The thing that got an immediate reaction out of me at the start was holy gently caress, Bas Rutten and Johnny Knoxville look downright geriatric.

Knoxville stopped dyeing his hair. Also, decades of alcohol and drug abuse take their toll.

the reason foley stopped doing commentary is because he would put a lot of effort into it talk to the wrestlers before the show and do some research and it would all be undone within seconds because vince would scream into his ear piece at any given moment if he said something vince hated

I went and look up the details, and le sigh. This business is just full of children who can't take being told 'No.' They have to be catty about it, and then the other immature assholes overreact because if they don't others will think they are weak or something, and just...sigh.

(I think of how Batista was sleeping with Melina Perez and her boyfriend John "I have had a dozen last names" Hennigan was supposedly 'okay' with it, probably in a "If I make waves I'll get fired and so will Melina because Batista is a top star and a workout buddy of Triple H so I'll just accept it", and instead of people getting cross with Batista and Melina for cheating on their SO's, they instead looked down on HENNIGAN for being 'a wimp' and 'not fighting for his woman' and other poo poo like that. They of course just wholly ignored the LAST time something like that happened, with Adam Copeland, Amy Dumas, and Matt Hardy. Hardy did raise a giant stink; it got him fired at first, and ultimately it ended up launching EDGE'S career rather than doing much of anything for Matt's)

This real glass thing is such a stupid carny instinct.

I like the *idea* and visual of someone swantonning through a pane of glass, I don't want to also worry that they're going to slice through a major artery and bleed out in a matter of minutes.

During the lead up to his final match my friend and I were talking about Sting and his useless WWE run and we were both completely lost as to why when they had the chance they never did a Sting - Undertaker match. Allergy to money, I suppose.

they would have probably done it if sting hadnt got injured and it would have been awful because neither of them would have been able to put a great match and it would have ended with taker burying sting as a final gently caress you to WCW. Sting made the right choice to only do tag teams in his AEW run because it allowed him to play off a younger wrestler and do some cool spots without embarrassing himself completely

They didn't have a real chance to do it before he got injured. They could have done that at Sting's debut Mania (instead of HHH) or a non-Mania show, but money-wise it was probably smart plan to save it for the next Mania.

There are lots of things to jump through that look cool but don't potentially slice you up, ranging from a stack of cardboard boxes to a stack of foam blocks. i don't really give a poo poo about what a wrestler lands on after they jump from something really tall tbh

The best part about sugar glass is that after you jump through it you can distribute all the shards to children in the front row so they can have a delicious treat :)

I seem to remember Sting suggesting to WWE that they do him vs. Undertaker in a cinematic match, but they weren't interested and that's what pushed him towards signing with AEW.

Sting's entire run in AEW was not only to give the guy the justice he deserves but is also 100% a gigantic middle finger to WWE for the way they treat people like Sting

People can poo poo on TK and the EVPs all they want but they really are changing the business for the better. Legends like Sting deserve exactly what he got and meanwhile I remember when Kurt Angle retired he had to put over Baron Corbin. Baron loving Corbin
