I saw somebody with a young bucks shirt on in public.

Then I heard them using the terms work, shoot, and gimmick when ordering a coffee.

Sweet Jesus.

I'm usually at the Evolve show right as it starts, and I'm half an hour early this time. I don't know what to do with this unstructured time.
 
Shout "echo" into the room. Although since it's an Evolve show you have all night to do that.

Seriously. Haven't watched any since Mania weekend, but thought I'd at least check out WALTER vs Yehi from last night - the crowd were so abysmally quiet. What the fuck has happened to East Coast crowds?
 
When's the last time Satin missed on a story? Why is this the thing his credibility doesn't hold up on?

I don't think we're that far apart on this. Satin and you are saying that they won't Jones ringside because he would be a distraction, to disdain and disbelief. I'm saying that he would be a distraction, especially since Jones 1) probably doesn't have a deal to do business with WWE, so they wouldn't bother inviting him to sit ringside and 2) they would gain little from having him sit ringside. He would be a distraction, and the appeal of mainstream (read: ESPN) coverage doesn't matter because they already have a business arrangement with ESPN to use ESPN as their medium for news. Unlike when they invite NFL, MLB, or NHL players or NASCAR drivers, Jones challenged one of their wrestlers to a fight in another company. Why would the WWE want to give promotional time or attention to Jones when they don't stand to gain? I'm sure that's the rationale Jones heard, but I don't think this instance is as worthy of scorn or a reason to point at WWE and say how stupid they are as the other actually dumb things they do.

Evolve's booking is secretly a mess. They run one weekend a month, and their matches don't build. They start the feud after the first match, which makes some sense since they put a heavy emphasis on in-ring quality, but their small roster means that it's hard to actually separate wrestlers to make the matches feel meaningful.

Also, the shows at La Boom are usually hot. Joppa, Maryland or the Florida shows, not so much.

EVOLVE booking was good for like, a few months last year?

Now its just a total clusterfuck. The WWN title was a mistake.

As much as I love Suzuki, real ass 96 Austin would WHAM hit him with that Stone Cold Stunner. Then he's got them BEADY LITTLE EYEEEEEES staring up at them lights for the 1. 2. 3.

Suzuki would reverse it into a sleeper 9 out of 10 times.
One Gotch Piledriver and Suzuki finishes what Owen couldn't

The WWN title hasn't helped, but I don't think anyone was thrilled with Thatcher vs. Catch Point last year. They have little stories, but there isn't a guiding line. And I look at how awkward Keith Lee's build has been as an example.

All Western promotions seem to have a serious issue with long term booking, most of revolves around small, unimpactful mini feuds and FOTM matchups. OTT is really guilty of this recently as well, which is super disappointing. I think CWF Mid Atlantic is the only exception .
 
That Trump speech:

"Both sides fault , now that's talk about me"

I can't handle this shit anymore. I'm legit worried for my friends/co-workers who are POC every time this shit happens. I don't even know how to support them beyond just letting them talk/yell about it and listening.
 
I've been in a state of shock since they came out with torches last night and the hole just gets dug deeper.

Been mapping out plans to sell my share of my business and leave this place.

My friend I could not do it, I could not look at him standing there talking.
I get aggro.
You have more patience than I

Keep protesting. Keep calling representatives to investigate 45. Fax politicians' offices when they want to vote to kill people by depriving them of healthcare. Run for office, even if it's local shit like school boards. Donate time or money to organizations like ACLU. Shoot the double or just plain pretend you're Sin Cara in the locker room when you see Nazis and fascists.

Find something and keep doing it. They win when you stop.

1 person dead and 19 injured, but Trump talks about jobs....

But the driver was scared!

Dude just walked away as journalists asks him about condemning his nazi base.

Dude was late for lunch

  1. Make a circle with your thumb and forefinger
  2. Wave it up and down at your side
  3. Say "we're having tremendous successes" and generally exaggerate/fabricate your accomplishments
  4. ???
  5. Bigly
Congratulations you are now as good at public speaking as the POTUS
