When people complain about the heavy use of blood in AEW these days I can't help but think about how WWF homogenized and sanitized pro wrestling when it rose to prominence because pro wrestling pre-1980 was fucking WILD.

Brilliant video breaking down the uniqueness of mid-90s game UIs, Wipeout, and the lack of creativity in the modern age. Highlights well what I've been feeling as I play retro games more heavily these days.

THE STORY OF HANGMAN ADAM PAGE, NATIVE PLANT LOVER AND AEW'S MAIN CHARACTER
We begin, as we often do, with a web-show started by a group of friends as a travel-vlog.
"Being The Elite", said web-show, gains popularity, which in turn increases the popularity of its already famous stars.

And here come the cavalcade of people who have absolutely no experience with the emotional, physical, and mental pressure it takes to be a professional athlete talking about how an athlete should react when all that effort vanishes in a heartbreaking moment.

We worked really, really hard on this one. I love doing games with weird themes that "feel" like the theme it's based on. I think we nailed it with this. I hope you'll check it out.

People complain about modern wrestling not being "realistic" enough when the most popular spot in the 80s and 90s was a dude being held in a rear naked choke for a minute straight and then getting willed back from the brink of consciousness by the cheers of the fans.

I'm really glad it found a new home but the concept of such an important and beloved children's show being shunted behind a paywall is incredibly depressing.
“Sesame Street” has found itself a new home.
Netflix announced that the decades-old public educational television program will premiere its 56th season on the global streaming giant, along with 90 hours of previous episodes.

Sabu is probably one of if not the last "mythic" wrestler that'll ever be. When I was a kid you'd hear about this guy and how fucking crazy he was but you couldn't go immediately to YouTube to find out for yourself. He had a legend built around him and we'll probably never have that again.

I get the sentiment but personally I get sad and disappointed when wrestlers I like work for the maga rapist company.
Good for Cobb. I selfishly would have preferred him in AEW, but regardless, I wish him big pay and happiness wherever it may be.
Jeff Cobb is in WWE. What a great reaction
Fightful Select reported today he was in St. Louis and had been pitched for the Bloodline group

I really don't wanna be the stick in the mud here but maybe the game of "fuck marry kill" in an industry that has a very checkered past, present, and most certainly future with sexual harassment, abuse, and assault isn't the vibe, you know?

"Because of its proximity to the Performance Center, a lot of WWE developmental talent over the years had trained at Team Vision Dojo, although its largely kept under wraps."

I get shitting on Bischoff is the thing to do, and for good reason, and the main event scene was a mess, but to say Nitro was a dreadful show is insane. It had some of the best wrestling you could find in the US and was a true spotlight for wrestlers around the world. It was a proto AEW in many ways
As aew dynamite is about to pass wcw nitro in eps:
Nitro was a dreadful show for much of its existence. Let's not forget that.
Dynamite is at worst boring every once in a while with a couple bad segments here and there.
