It's the aisle seat so I can stretch out and use the bathroom without disturbing anyone. 6 gets my vote too.

A framed yellow door sits at the end of a path between two rows of hedges. Behind the door is an open meadow.

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.

Prestige are Good People. I'm hoping DOA jump onboard too.

If I steal this for @catchprowres.bsky.social (for if/when I'm ever allowed to go mad with power and put on a Produce Show) I promise we'll call it Greensbury Rules.

UPLOAD REVOLUTION 2020 ORANGE CASSIDY VS PAC SO I CAN EASILY SHOW IT TO MY GIRLFRIEND YOU COWARDS

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

I'll be OK- it means we've got Mizuki vs Shoko Nakajima and Arisu Endo vs Miyu Yamashita in the quarterfinals coming up and those matches are gonna fuckin' rule ass!! 🤩

Personally I'm mad because Hyper Misao lost in the first round of the TJPW Tokyo Princess Cup tournament (although honestly Arisu Endo should win the whole thing, she's ready for a main event push) but I feel that might not be what other folks are upset about.

Minoru Suzuki was aura farming long before the term even existed.

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.

I do hope he's a good friend and let's Proud Dogg Brian Armstrong come along to these events, he'd be in heaven!

Humble Hearst Helmsley being a lil Shy Boi is the cornerstone of The Humble Hearst Helmsley Era

X-Pac heat doesn't exist, and the Kliq have one less member and therefore less influence backstage- meaning that after The Curtain Call incident, HHH is outright fired instead of dropped down the card to make an example, leading to an underwhelming WCW run and a fade into obscurity in early TNA...

Sean "Lightning Kid" Waltman signs with NJPW in 1993.

He enters the 1994 Super J-Cup, leading to bookings in ECW and ends up part of the Benoit/Guerrero/Malenko crew, joining WWF in 2000 as part of The Radicalz. Gets fired for drug use (the same time as Eddie), ends up a major player in early ROH.

After a couple days sleeping in his car at the Severn Bridge services, Richey Edwards drives back to his parents' home who make his safety known to authorities. An abbreviated version of the 1995 US tour goes ahead with Manic Street Preachers playing as a three-piece. Richey stays home and writes.

Weirdly, I keep thinking about Owen Morris salvaging Oasis's Sawmills session recordings for Definitely Maybe. He basically compressed and limited the shit out of them, inadvertantly kicking off the loudness wars. And without that huge, abrasive sound, Oasis don't become the biggest band in the UK.

Awwww, why did they do him dirty and have him on camera the whole time?! Poor guy- we all know Daddy H HATES being the focus of attention- Humble Hearst Helmsley being out of the spotlight is the cornerstone of The Humble Hearst Helmsley era, after all!

That's our homegrown, anxious millennial, sometimes appropriately outraged, climate advocat, leaves is plants, equal rights advocate, humanitarian, workers rights solidarity living, immigrant rights and AEW men's world champion cowboy. 🥹❤️

Said it before, I'll say it again-

You don't see Sanshiro Takagi doing pathetic shit like this.

The Taz & Excalibur Smile-Time Comedy Hour got a lot of us through the hellscape that was 2020/2021.

Not surprised Vince McMahon went unscathed in that car accident.

He survived a 3-hour train wreck every Monday night for years and years.

Is there a collective name for the subset of movies that ordinarily you'd never watch, but when presented as an option during a flight you'll always put it on?

Dodgeball is the undisputed king of this for me, with Rat Race as a close second.

@patrickhwillems.bsky.social might have an idea.

Honestly, one of the best in-ring experiences I've had as a referee was being told "calling it in the ring, just watch for rope breaks. You'll know the finish when it happens."

Thankfully a lot of places (or at least in my experience) go against the micromanaging mentality. Wrestlers are *trusted*.

The author's booking info sheet. A hand-drawn image by Maple Thistle Designs based on a photograph taken by Michiko, with text added using iPhone's photo editor. No AI in sight. Has this booking info sheet got the author any work? No. Does it look cool? ...I mean, I think so!

Yuuuuup- seen a few folks (not naming them) using AI for their promo images and booking info sheets too. Like, my dudes, there's so many great graphic designers- give them some work!

We've seen a bunch since last time you mentioned it and oh boyyyyy we've had some chuckles at one company in particular 😅
