I got Ashley Furniture (which my parents told me to never buy from when I moved out), some lovely webmd podcast that I think used the X-Files theme for bgm, and chumba. It might have been two chumbas in a row but I slam that +30 so fast.

On the ad front, I got ads about Texas auto insurance minimums, then a series of ads about booking a staycation in downtown Dallas as well as the Dallas Metro's hottest new Mediterranean restaurant. I was very confused until I looked at where my VPN had been configured for at random. (Listening to an older episode I downloaded last night, the same thing happened leading to me hearing a lot of repeated spots about a car dealership in Florida that was proud to boast that it was the largest Toyota dealership in the country based on a specific subset of passenger vehicle sales in the course of a specific time period.)

I saw the new Talk is Jericho is "The Transformation of Gabbi Tuft" and wasn't going to give it a second look assuming it was a true crime episode but I ended up seeing the description and I had no idea the former Tyler Reks is trans. Will have to give it a listen because I've been kind of interested in what happened to that era of WWE wrestler, Reks, DJ Gabriel, and well, that's a more interesting story.

I googled it to see if I was remembering correctly and it’s all archived stuff from before her transition, which feels weird to post now since apparently she nuked all her prior stuff so she obviously wants it gone.

Either way, yeah she at the very least did indeed spend some time on anti mask bullshit.

If you're going to just randomly drop allegations in an unrelated conversation the least you could do is have hard evidence but honestly it's just such an unnecessary thing to say when that wasn't even the conversation at hand. And you clearly didn't "remember things" clearly enough if you had to ask when you made your post.

There's no reason to even bring that up when the conversation is "I'm interested in listening to this episode of a podcast featuring a wrestler from a time that doesn't get a lot of coverage, and who transitioned". This is getting ridiculous in how often it's happened lately. It just brings things down for zero benefit. If it turns out that episode of Talk Is Jericho has her espousing those views, then we can talk.

Paul Heyman’s appearance on the Rick Rubin podcast is so exceptional. I’m only 30 mins in and he’s put over so many people SO HARD. already loved the guy but hot drat this is great.

This is a really good show and a great "Jericho as a Well Meaning Clod" show. Interesting note that WWE twice refused to let Gabbi backstage for what seems to be but cannot be confirmed to be transphobia but an interesting show even if it needs to rush through everything in an hour.

I'll have to check it out, following social media stuff she is still absolutely a carny but chilled out a lot when she started transitioning and now mostly does TikToks about either pro-trans rights or generic TikTok content. I followed a lot of her stuff when she first came out.

Just started listening to the Gabbi Tuft TIJ episode and yeah, she really has chilled out a lot, but also so much of her experience early on in the company hits really close to home. "An environment where you're almost afraid to be at your job" and "you're being told ten different things by ten different people and also told to respect all of them, which leads to you afraid to try anything new". Wrestling can be an incredible place but it can be so demeaning and demoralizing too, so many intangibles you're expected to grasp at all times. This is a really good listen so far and I'm really impressed at all the little details she remembers about her run, from names of agents to stories of heat. It is so cool to hear from this era since so much has changed since in what feels like a short amount of time and yet it rarely gets covered in stuff like this. Looking forward to listening to more later.

The praise for Matt Cardona was nice. :)

Think I'm unsubscribing to F4W/WO.

quote:

It was said that this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Riddle had raised the ire of some of the veterans from day one, whether it was saying Bill Goldberg wasn’t any good as a wrestler, or claiming in a real fight he’d beat Roman Reigns. Riddle was a trained UFC fighter and former New York State champion in wrestling who beat Jon Jones in wrestling when both were in high school, something that WWE never mentioned when promoting him but almost every other promotion in history would have pushed to death. He had numerous incidents over the years of complaints from women after relationships had fallen apart, had a very public lawsuit by one (a suit filed also against WWE and Evolve where both promotions were thrown out of the suit quickly and the suit ended up being dropped with both sides agreeing not to talk about whatever agreement was made publicly) and failed two WWE drug tests.

quote:

Since the word last week of his being let go, there has been interest by a number of companies in both pro wrestling and MMA. Most pro wrestling companies of any size immediately expressed interest, and in MMA, both PFL and Bare Knuckle Fighting had expressed interest due to his name value from WWE and the fact he was a decent MMA fighter. Riddle hasn’t fought in nine years and is 37, and real fighting is not a sport it would be wise to go back into unless it’s a big money offer. We’ve also seen with C.M. Punk that getting exposed in real fighting does not hurt someone when returning to pro wrestling as fans see them as different worlds.

This one got the most attention but might be the least bad.

quote:

We’ve heard people say AEW doesn’t need new talent that can’t be top guys, basically with the idea since they weren’t top guys in WWE that AEW can’t use them. But it should be noted Riddle’s role in his last few months with the company and Jon Moxley’s role, where he always lost, in his last few months were identical, although Riddle certainly has the baggage issue that Moxley didn’t have.

And the most F4W thing ever when I do try to cancel:

Was nice to him and his friends at PWG. Matt Riddle's entire career is based on fooling promoters and reporters that he was a great guy while people with half a clue told them he was a huge piece of poo poo. Promoters looking the other way while he used fans for drugs and sex because they thought he was a star and was very nice to them.

Nice, 'well meaning clod' episodes are my favourite TiJ's. I think the last great one was when he had Stoke on and he's dropping all these 90s hip-hop references and Jericho's pretending to get them when he obviously doesn't.

Are you referring to the downplaying of the assault allegations? The rest seems pretty innocuous unless I'm missing something.

Not just downplaying of allegations but painting them in the most favorable light given that Riddle lied about them and making it blatantly obvious that Riddle is a source here since Dave did not poll every wrestling company of any size if they expressed interest in Matt Riddle and I have good reason to believe it's not true. Perhaps even laughably not true. Bad, biased reporting.
