Shit like this is why I feel like I'm constantly running into a brick wall when it comes to feeling like I'm working in a credible field sometimes. No shade to Sean and the other good souls at Fightful, but this coming from someone at the head of a huge name in the field erodes the foundation.

David Bixenspan @davidbix.bsky.social · Aug 4

Time to cancel Fightful Select.

Sorry, Sean. This is absolutely not your fault, but I can't give a cent to this guy anymore.

Jimmy Van on X, The Everything App:

---

I feel the need to clarify since the Internet is rampant with misinformation. By Janel Grant’s own admission in the Vince McMahon lawsuit, Brock Lesnar did nothing illegal. There was no encounter between the two. Was his conduct unethical? Yes, allegedly. But illegal? No.

Good on SRS for saying something about this on his post-show stream.

But I just cancelled my subscription and listed this as the reason.

I like SRS, Kate, and a few other folks there a lot. But this is bullshit.

Someone sent the tweet to Sean during his post-show live stream and...yeah.

"I can't control what Jimmy says. I wish I could, because I wouldn't have him saying ridiculous bullshit like that."

If you're constantly angry that journalists sit on stories until they can publish them in a book, Hulk Hogan is the reason why.

David Bixenspan @davidbix.bsky.social · Jul 25

This @fastcompany.com article about the legacy of Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker is well worth a few minutes of your time.

Hulk Hogan changed media forever with his Gawker lawsuit

The superstar athlete, who died on Thursday, cast a long shadow over the world of professional wrestling—and a far more ominous one over the world of internet publishing.

Revisited a post about how Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” set the standard for wrestling theme music, in case you wanna watch The Road Warriors smash some motherfuckers tonight.

www.bigeggwrestling.com/black-sabbat...

Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" Is Wrestling's Greatest Theme Song

When Black Sabbath recorded "Iron Man," they accidentally set a bar for wrestling theme music that hasn't been reached since the Road Warriors adopted it.
