Yeah, I mean I really don't know why I need someone to tell me "This Okada guy had a pretty decent match." I guess I just don't want to get invested in something that winds up bad, but it's a silly desire. For something like a WWE show, if I were watching WWE, I would want to know what to watch before hand because it's all pretty hit and miss over there.

I've been sick and busy with work and haven't had the energy to invest in watching NJPW right now. They are the best matches but it takes focus to watch. I've been watching my local Lucha fed live instead.

There was a dude on twitter after the BOSJ ended who was pissed because he saw a win-loss chart after the finals took place and was very upset that Shingo's victory was spoiled.

A great match can fool you even if you do know. Two examples from the last year I recall are Tanahashi/Okada from Dontaku 2018, where I got fully sucked in right up until the finish, and it wasn't even the spoilers that made me realise it was the end, it was just the work. And Tanahashi/Ospreay vs Golden Lovers from the Road to WK show, where I've watched it like 3 times, and I still think Ospreay's gonna win during it.

Yeah, if something is really great it doesn't matter if you know the ending. I know that Han Solo shows up at the end of Star Wars to save the day, that doesn't change that the scene is really tense and him showing up is hype as gently caress, because they did a good job making it.

Yeah I knew the result and they still managed to make me think Ospreay was gonna pin Omega five days before Wrestle Kingdom. What a masterclass.

I hate being spoiled for stuff but really the only reasonable thing to do is not engage at all if you don't want to be spoiled. I subscribed to Cultaholic on and checking my YouTube subs before going to watch the show spoiled me on both Jericho challenging Omega and Jay White beating Tanahashi for the belt. Now I ain't subbed to them anymore. :v: (SPOILER: Major Title Change at NJPW show isn't much of a spoiler warning as it turns out)

I tend to be a little cautious personally about things that haven't aired yet (although others aren't so things like the tag titles change at the last SEAdLINNNG show I was spoiled on right away; and often in Joshi circles you'll get this show that everyone is waiting for since the one person there live raved about the match which includes mentioning the result) but as soon as something has aired I have no compunctions: especially for stuff streaming live. If someone says that they don't want to be spoiled then I'm not going to be wanker and tweet results at them but if someone comes to me moaning about spoilers because I posted something myself somewhere then I'll laugh at them.

When its a major show that people will watch live then you can't complain really: its your responsibility to remain unspoiled and not others to not talk about something they really want to.

I dont care.
A website i visited had a post about the BOSJ winner with Will Ospreay's pic in the preview and i was pissed because it spoiled who won. But i also have ruined my short term memory with weed so by the time i got to watch it i forgot the result and was shocked that Opsreay won. So what i am trying to say is that everyone should just smoke more weed.

Try something with a lower THC level and maybe get a CBD dominant blend

Anxiety can be caused by the specific strain or the more vague 'type' of weed but if you've found it happens constantly no matter what then you may just be someone who can't/shouldn't do weed. Alcohol is also a pretty good kayfabe enhancer.

I used to do weed all the time and love it but then sometime around age like, 29, it just stopped turning into a fun time and started being me laying in bed hoping not to die.

I still probably got high at least 100 times after the first time it was bad and it was never good again but it took me a while to unlearn.

Yeah if you can't get a cbd blend you can get cbd flower, concentrate, pure crystalline cbd shipped legally to all 50 states. Just mix it with your regular weed


My faves:
Cbd flower - CBD Hemp Direct and Fields of Hemp

Concentrates and pure cbd:the hemp barn and phytodabs.

if you have anxiety here is a good strain that is pretty mellow and kept me happy and energized while not making me overly stoned: French Cookies. SmartCart makes a cartridge of this strain and its a great daytime, get poo poo done kind of high. it's not legal where i live either but my guy gets me these and they're great.

Like, I have my issues with AEW's booking of the women's division so far (too many multiwomans, not enough singles showcases other than the Brandi vanity match, we're still not sure who the top title contenders are supposed to be), but the joshi talent has killed it and gotten over every time. Those matches have consistently been a highlight of the shows.

People say NXT is good simply because all it is is high spots. High spots are not good. High spots are the reason why wrestling has died. NXT isn't the modern day 1990's ECW its fanboys claim it is. Its actually a place for guys who aren't good enough to become stars in wrestling to pretend they are actually stars that were held back by backstage politics. You also need to understand NXT isn't a separate company and its owned by Vince McMahon. Yes marks you have been worked by senile Vince into thinking its an independent company.
