It’s incredible how much I prefer my vacation life to my work life, the gap is so large you could drive my terrible work attitude through it

Streaming behind the paywall now, Josh + Mike stayed up late, and now their Wrestle Kingdom 20 review is up. 90 minutes going through the show and making NJPW predictions for 2026. Get this episode, get entry into the discord, and get every bonus episode: www.patreon.com/posts/147425...

Kazuchika Okada had to become the Rainmaker one more time to put Hiroshi Tanahashi away. Pro wrestling perfection. The stuff that makes you feel.

The debut of Aaron Wolf at Wrestle Kingdom really couldn’t have gone any better. I’m so fired up. He fucking rules, and massive credit to EVIL, went out of his way to give him everything.

Real Wrestle Kingdom 20 hours

Getting together with a bunch of my friends to order in bad food and watch Japanese pro wrestling in the dead of night is the best tradition I have going. Cannot wait for WrestleKingdom tonight.

Enjoying my last Friday walking an earth where Hiroshi Tanahashi is still an active wrestler. Breathing in this air, enjoying the way things are, before there is no more Ace of the Universe.

You did it Willow Nightingale!!!

Favourite stuff of the year 2025

You simply need to sign up for the Blocked Party Patreon to hear how angry John got when I said the Grinch is having a better Christmas 2026 than Santa. It really was the most insane argument in show history. And it lasted for like 20 minutes.

Stefan had a take that was somehow more controversial than "sauce and cheese are toppings" and we go to war over it on this one

I always love going on Blocked Party, but this one is especially good. John and Stefan help me figure out why I was blocked by a Howard Stern Show legend, and then they erupted into an enormous argument about who was more over: Santa Claus, or The Grinch.

The untouchable @mattymac.bsky.social made me this repro of the old AJPW Fan Club tote bag. I will never go to the grocery store without it again

Behind the paywall this morning: it’s Mike and I previewing this weekends WrestleKingdom 20 card. The card itself is divisive, but we all agree, Hiroshi Tanahashi retiring is a massive deal. Get the bonus episodes, and into the discord, right here www.patreon.com/posts/146948...

I loved Marty Supreme for a few reasons, but mainly I really enjoyed diving into the subculture of table tennis. It felt like wrestling to me, no one’s a fan, and then you enter the zones where it’s happening and it’s the wildest shit you’ve ever seen. I also like Timothée Chalamet again. Good movie

After the upcoming Bandido defence, if they want this MJF run to work, they’ve gotta rush, sprint and hurry to him vs Eddie Kingston

Jon Moxley has done it all this year. Been hated (bad) been hated (good) and now beloved as he wins the best tournament going. The ace of AEW.

FREE level patrons: the AEW Worlds End Pick Em sheet is now open. Go perfect, and win the first of ten FABRIC Wrestling Brain stickers and prove you’re a genious: www.patreon.com/posts/146725...

AEW Worlds End happening on the Saturday in between Christmas and New Years is perfect for me. I barely know what time it is, I’m buried in leftovers, and there’s a killer looking ppv tonight

Getting gifted the Paris, Texas criterion and a pack of pre rolls in the same bag, my sister knows ball

Couple drinks,

My cousin is dating a guy who loves to talk about how he wears shorts year round, even when it’s cold, truly one of the worst flexes a person can have

It’s incredible how quickly I can transform from productive member of society into the laziest piece of shit in the world within 24 hours or less during the holidays

tonight on the Meltdown stream its a special one - it's Uncle Loudy's Loud Loudmas. A christmas themed spectacular with special guests curated by Uncle Loudy himself. 9 pm central don't miss it. Set a reminder!

Going to join in on the time honored Christmas tradition of getting extremely drunk with your friends this evening

I hate when people say stuff like “you gotta see the new avatar movie” to me

I can’t believe MJF has been back for one segment and I already feel tired of him

It’s always fun to get to talk about The White Stripes, or the wonderful game of pinball, so obviously I had a good time guesting here and talking about both those things

Ryan and @wrestlingbrain.net go bowling downtown at The Red Door this week discussing the White Stripes' song about pinball and losing your gal to Mr. Clean. Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/YKlHG1-KUCE?...

Peppermint is a good flavor, I’m always happy to see it get a little runway this time of year

Looking at my Greatest of all Time list and seeing if there’s anything above the top spot so I can move Mick Foley even higher

Oh my god

When it happens, I’m going to drink 1000 beers and kindly request that the bar puts on Princess Bride

I love a Friday night in December, you know I’m smoking on that Fred Claus

Seeing the street fighter movie to support Hirooki Goto but turning my head when Roman Reigns and Cody show up.

Leaving the dentist and seeing the dentist offer a child a free toothbrush, but, it’s the worst, cheapest looking toothbrush I’ve ever seen. Mixed messaging here doc

All I need from The Game Awards tonight is for Hideo Kojima to explain what the fuck OD is

Samoa Joe vs Eddie Kingston tonight, which is a massive match for me and people with my exact personality type

As all of these media outfits increasingly become one giant company I feels smugger and smugger about being a physical media guy
