RIHO

You have my attention with Sasuke designs

Beyond that…we now have ANOTHER year where all the “young” guys (who aren’t that young anymore) talk a big game & end up looking like absolute dorks by the end of the G1.

For a company in DESPERATE need of new top stars, they do everything in their power to make sure that doesn’t happen. Baffling.

For the “but the Japanese fans like it!” responses…where is the evidence? If the people at your shows enjoy it, but there are less people at your shows than before…is that a net positive? No.

4,500 fans for a G1 semifinal night is an awful number. Will be fascinating to see what the final does.

If I wasn’t being paid to do a podcast that covers the promotion, I’m pretty sure I would be skipping the G1 Final tomorrow.

House of Torture stuff is just Russo-level bad, and it NEVER ENDS. And it’s so intelligence-insulting that it kills my interest in the rest of the product absolutely dead.

Recording a quick solo Big Audio Nightmare G1 Climax / 5 Star GP check-in show later today, for Observer subscribers.

If you have any questions or thoughts about either tournament, post them here and I’ll try to get to them on the show.

When someone (or a company) is telling you (multiple fucking times) who they are, it’s on you if you continually don’t believe them.

Continued.

These are the pages that most heavily focus on Lesnar. The full 101-page complaint can be read here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here's what Janel Grant's lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon alleges about Brock Lesnar.

(These pages contain detailed descriptions of alleged sexual abuse by McMahon and what Grant says was his attempt to traffic her to Lesnar during a contract negotiation.)

It has never been easier than it is today to be a fan of professional wrestling without giving ANY of your time, money, or attention to WWE.

Incredible world title match.

Made a last-minute call to COLLIDE

Holy shit FTR vs JetSpeed was AMAZING

Shibata vs Rush was so good. Just dudes being dudes, beating the hell out of each other.

Status: Colliding.

Ready to spend A LOT of time here for the next 3 weeks.

BRODY KING.

I was a Punk guy going back to like 2003, but this is 100 percent the final nail the coffin (that had already basically been closed in the past few years) for me.

He can fuck right off.

The worst shows sometimes make the best podcasts. Fun episode!!

Beyond that, chanting “fight forever” is literally chanting for a time limit draw.

Update: fighting off a bit of a cold, so as of now the plan is to record a new Big Audio Nightmare podcast *tomorrow night* with @sempervive.bsky.social for @wrestlingobserver.bsky.social subscribers

Also, IF this ends up needing to happen, I would make one show per month free to listen to.

So, IF circumstances end up dictating that it’s necessary, would you be interested in a Patreon-hosted podcast that is:

- very similar to what I’ve been doing for the past 20 years

- at least four shows/month: a mix of solo shows and shows with a very familiar co-host

- starting at $4.99/month

As of now, it looks like @sempervive.bsky.social and I will be recording a new Big Audio Nightmare podcast on Monday. Looking forward to it!

Hi. I won't be rejoining WOL in June as this other new thing I'm doing is THANGIN and it sure seems like it will continue to.
@bryanalvarez.bsky.social has been outstanding during this & has given me the light to come on WOL at anytime. When Dave moved on Bryan could have picked anyone... (1/2)

Looks like I’ll be doing July 16, 17, 23, and 30 for the AEW Aragon residency.

Anyone else get tickets?

Also, I lost my goddamn fucking mind for the Gabe Kidd reveal.

That whole ending angle was one of my favorite things AEW has done, excited to go back and watch the broadcast to see if it matched the energy I felt in the building.

This is tremendous.

A delightful 5+ hours of professional wrestling in suburban Chicago this evening. #AEWdynamite
