You can hide that 40 year old remnant of faded glory but you can’t hide from fate.

Imagine if you had to watch the Tigers beat your beloved Mariners, AND you had to watch Halloween Havoc 2000 and then, the third and most atrocious part of the trilogy is that you have to record a podcast with me the next day! Imagine that Blade! That’s the goddamn triangle of madness right there!

Dear god, I will start watching sports and believing in you if you just give me this one thing tonight. Amen.

VIOLENCE. VIOLENCE. VIOLENCE.

That's the only way to describe the Jon Moxley vs. Tomohiro Ishii match from #AEWDynamite. An absolute car crash of a fight and we loved every second of it. Our breakdown of the brutality is live now.

Just watched this last weekend and your analysis is spot on. Halfway through, I was cursing the film, life in general and my wife for choosing it - but once it started rolling, it was a BLAST! It’s terrible - I give it seven thumbs up. 😆

Thank you for writing it! Man… the feeling I got watching Mox enter though the Daily’s crowd this past Wednesday was indescribable. The perseverance and triumph of the human spirit!

“AEW never tapped out, never laid down for the pinfall. Instead, its roster stood tall and exited the lockdown hand in hand with the industry and community.”

Hell yes. This piece is worth your time.

AEW and Daily’s Place were my rock during lockdown - the one normal thing in a crazy world - so yes, I have a great deal of sentimental attachment to that place. Thanks for writing this article. I think you did them justice and said what a lot of us are feeling.

As longtime fans know, I've been drawing 8-bit movie posters for nearly a decade, and I'm pretty good at them. When I drew this one, though, I got that feeling like I hit a grand slam. It's one of my all-time favourite drawings, and one of my most popular! #Halloween

I’m of the mind that the third one is every bit as good as the first, but you can skip the second unless you’re a completist. Fourth one is pretty cool too.
