Kyle O'Reilly looks like he has been wandering through the Upper West Side of Manhattan trying to find a bodega selling a specific flavor of 5-Hour Energy.

It would erase the LGBTQ+ community and activists fighting for real positive change there. Queer and trans people in Southern states aren't disposable. You said it better than I've been trying to say it. Far too often the online discourse when reacting to stupid legislation or what have you is basically either pretending that red and purple states don't also have LGBTQ+ folks or being like "well just move" which is unhelpful at best and downright patronizing at worst.

As a West Virginians who bleeds Old Gold and Blue and vehemently defends this state against the stupidity of stereotypes and such while also being continually disappointed because I KNOW my state can do and be better? Goddamn did I feel this. Ohioan with WV blood, now in NH. I've had entirely too many conversations with folks who seemingly expect me to publicly denounce my upbringing and/or Appalachian heritage. Or variations of "If you cared, you'd leave." I'm sorry, you can't expect us *all* to move to NYC, Seattle, or California, but I digress. It also reminds me of how folks were far quicker to dismiss the Charleston crowd outright the other week, as if there haven't been any other places where a handful of idiots have chanted stupid shit during Dynamite.

While I get the idea behind basically boycotting the state in response to this, I've always found that a bit unfair to fans who just happen to live there, especially when this is BS from an unelected position as was pointed out. It's one of my big bugaboos when people are like "this state is entirely bad and needs to be shunned from the world entirely" as folks frequently are when stupidity like this goes out, but that's another rant for another time.
What I'd rather see, would be if there are any sorts of events that they could run that *wouldn't* fall under the auspices of the athletic commission, like a fan festival or basically a non-wrestling event. You're still supporting the fans but it's still an appropriate middle finger to the state government if done properly.

It's insane how much different Hook looks with that coat and the beanie down over his face.

He’s yelling at Chris like he’s a bad doggy Now I'm just imagining wrestlers trying to keep Jericho away from their segments with the little spray bottles.

I think my stream is lagging behind the broadcast, but man I want to see Taz choke out Jericho like he did with Cody.

There's two reasons they aren't in my Horsemen. One, because there aren't good CAWs of them. Two, what do you do with them besides 'Win the Tag Titles'? They can talk about their kids and Bret Hart and about how they would die for this business, and how they have the best tag matches and…..uh… What was that Bob Holly quote again, give 'em the titles and then they beat everybody?

FTR Bald: "I THINK YOU'RE BOTH A COUPLE A... COUPLE A SILLY BOYS AND I DON'T LIKE THAT. MY DAUGHTER WATCHES ME AND MY BUDDY CASH ON COLLISION AND SHE GOES DADDY YOU'RE NOT SILLY YOU'RE A WRESTLER I HAVE A FAMILY EVERYONE LIVE LAUGH LOVE FOR LIFE" Two thoughts... One, someone needs to do a 'shop of that old Sonic meme of the SWATbot with the "NO FUN ALLOWED" sign except with Bald, and two, I never realized how much Dax embodies the dreadfully dull "my hobbies are Pottery Barn and my family" live-laugh-loveitude.

Hang on I'm making an analysis video on why Matt Jackson punking out Schiavone there is a total shoot, lemme call up my body language interpreter to tell me why Schiavone is actually saying AEW is dying Make sure your thumbnail looks like John Madden drew all over it.

I do like how the EVPS dress like 1930s chauffeurs I can't recall if they ever teamed or interacted on-screen in TNA, but it's almost a bizarre throwback reference to the Okato days.

At some point there needs to be a Crazy Eyes supercut between Cope and Gowron. So if Cope is Gowrin, is Christian, Martok? Cope's already dabbled in acting, now I kinda want to see him cameo in Strange New Worlds as a Klingon purely to see how much he looks like Gowron.

I've been out of the loop, are there any other trans indie wrestlers of note that could be brought in, either to be signed or just as guests? I'd love to see the mental hunancanranas that would occur if these idiots had to wrap their heads around, say, Nyla vs. a trans dude as part of a mixed tag match.

Mox feels like he needs juuuuust a slightly longer guard when buzzing his head. But maybe I'm just used to how scruffy he's always looked and this is honestly probably the most spit and polished he's looked in ages. It's by no means a bad look, just different.

There's a part of me that would absolutely love to see TK call their bluff and be like "let's see your punitive action, dipshits", because it's entirely probable that they could respond in a way that would open up the state for their own legal challenge (and I'd almost be willing to bet TK can get better lawyers than OK), and also because there's damn near no straightforward way to deal with these idiots and they'll somehow feel emboldened no matter what you do which is the aggravating part. So I'd almost just advocate doing whatever will piss them off more.

[/div][/quote]Aha. Well by this time, the media seemed to mostly look down on 80s SatAM fare in general, from the condescending pieces I saw on Newspapers.com. [/quote] As a bit of a tangent, it's kind of amazing how downright patronizing a lot of review articles were for stuff that's looked upon fondly these days. Search for reviews of Star Wars circa 1977 and you'll find plenty of utterly dismissive reviews. Yes, ANH is by no means a perfect movie and there's always a nostalgia factor in play nowadays, but some of the reviews read like they were never intending on giving it a chance anyway... though that's relatively par for the level of contempt that "genre" of any kind got in that time period.

I'm not unconvinced that Angel Hernandez isn't doing it on purpose to see how flagrantly bad he can be. Makes me feel for the umpires who are genuinely good at calling like Pat Hoberg because of clowns like this.
Also, the Yankees bore the hell out of me and I hate that they always seem to have Cleveland's number when they come by.
