Sorry, but no show again this week. It would not be good for the voice.

I'll be back next week.

Enjoy Crown Jewel. Complete with female talent in their regular gear.

The Peacock deal was so good for WWE in terms of money & exposure that it's very revealing how they eventually settled on doing the bare minimum.

This weekend show is very lackluster, no title matches, another thin 5 match card. They have to do bigger cards with at least 7 matches but they don’t try anymore

Lacey Lane is obviously not the biggest competitor in pro wrestling, but the AEW presentation does her a lot of favors size-wise compared to the WWE presentation which made her look so tiny.

When it happened in Kent, it enhanced the match. It was the outlier of fans chanting during matches.

Jim Valley FKOR @jimvalley.bsky.social · 7d

Barely any Kyle chants, let alone ALL the Kyle chants like a few months ago when Fletcher faced O'Reilly in Kent, WA.

Washington State > Florida

The crowd on the stage at Daily's Place looks like a ride picture on The Tower of Terror.

Maxine Dupree's match with Becky wasn't good, but it was over.

Maxine Dupree's skill is not WWE level, but she's over.

Maxine Dupree's over because she's unique. WWE doesn't do underdog stories.

Fans see she's not quite there and they root for her because she's relatable and likeable

By sheer coincidence we're going to land in Nashville the same day as AEW is in town.

My friends we're having Thanksgiving with want to go to wrestling with me. I swear this is not my idea (not that I'm unhappy about it). They want to see me "in (my) element".

Bonus: they want T-shirts.

Congratulations! Was year 2 dramatically better than year 1?

It's my 1-year kidney-versary. Doctors say the first transplant year is critical. I'm thankful to have reached this point.

As grateful as I am to my doctors and family, I'm also grateful for my @wrestlingobserver.bsky.social family.

Your support means more than you will ever know.

Had dinner with Scott Walton, a great guy.

His dad, Jeff, was involved in wrestling for years at The Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, other venues and territories.

We met Disney CEO Bob Iger and President of Parks and Resorts Josh D'Maro at The Disneyland Hotel.

Don't be silly. I'm not trolling. He's clearly built a very successful legacy and fanbase.

This is not meant to be snarky. Just results at Disney's California Adventure one random evening.

My friend wore a CM Punk shirt and of the handful of people who positively acknowledged the shirt, all were young, petite brunettes probably late teens or early 20s.

Punk's still got it.

I don't get it. Cyber Trucks aren't intimidating.

My throat doc doesn't want me to do a show for at least one more week.

Sorry, I didn't realize the procedure was going to be so different this time.

I'll keep you posted.

Around Redmond, home of Microsoft, they're all over the place.

Seems like a high price for such shoddy craftsmanship.

Jim Valley FKOR @jimvalley.bsky.social · 14d

Thank goodness it didn't rain. Everyone would have had to push the Cyber Truck.

At least get a vehicle with some power and intimidation.

What are they going to do? Break off pieces of the CT as foreign objects?

I saw someone on one of those contrarian subreddits try to claim that Hangman Page and Kyle Fletcher weren't draws. This was right after the strong buyrate for #AEWAllOut was released.

These ppl don't follow the business, they just make up bullshit while calling others liars.

Anyone thinking about or planning on going to Wrestle Kingdom?

NGL, I'm starting to entertain the idea...
