i'm 80% sure he's a heterosexual

It's easier, I think, to categorize Kenny's greatness in terms of his heel work but I often find myself wondering--if that was true, why in the world do so many people have a hard time booing him? I feel close to an answer that's related to his line-blurring. And It all starts with this match.

speaking of acting: another interesting thing is his acting career, which has been incredibly uninteresting so far. this also might hinder that. all around awful news for lovers of terrible art.

Really bummed about this, I think a Fired For The Second Time ROH Codyverse would be an incredible and psychotic addition to AEW's diverse programming

Five years of painstaking research, 9+ hours of recording, all of which could be boiled down into this 20 second clip.

the key to enjoying any Sareee-ism show is to just turn your brain off, throw logic out the window, and ask yourself the question "would Will Ospreay be more interesting if he was 80% less problematic and had 30% more CTE."

covering these matches has been so delightful. it's been an extra bonus experiencing Colette's joy alongside her, as it's been so rare that we've been able to express excitement about Kenny's work together in real time. that being said, i am so fucking happy to start watching another wrestler lolol

Tried to write about Golden Lovers vs. Apollo 55, which impossibly feels like the Omega's first big breakout match in Japan. substack.com/home/post/p-...

You get exactly one chance at being here & the only thing that matters is that you are kind to the people who love you honestly & know you holistically, and that you make a concerted effort in turn to love yourself as honestly & kindly as humanly possible. RIP PAC, you lived it.

it is important to remember that wrestling is designed to illicit a strong emotional response from you. When done well, it approaches beauty. When done perfectly, it transcends that & enters into something ethereal & beyond words. No wrestler deserves this more.

One of the wrestling podcasts I host could be best described as "a master's level class on professional wrestling" and the other one could be best described as "a trans woman has a series of existential crises as her three cis cohosts watch a giant head lick a boobie."

really weird seeing a Hayley Williams career resurgence that is at least a tiny bit rooted in a subset of queer people finally realizing that she is incredibly sexy.

when Joey Styles said "Gloria Steinem, this one's for you," he was being critical of second-wave feminism's exclusion of black women and other oppressed groups.

I sent Orchid a bunch of Tommy Dreamer matches when really my contributions to the playlist should have been “burying ECW on his first CZW date,” “him going W W F’n E during a match” and “the Philly-based EV2.0 promotion”

(to be abundantly clear: I am making fun of new the age neoliberals who call themselves leftists but have shit praxis. I've lived through countless iterations of whites co-opting radical Black language, the people parroting this never knew what 'woke' meant to begin with.)

There is honestly a lot of catharsis in watching Tajiri buzzsaw kick the living fuck out of every white boy who is outwardly racist to him
