    That Players Tribune article by Darby about Sting is everything.

  3. definitely something that I'm sure New Japan doesn't want to hear a champion of their company to publicly admit

    Also, probably not smart to say when you have to go through customs a bunch over the next few months...

    Though, TIL about Japan

    ...rather surprisingly, inhaling solvent fumes is the second most common form of illicit drug use in Japan, after methamphetamines, and more popular than marijuana.

    No one ever accused Riddle of being smart.

    plz know i am aware Riddle is almost statistically guaranteed to be a perpetrator of sexual assault and that deal is a bigger deal forever: i like that he is at least eating his shit sandwich on more recent things with a smile in some spots and took something from the modern Randy Orton learning tree like "yeah that sucked of me" and he should keep doing it no matter where he works if he's gonna keep getting work

    NJPW are notorious for employing problematic American talent

    NJPW doesn't exactly great decisions sometimes.

    See: Mike Elgin

    nah, pretty sure a bunch of dudes getting hurt so ppl don't have to watch 10 more minutes of good wrestling is not a blessing. let us remember the CM Punk defense tweet we liked.

    some of today's takes include:
    - Matt Riddle is bad for admitting his cocaine problem because of the politics behind the nearly prestige-ridden fake fighting championship he has
    - good thing so many guys got hurt before the show we are excited for this weekend

    some days on the internet man

    anyways i spent 120 on 2k24 to get the wm40 arena i haven't seen yet and i can confirm it feels dumb

  18. lol I’m not happy those guys are hurt - the match itself seemed like a half baked idea that should be on dynamite

    really just a wild stretch there
     
  19. Like no one was happy that the wrestlers got sick but postponing and eventually canceling that sister Abigail vs demon match all those years ago was a blessing in disguise

    10 min wrestling match and we would have forgotten it by wed

    I went with the deluxe version even though being able to unlock the showcase mode stuff right away would be nice

    I’m usually the first one to dump on Drew, but I feel like his comments are being taken as malicious when they aren’t. It is a blessing in that people expected different/more names when the match was announced so it was already a bit disappointing. We aren’t missing out on much and a fun scramble as a replacement is pretty sweet. Meat Madness can easily be a fun Dynamite match when it happens.

    still not jiving w this at all, and I guarantee you we would have remembered the clusterfuck we got out of the original plans more than another good wrestling match and then someone wouldnt have been injured, too

    if and when meat madness happens it should be a cage match and they should call it the MEAT GRINDER

    I think I’m going to do the Deluxe. Waiting until the summer for all of the WM stuff has me not interested and I’m sure all of the stuff will be sold separately at some point.
