We're cooked, folks.

Misinformation, disinformation, dwindling education standards, bigotry, division, and amplification of violent rhetoric have cost us our sensibility.

I truly have no idea how we find it. Just awful times that are going to follow us for decades to come.

Very cool that our job reports are just going to be straight up fabricated going forward.

Absurdly impeachable offenses committed on almost the daily. Just another day in America.

Literally everything is more expensive than this time last year.

My very essential medication to prevent pre-cancerous cells from growing went from a $5 co-pay to $30.

Grocery bill is up at least 15%.

But hey, at least we have two official pronouns now.

I never met Hogan. I never particularly cared for him as a performer, but don't deny his importance and acknowledge why he connected with so many.

I know many in the industry who loved him, many who despised him.

More than anything, I hope his family is at peace.

I don't think Hulk Hogan's legacy is complicated: his personal life played out on a very public stage, and his persona and character are deeply embedded in pop culture.

He provided a lot of joy, and also caused *a lot* of hurt. I appreciate those who have brought both to light.

I'm not sure I have thoughts on Hulk Hogan's death that will ultimately contribute much to the public discourse, but I will say I have really appreciated reading a lot of thoughtful pieces today that have taken a deep dive into his place in culture, for better or for worse.

A #TNA official tells me the floor is sold-out for Slammiversary.

They estimate it will be TNA’s most-attended show in the last decade, and the company is projecting internally it may end up being its most-attended U.S. show ever.

I don’t have the total tix sold at this moment.

While this is true, goodwill is an enormous part of any long-form storytelling is paying off earned action.

Imagine if the Avengers lost in Infinity War AND End Game. Would anyone care what happened next at the same level of investment?

Not ROH. Maybe AEW.

But AEW will be negotiating its next media rights deal within the next year and a half or so in all likelihood.

“Is this a sports interview, or is this therapy?”

@hangmanpage.bsky.social , six years in, is still discovering why he matters in #AEW. He opened up about how he navigates that in my new piece for The Takedown on SI ahead of All In.
