I have a feeling that Brian Cage might be injured after the 7/11/26 episode of Collision. He grabbed his pec when he powerbombed Darby for the third time and I saw him glancing down at it at least twice afterwards. Just a hunch. Hopefully, I'm wrong. #AEW #AEWCollision #BrianCage

I was planning something hilarious and totally worth it for my 300th post on BlueSky, but I posted this instead. Oh well, too late now!

The fact that John Waters is, at 80, still vital and funny and just as forward-thinking as ever and no one will give him money to make a movie is proof this world is broken.

On Jackie Robinson Day, we revisit a classic episode of Perspectives, hosted by Lionel Osborne, that aired on a Sunday morning at 4:54 am with guest Jermaine Allensworth, a professional baseball player. Enjoy. www.reddit.com/r/LiveFromNe...

I created the original Blood & Guts logo for #AEW in 2020 and last month saw that it had changed. It went from stylized and cool to a font that comes with your PC. My version was on toys and used for 4 years and looked cool as hell. Oh well. It's not mine, but it was a bummer to see it changed.
The new Blood and Guts logo that I don't like that replaced the original logo that I created for AEW in 2020The original Blood & Guts logo from the original promo that revealed the name. Blood & Guts in my hometown of Nashville. Was really proud to see it advertising something for Nashville's market.I was shocked to see the Blood and Guts logo on a series of action figures. They did this one of Brody King and Darby Allin. They also did some for MJF, CM Punk, Wheeler Yuta, Jon Moxley, Britt Baker, Thunder Rosa, Kenny Omega and Cody and Dustin Rhodes.

Was looking at title histories on the WWE website and was in the 24/7 Title section and I'm really curious why Jinder Mahal's five minute reign is listed on there are well...more. #JinderMahal #WWE #247Title #2347days #wtf
Jinder Mahal's five minute 24/7 title reign is listed on wwe.com as 2347 days. 

This is slightly off.

I'd like to thank the following people that helped me out after my last post about losing my job: Nobody. Not a repost. Not a message about an opening you saw. Not an introduction to someone who is hiring. Not a single word of encouragement. Nothing.

A joke about Dolly Parton writing "I will always love you" and "Jolene" on the same day and it being as impressive like if van Gogh painted the mona Lisa and in the same day also wrote "Jolene"

once you actually internalize that society is fake and we just made everything up and none of this is real other than the "realness" people have placed upon it, it's insane that anyone thought any of this would work in the first place

SCUBA is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. What you may not know is that Tuba is also an acronym for Terrible Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

Jesus Christ. This is beyond fucked. After tearing down the news media for decades, they're now taking over the media and will tell their Jennings that truth in journalism is back, and the propaganda machine will be in full unmerciful swing. I hate it here.

Okay, kids. For those that are fans of the 90s and AJPW's Four Pillars... Do you think Akira Taue deserves to be the fourth? Or would you substitute Jun Akiyama? Would love to hear your opinions and reasons why or why not! #ajpw #fourpillars #misawa #kobashi #kawada #taue #akiyama

Today I learned that wrestlers used to have business cards. It makes sense. I just never thought about it. Anyway, here are two of Sabu's business cards from the 80s/90s. Enjoy!

I had a decent amount of followers at the old place but bounced because I'm a decent human being. I appreciate that I get the same lack of interaction here. It's good to have consistency.

Josh Alexander should keep being a badass and add the wrinkle that he can't hear shit with the ear protectors on. Example: Don could be cutting a promo and they all walk off and Josh stands there as they walk because he didn't hear it. Or he doesn't hear Don's coaching and loses. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
