That Bret Vs Owen cage match from SummerSlam 1994 is the most boring thing and he gave it five stars, a higher rating than their WMX match got.

There are plenty of left wing people who are really loving racist, some more blatant than others. I've found as time goes on that someone's self-identification on the political spectrum is almost useless as a barometer of racism, misogyny, or what have you.

Nah, not even that a lot of the time. We'd like to think young people are vastly more tolerant but a lot of the time it comes down to not using blatant slurs. The underlying attitudes are still there they just manifest in less obvious ways.

Yeah I was kidding. There are plenty of people I know (not really young anymore but w/e) who are pretty blatant on social media about race and gender issues so you can't even give them that

It's kinda silly that the WON doesn't have on-staff guys that are fluent in Spanish and Japanese, or at least consultants. At least for Mexico you have knowledgeable guys like cubsfan and Rob Viper that send Dave stuff, for Japan his sources don't seem so good. I've seen people that speak the language complain that he gets stuff wrong fairly frequently.

The not crediting sources thing seems to be SOP for some reason. I don't really understand why. He didn't credit MLW with breaking the NJPW 4 story a few weeks ago either.

Not crediting sources, especially when quoting verbatim, is really unjustifiable. I mean that's the most basic of basic journalistic standards. That story about yottsume is really lovely behaviour

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

This would actually make a huge amount of sense

At the same time, oldschool southern democrats who aren't actually dixiecrats tend to absorb the same "common sense" racism their opposed party does so it's hard to call

It won't be a major change or anything but the F4W forum allowing Twitter embedding now will further expose Meltzer's lack of sourcing/sources. As it makes it easier for posters to cross post tweets onto the F4W forum.

Just on Meltzer's Japanese sources. It flew under most people's radar as few care about Joshi. But his reporting about STARDOM a week and 2 weeks ago was really bad. The correction he issued last week was worse than the original story.

It probably goes without saying at this point, but if you don't like Lucha Underground spoilers and don't want to know what the entire season finale card is, skip that part of this morning's WOR. Short bit, timestamp about 57:20-58:45.

It reminds me of the really early MMA stuff where a Kung Fu guy would go up against a jiu-jitsu guy and get his poo poo repeatedly and thoroughly pushed in because it turns out that punching the air for 12 years doesn't actually make you a good fighter.
