I’ll be in Miami in a couple weeks talking about art and pro wrestling. I’ll also have some art displayed alongside Thekla’s amazing work that same week. gametimesessions.com

If you're curious about how many pro wrestling sites have covered Liv Morgan being pretty racist in her promo, the answer is zero. Relatedly, she said she now gets to say whatever she wants on tv. Oh really? www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/liv...

Whoa, this ITR Wrestling "transcript" of the Liv Morgan promo has been sanitized to remove the racist parts. Notice the edits. "I’m sorry that I had the best of the best while you grew up wrestling in poorly infested rings for 10 years." itrwrestling.com/news/liv-mor...

WWE consistently has tv shows without any women's wrestling. Meanwhile, AEW's viewership with women is way up, particularly teen girls. I'm sure those are unrelated.

So the ESPN/WWE Partnership seems to be going great when the official ESPN TikTok is posting videos like this saying sign this man… and it’s Vikingo who’s already signed to The Fed 😂🤣 #Wrestlesky

The Dynamite card (2 AEW world title matches, Moxley, Darby+Orange, Inspiration debut) is better than Elimination Chamber, which I only point out because WWE decided to blame ESPN's app for no one watching.

Is this true? I don't remember anyone other than Danhausen cheering his merch sales in AEW and/or they were the annoying CM Punk fans who are thankfully gone now.

There is way too much slop floating around blueksy lately. David Robinson was *very famously* too tall to be commissioned by the Navy, which is why he served his two years in the Reserve instead.

This lame angle becoming a shoot as the white wrestlers hate on the Black champion is so perfectly WWE. The MAGA always oozes out.

WWE gave Will Hobbs a huge Royal Rumble debut with a new name, he did the "this is my dream" video with Triple H, but then his real age came out, and now they dont even have any plans for him at all?? Something is amiss.

I went to an event in DC where Jake Tapper cried about the 13 service members killed at Abbey Gate & his anger at the govt for letting it happen. For some reason, those deaths are acceptable under a Republican president.

Unless the plan is a full-throated apology, it's not going to work.

It's unsettling how Republicans are so unbothered that (at least) 6 US service members were killed. No sympathy, no concern, no nothing. Disgraceful, if unsurprising.

TIL we've been at war with Iran my entire life.

The astroturfed "WWE is heating up!" campaign has begun, as they try to salvage WrestleMania. Thats why theyre doing "shoot" angles & having talent say offensive things in promos. Get that heat, bro.

The administration starting a war in the Middle East & leaving US citizens in the region to fend for themselves is abhorrent. Deplorable, even. This will only get worse before it gets better.

A shortage of large passenger charter planes due to DHS paying 10x the usual rates to ferry kidnapped migrants is threatening NCAA Tournament travel plans

AEW just announced Jon Moxley vs Hechicero for Dynamite.

GW‘s student newspaper appears to have broken the story that the institution has sold a satellite campus to Amazon to be turned into a data center, which is just about chef’s kiss for the state of American higher education rn

Just wanted you guys to see “Riding in a golf cart fatly”

WWE's headline-pulling video style has gotten out of hand cause this is a story from over 3 years ago that has nothing to do with his WWE debut. it's just a story about Danhausen that happened once

The dorks just yelling "BUT A SALARY FLOOR WOULD BE SO GOOD" need to dig a trench with their face.

Revolution feels 100x bigger than WrestleMania right now & both promotions know it.

After the all-hands, it came out WWE wanted to focus on Jade Cargill for WrestleMania but didnt know how. Triple H is so cooked he's trying a Vince Russo "is this a shoot?" angle. He should stick to ripping off Tony Khan's ideas.

He called them the enemy of the people. Multiple times. And they loved it.

This mural slaps. Literally turned around so I could get a picture.

I was a $9.99 WWE Network subscriber from 2014-2021. I currently subscribe to ESPN Unlimited. I have accessed WWE content via ESPN Unlimited exactly ZERO TIMES.

"The war will make the Epstein files go away" takes didnt have much of a shelf life.

"It has come to my attention that I reposted someone else’s story that does not reflect my personal beliefs" does she have CTE?

This is pure denial from WWE. Their fans would've gladly paid the $30/month (or twice that) two years at this time. Nothing will change until they admit the product is cold.

"How WWE made its fascinating Danhausen mission that much harder" This NY Post headline is a wonder. What an incredible way to say the debut flopped.

Looking at Trump's weird rash reminds me that the Pacers said Tyrese Hailburton got shingles while in DC. Also, our city's water is mostly poop now. Good times.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is something I said when an episode of How I Met Your Mother ended in 2010. It is not something our Secretary of Defense should ever say. It just always gets dumber.

maybe the most concise 2-sentence summary possible of the entire decade-plus Trump Experience

Danhausen might be it for Triple H. For the 1st time, WWE sources telling media friends, "That was 100% his idea" as something failed. Usually they close ranks, ie let it play out, it's a new era, crowd was tired, hey I liked it, etc

Sure, we can bet on war & death, but can we bet on when The Rock takes over WWE? Because id like to wager on this May.

ESPN never planned on airing WWE ppv replays on the mothership a few weeks later. The rating is immaterial, even if it's hilariously bad. The Royal Rumble on a Sunday night was panic marketing. We've all been there, throwing stuff at the wall. Free hour! Free replay! Please watch, oh God please...

"Broadcasting matches of that caliber for free this year is the best advertisement WWE can get.. it just might entice those individuals without access to ESPN Unlimited to pay up to watch the entire show." Why is Awful Announcing acting like ESPN invented the wheel? This is AEW Tailgate Brawl.

"even as officials declined to offer a timeline and cautioned they expected more U.S. casualties" Why lead with what the Pentagon says, when the second half of your first sentence disproves it? This would get an F in any journalism school, which I assume do not exist anymore.

Picking up trash in the blocks around the Alex Pretti memorial this morning and found two munitions thawing out of the snow

This is military speak for the Commander-in-Chief told us to do something really stupid, it sucks & many more people are going to die. I try to be optimistic, but this is not good.

Things are probably not going well when the President is calling up Fox News hosts to confirm that yes, there is a plan for the war he started. Oh good, I feel better, he said there's a plan folks.

This explains why I hadnt seen any talk about how the Royal Rumble replay did on ESPN: more people watched Collision last wknd.

I know it's the least important thing right now, but how tf is the US going to host a World Cup in 3 months?? FIFA probably needs to do more than "monitor" the situation.

They refused to even investigate the murders of Renee Good & Alex Pretti. Fuck this loser.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

The WH reporter for the NYT thinks “that’s the way it is” = expressing condolences. 😳

It cannot be overstated how ESPN wanted to start with WrestleMania, but WWE suckered them into starting early to mess with AEW. Instead, it's been 6 months of bad shows leading into the coldest WrestleMania in 8 years, while AEW is on fire. Woof.

The mainstream media is operating like it's 2003 & Americans support U.S. military action, when the literal opposite is true. There is no 9/11 bloodlust. No one is fooled. We do not want this.
