I’m not gonna link it cuz they don’t need hits. 411mania has been my go to wrestling site since the early aughts. As time went on, they started reporting dumb stuff using shady sources.
But I just read this article about Richard Holliday retiring. The headline is “Richard Holliday Announces Plan to Retire From Wrestling at End of the Year.”
The article is short and lists one single source, a tweet by Holliday
The tweet in question, transcribed by 411mania themselves EMOJIS and all, reads:
“I have decided to retire at the end of this year. My passion is simply not there the way it was at the beginning of my career. Too much work w/ no real payoff for me, so I’d like to put my focus into other projects. Thank you for the memories, Fantasy Football. ✊🏼🏈”
Are you kidding me? Yes, Holliday baited you in with the first part, but he is CLEARLY talking about fantasy football given the end of the tweet. Was this shit article written by AI that doesn’t understand misdirection?! I’m f***ing flummoxed.

411mania's quality went down the shitter since Larry Csonka died. Absolutely. Nothing against the site…but Larry was an incredibly good writer and wrestling fan. My favorite reviewer in the world. God bless him and his family. He was the real deal…talent and heart.

I used to go to 411 daily for Larry's take on shows and this thread makes me realise I haven't been in a year or two now. It just lost its appeal without the guy.
