Once Adam Cole comes back, they can slide back into the old "Adam Cole is being buried" argument.

As an avid Deadspin reader at the time, it is useful to remember Portnoy himself got Van Talk cancelled, because people were already uncomfortable with the ESPN-Barstool relationship and he went out to say something typically horrific the week it was being scrutinized

Also one “lol” for Erica Nardini, whose entire job first at Barstool and now additionally on the WWE board is serving as a human shield for Dave every time he wants to go humiliate the both of them

yea ok

He unambiguously has significant crossover appeal while still being a really loving good traditional professional wrestler that is also over with professional wrestling fans. This is purely anecdotal, but I've seen OC come up in my non wrestling circles and literally referred to as "the only wrestler that matters". What's significantly less anecdotal is all the times he's done very well in the ratings, which is more often than not! The dude is over, the evidence that he moves business is all out there in the open and people who are still pushing against him three years later and are pretending it's for any reason other than them personally not liking him are shmucks.

Yeah, my sister asked me out of the blue about him because she'd seen some gifs of him and thought it was really cool and fun.

Can't wait for the eventual Hegelian synthesis of bad Cole takes where it becomes some poo poo like "Tiny Con is trying to bury Adam Cole but he's too fat to fit in the figurative coffin and that's why he was in another main event"

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

"AEW needs to explain who these people are! WHO THE HELL IS THIS GREAT MUTA GUY??? Casuals are probably so confused right now!" I scream as I go frame-by-frame through Fury Road looking for the next hint to a WWE ARG I've already declared to be the greatest piece of fiction ever devised.

If I am forced to read The Holzerman's dumb bullshit you are too!

https://tholzerman.substack.com/p/antonio-inoki-a-real-one

quote:

Obviously, the Ali fight was a publicity stunt, one that flustered the heavyweight champion of the world but one that explored the boundaries of shoot fighting. The UFC and other companies would not exist today if not for Inoki taking a shot on doing an invasion angle2 with Nobuhiko Takada’s UWFi, a shoot-style promotion that fuzzed the boundaries between work and shoot enough to create the last layer of kayfabe before the guys actually started hitting each other. Shoot-style gave rise to the first MMA promotions, and Japanese MMA was the most influential strain on the modern sport as it is. Yeah, everyone loved dad-bod Dan Severn and crazy-eyed Ken Shamrock, but their gonzo, “illegal pit fighting” ethos died out quickly with the polished fighters inspired through Inoki’s cultivation of something more real, a different edge on pro wrestling.

(UFC was founded 2 years before the invasion. Pancrase before that. And he specifically means the feud that inspired the nWo, he says so in a footnote.)

quote:

He was a capitalist, sure, but he never lost sight of what can keep a man from losing himself in it.

New Japan almost fell apart due to his embezzlement in the 80s and he lost his first political career due to his corruption!

It's extra grating to read so many people trying to say this poo poo because you don't even need to lie about it to talk about the subject! There are plenty of reasons Inoki is important to the legacy of mixed martial arts! You probably don't have Shooto if Inoki doesn't exist and it predates all of them but that's less sexy than saying "the UFC" so no one cares!

It's kind of amazing to be take the truth (Inoki being a major part of the evolution of MMA) and just get it so wrong.

Yeah its kinda of amazing that while everyone knows of Inoki almost destroying New Japan in the 00's few in the English speaking world know how close he came to doing it in the 80's. Heck I didn't know that first UWF and Choshu's exit in the 80's had a lot to do with Inoki embezzling funds.
