The Man claims another soul.
I mean, okay, but it's also one which makes sense, in context.
Personally, I don't have a whole lot of empathy for people who walk into a comedy set halfway through, and complain that they don't get the punchline to a joke that was set up during the half of the set that they missed; that's what this "The Man" criticism is, to me.

Another part of my childhood gone. I miss the old interview style vs the never ending promos of today. It lent some credibility in the age of kayfabe plus he could help get someone over who was a good worker but not as great on the mic.

I might have to give Philo another go to get AXS and watch tonight. I'm a bit behind on my NJPW.

Any thoughts on the emergence of All Elite Wrestling, backed by the Khan Family (owners of the Jacksonville Jaguars)
I despise CODY and The Bucks, so my interest is non-existant now. But with billionaire backers, can WWE actually have competition on the horizon?

On that note, a lot of speculation where Kenny Omega is going next. Stay in NJPW? WWE has apparently made a “fantastic offer”, and AEW has a similar offer on the table.

Who does all elite wrestling have that can draw?
As a workrate mark, in general, and a "scientific wrasslin" mark, in particular, the Bucks aren't really my taste. But I respect anybody who's doing well enough, just from working the indies, to be able to tell Vince, "**** you, we don't need your money; we're making more than you'd probably be willing to pay us, anyway, just doing the indies, and we get to keep all the money from our merch sales, and we get more time off than we would if we worked for you, and we have total control over our gimmick."
I also think that a lot of the people who are the most vocal critics of the Bucks may take wrasslin' too seriously.
I'll give AEW a shot.
Impact just had their last episode on POP and their new network isn't available to cordcutters best I can tell (also not on Comcast or Spectrum either). So I'll likely have room if they get a deal that is watchable for me.

I think I watched one episode after they moved to POP.

Their best episode on POP was supposed to be live, but POP screwed up and showed nearly 2 hours of looping commercials largely featuring That 70’s Show.
If you haven't watched that Andrade/Misterio match yet, what the **** are you waiting for?

That was bananas.

This could be great.
More likley it follows the boring 2/3 falls trope of the heel getting a fast roll-up pin (that never works in any other match ever) and Mysterio follows with a super quick 619 (that would be avoided in any other match ever) before they go to the third where they properly tear it up again.
The majority of 2/3 falls matches follow some kind of predictable trope. I would just hope that they are given enough time to put on a full display of what they can do.
YOOOOOO!
Word on the street is that Rousey will be taking an indeterminate amount of time off after Mania, to start a family, and may be considering complete retirement. If she doesn't do the honors on her way out, I will be one angry bit of produce.

Well that’s a shame (for wrestling, not for her) because she had a Kurt Angle like knack for this crazy business.
You’d think she’d for sure do the honors, but with WWE you never know
