At local art fair, some one had masks, the amount of looks from my niece and nephew when I asked if they had an Ultimo dragon or super Delfin mask (they had had twenty of axel dieter jr’s fake luchador masks)

It’s a real fun spin on the bullet heaven within the kung fu movie concept. You basically put together your fight scene combo and unlock environmental fighting. Real fun imo.

he's threatening a retirement match, i think he's as sick of it as everyone else is (or he has another plan/plans to ride tbb's coattails)

mike spears @spearsovations.bsky.social · 1d

finished this this morning. linda/nakajima was alright, don't think nakajima's schtick ever worked here except from like the t-hawk match.

boy do i have some takes on the state of this company and funny how it's a two voice gate week and we're recording in a few hours. hmm.

mike spears @spearsovations.bsky.social · 2d

why would you only turn off the house lights over the very last section, and not the rest of the arena which is even more depleted? why that's the gleat experience baby

the exact wrong person to be on this show is kuroshio tokyo japan and my gosh he went to the back of the orange bleachers and disaster averted, they do have like a hundred people back there and it's not tarped.

mike spears @spearsovations.bsky.social · 2d

it is unfortunate to report that shinya aoki vs t-hawk rocked, although t-hawk is the last person still wearing stronghearts gear.

mike spears @spearsovations.bsky.social · 2d

i still don't know their deal with gotanda tdch but they only get about FACE level numbers there. i will give them credit, for this sparse and weird of a show, they got the people on the e/w bleachers making it feel less like a graveyard.

barb sasaki has gotten the biggest call of the night so far if you were wondering who is over on a october 2025 g something show.

mike spears @spearsovations.bsky.social · 2d

i guess like the north bleachers maybe push into the wall and the beige scrim is the only way to cover it up and the black "stage" is permanent?

some rando who is based in dubai was flown out for a 3 minute opener against ibushi's friends. everyone emerged from the beige curtains. kaiji tomato pinned ryo aitaka in a bad affair. everyone is worse for being here.

mike spears @spearsovations.bsky.social · 2d

sincerely, this is the most haunted and cursed this promotion has ever felt. they don't even have entrance gates so people are just emerging from the beige curtains. like a wrestling black lodge.

Most desolate korakuen hall set up ever. Real closed venue 2020 vibes here.

The Gleat korakuen hall set up. It has none of the typical north bleachers set up and only three rows of ringside seats. It’s very depressing and reminds you of Covid era puroresu.

when UNC scored on the first possession of the first game and Colin Cowherd immediately posted this, and then UNC lost by 34

Wasn’t really sure what to expect from Chapel Bill. But after that drive, I have him as second best college coach I’ve ever seen, just below Saban.

Folks need her crossover on doctor odyssey (that was a perfect tv show)

mike spears @spearsovations.bsky.social · 5d

Doctor Odyssey was a perfect tv show because everything happened each week and they ran out of nautical catastrophes.

Chris Cantwell @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social · 5d

Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.
