Yes and thank you for asking.
Serious follow-up question to the quoted post, because I want to make sure I understand how people feel about WWE and 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 under their umbrella.
Is EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. who's attached to WWE, either employed by them or their affiliates, guilty? Should WWE die so that they all lose their jobs?

If your AEW fandom stops you from being able to at least golf clap for TNA and acknowledge that a significant TV deal for a pro wrestling brand in 2025 is a good thing for the business as a whole, you might might need to hand over your no tribalism club membership card. Kinda cringey, honestly.

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

The sheer audacity of this ahistorical, Dave Meltzer hate, is really outrageous. Dave gave this match and its predacessor, three and three quarter stars. And that's before Daveflation, when those numbers meant something.

If 30 mil is the TNA number (rumoured, taking w/grain of salt for now) then that is simultaneously nothing in the broader context of sports rights fees AND a massive over-valuation of them at the same time. Huge win for them regardless.

Insanely curious what kind of stuff they throw at the debut show. Also curious what kind of cash was thrown their way for this. That is the big question now imo.
TNA's deal with AMC is OFFICIAL.

Wondering why so many American TV networks are forking out SO much money for wrestling content before catching a glimpse of what their non-wrestling shows currently look like.

This shit almost certainly means more to him than if he got to make another Metal Gear.

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...

Never like the whole 'I'm not doing a character' thing, but Eddie's promo on Collision felt like the exact type of thing he's needed since he's been back. Felt a bit like "oh shit, Eddie is actually back." Really hope the match delivers.

All the wonderful sets and large crowd choreography in Pluribus makes it look and feel great but also makes things like the CGI background on the rooftop shot in this week’s episode stick out like a sore thumb. Can’t win em all!
