We're cooked, folks. Misinformation, disinformation, dwindling education standards, bigotry, division, and amplification of violent rhetoric have cost us our sensibility. I truly have no idea how we find it. Just awful times that are going to follow us for decades to come.

Literally everything is more expensive than this time last year. My very essential medication to prevent pre-cancerous cells from growing went from a $5 co-pay to $30. Grocery bill is up at least 15%. But hey, at least we have two official pronouns now.

I'm not sure I have thoughts on Hulk Hogan's death that will ultimately contribute much to the public discourse, but I will say I have really appreciated reading a lot of thoughtful pieces today that have taken a deep dive into his place in culture, for better or for worse.

A #TNA official tells me the floor is sold-out for Slammiversary. They estimate it will be TNA’s most-attended show in the last decade, and the company is projecting internally it may end up being its most-attended U.S. show ever. I don’t have the total tix sold at this moment.

While this is true, goodwill is an enormous part of any long-form storytelling is paying off earned action. Imagine if the Avengers lost in Infinity War AND End Game. Would anyone care what happened next at the same level of investment?

Not ROH. Maybe AEW. But AEW will be negotiating its next media rights deal within the next year and a half or so in all likelihood.

I like Mike Brown a lot, actually, but I think the #Knicks hiring him would be a lateral move. In fact, I think they may even be looking forward to another name down the line 👀

That Punk/Cena segment is the very antithesis of everything CM Punk has been, his entire career. Punk's one of the best ever at talking people into buying a match, especially if things are personal. Didn't feel like the time to do that kind of segment, especially on a go-home.

I haven't done enough to acknowledge Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, as I have in the past. Candidly, this last month has been extremely defeating professionally for me. I know a lot of others feel the same. Thank you to those who have stuck through it. I appreciate you.

Over the last two weeks, the #Yankees have been by far and away the least clutch team in baseball (by both the eye test and FanGraphs). They were -2.01 coming into tonight (-2 or lower is considered "awful" in clutch situations). No one else in MLB is anywhere close.

18 years since the Chris Benoit tragedy. The darkest day in wrestling history, and one that had drastic consequences on the industry. Remarkable that it didn't have as devastating an effect as it could have, truthfully. One of those "remember where you were" moments.
