Be fucking different. As simple as that. That is what wrestling is missing. I can't tell you how to be different, but I can tell you that being the same as everything else today is slow suicide. Find the fuck you, for the love of God.

Your target audience should be fans that look at WWE/AEW/TNA/etc and say "Fuck you". That should be the energy. Your mission statement should be "We think the scene sucks, it's missing ____, and we're providing it."

Festive decorations are already up in the Manchester Arndale. Probably been up all week, maybe longer.

How did we manage to lose the War On Christmas guys

This photo of Terry Funk climbing on top of a steel cage from a 1976 NWA Worlds Title match vs. Gene Kiniski from St. Louis is fantastic.

Same energy.

This match will be better than any other match by any other company on that particular date, guaranteed.

KYOKYO ICHIBAN!
If you're an international fan coming to Japan over the holidays, tickets for January 4 Korakuen Hall are about to go on sale.

Hey check me out finally remembering my login details for my account!

Have I missed much?

Please read this.
WrestleMania to Riyadh changes the bargain.

Site fees replace gate risk. “Progress” becomes a picture on demand. And the travelling crowd turns into scenery.

I wrote about fans, money, soft power, and the runway night that still hangs over this.

Sixty Great British pounds.

Not even a good album.

Music industry's fucked lads. At this point just let it die.

I'm going home to see my mom this weekend.

Managed to convince her* to come along to the @northwrestling.bsky.social tomorrow.

Never been to NORTH before, so pretty psyched to finally go!

*- it didn't take much convincing.

The more I'm thinking about it, the more I'm a little sad I'm not doing Forbidden Door.

I'm DJing on Friday night and refereeing on Saturday, and I know I wouldn't enjoy the show with the added stress of an early-morning Sunday train to London and trying to get home after.

Have him do the job on the way out to Hangman, then he's free to go "home" to hang out and get photos with RFK Jr and Pete Hegseth and getting really active on X. Maybe become a Paid Podcaster shitting on his former workplace(s). Sky's the limit for him really.
I don't have the level of hatred other people have but I'm fine with Jericho going. Undeniably he did good things in the beginning but I haven't really missed him much. I think AEW has surpassed the need for him to be brutally honest, they've got stars in their own right now.

I hate that we are forced to live in the timeline where Blur shelved Never Clever and instead wrote, recorded and released Sunday Sunday...

for how good he is, and the HUGE impact he had on the wrestling scene, PAC is very very very under appreciated. Truly one of the greatest British pro wrestlers of all time. #aew 🤼‍♂️

I have now seen two G1 Climax winners wrestle at the Frog & Bucket.
Congratulations to Konosuke Takeshita, the G1 Climax 35 Winner!

Seeing a lot of buzz about the MOMENT, PAL(tm)* with Omos and Microman

Can't help wondering what the online response would be- especially by the Paid Podcastmen- if it was, say, Satnam Singh and Mascarita Dorada at Grand Slam Mexico...

*not to be confused with MOMENT, NTSC-J, which is mostly TJPW.

Exhausted and dehydrated, I slowly walk the last few steps. “This has to be it,” I think to myself. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and turn the handle, whispering a little prayer as I step through. I open my eyes and the last trickle of hope leaks away. I am still in IKEA.

I genuinely would not be surprised if we eventually find out that someone in the Trump orbit who follows wrestling asked HHH about bringing Lesnar back to “own the libs” or whatever

Yesterday I refereed an NWA title match.

Today I'm going to a watch a wrestling show purely as a fan for the first time since I went over to Japan.

In unrelated news, the grocery store in Chinatown sells Strong Zero now.

A dude literally punched the air and let out an audible "yesssss" when Adonis Creed finally knocked down Drago's lad in Creed 2.
Got me thinking.. What's the strongest reaction you've seen an audience member have to a scene in a cinema?

During the birthday party scene in SIGNS I saw a whole row of young women literally throw their popcorn in the air like a cartoon.
Someone in my audience had a very audible negative reaction to the dog scene in TOGETHER. So that was fun!
