Pro wrestling history belongs to wrestlers and wrestling fans. It does not belong to corporations.
#AEW references events from other companies that happened decades ago.

Yes, you can criticize wrestling/wrestlers (even if you've never been in the ring! Don't let anyone say otherwise). But: - Back up your thoughts - Act in good faith - Punch up, not down - Don't be a jerk - Don't bully; don't let yourself get bullied; don't let others be bullied.

Correctly seeing Avengers as a liberal fighting forcing and then going β€œwell at least fascism is an ethos”
Trevor Noah argues the Avengers are actually the bad guys β€œThe Avengers is the perfect allegory for the Democrats in America.” β€œThey like to fight against the bad guy, but they do not like to do anything to prevent bad guyness from happening again.” β€œThey’re not willing to sacrifice anything to prevent it from happening.” β€œAt least Thanos had a vision… He was willing to sacrifice something.”

This is the type of angle that should put Bandido in the main event scene after Full Gear

As a cis male fan, I can’t explain how boring it is for 90% of commentators to be middle aged (or even older) white men. You hear it when they call women’s matches, when they have lost interest, when they don’t take it seriously because they have the job on lock forever.
Had this talk last night, but right now I’m the ONLY non-male voice doing English language commentary for a major promotion And no one on TV. No one contracted. That needs to change I have huge goals & will achieve them - even if I have to smash through the door. And once it’s open it’s STAYING OPEN for whoever else deserves the opportunity

No one is denying the holocaust. 27m people died. 6m of which were Jews. Never again however means never again and that includes the genocide in Gaza.
LOOK AT THEM. AND THEN DARE TO DENY THE HOLOCAUST. Look at their bones. Their bare feet in the freezing snow. Their bodies starved almost beyond recognition. They were human beings. They had mothers, fathers, children, dreams, and names. The Nazis tried to erase every trace of their existence. SIX MILLION JEWS WERE MURDERED. SIX MILLION. And today, there are people who have the audacity to deny it, minimize it, justify it, or call it a fabrication. HOW DARE YOU? How dare you look at the mountains of evidence, the mass graves, the gas chambers, the testimonies of survivors, and the records left by the murderers themselvesβ€”and still deny what happened? Holocaust denial is not an alternative historical opinion. It is an assault on truth and a second act of cruelty against the victims. I am a Muslim. I am not Jewish. But I refuse to stand silently while the suffering of the Jewish people is mocked, erased, or rewritten. And to those who chant "Never Again" while making excuses for antisemitism today: Your selective humanity is a disgrace. These victims cannot rise from their graves to defend themselves. BUT WE CAN DEFEND THEIR MEMORY. Never Again must mean something when Jews are threatened today, not merely when we commemorate those murdered yesterday. I stand with the Jewish people. Unapologetically. Unconditionally against antisemitism. YOU CAN DENY HISTORY. YOU CANNOT ERASE THE DEAD.

β€œExposes the business” as a term is dumb and outdated. There is nothing to β€œexpose.” There isn’t a single person alive over the age of 9 who thinks wrestling is real. If you want to say it breaks narrative immersion, then say that.
Rob Van Dam: "If the setup for a move you want to do in the ring takes so long that it kills the whole match and kills the feeling of competition, then don’t do it because it exposes the business." Read more at nodq.com/news/rob-van-dam-on…

As an aside Lizard Man Nathan Nile isn’t on here but he’s the most underrated wrestler I’ve ever seen. He can high fly with the best of them AND his mat work is some of the best I’ve seen on the indies. instagram.com/reel/DeJe-ZPh9…
I tried to come up with a Midwest Indie Supercard based on a lot of the advice Evil Uno and others have stated. If you’re a fan in the Midwest indie scene, let me know how I did.

Supporting your local independents, sometimes goes beyond buying a ticket, talking about the shows, the matches you enjoyed, the stories you're invested in, the people you meet. It all helps,word of mouth is worth its weight in gold

Trying to fit in match styles I enjoy, keeping a card to 8 matches (ok 9), wrestlers I love, mostly local-ish talent limiting fly ins. Almost everyone here I’ve had the privilege of seeing live, they’re all excellent. Charity King is the only one I haven’t seen before.
