KISS ME KRIS

I live in a multicultural and multifaith household and the easiest way to navigate identity issues is not to. Just treat people how you'd like to be treated. if you're defining characteristic is your whiteness or your blackness, read a fuckin book or something. There's way more to you than just the historical baggage you inherited.

Cody trying to score woke points in the middle of a jingoistic tirade was baffling but w/e its america, this whole place can't decide to riot or orgy at any given moment.

Here's the thing about Wild Thing as an entrance theme: It's the flute later in the song. Mox is pacing around, looking like a rabid dog, ready to kill somebody, then there is a loving flute in the background.

A theme needs to have no flute at all or be entirely flute-based; no in between.

the flute part makes me think of the part of a war movie where the dialogue stops and the bombs start dropping, so it fits for me. like the war bit of forrest gump or something. it's a weird association in my brain but im happy it's there.

-I liked Nagata vs Mox, it was a match of respect between both and I'm glad I've seen Nagata in action even if he is old.

-Really liked SCU vs Bucks minus the Good Brothers being there. The match was good enough and holy poo poo Kaz and CD are still great. Kaz is still on great shape and has an amazing moveset and resources for about any kind of match.

-It sucks that OC got injured on what it was for sure a great match, the guy carried as long as he could and felt weird, but I guess they fixed the outcome. I hope he is fine and we can see another proper PAC vs OC again.

And then TNT tittle: :stare: That's how you book a monster. Darby used EVERYTHING that worked against previous adversaries. Nothing worked and jesus, Miro is such a scary guy when unhinged. Sorry Darby but I was rooting for the BEST MAN (and for 10, JD... :mmmhmm:).

Good show, with its lowest point being OC's injury :(

I want whoever beats Miro to be at least 5-7 guys in. I want a bunch of great beastly matches. Archer, obviously, but then throw Luchasaurus at him. Give Bear Bronson a go. Run a string of high fliers like Sydal and Martin, throw Angelico in there
There's so much possibility.

Also the first few matches should run a couple of minutes tops. Feed him a Matt Sydal or a Joey Janela to smash into pieces

Jungle Boy, Orange or Silver beating Darby like this in a babyface match seems like the way to end a shorter second Darby reign. Darby passing out in a hold just makes the rematch inevitable, and to heighten the stakes I Quit feels right, and one Darby can't lose. Could very well be wrong!

At least they can throw Darby into a pool of ice and give him a rest. The guy was getting bumped everywhere week after week and he needs to heal up.

I sort of feel like a good general rule is that after someone either takes a horrendous beating like Darby did or gets chucked off a cage like Jericho was... you leave them off the next taping. Just a couple of weeks where it becomes normal for them to not be there, just to sell how battered they can get.

I want to see Hangman duck Omega again and use his top contender status to try beating Miro instead, only to fail in a massive battle. Keep Hangman away from Omega but still let him compete for a belt. Then at his lowest he can begin his redemption tour beating PAC, Jericho, and then Omega.

Idk if I'd wanna see Cody/Darby take the TNT belt again for a long while so if they want to do a David and Goliath match, put Jungle Boy or Jack Evans in there.

Darby gets a lot of momentum and throws himself so hard. It's amazing to watch and while I wanted him to lose against a bunch on his defenses, the guy is amazing at being reckless.

I missed the start of the match because I had to pause and my DVR hosed up so I missed the tope live. When I saw it on twitter in a gif I just assumed it was a fan edit or something because it just looks so unreal.

I'm super excited for the buildup for the 3-way. Once Kenny realizes he doesn't need to get pinned to lose the title he's gonna FREAK.

The thing is, I actually kind of get the idea behind Cody's promo, in that he was cutting a Dusty Rhodes-esque promo about how far we've come since Dusty was the man. In that way it succeeded, but it was still rambly as hell, and Dusty's hard-working American ethos doesn't really work in 2021's climate. The feud is about the warring sides of a faction split, not "Cody solves racism".

MK 2021 movie spoilers:

Cody will win through his golden chest arcana manifesting mid match. Brandi will also hit Ogogo with a car at one point.
If Lucha Underground was still going, I have no doubt they would've done a literal Mortal Kombat cross-promotion for the new movie. Sub-Zero showing up and straight murdering the Reptile Tribe is the kind of content I want in my wrestling. Scorpion and Penta could also tag as ninja skeleton boys.
