For those too young to remember, the PTC was a right-wing media watchdog group that complained about SINFUL TV and drove Vince so crazy he started a parody stable called "Right to Censor" which included the Godfather becoming the GOODfather.
Like, Kota Ibushi was a guy who was 38 and looked 23 and was seemingly indestructable, and now five years later if you told me he has come down with Polio I'd go "This was expected."
Kota Ibushi is one of those insane humans where for 20 years they appeared to never age and be immune from physical harm, and then one day it's like the Final Destination specter of death says "Oh fuck, I forgot about that guy" and the backlog of maladies hits them all at once.

I will say the first episode of that podcast, where he talks to his now ex-wife and she spends an hour coldly, calmly, and savagely telling him how he ruined her life as he meekly is like "I hear you" because he needs to do this to attempt a comeback, is car crash entertainment.
I dunno, maybe AEW feels like Ned Fulmer can capture that Kevin Federline/Logan Paul "Oddly famous guy who everyone hates is secretly an incredible wrestling heel" magic, but I wouldn't bet on lightning striking the same place three times.
Any time you can can help the attempted career relaunch (He just started a podcast where he talks to other people who ruined their lives) of the most boring, least talented member of a group of niche e-celebs, famous for being someone everyone now hates, you jump to do it.
Like, on the list of canceled people, his offenses are in the bottom quarter (Although cheating on a spouse with your employee, not exactly cool!) but even from a cold hearted business perspective...what social cache is there be gained by working with this guy?
I've been having vision problems lately and this story has made me think they're some kind of slow acting gift from God. Lord keep making these things harder to read.

ICYMI: Last night I wrote the second part of my HOF column, even longer than the first, with the only Sabu/Chess comparison you'll see this season. All free!
My first of two columns on this years' Observer HOF. See who I voted for. 7,500+ just talking wrestling instead of worrying about it for once. www.patreon.com/posts/139983...
I think that is an interesting theory, and I think wrestling fans might be more likely, if they do get selected, to want to "Help the business" in a way that a fan of Guy's Grocery Games wouldn't be.

- The two acts I'm likely adding to my ballot this year. - The person I'm mad isn't already in. - A CM Punk take designed to make every side angry with me. - The person with the most interesting case that we know so little about.

I hope everyone's ready for over 7,500 words about the Observer HOF. Editing it now. And it's only part one of TWO. Peak geek shit. No fretting, just talkin' shop.
Everything related to wrestling this week is ending up one to two thirds smaller than people hoped for. It's a phenomenon previously known as "Having sex with Trevor Dame."
