Quiznos was the WCW of subs. They could have taken down Subway but they let them off the hook. Does their former CEO have a podcast where they shit on upstart sub brands?

Typical right wind pundit who assumes left wingers are paid to protest because they can't imagine anyone not being driven by self interest or profit

You make a pretty good point about the cultural impacts of the big box monoculture, in addition to the economic ones.

I mean, I feel like we're just starting to recover from the pro wrestling monoculture spawned by the death of regional territories

Bill Maher is the β€œHey Nineteen” guy, he’s definitely had to explain who Aretha Franklin is to his dinner date (who is bored out of her mind)

I'm just old enough to have witnessed Wal Mart hit the small town/county I grew up in. Within a few years, no more locally owned grocery store downtown, no more family run clothing store on main street. Etc. Etc.

This reminds me of when Toni Storm pronounces Dynamite "Dee-nah-muh-tay"

You're going to need to clarify which one in this instance

After last year's draft I kinda want them to keep their top picks and use the cap space on free agents

Jestico? Mistispeed?

Should use that in an injury angle

So cool! Can't decide if I stan kārearea or if I'm a tītī guy

They have to teach him to be less interesting and wrestle less effectively.

Are there any other cool New Zealand birds I need to know about? Whether or not they fuck is optional.

I might go as high as 7 but that's still not a top guy or someone being held down as tag champ territory. I thought his spot in AEW was basically perfect.

This is not going to end well

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Is Grok his doctor?

He's a guy you get over in low stakes segments. Crazy shit to expect him to satisfy as a hyped up surprise.

The Doc and Gordy of the women's division

The AEW Men's World Title scene is overflowing with intrigue. They're definitely not coasting into All In, even if the plan remains to crown Ospreay in London. So many purposeful and coherent twists and turns along the way.

Not out of the realm of possibility

I just assume the actual names assigned the NXT level are the product of some intern using Grok

Very nice. Very MAGA.

Hmmn. I think you're right. Honestly, they could do worse.

They're gonna change his name. Imagine the hideous name they're going to give him.

Epic Fury sounds like an Attitude Era PPV (derogatory)

I could see going for a Misawa style rolling elbow.

I get a laugh out of imagining Dusty busting out an atomic elbow in a barroom brawl.
