I'm not the soccer player or the hockey player. I'm the guy who writes about pro wrestling for Bleacher Report. Sorry.

Bully Ray is the definition of being a mark for yourself. I've never heard a single person say "You know who my favorite wrestler is? The less talented Dudley Boy." I've never heard anyone say one of his matches was their favorite unless it involved several other more talented people (Like TLC)

Busted Open from NY ass logic directly sponsored by WWE. What a bunch of entitled bitch asses.

Bully: "Forget about the—yes, the partnership is what it is but — and I've said this on the air to you hundreds of times. You have overextended yourself to every wrestling company on the planet." LaGreca: "Some of those companies thanked me by putting me in section 313, row 24." Bully: "How did the WWE thank you and us?" LaGreca: "Putting us in the front row and identifying us during the broadcast." Bully: "Has any other wrestling company ever put us on the front row and identified us?" LaGreca: "No." Bully: "Should they have?" LaGreca: "Yes."

Considering one of the defining traits of Hogan was his penchant for lying, this almost feels appropriate lol

"I am sure all the Hogan aficionados out there remember Hogan losing the WWF title to Yokozuna in Japan in 1993. You know, at King of the Ring, which was actually held in Ohio." Uhhh yeah that doesn't sound like the usual kind of Shoemaker mistake, that absolutely feels like an AI "hallucination."

A year later, Hogan made another return to the title picture at WrestleMania IX. It was supposed to be a feel-good moment. Instead, it became a case study in creative dissonance. After Bret Hart—the latest in the string of Hogan replacements—lost the WWF Championship to Yokozuna, Hogan emerged unexpectedly to defend Bret—and, ever the terrible friend, ended up accepting a match against Yokozuna. The match was brief, one-sided, and designed to put the belt back on Hogan without explanation or justification. In the process, Bret Hart—the company’s newly chosen champion— was sidelined, his victory erased, his momentum disrupted. Hogan didn’t just win the title; he overrode the plan. This moment encapsulated Hogan’s late-WWF problem. He was still powerful enough to change the narrative simply by appearing. But that power came at the expense of the future the company was trying to build. Hogan’s final WWF feud with Yokozuna was short, strange, and symbolic. He lost the WWF Championship back to Yokozuna in Japan, away from the American spotlight, in a match that should have been a climax and instead felt like a quiet concession. There was no grand farewell. No emotional speech. No acknowledgment that an era was ending.

I finally finished the flats on this and started shading…ignore my crooked as hell guitar strings, they’re place holders…maybe..I might be too lazy to ever fix them. XD

I know I said I was going to draw Kenny as a Guilty Gear character but I lied (I will, just later). Why did I pick the one fighting character who uses a guitar!? I should make it a Guitar Hero guitar so I can draw buttons instead of strings and all those other details >_>

Lineart of Thekla (AEW) as I-No (Guilty Gear)

Mascarita Dorada should get more credit BTW, that guy has been at it for over a quarter century as a mini working a super athletic and acrobatic style and hasn't slowed down at all.

"Your review of SummerSlam was joyless" is something someone actually just said to me in a reply. Maybe my reviews would be happier if, oh I don't know, THE SHOW HAD ANY JOY IN IT AT ALL! Sorry if you like getting a three hour PPV with less than half that time filled with actual wrestling. I don't.

The people who paid ridiculous prices for those first few rows on the hard cam side look like they are sitting on their hands.

Punk-Cody is already wrestling from a different planet compared to the rest of the card. Both guys clearly take pride in their craft, their fundamentals, avoiding showing daylight in their offense, etc. Anything that looks off is just from Punk being old and beat up. AND THE CROWD'S DEAD FOR IT.
