These are actual YouTube thumbnails.
I've fallen down a hole.
AEW fan keeps how many poeple in basement
YouTube just recommended a video to me that has 8 views and this thumbnail. I need to watch more squirrel videos and less wrestling.
I gotta admit, I'm now kind of curious what those concerns were. YOU GOT ME
If you want an update on F4Wonline's descent into SEO-bait, their first story in their news section is patch notes for version 1.04 of WWE 2K26. Finally, where else could I learn that they "Addressed reported concerns with Dominik Mysterio’s reward mask."
A day later and it's funny how most of the crowd that conjures up journalistic biases and pay-for-play deals with zero proof are largely quiet when a real one emerges. Huh, I wonder what the difference is!
I will say that in life, the middling 5/10 or C review often hurts more than the 1/10 or F because you can't tell yourself "Oh it's bad faith, they hate everything I do" as easily. The "I like you but..." is always a four-word prelude to personal pain.
They're calling it the most predictable story in human history.
Well, that is very kind of you to say!
I apologize in advance for my performance on the early episodes! And to a lesser extent, my performance on the later ones.
Occasionally!
This short little video actually does a good job of explaining this but using coffee instead of wrestling.

I think you appreciate great matches more if you also watch the bad and mid ones, and grow picky and numb if you only watch the best of the best. The trade off is on your deathbed a wise ghost tells you that you spent 5 months of your life watching every episode of WCW Power Hour.
In terms of conversations I don't want to have, I'd rank "Are wrestlers athletes?" as better than "Are wrestlers actors?" and "Are wrestlers tough guys?" but still slightly worse than my doctor telling me I have a newly discovered, more severe form of Herpes called Herpes Complex.
ICYMI: Last night was our first new episode in about a month!
Randomly thinking back to the time in 1996 when WWF plugged their $1.49 a minute hotliine by telling people to call to learn what British Bulldog and Magic Johnson had in common. (You'd phone fearing HIV, in reality it was "They both had recent altercations with referees.")
Just bought these online. I have a sickness.
A thing that always strikes me reading old newsletters is how often they listed wrestlers' exact salaries. I don't know if promoters or wrestlers got shy about sharing them, or if reporters got shy about saying them, but I miss knowing exactly what Honky Tonk Man made in 1994.
I can't wait to not watch the Rhea/Jade stuff play out in the next season of WWE Unreal.
Currently peer pressuring myself into listening to that Hardcore History about the Roman Empire so I don't have to talk about wrestling or any other dumb hobby I have.
Have to get a root canal in three hours and every podcast I want to listen to during it opens a Pandora's Box of conversations I don't want to have with someone's hands in my mouth if I'm asked about it.
ThROH The Years fans: I know normally we put an episode out every 3 weeks, so you are likely expecting one tonight, but life stuff for Matt and I has delayed us. We should be back in one week's time, barring anything unforeseen!
ICYMI: I posted a massive sequel to my 1990 article the other day!
Somehow a situation arose where fucking NETFLIX was the lesser evil, and we couldn't even have that.
Mick kind of negging Wade about the quality of his questions and Wade immediately hits him with "Do you like David Letterman?"
Wade Keller interviewed Cactus Jack in 1990 and they don't do journalism like this anymore:
