you can hate on #WrestleMania all you want, but the exposure it brings so all of these indie guys can get work with more eyes on them than usual is such a boon.
I create live discussion threads on Reddit all the time for indie shows, so it's amazing to see them actually take off for once.
I'm just saying that wrestling IS supposed to follow some level of logic, and challenging a plot hole isn't a condemnation but a critique that the careful framing of a legitimate contest was broken
I'm not stabbing your dad in the face
everyone should want their wrasslin to write better.
like ok fine
the people who lost their ever loving goddamned minds and melted down like I'd said their grandma was a slut is the problem
I enjoy AEW, I attend AEW shows, I cover AEW and facilitate fan discussions
me: hey why isn't the ref counting
"BECAUSE REF DISCRETION, FUCK OFF AND DIE"
me: well that's an extreme reaction to asking why this match is broken
"WHY DO YOU HATE WRESTLING, GO BACK TO LICKING VINCE'S TAINT"
????
we've been in the same place for 13 years which I think is the biggest issue. it's the longest I've lived anywhere. I need to disrupt the comfort of it.
beyond that I am so ready for chaos, planning, change. the roots need cutting tho
we've got our funds sorted to finally buy our own place. we've been looking for ages just to get a feel for what is out there and what we do/don't want. but "what if we actually tried buying one tho" has not yet felt like... ready
I'm going to start packing stuff. then maybe I'll feel ready
And Now in Living Colour #vinylsky #nowspinning
The weirdest version of Cult of Personality that CM Punk uses needed to get purged from my brain. Also, Letter to a Landlord is the best song on this album. Which Way to America a close 2nd
I forgot to keep posting lol. Here it's Faith No More #vinylsky #nowspinning
Chosen by the husband because some Opeth riffs reminded him of this, somehow. Not gonna argue about it
Very long work day means delays in Opeth start #vinylsky #nowspinning
My 3 day weekend is kinda 2.5 but whatever
I always thought the Heir Apparent lyrics were "so many years to pray to Satan" lmao
When you have #siberiancats, using the oven is cruelty. Must curl up next to the cold bathtub
At least a Roxy has a nice plush rug in her icy paradise
Thx for the mention. Foo Fighters have some of my all-time faves. If you were stealing my passwords in the late 90s they were all Foo Fighters song titles
Excited for the new record.
Judas Priest. Halford may have not come out sooner but ffs this cover was its own pride flag #vinylsky #nowspinning
Title track is the tits. If you don't love it you aren't metal enough to come to my parties
Picked up the re-pressing because my copy is from the box set which for some reason didn't include the standard album jacket #vinylsky #nowspinning
I need at least 1 more beer before we get to Count of Tuscany
French progressive metal drop. The Old Dead Tree actually still lives #vinylsky #nowspinning
My Euro press is still lost in the mail, tracking number shows it in Minneapolis since November. Lol
But I support artists so... second tree it is
Shout. Shout. Shout. #vinylsky #nowspinning
I couldn't decide on another 80s pop album but this is close enough. Motley Crue was so damn fun
Lol I paid 65 cents for this at some point #vinylsky #nowspinning
There's a rasslin' show happening this weekend called Stand and Deliver so I've been DYING to purge the earworm
A screenshot from K-Bid titled: “Sexworld Store Closing Memorabilia / Dispensary Closing / Vintage Finds / Historic Items / New Computers / Art / ONE LOVE Rare Finds / Own a Piece of Minneapolis History (Click to View Lots)” and the listing is for a bucket and mop.
Hard pass on this from the Sexworld auction.
Kicking off my usual Thursday tunes with a bit of SOPHIE #vinylsky #nowspinning
I'm assuming tonight will veer towards metal so let's spend the start with batshit sine waves
have you looked at how much the size has changed between the OG mini cooper vs. today
zippy thimble weighing 2 ounces is now still somehow a zippy thimble at 3,000 lbs
me filing taxes: oh fuck that's a lot of money to pay in, that's so fucking annoying, ugh I hope we have no dumb tax headaches
government, nearly immediately: your returns have been accepted
what was I expecting, "we're skeptical of your giant payment to us" lol
One thing that's always fascinated me though, in r/DrewMcIntyre, everything non-WWE gets so little engagement, upvotes, etc. Even the stuff from before he was ever hired by WWE where you get to see him grow & mature.
Don't have this issue with any of the other fan subs.
I spent a chunk of time this weekend building back up my reserve list of match videos that I will trickle in over time as content for my wrestler fan subreddits.
It's funny when you're like "I did this last year, I'm really gonna have to scrub to find more" and then oh hey, 60 more matches found
I truly enjoy explaining Psycho Mike to the newbies, even as I realize just how much lore there is
Finishing up our late-T-alphabet run with my favorite 1992 weirdness #vinylsky #nowspinning
If you didn't know: T-Ride is a blend of hair metal, electronica, & layered half-prog shit. The songwriters went on to create Snake River Conspiracy, the OG version of "You & Your Friend" is on this album
pretty much
we see it constantly on Reddit but over there people get downvoted into oblivion when they have terrible doomer takes
that doesn't mean the weirdos don't keep showing up because they think any engagement is good engagement
ahahha hell yeah!
The late-T night continues, holy shit we're playing Tool that isn't Aenima #vinylsky #nowspinning
Watching Mystery Wrestling without sound & trying to gather the weird match stips from live chat is a challenge lol
Mystery Wrestling 23 starts at the top of the hour - free on Twitch & YouTube. It will be the most fun wrestling show you've ever watched*
*caveat that maybe some other Mystery Wrestling shows were funnier
Live chat with the gang
Staying in the late T section of the record shelf means it's Heavy Devy time #vinylsky #nowspinning
The only Townsend album I have tho because I'm here for Ms van Giersbergen, and OMG this album is SO FUCKIN FUN
I know they reissued this in the last year, this is my OG 1991 press #vinylsky #nowspinning
Tyketto wasn't necessarily anything super special but they really made some Foreigner/Journey arena style bangers about 6 years too late
