Archiving old wrestling footage honestly feels like preserving cultural history at this point. So much of it exists only because fans cared enough to record and share it decades later.

Nothing hits like a song you forgot about.

I miss when wrestling feuds simmered for months through promos and run-ins before the big payoff match. Slow burns create legendary rivalries.

Rewatching 2006 TNA and it just confirms that Low Ki has always had the charisma of drywall. The guy is lame as fuck.

Practical effects > CGI. Always.

Sam Raimi really built something special with this trilogy. From cabin terror to full-blown fantasy madness, it never loses its soul. The practical effects, the creativity, the heart. They don’t make them like this anymore. Hail to the king, baby. #EvilDead #Horror #CultClassic

Army of Darkness is pure chaotic fun. It leans all the way into fantasy and somehow makes horror feel like an adventure movie. Stop-motion skeletons, over-the-top action, and Ash at his most quotable. It’s ridiculous, confident, and completely unforgettable.

Evil Dead 2 might be the greatest horror-comedy ever made. It’s a remake, sequel, and fever dream all at once. The possessed hand scene alone is legendary. Sam Raimi turned splatter into slapstick art. Absolute masterpiece.

The Evil Dead is raw, mean, and relentless. Made on grit and insanity, it feels dangerous in a way horror rarely does now. That camera work, the practical effects, the pure chaos in that cabin. You can feel the hunger behind every frame.

Random thought: Some of the best wrestling gear designs ever came from territories where budgets were tiny but personality was huge. Simplicity + uniqueness > overdesigned gear almost every time.

Discord requiring a state ID and face scan just to prove you’re 18 is wild. We’ve gone from simple email verification to handing over biometric data just to use a chat app. That’s a massive privacy risk and a terrible precedent for how platforms treat users.

The biggest boss in Tarkov isn’t Killa, Tagilla, or the Goons… it’s inconsistent optimization. #Tarkov #EFT

The Midnight Rider storyline is still one of the coolest examples of wrestling leaning fully into suspension of disbelief. Everyone knew… but nobody knew. Wrestling thrives when it commits to the bit.

If you’re a wrestling fan, you need to read Death of the Territories by Tim Hornbaker. It breaks down how the old regional system fell apart and how Vince McMahon changed everything. It’s one of the best looks at that era I’ve ever read.

One underrated aspect of territory wrestling was how promoters built stars through repetition. Fans saw their favorites weekly, not just monthly or quarterly. That connection built loyalty that modern wrestling struggles to replicate.

The beauty of territory wrestling was that local crowds genuinely believed in their heroes. When someone like Junkyard Dog or Wahoo McDaniel walked into a building, it wasn’t just entertainment. It felt personal to the fans.

There is no adrenaline rush in gaming quite like hearing footsteps in Tarkov while you’re overweight, low on ammo, and trying to extract with rare loot.

The Bills entering next season feels like a turning point. The roster still has elite talent, but expectations are shifting from “contender” to “prove it again.” That can either create pressure… or motivation.

Been watching Mid-South Wrestling ’86 between my TNA rewatch, and my god… it’s astounding how good it is. The locker room is stacked, the matches are realistic and hard-hitting. It’s so damn good. #wrestlesky

Gone but not forgotten

Smooth my motion till I max frame rate.

It’s a bummer that TNA had such a rough debut on AMC. I was genuinely rooting for them. I watched the show a few days later once it hit TNA+, and… damn, it just wasn’t good. I’m going to keep watching in hopes that it improves, but if I’m being honest, it’s not looking promising.

What the fuck is going on with the Bills?
