I like Sammy G. I'm not trying to like reach for a pitchfork or anything. I know that endorsements aren't always easy to get. But does Sammy still promote Bang?

I knew that the CEO was a big Trump donor, but if they're involved with TPUSA, they're lovely in ways that I did not previously know.

I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare


I was watching the Dark Order vs. Bear Country match everyone was talking about and man, that match some bizarre Taz commentary.

At one point he said the combined weight of the competitors in the match was "two, three, four thousand pounds"

He also said he wants to wrestle a real life bear, "Even in my 50's, I'd still shoot on em. I'd stretch em."

All in all I don't get what point you are trying to make? If you are going to split hairs between Trump supporting CEOs and TPUSA supporting CEOs do it in D&D or CSPAM where they presumably have opinions about that. If this is about Sammy taking money from Bang, I don't know if we ever knew if he was taking money from it or not.

I wasn't aware that corporate and/or political ties of wrestlers were something that we were not allowed to discuss here. If someone is actively promoting the products of a company that funds far right causes, of any kind, it's generally not ideal. That's why I asked if he still did it.

I wasn't saying that he was a bad guy or that he even knew about it. Bang came up in my feed for the first time since I searched them to see about ordering some after seeing them on his vlog and deciding not to because they seemed lovely. It made me curious. That's all.

Some of it will but Uno and The Butcher both in singles matches on the same card will be awful. They are both dyed-in-the-wool tag wrestlers. Well, in Butcher's only singles match he looked like he was dying in the Florida heat so maybe this will go better.

people generally are aware of the stuff that comes out of their mouths (at the very least after the fact). i think he just needs someone to go 'yo while you're signed can you at least try to drop the misogyny/homophobia from your freestyle' and hold him to that. or at least don't talk about how people on twitter are trying to cancel you.

(also, like, don't go 'hey well basically all rap is that bad so maybe he thinks he's doing a good job :)' because that just shows how poo poo of a view you have on an entire genre of music)

A huge amount of people are blissfully unaware of all the horrible poo poo that any given corporation that produces a product they like are most likely up to.

Vetting the companies you purchase your stuff from A: Is a full time job and B: Will likely destroy your soul when you realize they're all awful and you're not allowed to buy anything without feeling like poo poo about it. No ethical consumption under capitalism. Of course endorsement deals are a little different.

Uno is a very good singles wrestler and Butcher tried really hard despite the humidity nearly killing him. Neither match will be a classic, but they'll be solid fun.

I appreciate that commentary covers for Big Butch getting blown up by putting him over as a “power guy that needs to win fast or else he’s toast.” In his solo match with Moxley he dominated for a bit but Moxley clearly won by running the guy ragged. It’s why he’s primarily a tag guy (since Blade can carry the match and give Butch a break here and there to catch his breath).

He has 4 moves. Side Slam, Big Boot, That 'catch a kick into a neckbreaker' and a Senton. Aside from transition stuff like punches, eyegouges, irish whips and clotheslines I've never seen him do anything else.

His tag spots with Stu however are Quebecers level of awesome and yes that is a compliment. Those guys had some great tandem offense.

This is what I read. He gets the comparison to Stu, who is workrate city and has a great physique.

The takes I read on why people don’t like Uno, always always always comes down to his build/look. I’ve read a few that try to do a comparison to Kevin Owens and yeah, KO is better.

Uno is fine though. And let’s be real, his finisher is loving awesome.
