And goddamn it, The Duke of Dorchester died! 🤼

I'll also never get how, in booking 2-3 supposed joint PPVs with New Japan a year, they never, ever seem to be aware of when NJPW's tournaments happen. 🤼

The way things are shaping up, someone needs to write "NO RACISTS ALLOWED" on the Forbidden Door as a precaution this year, so CMLL doesn't try to send Tessa. TK's new boss would probably love that. 🤼

I don't say it a lot because people are sentimental about him still and he partners up with a few people we do like, but Mark Briscoe (still) kinda sucks, y'all. Super evangelical guy who occasionally has a whoopsie and says something super racist on TV, and people are OK with this? 🤼

This match is Speedball erasure, and I won't be a party to it. 🤼

Beavis' monologue in this is me talking about watching Mercedes/Hazuki on current AEW programming. 🤼

At this rate, the mystery partners are all going to be Pro Wrestling Eve producers. 🤼

"Showing off for his new boss" again. 🤼

Just what this show needed, more Jon Moxley. Has he been texting with Kevin Nash or something? Jesus fuck. 🤼

He's gardening, you knob! 🤼

A lot of the direction of main event scene of this promotion continues to feel like it's because David Ellison is, as Tony Khan said, a guy who watches wrestling, but he's the kind of American pro wrestling fan most of us hate. 🤼

I can't even be that happy to see Prince Nana right now because he's in there with this dipshit. 🤼

And now they've got this asshole wasting TV time with his cheeky Nandos and whatever 🤼

One of the best matches ever on Dynamite. 🤼

Mercedes needs an ice pack on the left side of her face for like a week at this point. She got pasted pretty good. 🤼

If you didn't see the NJPW Hazuki/Mercedes match, the vibe of this match is a lot like that one. That was the first match Mercedes did post-WWE that really felt great. It was fucking rugged. Look into tracking it down if you haven't seen it. 🤼

So I'll say it, I get why they'd do it right now, for a couple of reasons, one of them pretty poignant, but if they have Maya go over Athena, effectively leapfrogging Billie's whole years-long thing, that's not gonna be great. 🤼

Mercedes: "Who wants to see a body slam?" 🤼

Did Hazuki potato the living hell out of Mercedes in like the first minute of the match? 🤼

...at least they gave them the top of the hour. 🤼

Bandido is also really good at pro wrestling. 🤼

Here's how you know Thekla's good at pro wrestling: when she talks about shitting in another wrestler's mask, I BELIEVE THAT SHE'D DO IT. That's some Terry Funk shit right there. 🤼

Thekla's gonna poo in Starlight Kid's mask! We're talking a lot about this kind of thing tonight in promos! Jizz, poo, what else we got? 🤼

They should've let Christian talk more about Fit Finlay's jism instead of giving Cope the mic. 🤼

When Christian Cage is right, he's right. 🤼

Stop trying to get Please Retire to be on TV, Ciampa. 🤼

The only thing I wanna hear from The Dogs is Finlay saying "I've made a horrible mistake, I'm going to work with my dad now. Thekla, you can have him. Gabe, fuck off, go start a tag team with Chase Owens called Nobody Fucking Cares." 🤼

I don't wanna hear from the Dogs! Or the Death Riders! Fuck off outta here with these bouncers at a Nickelback show motherfuckers! 🤼

YOU LEAVE ISHII ALONE YOU MEANIES #HotIshiiSummerForever 🤼

Oh thank fuck. After the bullshit with Shane and his friends being brought in to be "elevated" by eating like 3 pins, I was pretty nervous that Brodido were gonna lose here. 🤼

First butt stuff, now the barking? Next thing, she'll start ending her words with "-hausen" as a direct challenge to the trademark lawyers! 🤼

Taz, I don't mean to kink-shame, but yeah, I'm going to kink-shame about you wanting to see Mox dance. 🤼

Hey, it's these fellas. KICK THEIR ASSES, BRODIDO! 🤼

Hey, it's Captain Romper Stomper, the Butt Stuff Colonizer and poor Daniel Garcia, their hostage. 🤼

Wow, they're really putting Mercedes in the 9:30 spot, aren't they? 🤼

No, I don't wanna hear from The Dogs. Don't take me back to when they did a thing. Just free Clark up to be Thekla's foot stool already. 🤼

Hey, it's Big Teets and Mikey Nicholls! Also: ZSJ! 🤼

Tony Nese on Dynamite? In this economy? 🤼

Daylight sucks.

I knew that title match at Dominion got cut short. Lotta rough landings. Here's to a quick and full recovery for Callum Newman so he can (safely) get back to having the most punchable face (kayfabe) in pro wrestling in time for the G1 (I guess). Not a fan AT ALL, but injuries suck. 🤼

Night Flight Pro Tip: Bloody Pit of Horror is on NF2 tomorrow at 10:02 AM. Solid mid-morning movie! 📽️

Migraine's mostly gone, but the worker outside my window's singing gospel again and he's not great at it. Noise-cancelling headphones on. What am I gonna listen to, y'all? (I covered Madonna pretty well last night, so not Madonna, but I'm open to other things within my usual range.)

Goddamn it, Octaman is on Night Flight during my support group today.

Still listening to Madonna, but definitely skipping songs past the first 2 albums. "O Father" is a wild fucking song.

8 out of the last 9 posts on Blueski about Dicky Lovelady have been from me, apparently.

Pre-SixApart LiveJournal.

If you're a baseball card collector, I highly recommend the cards of Pete Vuckovich, Dennis Lamp and Dick Tidrow, just because all three of them look so fuckin' cool on their cards.

I totally forgot about Pownce.

Listening to this intentionally for the first time in probably 43 years. After I saw the "Burning Up" video, my cousin (who wasn't usually on top of this stuff) had the tape, and there was one day we listened to it a bunch of times. I haven't done the whole thing by choice since.
