Netflix as the lesser of two evils versus the Ellisons as the potential WBD buyers might distract from what is still an insanely miserable bit of corporate consolidation. A slophouse run by people with some of the most depressing outlooks on the future of film and TV.

Does anyone know where I'd be able to find the Giant Baba special that aired on NTV in 2009?

The Triple H selfie thing is a really underrated aspects of why modern WWE is bad. Every debut or new champion has to get the lame endorsement from an overrated guy who sucks. Also feels like it’s actually about “take a look at MY booking” rather than the person themselves.

Since I have the relevant data, I did deep dive into the key part of the WON HOF candidacy of Kevin, Kerry, and David Von Erich as a unit: The gates WCCW drew in 1983. I went in w/o preconceived notions, and the results are...interesting. But there are question marks about how the criteria applies.
World Class's 1983 by the numbers: Does it make the Von Erichs Hall of Famers?
Since I actually have all of the relevant data for a key Observer Hall of Fame candidate, I should probably do this

One of my favorite post WWE interviews ever. You get the full scope of how much of a “dumb guy who thinks they’re smart” Black really is. The socks, saying Vince liked him and it wasn’t his call to release him, saying Heyman told him his issue is he’s “too smart and creative”. Beautiful shit.
Does anyone have the clip saved from when Aleister Black was streaming on Twitch right after WWE fired him in 2021, a fan mentioned that it looked like he was color coordinating his socks as part of whatever his grand creative plan was, and then Tom lit up like FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS MY GENIUS?

Great moments in @btsheetspod.bsky.social Patreon history:
In which Paul Heyman seemingly pretends to be an Australian newsletter reader so he could write a letter to the Observer about how awesome he is.

When I say he is making a very obvious effort to do this he literally shocked the commentary team last Saturday I think when he went to do the promo. Its something that means a lot to him seemingly.
Mistico has made sure to close just about every show where he is on last now with some variation of "we are the only authentic Mexican lucha"

You say that like it's weird for the most penny pinching version of WWE in its history to routinely sign women from Vince's 2/3rds life crisis era to Legends contracts where they get paid to do absolutely nothing for WWE

Numbered console generations were made up by a random Wikipedia user in 2004 in an attempt to standardize the "__ era game console" articles, and nobody ever corrected it. It's nonsense that no actual historian uses and you have permission to ignore it
