At the beach. A bunch of teenage girls are laughing about a guy interested in one of them is, "too into videogames he doesn't do anything social" and uh if I'm that guy I would start being more social because that's literally the only criticism they had about him.

I saw the posts about PRODUCE and Joey Janela. So much of that feels like it could have been fixed with a phone call and I really don't know why fucking promoters don't do that over text messages that will most certainly be screenshotted if no resolution is met.

The merger shouldn't happen. This antitrust trial should lead to the bankruptcy of Oracle, which will cause a chain reaction destroying the stock market for AI leveraged companies. Paramount and Warner Bros. will both end up going to auction, likely in pieces, but it's still a better outcome.

Paramount & Warner Bros antitrust trial is set for March 2 • Because the merger won't close before Oct 1, Paramount will accrue ~$1.3B in ticking fees, payable to WB shareholders if the merger closes • Paramount would instead owe a $7B regulatory termination fee if the deal is ultimately blocked

Terry started getting more respect in the 2000s, especially due to shoot tapes and like you said Mick Foley's books, and the rise of ECW being constantly in documentaries. But I honestly think it fully changed with the TERRY FUNK AIN'T WEAR NO MOUTHPIECE promo by Mark and Jay Briscoe.

I think as much as Mick Foley's first book helped make Terry a legend - it made me a fan before I had ever seen him work - it made "he retires all the time" a meme. I always found it very funny that Terry had the reputation as the old guy who couldn't retire, when his *older brother* was still going

Looks like all the matches were announced on YouTube. I don't know why it's coming out slow drip on social media. Claudio vs Ace Doyle vs Eddie OC vs Sydal Jack vs Mox Jay vs Finlay Roddy vs KOR Hechicero vs Cage Nigel vs Shibata I like that it actually feels random with exception to Jay/Fin.

I have baby shark privilege. Which means I've never actually listened to more than a few seconds of it. And I know so many people around my age who hear it in their sleep and it has ruined their brains forever. So I am aware of my privilege.
