I periodically look at what people are trying to find in the lost media community, and there's been one that I've been thinking about recently: Slamfest '99. More info at lostmediawiki.com/Slamfest_%27... (1/x)

hahahahahahaha

I organized this year's @voicesofwrestling.com poll for the Best Match & Show from WrestleMania week! Check it out at www.voicesofwrestling.com/2026/04/28/v....

New ProWres Paradise with thoughts on all the stuff I've been watching in prep for my Greatest Wrestler Ever 2026 ballot! Digging deep on people who will join my list, those who might drop and plenty of match recs along the way. @pwtorch.bsky.social vip.pwtorch.com/2026/04/25/v...

Blaming Dave Meltzer for hypothetical Brodie Lee Jr harassers is like blaming Jodie Foster for John Hinckley Jr.

Every lifelong nondenominational I've ever met is like "I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people" and every adult convert is like "Babbie Mason's epistle on the Power Team rites of Larry the Cucumber clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses."

Something instead of nothing

People are getting mad at this but maybe those kids' wishes were "Help improve WWE's second quarter revenue." www.fightful.com/wrestling/ni...

They at least nearly set a record for the gate, have PR bragging about more marketing partners than ever before, and got a $6 mill site fee. The Make-a-Wish payment is 0.04% of the site fee alone. Take the write off and PR!

The worst part of this is this very large company did this for $2500. They’re picking up nickels!

This may be a strong take, but I don't care who hears it: the Death Riders have not had proper training on how to handle someone after a potential neck injury.

Will Ospreay:

The irony is that these NXT bullies that Conrad are talking about are FAR more likely to hear Dave's comments with Conrad whining about them than they ever would if Conrad said nothing. Conrad is a blight on the industry and we'd all be much better off if we never heard from him ever again.

I would like to apologize in advance to the leader of the angry mob for making a comparison, the worst thing one can do. You at least did not build a podcast network to monetize your hatred of the Monster and I hope I did not imply that.

Hector was kind enough to let me work through my TNA related guilt.

man if I was contacted for comment Wednesday afternoon, I'd announce I was missing more than the 3rd day of the draft for emergency counseling

The "strongly oppose" coalition of "oh is there a sportsball" libs and "Bud Light tried to turn me gay" cons. For real, pandering to sports fans instead of franchise owners could be the best way to smuggle class solidarity into American politics. Gotta actually commit to it though

(1) Money. They have it. (2) Wrestling. Tony cares about it. (3) WWE as owned by Endeavor is just assets. Companies like that sell assets all the time. It absolutely could be to Khan. This is not about a "war" to Endeavor. If they ever want to sell and Khan can make the best offer, sure.

WWE as you and I have always known it is less secure than ever with that type of corporate ownership. It is a brand name, it is archives, it is assets, it is not "protected" by any sentimentality or the like anymore. The people who own it don't actually care about it beyond the money it generates.

This Senate hearing has started. Nick Khan is scheduled to testify about the revisions to the Ali Act that the House has already passed. www.commerce.senate.gov/meetings/ret...

We’re gonna win

A lot about the world is very heavy right now but if a college football podcast that got jettisoned by Vox during the pandemic for not having a marketable audience can raise this much money for refugees in Atlanta in two days then just think of all the stuff we can all do together

I don’t know what to tell you, some wrestlers are just employed.

The ACTION Mania week show may have the worst sound of any indie show I've ever watched.

UFC Broadcasters Look Like It

So, my immigration folks may not know this, but there’s this MASSIVE annual fundraiser in which people donate to New American Pathways — a refugee-resettlement org turned immigrant-serving org — for the greater glory of college sports (or, if you prefer, Protect Trans Kids University).

I count 19 visible fans. This show had 32 workers, barring someone with multiple gimmicks I missed, but not counting non-wrestlers.

Dudes rock

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
