genuinely, if you watch japanese wrestling with english commentary that doesn't include Ho Ho Lun, you need to get your head checked

But once you know what’s going on, nothing beats Japanese commentary losing their poo poo during an Okada main event or something.

I'd probably not watch wrestling now if not for Kelly & Callis, but can't imagine watching without Milano's excited calls now. And it's great in DG because there's so many promos that I'd otherwise not understand.

The PWI awards are out and apparently their readership decided to be as pro-WWE as possible to counter AEW because these are so heavily stupidly skewed to WWE it straight up ignores AEW and all of Japan which they haven't done in years. Their rookie of the year was injured eight months ago.

Their rookie of the year was injured eight months ago. I am not gonna get involved in the arguing over awards because I hold the general public’s opinion in the lowest regard But I do want to point out that either my standards have changed since the 90s or they have massively gotten shittier with the cover art, holy gently caress   Both of these look like someone was pasting clip art over a photo of the wrestlers, font choices are bad and poorly done… No wonder the magazine industry died

Their rookie of the year was injured eight months ago. Some of them are understandable (Seth and Rhea do have legitimate arguments for Wrestler of the Year for their respective gender), but at the same time, Rhea vs Charlotte wasn't even the best match that night. At least it's not as bad as WWE viewers knocking out the IC triple-threat out of the WWE MotY bracket in the first round, I guess.
