One of those evenings where I deeply regret choosing wrestling as the thing I am really good at writing about.

I can, but he was a dentist at the time

It was WrestleMania X7, specifically Vince vs. Shane.

I don’t. Keep that man as far away from modern slop as possible!

Hogan: The people just saw something in me, brother, and Vince saw it too.

Herzog: When I look into your eyes I see neither humanity nor the sleek engine of American capitalism, but an ecstatic truth that has grown so large it has turned back on its teller, corroding the soul.

also I am begging someone to let me show him an exploding barbwire cage match

having werner herzog be in the hulk hogan doc but not direct it is a similar cowardice to having werner herzog be in a star wars but not direct one

The same people who dream of Vince re-buying it somehow cannot fathom the thought of richer people than Vince doing the same despite having put together the fourth place bid before its assets were devalued.

I guess in terms of universal renown, perhaps, but as a worker Flair shares a lot in common with Elvis, up to and including entering their hour-long spectacles to Also sprach Zarathustra.

Bret Hart is incorrect about Hulk Hogan being the Elvis Presley of professional wrestling. That’d be Ric Flair.

Sometimes I miss being a wrestling journalist, and sometimes I see a phrase like “Sami Zayn’s Kill Tony set” and am glad to have been put out of my misery.

Thanks Barret ur right 🌍

The Tubs Announce Merge Signing With Jangle Pop Metallica Cover The Tubs! They’re one of the best bands going, and they just signed to one of the finest labels in indie rock. After two albums for the late, great Chicago institution Trouble In Mind, the London jang...

This signing + cover is a little too demographically targeted at me

We are so excited to share that the Welsh janglepop band, The Tubs, have joined the Merge Records family! In celebration– check out their tubular cover of Metallica’s “Fade to Black” and their UK/EU tour dates!

"The fans love it, don't they?" "They do, god help them."

The Tubs announce their signing to @mergerecords.bsky.social with a jangle pop cover of @metallica.com's "Fade To Black"

Listening to The Tubs. Music: it’s good.

Screenshot of the “followers” page of the IG account “trianglequeerfilm” showing that Muscle Distribution follows the account. So cool, tres chic.

not playing around, lmao

Legit can’t wait. Green Knight was the first movie I saw after getting out of the mental hospital a few years back and it was transcendent/made me stronger very early in getting back to “normal,” so my expectations are a little wild, probably.

We’re announcing it on Friday but suffice to say that you should go on and follow that IG account.

I’m being coy but I’m really looking forward to announcing this thing that @harriet42.bsky.social has worked incredibly hard to make happen.

Oh thank goodness, I’d seen so many negative or mediocre reviews that I was worried, having loved green knight

Probably a better strategy than having their world champion talk about how it’s an honor to be harassed by them.

Will Ospreay vs. Bryan Danielson Isn't the Best Match Ever According to some, Will Ospreay and Bryan Danielson had the greatest match of all time at AEW Dynasty 2024. It was certainly a lot of wrestling, but how does it shake out?

Also, it's the two year anniversary of Bryan Danielson vs. Will Ospreay, so I took the paywall down on this very longform exploration of the match from 2025. One of the best things I've written for BIG EGG, imo: www.bigeggwrestling.com/will-ospreay...

According to Phish fans it is the most technologically impressive concert venue in the world but mostly I just think it’s fun and funny that the visuals looked a lot like 90s concession stand ads, which was a clear influence!

ah, the tyranny of virtue!

This overtakes him holding the Applebees Brewtus cup as my fav pic lmao

Hahaha, of course. Had nothing to do with how much my work schedule has had me lagging on big egg 😉. (Video is sick tho)
