If you do the following at hardcore/punk shows
> Windmilling
> Mule kicking
> Attacking the circle
> Capoeira
You need to stop spiking people's drinks and gaslighting your partners.

Do you learn how to use emojis at wrestling journalism school or is it something that you learn on the job? Is there a special keyboard set-up that shortcuts them to the number pad? Is there a daily emoji quota?

Important Announcement.
Please do not connect my joy for Hirooki Goto with YOSHI-HASHI.
I feel no joy for YOSHI-HASHI. The only joy I have ever felt for YOSHI-HASHI is when he fell on his face whilst doing a run-in 7+ years ago. I have no need for YOSHI 'Take A Worm For A Walk' HASHI.
Thank You.

Konosuke/Oleg was good.
Yota/Kidd was great.
Goto/ZSJ, despite knowing the result in advance, had the tears in my eyes for the entrance and for the finish, and it was fucking great in between.
New Japan Professional Puroresu Pro Wrestling, when they can be arsed, are the absolute best at this. 🤼

Restarting/Resuming one of my favourite tweet threads here on Bluesky! Every now and then you come across a Tiktok that has a certain Vine energy. It's hard to describe but you know it when you see it.

Spent ages modding Fire Pro Wrestling World so that I can download 2500 wrestlers from the Steam Workshop & have them instantly organized into separate feds, only to find that I forgot to buy the Parts Craft DLC when it was on sale & now half the fucking wrestlers can't be used. Shit, piss and arse.

EXCELLENT THREAD. THE GOOD STUFF.
Let's revisit a Lineal Title.
The Lucha Underground Championship.
Went defunct in 2018, and we tracked it on The Bad Place a couple of years ago.

I'm gonna have to return to WrestleWipe sooner than I planned, I cannot just let everyone potter along and be happy. That's not in my nature. I've got to bring you all down to my level. Satisfaction is overrated.

I cannot think of a better commentary on the turnover of the WWE audience to a group of people that have no fundamental understanding of pro wrestling than this. They very clearly tried to work a fake shoot (or maybe even legit lost control momentarily) and it got zero reaction live or even online.
This is what I was talking about: Either CM Punk vs. Sami Zayn got out of control briefly, or, more likely, they worked a "this match broke down into a shoot" spot to play off of the public knowledge of their heat. And...nobody noticed?!?

If you edit the crawler and the show logo bug, all of the Pat McAfee Show guests’ entrances look like they’re working for IWA Mid-South.

Never let someone class the age of 30 as the magical line where people are old enough to give life advice. Most people in their 30's are still figuring everything out. You want the life advice from people who have made it to 60, at least. 🤌🏼
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

Both Rumbles really drilled home just how much the WWE Moment™ style is just the fucking pits. Yeah they had stars & a couple of stories but both Rumbles had wrestlers standing around and staring at each other whilst waiting for the clock to count down in lazy attempts to create tension & drama. 🤼
