Then, Now, Whatever

*whispers* You know what's a good way to help promotions lose interest in "Is it a work? Is it a shoot?" angles that you all say you hate so much? Stop taking such an interest in whether something's a work or a shoot. They think this is the way to get a rise out of people. Sandbag it 🤼

Fake Godzilla tearing it's own face off

Fake Godzilla. art by me.

Just finished the latest season of Beavis & Butt-Head & this is all I can think of when I see Post Malone now. Very droll.

Or Sunday Night Heat. Or that one hour of the Wrestlemania Kick Off Show that aired on NBC because the Weekend Update hosts were in the Andre Memorial Battle Royale that one time.

The comparisons to The Shockmaster are too harsh unless he's suddenly going into a headline angle Vs The Vision or something. The Gobbledygooker comparisons are much more apt, maybe even not harsh enough if you're being ultra-cynical

Danhausen's debut:

The video is the end of the segment. He just came out of the coffin with his dancers, every time his music mentioned cursing he'd do a curse that would make a tiny Orange Cassidy bit of farty pyro go off & gave Michael Cole a jar of teeth. That's it. No punch line or anything

Toni being the Yano to Yuta's Moxley is giving me life

While I get a vague sense of what Punk is attempting to get at near the end there, it's worth noting for those of you keeping the score at home that his World Title match last night was sponsored by the US Air Force. He's got absolutely no leg to stand on

The chuds over-reacting to Bob Vylan have ruined everything - Glastonbury last year had loads of artists' pleas to free Palestine air uncensored & remain unedited on VOD. Now it's censored at the Baftas & the Brits all within a week. Cool cool cool...

Their censorship was so fucking weird, they censored Sharon saying "Ozzy Fucking Osbourne" at, like, 10.50pm - it's nearly two hours after the watershed, it's okay to broadcast the word fuck.

There was an incredible "is it a work/is it a shoot?" spot in Sombr's performance where a "stage invader" shoved him off his podium & then "security" chasing him off conveniently made him tear down the curtain behind Sombr to reveal his band

Kathy & are are absolutely in stitches seeing how touched Noel Gallagher was to hear Pep Guardiola tell him "I love you"

AEW alum Jack Whitehall called Alex Warren "temu Ed Sheeran" in his opening monologue but has now suddenly upgraded his to "extraordinary" when introducing his performance

I love a good foil variant. I got the Mercedes/Zatanna variant

"We've sort of been on a comeback tour for the past 30 years... it's like we've been in a 42 year sexless marriage" Shaun Ryder on the Happy Mondays just now

Here to brighten your day with Gabby Forza gnoming @willowwrestles.bsky.social

I finally got to see them live at the MEN last year & when they were playing something from their first album they were like "lol 1st time we played this in Manchester was in front of 40 people at Fuel Cafe" - I've had mates play shows there!

And hell yeah Sam Fender & Olivia Dean and Wolf Alice winning awards! Props to Ellie for making grass root venues the focal point of her speech

It's knocking on 20 years since I watched a BRIT Awards ceremony but some sort of Mancunian patriotism has got me watching tonight & it's pretty wild to see K-Pop Demon Hunters performing right outside the tram line that takes me into the city!

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Evergreen (sadly) 🤼‍♂️

There's a big enough portion of the fans who wouldn't bat an eye lid if MJF did a joke they didn't laugh at or some other wrestler didn't get their timing right on a spot, but if Hardly did either of those things they'd be frothing at the mouth about "ThiS Is SUppoSed tO Be WHEre ThE BESt WResTLe!"

Some of those way too hardcore fans really really hate Harley & it's getting really really old. Do better 🤼

I loved him invoking the spirit of that robot that kicked it's motion-capper in the balls & mocked his pain 🤼 bsky.app/profile/jjvi...

Holy shit!! #AEWDynamite

Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood has a joke density beyond belief. I think it was the first episode I taped & might be my favourite.

"Aw, $20, but I wanted a peanut"
"$20 can buy many peanuts"
"Explain how!"
"Money can be exchanged for goods and services"
"Woo hoo!"

Trish is another thoroughly under-utilised talent. That's literally the kind of match that they need at least once a week on that show, instead of filler squash matches.

Yo! Area 53 from The Bryant Brothers, flapjack, gutbuster, cutter! #MysteryWrestling21andahalf 🤼
