lmao I just realized I have bragging rights for life because of how big this little film nobody knew about got

Hey cool, awesome. Really cool that one little glitch can make *entire large parts of the internet* just stop working sometimes. This isn't remotely foreboding at all haha it's totally normal. economictimes.com/news/interna...

Crow Sting would've healed Julie

Friday on the channel... DISTORTED BLACK AND YELLOW. Mad Blankey are still considered one of the best units ever. Tozawa, YAMATO, Doi, Hulk, Uhaa, Fake Tanisaki, Kzy, Zombie Veterans, Mondai Ryu as a pet, what's not to love? (that's not rhetorical; the answer is Punch Tominaga.)

Keep thinking about how utterly diabolical the ending of that Masquerade reunion match was. Shun is still a heel, no matter what anyone says.

Occasionally I make stupid videos for my own amusement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiEu...

Dropped a new update for my Current Units video. This one takes out Mochizuki Dojo (Disbanded video coming soon), Psypatra is now a legitimate unit, and I have a better rip of the Gajadokuro theme. youtu.be/qAgZmBXPz0I

(big inhale) Ultimo Dragon Kid Lykos II Cold Scorpio Skye Blue Meanie is that anything

And here's why you never jump the gun in wrestling video essays. I had a whole video about Mone with my voiceover saying "12" and "a dozen" and she just won her 13th. Might go back and edit it in this style: youtu.be/TYtWTz3-7DY?...

🚨 Genki Horiguchi replaces Kota Minoura in King of Gate This is not a drill Genki Horiguchi replaces Kota Minoura in King of Gate 🚨

This is the most lore-heavy DG match in years. Gate of Nostalgia is non-canon so it's the only way they can get away with it. It's 5 years of backstory, so I'll try to explain why people are freaking out. Masquerade: Shun Skywalker/Dragon Dia/Kota Minoura vs R.E.D: Hyo/Diamante/Dia Inferno

BEEN SAYING THIS Put him in Love & Peace, come on, it'll be fun.

I'm still angry about this 5 years later: I had front row seats for Dead Can Dance with Agnes Obel in 2020. Covid canceled the tour. It'll never happen again; Brendan Perry has health issues and Lisa Gerrard has said DCD is likely over. This is my villain origin story. I will never forgive society.

Oh dang, Son of Sting is debuting for Defy? Really wish I could make that show next Friday, but I'm swamped with work. Good work, but still work.

How is there not an indie wrestler named Howie Dewitt who comes out to Montell Jordan's "This is How We Do It"? It just feels like something that should already exist. Fine, that's me if I'm ever an onscreen character in wrestling. I'm Howie Dewitt™.

The project I'm mixing is meant to invoke the feel of the seeing a weird dark fantasy/sci-fi movie with dodgy CGI in the 90s, but then it would have a crazy banger of a genre-spanning soundtrack with B-sides from bands you like, and all kinds of cool indie bands you've never heard of.

I don't know how they do it, but I could be in the most horrendous mood ever, and Not Hug would still put a smile on my face every single time they do their namesake bit. Truly one of the purest forms of slapstick.

Y'all clutching pearls about the women's B&G would lose your damn minds at my homie Tara Zep's deathmatches.

I may have to change from Mark Edits to Mark Produces because hooooo boy do I have a lot of production work stacked up right now and I'll never sleep on a proper schedule again

Whoever is booking Gate of Nostalgia is the funniest person alive.

The official Jeopardy Youtube account literally put out a Deez Nuts compilation. youtu.be/_3YVvnMFvXM

In addition to my Disbanded video on Friday, there's a bonus update to my Future roster video tomorrow to add 'Salaryman' Jiro Shinbashi. Shinbashi has been one of this year's most pleasant surprises. Reactions were mixed about Sugihara debuting as a comedy character, but he's won everybody over.

Just got reminded of a weird fan interaction. One guy commented on nearly every Vancouver indie show I produced, demanding we book his 2 favorite wrestlers: One hasn't wrestled outside of Toronto in 15 years, and one retired from injuries. The fan didn't live here, and wasn't coming to our shows.

I have a pet peeve with complicated famous names. F.W. de Klerk W.E.B Du Bois J. Kenji Lopez-Alt You need at *least* one less thing going on with your name.

I keep seeing people using my Ultimo Dragon video to 'prove' things about Mercedes. And look, do what you want, but at least mention the cinematic masterpiece that is the video's meta-plot of the Ultimo photo itself gradually becoming an eldritch horror that stalks me and takes over my life.

I may have screamed just a little when I saw this, ngl

One of the less popular units this week. -akatsuki- was more about telling a story and setting up a feud than the unit itself.

Ohhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiit Why did I have to sell my car, someone please give me a ride 😭

How your email finds me

Maybe my favorite shot from Exhuma (2024). Such a cool and interesting film. You have to read up on a bit of both Korean and Japanese mythology to fully get it, but it does a good job of explaining the basics.

Thinking about if Sting debuted 10 years later but still had the same dark personas based on goth pop culture of the times. Instead of The Crow we'd have full Hot Topic mallgoth Johnny the Homicidal Maniac Sting. Later on instead of Ledger's Joker, we could've had... oh god, Leto's Joker Sting.

The surprised reaction face used to be my big Youtube thumbnail pet peeve, but now it's the thumbnails that just show a person with an unlabeled yellow arrow pointing at a random spot. "Ooh, I gotta click on this video to see what that arrow could POSSIBLY be indicating!"

Carny indie promoters be like > Posts publicly, asking to DM if anyone still hasn't been paid > DMs are closed, account can't be messaged > Emails undeliverable/blocked/address deleted You're not supposed to tell on yourself THAT much.

I like when people who debuted in the 'E long after I stopped watching try to big league other promotions, because I'm just reading all this news like

So I'm technically a foley artist now too because I recorded Vancouver rain outside my front door for an atmospheric intro to a song I'm mixing.

A couple roster update videos coming soon. I need to update the Future and Outsiders videos. I'll also probably consolidate the two Toryumon veteran videos into one when I do a new 2026 edition of the DG primer.

DPW & Prestige both closing up shop. West Coast Pro is the third in that working relationship, so look for either a flood of titles into WCP or some unification matches.

For real though, man rotated 360° sideways

The circle of influence in music is so interesting. Gary Numan inspired Nine Inch Nails into existence. NIN's early 90s work then inspired Numan to reinvent his sound. Now his oldest daughter Raven just covered a NIN song. youtu.be/sfiqcDDcd70

It was brought to my attention that Kr*sty N*em ads were running on my Youtube videos, so I blocked the Politics category. Please let me know if you see anything like that again. I don't make much in ad revenue, but I have standards.

My brain, for no apparent reason, at random parts of the day:

I need Mercedes to put up at least one of her belts against Stat at Full Gear so I can drop a stupidly in-depth video about this storyline. Not quite as in-depth as the Ultimo video, but the same wheelhouse.

November release schedule for my Disbanded series: •7th: Millenials •14th: -akatsuki- •21st: Mad Blankey •28th: World-1 & World-1 International

Not me double-screening Meriken Pro and Ryukyu Dragon Pro at the same time like a true indie sicko

That RDPW show DG was mentioning last night is starting now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c26Z...

I'm not sure if I can watch the Naruki Doi 25th Anniversary PPV live tonight, but I definitely will soon because this card is bonkers.

In hindsight, I shouldn't have taken a coast to coast flight just before the DST change. Jetlag for 3 hours difference + another hour change a couple days later. I don't know how touring performers do this consistently.
