There's this interesting thing that happens when you first see joshi wrestling in America where you think it's kind of gentle or slow. But once you start watching joshi wrestling you realize it's because wrestling is teamwork and American wrestlers struggle to keep up with the pace and innovation π€Ό

I know he's ridiculously over in Japan and maybe there are elements I don't get as an American but I'm not exaggerating when I say Danshoku Dino singlehandedly ruins every DDT show for me and that's the main reason I haven't been able to get into it π€Ό
LITERALLY THEY ARE A FREAK OF NATURE HOW IS HE MOVING LIKE THAT THREE DAYS AFTER THAT ILJA MATCH #AEWCollision
Rewatching the Ilja-Speedball match from Wednesday and yes Ilja is 1000% as advertised but more should be said about what a generational talent Speedball is. No one does the shit they do, no one sells like they do, a strong case could be made that Speedball is the heart of AEW
The Bang Bang Gang The Last Outfit The LO The LOGang TONY KHAN IS TELLING US SOMETHING Y'ALL!!!!1!!! #AEWCollision
Hey so The last outfit is a comically bad name, right? Who did Jay White piss off??? #AEWCollision
So if Speedball and Ilja form a tag team in AEW...would they be Dragunball? π€Ό

I genuinely believe that if the lighting and cameras were worse on #ROH people's main takeaway would be that it feels the way it used to pre-AEW. I just think it's too associated with its indie roots as a brand and the high quality presentation feels deeply at odds with that. #WatchROH
So I'll stay sober Or at least smoke a little less weed If you'll live closer to me so I can still sleep at your house When it's cold and it's dark outside I've never slept that well in my whole life And its nice to not have to try sometimes
I guess it has been a minute since I held up my end of the "tolerate wrestling content, get gym thirst traps" deal
Vibes for tonight π

10 minutes in Ilja starts talking about how his culture influences his wrestling in the same way that human suffering influenced Dostoyevsky and yeah man, sign me the fuck up for this guy in AEW
Autocorrect really fucked me on that Dostoevsky spelling smh
Issue #5: Off The Clock is out now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube! The Underdogs face Thunderstrike, one of the superheroes from the Ivory Tower. If that wasn't bad enough, he's also Tadai's DAD! Will the team be able to keep the 100 foot dinosaur named Mathew Broderick out of sight?
HYO IN SUPER JR TAG LEAGUE LET'S FUCKIN GO π€Ό
The end is near
π« TONIGHT, 8PM EST - You know it! You LOVE it! Itβs #HouseOfStarfall Night, yβall! It's been a few weeks since the Starfall siblings returned to Earth, but now a new threat looms on the horizon: the Stephen Sagan High School homecoming dance. π³ #Twitch: twitch.tv/highshelfcol... #TTRPG #gaming
Fuck you fall I'm gonna beat you at your own fucking game you crisp bitch
AEW gave me a cassette tape too, but it was just Ace Austin slapping his own thighs for 20 minutes
AEW gave me a cassette tape too, but it was just Mercedes MonΓ© laughing for 2 hours
Finally watching #AEWWrestleDream I've seen enough, put the tag belts on Julia Hart and Skye Blue
Mmmm I don't think India Sioux got the memo to sell that like a codebreaker lol #CMLL
I've always said Neo Genesis are the real mean girls of Stardom but damn Kevin is a born heel wrestler #CMLL π€Ό

A little reminder from bakuge sentai boonboomger for the timeline today
This is in reference to her beating a refrigerator monster with tire chains btw
Is Ilja the first wrestler to openly let his WWE contract expire specifically so that he can go to AEW? Like I can't remember hearing news stories for anyone else about how the fed was interested in keeping them but they chose to let their contract run out instead.
Finally found the ideal cadence for me in terms of exercise, I think M/W/F: Lift for about 1.5-2 hours rotating upper body and lower body M-Sat: 40ish minutes of cardio, usually jumping rope Throw in the occasional Saturday ruck. Sunday is full rest day. Just have to keep it up through winter π
There is Evil Uno everywhere for those with the eyes to see π€Ό
Evil Uno is everywhere
Probably gonna take another break and deactivate tomorrow for a bit, so if you stop seeing me just know I didn't block you
even on the first match of a random show Dragongate will still show you some shit you've never seen before π€Ό
It's impossible to know what's happening behind the scenes in wrestling, but from the outside it sure does look like the fed was done with Carmelo until he teased leaving and got the biggest name in AEW to post a picture of the two of them from the indies, then suddenly he's getting TV time again π€Ό
In Baltimore we have the crab rangoon egg roll hot dog, which is an egg roll filled with crab rangoon split open as the bun, then a glizzy topped with crab meat and herb slaw
bsky. tell me about your regional hot dog and what goes on it.
Look say what you want about Max Caster for being an edgelord but clowning on the man when it looks pretty clear TNA did him so fucking dirty is not the move imo. They posted the clip everywhere, we really think they'd do that if he went out there and said some shit they told him not to say? π€Ό
Love 2 be in that awful mid-atlantic phase where it's getting dark early enough that the seasonal affective disorder starts to kick in but it's still too hot to embrace cute sweaters and hats and shit

I started Boonboomger last night and while I'm into it so far the "BOOM BOOM BOOM" of it all is...a lot
Who do I know in the TTRPG space who loves Kamen Rider π
Hook has new entrance music, which sadly means there is officially nothing interesting left about Hook #WatchROH #ROH
Politics in the rest of the world makes me feel insane because what do you mean I'm reading about a Japanese wrestler and politician whose party is labeled conservative and right-leaning and when I look them up they support LGBTQ protection, same sex marriage, and universal basic income π
Generally I think "fuck the fed" posting is a waste of my energy but AEW put on the best tribute episode of all time for PAC, Dragongate opened a show with a 10 bell and sharing stories before the veteran stable came out to his entrance music WWE gave him a graphic and a video they didn't even make
These are the three promotions PAC was most associated with during his career. Even RevPro did a 10 bell. If PWG still existed you know they would have done something. So yeah, it's fuck the fed. Sorry about it. I don't care about your childhood, call me when they clear the lowest bar of humanity.
I would love to see NJPW commit to Oiwa as The Guy. This MJF match feels like it could lead there, I just hope we're not building to Tsuji vs MJF at WK. I'd love to see that match but it would suck so much if they pull the rug from under the first G1 winner people are legit hype about since Ibushi π€Ό

I don't think Hanger watched a single second of that match lmao #AEW
Lmao I can't tell if the crowd thought Bandido was Andrade and chanted "how you know" or if they were chanting "Bandido" with French accents #AEW
