not sucking.
Same with the Infinity Gems.
Yes. Gems. Not stones.
/ / I honestly hope they add more of Roberto Gomez Bolaños' characters to modern American media to introduce those characters to Americans; Chespirito was a pioneer of entertainment in Mexico and became a titan of children's entertainment.
Everyone grew up on Chespirito.
What cracks me up about triple A gaming and the need to be diverse in character design - it’s always shallow, appeals to nobody but a quota.
Fortnite on the other fucking hand straight up added a beloved character from a Mexican TV show that aired in the 70s. Fucking based.
/ / It's really cool that wrestling has slowly, slowly gotten better in that regard and we're seeing more wrestlers coming out
Also, really nice of Hunter to ask if they should keep it in or wait.
/ / It still felt like a promo but you could tell AJ was absolutely fucking furious with Jeff and as well he should have, I can't imagine the feeling in the back after that night.
Muscle Man is the best fucking character cause he literally makes the same shitty joke for the whole show while thinking it's the best shit ever and it just gets funnier every time
A bit of wrestling sleight-of-hand: using Seth adjusting his mic as the cue to throw the chair means he already has one hand in good position to block it without looking like he's getting ready for it.
/ / Bret Hart deeply, unashamedly, wholeheartedly and legitimately despising Goldberg on a subatomic level is a textbook definition of "hate".
The man's last breath will probably be " Fuck Bill Goldberg."
Megha Parekh and Tony Khan getting CM Punk to sign those Brawl Out NDAs, non-disparagement and anti-no-show clauses were very important, and a pretty big deal.
At least one step in right direction. They just gotta hope everything goes *smooth* from here on.
/ / Unless you hold degrees and a doctorate on the subject, you are not anyone's psychologist and you shouldn't have to fix things you're not qualified to.
/ / I know it was for the bit but seeing Bianca deadlift Otis then break Bayley's ankles is probably the funniest and most impressive thing I've seen.
Slid Bayley right out of her shoes with that crossover, too.
/ / Wow.
CM Punk came off like an absolute asshole. I'm sorry.
There's no "but the pipe bomb was so cool."
No. He came off like such a dick in this scrum. Fuck. And TK just came off like such a.... Weak-willed fuck..
Punk was just stepping all over him.
TK. The owner of AEW.
// I think people forget that wrestlers used to be other shit before becoming wrestlers.
Like Ford, I think he was a Marine?
So, he would give him an unforgettable ass beating.
We have to stop emboldening "fans."

@MontezFordWWE
The guy was harassing Tez during his match and during the dark match. He was saying wild shit to the point where Tez told him to say it to his face. When the guy takes it the chance he bitches out
/ / Chad Gable needs to go down to NXT for a couple weeks and have a fucking certified classic with Dragunov.
20 minutes of them just absolutely beating the absolute fuck out of each other.
Since its inception, All Elite Wrestling have promised diversity and inclusivity, but when Nyla Rose and Sonny Kiss have been MIA from AEW TV (on top of the Jake Hager situation), those promises ring "empty," as

/ / Gun owner fantasy: Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot.
Gun owner fantasy: man breaks into my home with a loaded weapon. My wife and children are terrified. But then I pull out my gun and blow his head off of his body in front of my scared family
Knife owner fantasy: Stab a huge can of soda
// I love the Hit Row gimmick but I /love/ Legado Del Fantasma's entrance, the reverence that they have for their masks, the jorongo that Santos Escobar wore.
I'm always so proud when Mexican attire is at the forefront in American wrestling.
/ / Characters are always fun when they have a purpose.
That's why I kinda find wrestling boring sometimes because you get the same thing: " I want the belt, I'm gonna fight for the belt" and that's your lot.
When you give a character direction, reason, that's when you can do +
/ / I wonder if people fully understand just how absolutely useless performances like these truly are because I can promise you, I can guarantee you, screaming at random strangers about their food choices is not going to magically heal the world.
It really, honestly means nothin
