The Dodgers are a good team. 2023, a couple innings away from going up 3-1 in the NLCS and blowing it against an inferior team, that was worse.

Since these prompts never really pop up on here I wanted to share this post I made about 4 wrestlers that I think don't get nearly enough credit or attention & that I think should be booked everywhere!

That’s saved me from a lot of feet based harassment over the years 😄

Alan Keiper @alkeiper.bsky.social · 1d

Gallows was nice. Snitsky was nice too though his politics are polar opposite of mine. He didn’t ask to see my feet either.

Alan Keiper @alkeiper.bsky.social · 1d

That’s going to make Luke Gallows sad!

Alan Keiper @alkeiper.bsky.social · 1d

And Snitsky isn’t aging? 😄

All I hear in my head is Wharf Arts Center

The Wharf Arts Center from Bobs Burgers. It looks like the San Jose Center for Performing Arts. Except it was “Wharf Arts Center” on it. When you say it fast it sounds like farts.

This is the best we’re getting. It’s not the ten best. It’s really twelve. But besides that it’s covers that I enjoy enough to advocate for, that I feel real emotion listening to. But it’s by no means exhaustive.

Sophie Ellis Bextor - Do You Remember the First Time?
Tori Amos - Famous Blue Raincoat
Robyn Hitchcock - Parasite
Sia - Paranoid Android
Cat Power - Ballad of a Thin Man

Sinead O’Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
Luluc - Things Behind the Sun
Aimee Mann - Avalanche

I went to a wedding and after 30 minutes of listening to the groomsmen talk about Penn State football figured out the whole social thing is overrated anyway.

And sometimes there’s a concert that’s not too loud

Relatable 💛

Building real human connections is difficult, especially as adults. But you’re pretty cool and you’re loved.

Alan Keiper @alkeiper.bsky.social · 2d

Fun fact. @swoprowrestling.bsky.social is just down I-83 and to the best of my knowledge isn’t run by chuds.

Alan Keiper @alkeiper.bsky.social · 2d

Are there other kinds?

Alan Keiper @alkeiper.bsky.social · 3d

Ok but…what about Ed, Edge and Eddie?

Cristopher Sanchez led the Phillies in bWAR and I think that’s accurate. For as wonderful a season Kyle Schwarber had Sanchez was the most valuable player on the club.

Lot of discourse in the feed about comedy lately. Luckily in my hometown we have a comedy club in a casino and next weekend we get to see a good comedian. He goes on after @thedanbarry.bsky.social apparently.

Looking for a wrestling school. Check out Cheeseburger’s Worldwide Dojo in Bristol, PA.

Explaining to my sister in law that pro wrestling is exactly like Downton Abbey because we have a wrestler named “Baron Minde.”
