Do I have to re-hash my beef with Tony Khan holding important ROH matches on fucking Dynamite? The ROH Women's World TV Title re-unification match? On AEW TV? It's like we've learned nothing.

For those unaware, the BDK from left: Sara Del Rey, Tim Donst, Claudio Castagnoli, Ares, Tursas, Pinkie Sanchez (as Carpenter Ant), Daizee Haze. Lince Dorado was later added as an eighth.
This was a fabulous era of CHIKARA, and is well worth your time to check out.

Um… @chrismueller.bsky.social…that’s a Sauron rubber duck. I don’t know how to feel about this. What does the rest of the Shire Squad say?

It's easy to come up with dream matches.
But to have a wrestler where you can imagine in any scenario, that takes something special.

Amazing video, all spot on.
But this absolutely reminded me that I 100% would have put the ROH TV Title on Shane Taylor when he faced Joe in '23.
Because just over two months later, he just flat vacated the thing.
It wouldn't have hurt Joe, it would have MADE Shane Taylor, and they just...didn't.

If the entire world is going to be Twilight Zone or Black Mirror episodes, then I want less robots, AI horror, and tech dystopia, and FAR more unrepentant Nazis getting ironic and devastating punishments leaving them useless, incapacitated, or in an institution for the rest of their lives.

Just booked my hotel for #ROHFinalBattle three weeks from tomorrow. Waiting to hear back on my media application, but I don't anticipate any issue.
This usually doesn't get any response, but I'll try it again anyway.
Who am I seeing in Columbus at GalaxyCon for ROH's biggest show of the year? 🤼

What's this that @ianriccaboni.com is mentioning about the @ringofhonor.bsky.social Stats & Information Department?

Kyle O'Reilly never got that top run in Ring of Honor. They waited too long to finally put the belt on him at Final Battle 2016, with his contract expiring literally four weeks later. So they had him drop it back to Cole at Wrestle Kingdom in Japan in his first defense, not even at an ROH show.
Kyle O'Reilly is at the top of the company at last, showing his pure badass side throughout the bloodiest match type #AEW has and the following promo.
Tell me this man isn't something special, I dares ya!

Honestly, challenging Jarrett for the all-time "get that bag" award. I don't really care to see him wrestle anymore, but I have to respect the commitment to the bit.
Jericho getting in on the anti-AEW grift is foul.

On the season, GB is now 28th in average depth of target on 1st and 2nd down.
Last year they were 10th.

A reporter from The Hill is stating that Mace is NOT removing her name. I guess we'll see, because with this passel of grifters and fools, you shouldn't believe anything until it happens.
Nancy Mace is expected to pull her support for the petition to release the Epstein Files, the day before Adelita Grijalva is sworn in.

So I see NJPW with multiple winner take all matches for Wrestle Kingdom. The World and the Global Titles. The IWGP and the Strong Women's Title. Could we actually be seeing them condensing the belts a bit?
The New Japan Strong titles should just be folded into their IWGP brethren at this point.

I will believe it when I actually see him nailed to the wall over something. Until then, I'm just going to assume that he's somehow going to wriggle out of this again. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting my popcorn ready to watch the show unfold.

Got another “you’re old” reminder this week when my daughter made varsity cheer (as a freshman! Proud dad!), and I asked if varsity jackets were still a thing. She looked completely puzzled, and said, “Yeah, nobody wears those.”
And then I shriveled up and died and turned to dust, RIP me.

CHIKARA required three wins in a row before petitioning for a title shot. If you lost along the way, you went back to zero. It was a good system.
The absolute brain worm takes because I want people to win matches before getting title shots is mind boggling.
Why have titles if "winning and losing doesn't matter?"
People who claim that in any wrestling company are using a crutch for laziness, apathy and tropes

Packers: "Challenge accepted."
The Bears had 5 drops Sunday
That’s tied for the most by any team in a game this season (Jags, ofc)

LaFleur chooses to punt instead of a 57 yard field goal. Then sends his injured kicker out to try from 64 at the end. Make it make ANY fucking sense.

Honestly just forfeit the rest of the season. This is just comical ineptitude. This team is useless, LaFleur’s brain is broken, and he’s dragging down Love with him.

Three fucking losses where you gave up less than 17 points.
Your dipshit HC who’s supposed to be an offensive wunderkind is not pulling his fucking weight.
Ed Policy’s choice at the end of this season is easy as can be.

Explain to me like I’m five why LaFleur deserves to keep his job. This shit is systemic at this point.

Also worth pointing out LaFleur punted instead of trying a ~57 yard field goal. If you don’t think McManus can make it, WHY ISN’T HAVRISIK ACTIVE?!
