Gave up expecting famous people political views, or even people I know, to align with my own a long time ago.

It would. Could headline the Dome in January with that match. Not sure NJPW will do that though, unless Okada will put him over. I’d like to see them get a younger guy built up and have them made by beating Takeshita, but not until middle of next year. I think Takeshita gets a long run.

On a tag team match kick today. Midnight Express v Fantastics on now. Holy shit those southern style tag matches are so great and their spirit is really kept alive in AEW these days. Also, the crowd heat is so crazy. There’s a sunset flip spot that gets a bigger pop than most finishes today! 🤼

Everyone in AEW respects you so much.
Thank you, God bless you, Mr. Kota Ibushi!

Takeshita with the huge win for the IWGP Title. I’ve never seen that man have a bad match, or even an average match. The kind of talent that NJPW should absolutely build around as they try to regroup and get interest in their product back. Plus this can affect AEW/Okada too. Great move all round. 🤼

I don’t watch current WWE. Haven’t for years. But can’t deny how good the WWE Vault on You Tube is. Example A from today. It opens with Rockers v Orient Express - a 1990 tag match that wouldn’t look out of place in 2025. Love me some good tag team wrestling. 🤼

With the games at Wembley and Tottenham Stadium in recent years it’s getting much more popular. On TV every week on Sky, we get red zone too. BBC have live coverage too some weeks. The NFL really pushing to expand into UK and Europe for sure. I’d expect a London based team in future.

“David Crockett, let me ask you a question, is that your head or did your neck throw up? You look terrible today.” Jim Cornette to David Crockett on WCW TV, 1986. He might be a dickhead, but damn he was a great promo back in the day. 🤼

Some day people will realise that ignoring, blocking and quickly moving on with your life far outweighs any “one up” you can get on someone in an online spat. Starving the attention seekers, grifters and people who trade and earn from negativity is the only way we heal as a society.

I don’t think it’s good that we have an entire class of media elites who believe that people getting mad at them means they’re doing a good job, but identifying that makes me wonder if it’s actually better to not get mad at them and deprive them of what they want.

The amount of pain and anguish I see on a Sunday when NFL is on is amazing. Feels like I only follow people whose teams lose! Don’t worry, I’m a Glasgow Rangers fan, so I know exactly how it feels!

Watching a Bas Rutten v Minoru Suzuki fight from Pancrase back in 93. With Bas doing commentary on it. It absolutely rules. This is from the era where Suzuki looked like a 1950s movie idol. Both guys are absolute killers. Really interesting to see how each guy fought in two different styles. So cool

There are a lot of things I don’t understand about this world. But top of the list has to be drinking a beer out of a sweaty shoe. The “eating tide pods” of sports celebrations.

The wait for your lasagne to cool down enough so you can eat it without burning the shit out of your mouth is such a test of will power. One I sadly failed. 😩

You only need to read his list of wrestler names to know Chuck is a wrestling genius. Glad to see him get this kind of coverage. Funny and creative dude. Plus his commentary in PWG back in the day was some of my favourite stuff. AEW are lucky to have him. 🤼

You hate to see people lose their jobs. But man, there is a little bit of smarky satisfaction is knowing you were right about that WWE ID bullshit from the start. A sad, failed attempt to harm AEW hiring, while also stifling the indie scene. WWE management is just such a shitty shit show of shit 🤼

I haven’t watched this Traitors show. But it’s just a real life version of the old forum game Mafia, right?
