He's already the Packers leading quarterback in QBR.

I went over there to see people dunking on him for this breathtakingly stupid bullshit, but so many have been (rightly) driven away by all of Elon's fuckery that probably 3 out of every 4 replies are nodding along in agreement.

We used to be a proper society where shit like this got bullied.

I'm not sure that any of these are actually real people. I remain convinced that someone just went to a generative AI prompt and asked for pictures of the most punchable faces that you could possibly imagine.

The graphic remains undefeated.

I once read that 80% of conservative outrage is just them finding out for the first time how something works. And thatโ€ฆthat fits.

Depending on how Night 16 goes this week, you could have two of Narita, Takeshita, or Umino make the playoffs. While I like Oiwa and Uemura, that's not nothing either. Maybe I'm overly forgiving, but so long as one of the new young guns wins, I think it's going okay, provided that there's follow-up.

Sure, but they did Tanahashi vs. EVIL in a lumberjack match at *last year's* WK. It feels really unlikely that they'd do it again. That feels more like a thing to do on the Destruction tour.

He's already lost to Shota, but he's 2-0 against Tsuji, and he's never faced Narita one-on-one.

I could be entertained by President Tanahashi trying to guide Narita to the light and away from all the HoT bulshit on a redemption story, culminating to a respectful match at WK to put a bow on it.

I'm afraid I'm not following you here.

I'd be honestly surprised if he's still feuding with HoT by January, and I haven't heard even any speculation about his last match yet.

It feels more likely to me that he winds up working with one of the new Three Musketeers and putting them over at WK.

The EVIL/Tanahashi booking just...I don't get what the point was. At all. You teased something potentially interesting or some actual growth, only for the same old retread bullshit Pt. 189749374293. And why? To prove that EVIL's a dick? Yeah, we've read that book and we know how it ends. Move on.

Well, if I read it right, Shooter winning on the 13th would cut through ALL the potential logjam in B Block, and make the playoffs real simple: ZSJ (12 or 14), Shooter and the Narita/Takeshita winner (both at 12). But if he loses to Great O-Khan, then there could be 4-5 competitors all stuck at 10.

11.08.2025 18:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That leaves Tsuji, Narita, and Shooter, to me, as your likeliest winners. All between 27-31. All in just their 3rd G1.

If I did my math right, the Narita/Takeshita winner is in, and it feels like the loser might still be able to sneak in. I also believe Shooter is in with a win over Great O-Khan.

I don't think EVIL wins, because obviously. I don't think ZSJ wins because he's the champ and already called his challenger at Wrestle Kingdom last year. I don't think Finlay wins because he already won the NJ Cup. I don't think Takeshita wins as he still feels very 'special attraction.'

The obvious answer for Forbidden Door is Tanahashi. I think we all got that. But as to #AEWCollision next week, maybe one of the juniors? KUSHIDA? Hiromu? Fujita? Eagles? I don't see many heavyweights that would fit the bill and aren't one of the New Japan Dads (Honma, Kojima, Makabe, Nagata, etc.)

11.08.2025 18:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Forbidden Door is more open, but since Callis called out a challenger for "next week," and since that's night 17 of the G1, and the first night of the playoff rounds of #G1Climax35, it feels reasonable to guess that anyone involved in the G1, playoffs or otherwise is not happening. #AEWCollision

The funniest part is that his entire driving force for every decision heโ€™s made in the last ten years is to become the most liked, most popular little birthday boy of all time. And itโ€™s literally made him despised around the world.

There is no excuse to not be following Sam for coverage of this case. She has been on it from the beginning, and if you want to be informed, you owe it to yourself to be following along.

I mean, you should follow her anyway because she's amazing, but *especially* for this.

Well, we tried to talk about how weird they were but all of the fucking consultants shit their pants about being mean. And no, I will never be over that absolute own-goal. Idiots.

If I'm being perfectly honest, Galaxy-Con itself doesn't particularly attract me that much. But maybe that's just because I've never attended a con before. Feels like a good way to drop a shit ton of money just three weeks before Christmas.

If it were me, I would simply not drop 2/3 to each of the Brewers, Cardinals, and Reds. But that's just me.

Also worth pointing out now that Finlay is through that no one has EVER won the New Japan Cup and G1 Climax in the same year, and I don't think Finlay is the guy to do it. I'm sure they like him but I can't imagine it's THAT much. The field still feels really wide open, and I dig that. #G1Climax35

An O-Khan win would leave he, Shota, the Narita/Takeshita loser and the Moloney/Shingo winner ALL sitting at 10. And trying to figure out who advances out of that chaos with ZSJ and the Narita/Takeshita winner I couldn't make heads or tails of it. That entire block is just a car crash. #G1Climax

Okay, has anybody done the legwork on the scenarios for the last night of #G1Climax B Block?

If I've got this right, the easiest is Shota beats Great O-Khan; then, he and the Narita/Takeshita winner join ZSJ and that's it. Otherwise, yikes. I got lost trying to figure out tiebreakers for that.

Legend doing an absolute shit ton of heavy lifting here. Also, the "shut up and play sports" crowd has some real interesting thoughts when the athlete agrees with them, don't they?

To be uncomfortably blunt, I also need AEW/ROH to shit or get off the pot with the Von Erichs. To the best that I've read/heard, they're not injured, but they have worked a whopping nine matches so far in 2025 since coming back at the Honor Club show in Texas back in February.
