Apart from Vince McMahon, Ted Turner is the most influential figure of the last 50 years of wrestling. He was Vince's opposite, chaotic good to his chaotic evil: Southern, liberal, Incredibly successful at a million ventures outside of wrestling. No wonder Vince hated him.

The Kazusada Higuchi news is a real bummer. Just a total DUDE of a pro wrestler retiring way too early.

Dusty has been on the horn with leprechauns

Music of the Mat Remix: Money Marks We've hit up the ATM and spared no expense, as @justandrew.bsky.social and @richlatta.bsky.social play songs about money. redcircle.com/shows/music-...

The Smiling Friends news is such a major bummer. That show's been a real bright spot these past few years and to see it end so unceremoniously really sucks, especially since it had gotten renewed for two more seasons.

With all the people talking about the 2025 Observer Awards, I went back and looked at the 1990 ones and what we can learn from them. Some lessons, some laughs, and the most fun I've had writing in a while. www.patreon.com/posts/fire-b...

Kenny vs. Swerve: Pretty dang great!

Music of the Mat Remix: Main Eventers Main eventers are tasked with ending wrestling shows on a strong note, and the same goes for songs that are last on an album. @justandrew.bsky.social and @jojoruns.bsky.social play some of their favorite album closers. redcircle.com/shows/music-...

Mistico joins the following as two time Flair/Thesz winners Ric Flair Mitsuharu Misawa Kenta Kobashi Chris Jericho John Cena Hiroshi Tanahashi AJ Styles Kenny Omega Jon Moxley Mistico won his prior Flair/Thesz in 2006, and that 19 year gap is by far the longest.

Fletcher vs. Ciampa was fantastic.

Knockout Brothers vs. Umino & Uemura was great stuff. The heavyweight tag division has been delivering the goods so far this year.

Music of the Mat Remix: Absolute Cinema On this episode inspired by wrestling fans praising the slightest thing as "absolute cinema," @justandrew.bsky.social and @paulwedding.bsky.social play songs from movies. redcircle.com/shows/music-...

My 2025 Match of the Year ballot for @voicesofwrestling.com

A little over 9 years ago, my pal @garrettkidney.bsky.social reviewed another "new era" episode of TNA Impact that was so bad, he quit the review partway through the show. The more things change... www.voicesofwrestling.com/2017/03/09/i...

Tanahashi's retirement overshadows all, but Tsuji and Takeshita had a really awesome match in the semi-main. I'm a sucker for the gunslinger spot (see: Danielson/Ospreay and Hangman/Ospreay) and they nailed that and the Boston crab finish perfectly. Not so awesome: Jake Lee as the next challenger.

WWE’s greatest enemy is genuine sincerity.

There will never be another Hiroshi Tanahashi. It was a pleasure to watch him wrestle all these years and go out on the highest note. Go Ace!

Hell yeah Willow!

Miyahara vs. Anzai was awesome. There's a jumping knee to the jaw that Anzai hits late in the match that popped me out of my seat.

On the day Vince McMahon resigned in 2022, Endeavor/now-TKO President Mark Shapiro privately anticipated he'd be back and possibly sell WWE. Liberty's Greg Maffei later called the merger “pre-wired.” In-depth update on the WWE shareholder lawsuit: www.postwrestling.com/2025/12/29/i...

Mox vs. Fletcher, welcome to the top ten.

Mox has been outstanding since losing the title, it's a shame we missed out on this version of him for all those months.

Christmas Collision was phenomenal, up there with Spring BreakThru Dynamite and Grand Slam Mexico for the best TV episodes of the year.

Music of the Mat Remix: A Taste of 2025 @justandrew.bsky.social and @maura.bsky.social say goodbye and good riddance to 2025 by playing some of their favorite music that came out during the year. redcircle.com/shows/music-...

AEW Dark Stocking Stuffer didn't disappoint

everyone mad on twitter about me being mean about WWE probably shouldn't read this one
