Ric Flair came to my hometown, tried to do a bunch of blow in the bathroom after what I assume is his grandkid's graduation, but the kitchen manager was sitting in the stall. Ric asked him to poo poo faster, the manager told him to gently caress off, and this is where we ended up.

Also my sources are telling me that of that $1500 tab only $200 was for food

I looked at the menu prices and unless he had like 40 people with him, $1500 seems like too much

There have been a lot of rule changes over the years for various reasons, to make stuff less boring, to appease insane politicians or commissioners, etc, right now there's a lot of great MMA. Some of it is at risk of going out of business but there's lots of great fights if you want them and even if you are sick of Dana White and don't really want to watch UFC.

Also standup rules and standardized gear requirements so Royce Gracie couldn't grab onto his Gi for leverage

It's cute that Mercedes has of all things the One Night Stand 2007 poster on her wall. I remember that one clearly mostly because it took me years to realize it wasn't just Bobby Lashley's face. And of course she picked a good person to train with. :hai:

Edit: Oh, is this Tyler Breeze's school? That's even funnier. What a specific choice.

OK, if all wrestlers are getting as paid as well well as Riho then I take back any thing I've said about being bummed about AEW poaching talent from promotions, because that's just absolute insanity & everyone should get that bag if they can, even if it means I can't watch them for a few years.

random reddit user posted:

Riho Saying She Made Over 60 Million Yen (~$400k) in AEW Last Year on TV Asashi

Has anyone seen Riho`s interview on TV Asashi`s Pinkiri? She was talking about Visa issues that prevent her from coming to America right now and she was also asked how the money is in AEW compared to Japan and she revealed that she is making way more money than in her last Stardom run, saying that she made over 60 Million yen in 2023 (~$400k) which is quite shocking given that she has only wrestled like 10 times. Good for her but it seriously makes you think how AEW can afford those salaries.
