A wrestler wearing trunks with no knee pads or knee pads down, is somehow more uncomfortable than if they hung dong.

I have to admit, it's pretty impressive. For seven years, CM Punk had all the fans on his side. This rebel who was fucked over and deserved another chance. We were rooting for them. Then he finally came back, and completely shit his own bed in every regard that you possibly can. As a huge fan it's very disappointing, but also you know... hysterical?

Christian Cage vs. Bryan Danielson was one of the best matches I've seen in a while. It was so sound, and felt so 90s. I can't properly express how much I loved it. Highly recommended.

I don't know if it's irony or not but... certainly "funny."

Jon Moxley leaves WWE, and management says he is just an unhappy person, who will never be happy or satisfied. Now in 2023, I'm not sure I've ever seen him happier or more satisfied. CM Punk leaves WWE, and management says he is just an unhappy person, who will never be happy or satisfied. Now in 2023, holy shit they may have made the most understated observations of the decade.

It's always hysterical when people say to you, "You know wrestling is fake, right?"

What?! I thought when you pushed a person into ropes, they just sprang back like that. Holy shit.

For real though, people have been chanting "fake" at wrestling matches since the late 1800s, if not longer. In my entire life, the amount of wrestling fans I have met that thought it was legit was minuscule at best. Almost completely relegated to small children. With that in mind, I ask who is the fool in this situation. To me, it is the person sheepish enough to think that people think wrestling is real. Or is it simply a matter of trying to ruin fun that you can't enjoy? It's a good thing these people have all these 100% real movies, books, and reality TV to consume. Or else I don't know what these people would do for entertainment.

It will forever crack me up. Watching the WWF in the 90s, Billy Gunn just looked like an average sized dude, relative to the rest of the company. Now, he looks like a fucking giant in comparison to most everyone else on the AEW roster.

Wrestling News in 1997:

Major star has shown up in rival promotion, without any notice whatsoever. People are gobsmacked. Here is the details of how that came about. Wrestling "News" in 2023:

Listen to what this bitter, clueless, out of touch old asshole had to say on his podcast, about something contemporary.

Did I literally see people get upset at hearing CM Punk might go back to WWE? Come on. Stop trying to apply any moralistic integrity to wrestlers, ever. They will always let you down. I've watched wrestling in five different decades and the one thing I've learned is you can never burn a bridge because they will send a boat for you, and morals do not exist in wrestling. Anyone with rigid morals do not last in the wrestling industry, and anyone who does stay abandons any and all. I've been saying since he left in 2014, and I've been saying since he debuted in AEW that he would end back up in WWE. It's not intuition, it's simply following a logical path taught over watching this wretched industry since the 80s. I'm sorry you're disappointed, that's all wrestling will ever do to you.

Jim Ross has not been a good commentator in many years and continues to get worse, and there is no shame in that. The dude was literally the best to ever do it, for a lot of years. Everyone slips, there is the reason the expression "their prime" exists. To me, the best role for Jim Ross in the last decade would be doing those sit down interviews. He conducted maybe the best one ever, and he does add weight to those segments. It's also not live, and you can edit it.

There are tiny things Jon Moxley does that are such little pro things.

Did you notice when he did a face off with Hangman, he widened his stance? He intentionally made himself roughly the same height, as to make Hangman seem taller. That's helping everyone involved in your angle, not just you.

When that episode of Dark Side of the Ring dropped, so many people were saying AEW would never sign Ric Flair because, "Tony Khan isn't an idiot." To which my response was something to the extent of, "Not an idiot, but a mark. Which is probably worse when it comes to running a wrestling company. He'll be there once he thinks things have blown over."

My inner monologue had to remind myself it was 2023. "A wrestler flashed a gun at someone? How is that news?" Oh right. Wrestling isn't like that anymore.

It's hard for me to really have an opinion on the whole CM Punk situation, when I wasn't there first hand.

I worked on shows with Punk for about two years, twenty years ago. Even then, he even had a reputation amongst people as being an unberable dickhead, but I never saw it. I saw a very honest, very straight forward person. If you showed him basic respect, he showed it to you. My initial meeting with him I thought he was a dick, but after two or three times? I got him him. And he was nothing but nice to me. Overwhelming so, honestly. He would go out of his way to say, "Hey kid come here," and share with me the most inconsequential things he was excited by. I appreciated his time, and he seemed to appreciate mine in whatever small capacity. So, I don't know. I wasn't there. Has Punk changed, or are the people that reacted huge just like the people that called him dicks twenty years ago, but these ones have power? I can't say. I don't know.

I didn't realize Mistico (Caristico/Sin Cara) was Mistico again. I've been out of the Lucha loop for a few years, and I had no idea.

I miss Terry Funk, and I am never going to not miss him. Yet, I must say how refreshing it is that in the modern age, 99.9% of all wrestling deaths tend to be of old age. I remember being a teenager and an early adult, having to hold my breath every time I went to load a wrestling news site. On any given day, it could of literally been anyone added to a very morbid list of casualties. Now? You're sort of prepared. Someone is getting up there in numbers, and you know we all don't last forever. It's still sad and it wrenches your heart, but very rarely is your heart ever torn from you.

There was a time (late 90s-early 00s) when I thought wrestling was flying too much by the seat of their pants. They diminished surprises, and made them become the norm. Now in 2023, I think wrestling has become too stringent. Debut surprises are cheap, I will still admit that. They can still be fun, but can become a crutch. However, we never get things like, an unexpected title change. Not really, anyway. A World Title change from a person you don't expect to win on television? You never get that. You will never get that now. Long term fans are very important, but when you don't take moments to shake the box, things can get very monotonous. Like, just for example, can you imagine if Eddie Kingston would of won the World Title on TV two years ago? It would of caused a buzz. It may not of worked, but you can always switch it back. No one truly capitalizes on the buzz of a wrestler anymore. If someone gets over against their plans, person be damned. I don't have you in the plans, so fuck what the fans think.
