I watch wrestling because none of the people in it are ethically suspect. In fact, just to make sure of the ethical credentials of the people on wrestling TV, I try and find out their political opinions on absolutely everything before I decide I can enjoy their work. That applies to their parents too, just in case.

We all know a lot of wrestling is fucked, but remembering stuff like Austin battering his wife or Undertaker wearing blue lives matter shirts does influence how we view them as workers. The only fans who can totally distance themselves from what any wrestler has done are the worst, like the people who think Benoit should be in the Hall Of Fame.

I wouldn’t stop watching someone for supporting Trump, unless they went out their way to be vocal about it. But it would knock them down a few places on a list of wrestlers I like.

@King Pitcos I’ve seen some of that stuff and was under the impression that was him fucking about with his friends in a Jackass type of way? Is he actually pulling in random homeless guys off the street and making them do that stuff? Or is it stupid kids egging eachother on to do stupid shit?

Found this, if you watch from the ten minute mark it doesn’t quite come off how you are describing at all. Unless there are other incidents I don’t know about

I want an AEW game, they've teased it'd be one with the No Mercy engine (which I've never played myself) but it's going to be a long while, if ever.

Cody confirmed it again recently, but he said it will take time to do it properly. They are planning to do one of their “road to” series with it which will be great. Not only will anticipation be through the roof by the time they release it but it’ll also give them the chance to gauge opinions as they go

What I'm saying is, I don't hink we should be so quick to label people "mental cases and shit heads" just because they hold a differing political opinion to us (even if voting for Trump may seem absurd to non-americans).

The differing political opinions are pretty huge though, and they do reflect the people who hold them. Can’t just ignore shitty attitudes because it falls under political opinions 

It won’t be a shock at all when he wins again, Biden is fucking useless. Bernie was the man and that’s slipped away again

I can’t find anything online that says they support Trump, just that Tony’s Dad has made a donation to Trump

Didn’t know Bucks and Cody were Trump supporters, that’s disappointing. Jericho is pretty old as well to be fair.

Wonder why Dustin hasn’t been at the tapings if he thinks it’s all a load of bollocks

He may as well be out there supporting them by tweeting that shite.

I know he's one of the forums golden boys but fucking hell. If Omega tweeted #EndTheShutdown he would be roasted alive on here.

I know I shouldn’t, but I would hold Omega to a higher standard than Dustin. Younger people seem to have a better understanding of why we need to have a lockdown 

That ain’t too bad for a redneck in their 50s. Americans have been coming out with all sorts of mental shit lately. Was worried he had been caught sharing support of the protests 

Everyone and everything will be over with live crowds when there can be live crowds. For a while at least

Surely you have had a few dates? 

You’ve lost me?

Is there even anywhere left to tattoo on him at this point besides his face? Did he have another weird one lined up?

The absolute worst one he’s got that he thinks is hilarious is when he got Brandon Novak to cum on his arm and get it tattooed over instantly. 

I didn’t even speak to him, was his manager who emailed me. He just wanted a palm sized gap filler on his leg and we were going to work the details out on the day. People on tour are usually a bit flakey but that is the only time I’ve sat waiting for someone not to show up

He was also supposed to do a signing at HMV (I think) that day. He let a load of people down other than just me, that might have been when he really started going off the rails 

I was supposed to tattoo Bam a couple years back. He ended up going off on a bender instead of coming to the studio while I sat there all day twiddling my thumbs. Dickhead 

Probably Crush Hour 2

Can you even imagine this company in five years time, with Vince still at the helm?

I reckon WWE will only get interesting once Vince totally loses it, he’ll be showing upto creative meetings and saying they should put the belt on Hogan because he thinks he is back in the 80s.

On that point what's the age of consent in the US, doesn't it vary by state between 16 as a low & 18 as a high? 

Pretty sure it’s still illegal to send someone under 18 sexually explicit photos even if they are old enough to consent to sexual intercourse. If he asked for a photo back that is child porn

To be fair, they once said the show would be 'more sports-based' in presentation

That’s gonna make a pretty crazy episode of Dark Side Of The Ring one day

No we won’t. Not after we’ve spent weeks ranting about how evil and deadly it is to force your staff to do closed set wrestling shows in these trying times.

Who is we? I don’t think it’s people saying that because they prefer AEW. You seem to be thinking of a very specific type of fan that exists only on twitter, rather than anyone around here

There's no chance in Hell that the world is going to get safe enough that quickly. Plus they have Trump in charge.

Well depends if injecting disinfectant directly into the blood stream can kill the virus. If it does, the lockdown will be over in no time 

That’s a damn shame. Hopefully it either gets pulled or the world becomes a safer place by then, wouldn’t bet on either though

Always a good time killer for a bit. Will wait till some decent mods appear as not big on the Cornellverse. There are some really decent mods for the last one. Been meaning to try out a territory one at some point.

On the forum it says that the old mods won’t work on the newer version because the whole engine has been built from the ground up. I’ve never even tried The Cornellverse, but it looks like the new mods won’t take long as guys have started working on them already.

Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 is out at the end of the month. Used to love the game when I was younger, always been a solid time waster so will likely grab it to pass time in lockdown.

Not that it ever will, but I feel that if WWE falls, the whole wrestling industry will follow. I don’t even think AEW could capitalise on it.

without WWE, the next generation of fans will be a whole lot lower and will filter down as far as local shows.

I think it is possible that WWE does fail to be honest. Not sure what could trigger it, it would have to be huge but I do think they could collapse in on themselves. Probably take Vince dying, causing stock prices to plummet while loads of dodgy stories come out so damaging to the brand that TV companies to want to distance themselves. 
People don’t set up big wrestling promotions because there is no point competing with WWE. If they went out of business and the market was flooded with free agents we would get another money man seeing the opportunity to cash in

With all the fuss over their recent releases (which blew over fucking quickly as usual)

What you mean by blown over? I still think they are dicks for making unnecessary cuts, always will do as well. Are people supposed to mention it in every post to show they still think it was a shit thing to do?

My main question from the show: Is Sammy gonna fight Funhouse Matt and Jericho fights Fiend Matt, or is it the other way round?

Tag Match, obviously. I really like the sudden switch, forgot that Matt knew how to do a proper promo like that. He could go Mick Foley with a few characters that all interact with eachother
