THE STORY OF HANGMAN ADAM PAGE, NATIVE PLANT LOVER AND AEW'S MAIN CHARACTER

We begin, as we often do, with a web-show started by a group of friends as a travel-vlog.

"Being The Elite", said web-show, gains popularity, which in turn increases the popularity of its already famous stars.

Like the Girl Scout who set up selling cookies right in front of a dispensary.

I don't know how you can even be mad. Sell where your customers are.

Yeah, this feels like 3 cities finding and embracing their respective identities.

Finally was able to get my anti-depressant medication refilled after 2 days of going without, and now, having just taken it.

I can feel it. I can feel the anti-depression power! It's....coursing through my veins.

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

And in reality, I think that's basically the best possible answer.

I asked a bunch of people from the then-Talking Chop like 10 years ago on Twitter "Who would win in a fight between all of you?" and I forget who it was, but everyone basically ignored me except for one person who was just like: "Why would we fight? We all like each other"

Also: as a Bucs fan who was EXTREMELY low on them signing him 2+ years ago, at this point, I'd commit crimes for Baker Mayfield.

Not like, huge crimes or anything. But like: I would bribe a customs official for Baker Mayfield.

My big theory is that WWE releasing Swerve and seeing him blow up and sign a big money contract shook them to their core. They don't want that to happen again. It's traumatic to them.

Dead OR Alive?!? In this economy!?!?

I think the Bucs offense probably can't keep bailing out their defense, even when they get back to close to full health, but there's nobility in their effort to do so.

He's probably a Bears fan, so football season likely only makes him more belligerent.

It was important for Hangman's character, absolutely yes, but also, two wrestlers were both politicking for the OTHER GUY TO WIN THE FEUD, AND IT HAD TO BE SETTLED BY A THIRD PARTY.

That's borderline unprecedented in wrestling, and it's the sort of thing at the top of a company that filters down

It's why my third biggest regret with the Hangman thread, after getting the show he won his first title on wrong and some formatting/spelling mistakes, is not including the Hangman/Ospreay feud at all.

guy, and that Savage told the heel team, basically: "My back's a bit messed up right now, so nothing on the floor or off the top rope. Other than that, I'm game for whatever you want to do" and then Savage bumped like a madman throughout the match.

Just total class.

and the original plan was for Storm to be the face in peril for most of the match with Savage just sitting on the apron, get the hot tag, and then hit like 2 moves, elbow drop, win the match, and Savage insisted that HE be the face in peril and Storm should get the hot tag, because he was the local

In a business where a LOT of people can behave really selfishly to "protect their spot", it's extra important to shine a light on people who don't do that.

I remember when Macho Man died, Lance Storm told a story about Savage doing a one-off in Smokey Mountain for a tag match,

This applies to you too, Starfish.

I know it doesn't seem like it sometimes, but you're doing better than you think.

I'm proud of you.

I'm 40 years old and a dad of two, so let me say this:

I'm unofficially adopting every Bluesky user who isn't an obnoxious asshole, effective immediately.

I'm your new dad, and I know you're struggling, but I can see how hard you're working to improve yourself.

I'm really proud of you.

I think "Belt Collector" gimmicks can be extremely hit or miss, but I think Mercedes is one that absolutely hits because she is someone who is willing to show up and wrestle in front of 80 people at an indie show when she is absolutely famous enough to not have to do that.

Well, yes, but also, they want 2023 levels of employment and 2006 wealth growth, but without the Great Recession come down. And all of it extremely heavily subsidized by the government via ZIRP.

Basically, they want no trade-offs to anything.

These people's concept of economics is so bad, I'm tempted to become a Randian out of pure spite.

The video of a bunch of heavily armed and geared up ICE agents backing away from a dancing inflatable frog is ridiculously embarrassing for ICE.
