Even Maggie Haberman thinks this is a bad look.

Glad that you're getting things taken care of. Scary news, of course, but glad to hear things will work out. Hope all goes well.

Well, based on the translator I found, I think it means "Server is down. Please try again later."

I think. 😅

Not a clue. Is it in Hebrew?

Miss them. Hope wherever they land, they're well paid and happy.

Driving home in my part of Michigan during deer season is not an enjoyable experience. Routinely count 10-12 deer a night on the roadside. And I do not have a big car to absorb that kind of impact. One gets frisky and entirely possible my car is totaled.

Yeah, the rest still feels muddy at best. We still need to figure out who SHO and Douki are facing, possibly no junior title match as that entire division is revolving around HoT. WTL will set up the tag title match. The last two years featured some AEW involvement, but will extend beyond Takeshita?

I'm reminded of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, after they pick up Ford and Arthur:

"We have normality, I repeat we have normality." She turned her microphone off then turned it back on with a slight smile and continued: "Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem."

The Strong Openweight Title (held by Ishii, in case you forgot) hasn't been defended since May. The Strong Openweight Tag Titles (TJP & Templario--I had to look it up) haven't been defended since August. And only twice since May, both in Mexico. There's clearly no point or direction to them anymore.

That must have been a slog. But I did get a laugh out of this bit:

"Arn is probably just happy he’s not having to be in a triple decker cage."

I think he definitely was. After all, he was in that Doomsday Cage fiasco at Uncensored 96.

I mean, personally I'm excited about Takeshita and Tsuji, but I fully recognize that I'm a sicko and probably should not be mistook for anything indicative of wider fandom.

At this point I would settle for observable reality to be an agreed-upon reality again. Getting awfully tired of there being two of them, and living in the one that a third of the country and broad sections of the national media have chosen not to occupy.

Barring a Three Mile Island/Chernobyl-style meltdown, he's going to be here through season's end regardless, but I've reached the point where I genuinely believe we've gone as far as we can go with him. But I also recognize that's a trap that teams have fallen into before to their massive detriment.

That's honestly one of the best feelings. I've gone to two concerts now that I never would have done in a million years, but went because my kids wanted to go. I don't remember a single song from either one, but the sheer joy plastered all over their faces will be seared in my memory forever.

Also, you've got to be in the ballpark of my age--probably a little younger but still--how freaking cool is that to be able to work on tie-in products for a property that was such an inextricable part of all of our childhoods?

I had completely forgotten this was dropping now. My son is going to Lose. His. Mind. Can't wait to show him. His joy is the best thing in the world.

There's been an undercurrent for a while, but losses this year to Cleveland, Carolina, and now this absolute turd against Philly have caused them to get much louder, and honestly, earn some credence.

Oh thank God, someone who’s almost as old as me. 😂
