Bret was supposed to be the bad guy here I think but after the ref bump he doesn't cheat and he checks on the ref. I thought he was going to go for another stomp but instead he does a dropping headbutt to the abdomin. then hbk interferes and the patriot rolls him up and holds onto the tights

I went to an ROH show in Boston around 06 or so and the gentleman in the first row in front of me was so large A. a foot of asscrack was staring at me all night and B. A guardrail bump slammed into his knees and the chair exploded underneath him

So I can see it

Other than the main event the card for Flair’s last match actually looks pretty good

It's one of them things that's popped up recently where like DoorDash/GrubHub/whatever will have a restaurant you can order from but that restaurant doesn't actually exist, it's a completely different restaurant just making that food and sending it to you in branded packaging.

Apparently early on in the pandemic Chuck E Cheese got caught doing this cause they'd open a bunch of fake pizza restaurants on the apps and people wouldn't know they were getting Chuck E Cheese Pizza til it showed up.

You can look at the restaurant's listed physical location and figure out if it's a true ghost kitchen - just a spot with no front-facing area for customers, only for delivery drivers - or if another restaurant is taking on extra orders under another brand name. Looking at DoorDash right now there's a MrBeast Burger and a place called Chicken Sammy's both operating out of a nearby Red Robin. (For what it's worth, I've read that Wooo! Wings suck, and not just because they're delivery wings which inevitably arrive soggy.)

The funniest thing about the Chuck E. Cheese fake listing thing was that the brand name they went with was Pasqually's, which, if I'm going to order pizza from a place sight unseen? Not the name of a place I'd go with.

This was the first thing I ever saw on Raw and the Patriot seemed so lame I went right back to watching Nitro.

We have literally no info on the quality of Wooings other than a 10 second video where Flair opens the box and slams it shut after getting a glimpse of the World Championship Wings and their legendary flavors.

Eddie not having much to say about PAC probably due to him being so private and keeping it to "best athlete in the locker room" is extremely on brand for PAC

The Ric Flair wings are from a ghost kitchen/network called Kitchen Data Systems, which are the same people that do Powerbomb Pizza (partnered with PWTees) and DaMandyz Donutz, which is Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose.

All of Powerbomb Pizza's menu items basically look like Domino's specialty pizzas except named after retired wrestlers (plus Eddie Guerrero wings and Gangrel breadsticks). They also have a "Vegan Club" burger 'virtual restaurant' that doesn't seem to even exist virtually, since it links to a website that seems to primarily sell on-demand t-shirts/merch/NFTs featuring unauthorized depictions of celebrity vegans and is nebulously connected to a second unrelated virtual vegan restaurant with Kevn Hart as a spokesperson?



I'm not really sure why they're the "wrestlers get into a new dubious field" company of choice, but KDS seems like a niche of a niche, the company DJ Khaled uses (REEF) at least has actual partners who have real restaurants that are partnering with them to get onto EVERY delivery service even in areas where they don't have a physical restaurant (most prominently Wendy's and Saladworks, but also a bunch of other regional chains).

So the Khaled and Ric Flair wings are probably from different ghost kitchens, but are also probably equally boring and maybe both networks buy the same sauces from a third giant corporation by the vat, which seems pretty likely.

That Taz/HOOK video is so wholesome.

I've followed PAC's career since '07 and I've never heard a single person in the business say a remotely disparaging word about him. Every account I've heard is that he's really polite, if a bit quiet, and everyone respects the hell out of his ringwork and ability. It's cool to know that one of the best and most consistent wrestlers in the world is just a really solid dude IRL.
