I can't even view WWE programming to hate-watch it anymore. It's so bad in every single conceivable aspect down to a sub-atomic level at this point.

There were NO MURDERS in this match, by the way. Everyone is VERY ALIVE.

Wait til you're 47. There's no fuzzy math that can round back down to 40 no matter your delusional capabilities. 50 is behind that hill and I can see its rays starting to rise. I thought I'd be dead by my early 30s lol.

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

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 was there live when they did the one hour match. It was awesome but we were constantly like "how long have these dudes been wrestling?!" for the last thirty minutes

When we lived in Portland, we were grocery shopping and Mandy asked me, in her mildly southern accent "where are the biscuits?" and this lady almost immediately tried to run her over with her shopping cart. It's hardwired into their no gas pumping hearts

It's not shade so much as it's my opinion regarding how I think it doesn't fit the feel of what is supposed to be AEW's most extreme match. Maybe "logo" wasn't the right description. It's more a wordmark if we're picking nits, but there were edits to it that aren't straight font, but who cares.

100% agree. Too much going high when they stay low. They should reach across the aisle...and fight. Decorum isn't working any more. Stop being the exact same as the corporate fluffing conservative assholes (...but on *your* side!) and practice what you preach. FIGHT for people. Period.

All this to say, I've done cool, fun stuff and I would love to do more cool, fun stuff for anyone hiring. I lost my job three weeks ago due to Trump making Solar Tax Incentives disappearing on Dec 31 and the Solar Company I was Director of Marketing for lost most of our business. Someone hire me!

I did some other fun stuff for them as well. One night Matt Hardy tagged with the Young Bucks and I did a "Hardy Boys Era" type video for his entrance with one hour notice. It was fun seeing something I'd just finished being played in Jacksonville minutes later.

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.
