The grift is so transparent for maximum emotional response - mark my words, when the sea change occurs in the political climate so will Megyn Kelly and we can collectively tell her to kick rocks when she finds the need for performative redemption

This content is not worth your time
Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

Found this to be a fascinating look into a figure that isn't lost to history, but his significance is downplayed

From the most star-studded dojo class in '84, to becoming New Japan's biggest draw throughout the '90s, and on the wrong end of Inoki's decisions
