Another project was the Chris Jericho/Orange Cassidy debate.
This was a fun one.
Eric Bischoff even gave me props for it on Twitter!

I did some other fun stuff for them as well. One night Matt Hardy tagged with the Young Bucks and I did a "Hardy Boys Era" type video for his entrance with one hour notice. It was fun seeing something I'd just finished being played in Jacksonville minutes later.

This is a higher resolution version of the new logo. Sorry for the blurry one on the original post.

I created the original Blood & Guts logo for #AEW in 2020 and last month saw that it had changed.
It went from stylized and cool to a font that comes with your PC.
My version was on toys and used for 4 years and looked cool as hell.
Oh well. It's not mine, but it was a bummer to see it changed.

No wonder that Disney Plus dumped the show after this past season!
I wonder if the BBC will, too.

For those that are fans of the 90s and AJPW's Four Pillars...
Do you think Akira Taue deserves to be the fourth? Or would you substitute Jun Akiyama?
Would love to hear your opinions and reasons why or why not!

If for no other reason than to show a lil respect to one of my best friends ever and to signify his twelve years of being the best...pet your fuzz balls and tell em Speck said hi.
I love you and will miss you more than words could possibly say, buddy.

I was wildly amused today learning that Sabu had business cards.

Today I learned that wrestlers used to have business cards.
It makes sense.
I just never thought about it.
Anyway, here are two of Sabu's business cards from the 80s/90s. Enjoy!

Attention @bsky.app - I see that verification is coming to Blue Sky, and I should inform you that I am *very* important and was verified at THAT OTHER PLACE before it was bastardized (in so many ways!) and turned into a doo-doo site that didn't understand the definition of "verified."
Hint, hint.
