There is no shortage of people on the right wing doing that from that side, trying to grift off it and believing precisely none of it

It is pretty dispiriting how much overlap there is between RWM and "Wrestling Journalism." You see the exact same tactics at work, the same levers being pulled by people whose entire business model operates on being contrarian.

He's right you know, MJF call himself a metaphorical devil is much worse than the time Vince challenged and 'beat' God.

My old boss used to get upset at Miro's gimmick because of the whole redeemer and challenging god thing, iirc also mad about the barbed wire crown hangman gave Adam Cole on Easter Sunday

Still stupid, but at least that kinda made sense to me

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
AEW being anti-Christian is so off base, they love Christian so much they call him The Father.

me to tony about his booking: You did a racism. You did an imperialism. You did a nationalism. You did a xenophobia. You did a white fragility. You did a weak apology. You did no growth. This makes it abundantly clear you don't understand the intersectional nature of the multiplicity of your offenses

TJPW is the perfect company to dip in and out of. The undercards are often not so interesting so I just skip them.

I dunno, early TJPW is rough to watch but this dude sounds more like he's describing current Actwres girlZ than Tokyo Joshi to me. Pom will never be Meiko Satomura or Manami Toyota but that's not her role. I'd certainly rather watch her than Natsuko Tora being a rubbish Mayumi Ozaki

Even random TJPW undercards on the smaller shows have gems... I remember Yamashita and Pom having basically the perfect match this one time. Totally character-based, all of it made perfect sense and told a really complete, economical and funny story. The kind of poo poo WWE fans lecture other wrestling fans about what wrestling "should be", but barely ever actually happens in WWE

I mean AEW didn't exist when Okada became a huge star. And the Japanese industry wasn't in the dirt. But with conditions as they are in America & Japan, this is basically true now.

Nah that's a legit concern if your in Puro and I get where they are coming from. The last part is just more for young talent like say Gabe Kidd

Everyone is for sale is a very stupid thing to say. Yes, wrestlers are free to sign with who they want. Japanese companies have historically been very lucky that wrestlers are very loyal to their company. In this case, just a month ago the Super J Cast tweeted this:

I love this logic of like "Wrestlers don't want to work for a company with technical issues on their streams" or like "Wrestlers don't want to work for a company whose owner makes bad tweets"

Wrestlers want to work someone that's gonna pay them, my guy
