Netflix isn't going to get the anime industry to change how it dubs series in Japan since they've gone back to in studio now after Covid restrictions hot lifted and Suzuko Mimori isn't a fluent enough English speaker to get English parts soooo

Nope, Okada is coming to America with stars in his eyes and just a few possessions in a bindle bag on a stick without any help from anyone.

I'm still not convinced Okada even signs to an American company, but the thought of him signing to either WWE or AEW and witnessing the internet fan backlash is going to be hilarious

Imagine thinking Shawn Michaels has anything to teach Okada after today's reports that Okada doesn't want to job for young guys on his way out.

It always reminds me of a early-internet-wrestling-news-site column called The Learning Tree that was an advice column written in the voice of the Undertaker circa summer 1999 when he was kind of sliding from Ministry of Darkness to American Badass and was cutting promos about abandoning Big Show to die in the desert bit by rattlesnakes and then Big Show making himself some rattlesnake boots and carrying three Harleys on his shoulders and etc.

I remember that being funny (but very dumb) so I try to impart a spark of that humor to the modern people being very dumb.

I love how much Orange Cassidy acts as litmus test for how detached from reality a wrestling fan is. Like regardless of personal feelings on him he is objectively popular, and like it's not hard to see why if you have any awareness of what regular people find cool.

It is very fun watching the people who spend all day screaming about how "wrestling is the least important part of wrestling, story and character is the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS" who then turn around and drive themselves insane with anger over a guy whose entirely over because of his character work (and also the fact that he's a very good wrestler is basically a bonus on top of that)

Oc has done a spot where he pulls his glasses down to get a better look of something twice and I loved them both times.

One was when sunny kiss was twerking against billy gunn in a battle Royale

The other was when Sting did lazy king Kong chest pound while Darby was wrestling greg

It's loving insane how well WWE's trained these people to despise wrestling. It's literally the whole loving point of the show but they hate it so goddamn much. Do they genuinely actually want a 3 hour show where people just stand in the ring talking and nothing else?

He'd have way more dialogue, and 90% of it would be some variation on "So...THAT just happened."

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

Made the mistake of reading a Wrestling Inc recap for part of the show I missed last night, encountered this amazing comment:

a guy posting online at 4:22 am EST posted:

And no, the only 3 people that would be taller than me on the AEW roster is Lance Archer, Cass and Santam Singh.. Stop being triggered when someone tells the truth.. If TK focused more on building stars that look like adults instead of having Trent Barettas, Young Bucks, Nick Waynes, Adam Coles, Daniel Garcias, Pockets - They would be having way better ratings and attendance today..

I had no idea "actually I'm 7 foot tall and super jacked and handsome" was still a card people would pull to win online arguments.

Genuinely don't think they pay attention to it and are mostly on their phones retweeting takes or just rephrasing other takes they see.
