Fans who buy regular general admission tickets or even better get in for free and who demand primo seats to an indy event without waiting in line never cease to amaze me


Edit: especially when they show up a half hour into the show and piss drunk

Yeah, as someone who has gotten in free to a few gigs from knowing the promoter or road agent/tour manager, a) it's still a really cool novelty to me rather than an expectation so if you can't get on the guest list then it's cool, and b) I'm only getting in free because of a friend, so be grateful when it happens
Which usually involves buying a pint or 2. Certainly don't ever throw your toys out of the pram when shock of shocks, the show sells out.

But then this is basic human interactions and I guess a lot of wrestling fans fail at it

To be fair to Bobby, the throwing out of the ring and landing on the concrete seemed like it was all that jobber. Guy just said gently caress it and did a flip lol. The suplex had some hostile intent to it though.

It'll probably change soon, the California House passed a bill on the topic, though it's still to go through the Senate. And that'll force the other states to quickly catch up.

College football is fun. Despite having attended no university in America, it's still fun to watch. It's weird & colourful & it's full of absolutely awful loving people, it's honestly a lot like wrestling.

College players been paid for years, go watch Pony Excess and The U. It’s just now out of the shadows with NIL. And yeah, it’s real easy to go to a big state school and wind up bonded that way.

Yeah, but the brown bags full of cash type deals are way more comparable to NIL than actual salaried employees. Or independent contractors, however that goes. Where as the bill in the California legislature is actually talking about schools themselves paying players, rather than boosters who own a car dealership. It's kind of a symbolic difference but it's an important one.

The Mulkeys were great, they knew that their job was to get beaten up and they always gave it maximum effort.

There are some good interviews with them out there from recent years where they talk about how they never wanted to be big stars, they were just happy to be wrestlers and making other people look good.

And that one singular one win they got was basically a thank you from the company, nobody told them anything about it until it happened.

Bill Mulkey had a fun match with Arn on TV, too and it was a TITLE MATCH. I think Arn has talked about it before, it was basically him giving a bit back to the Mulkeys because he was in a position to do it at that point.
