I really don’t think that wrestling would’ve been what it was, at least internationally without Vince McMahon. Other promotions have tried but haven’t had the same level of popularity as WWE. Even when WCW was America’s number one promotion for those 83 weeks, they were still seen as very much a US based wrestling promotion with limited TV deals and touring outside the USA. WWE toured more often internationally and generally had the better overseas TV deals, even when they were struggling financially in the 90s. So no, I don’t think anyone else would’ve made wrestling what it was if Vince hadn’t.

I’ve not always been Owen Jones’ biggest fan either but he did raise some very good points in this X post (he needs better closed captions though). I’m expecting Labour to win convincingly at the next election but I’m just not excited about it. Sure, it’ll be great to see more Tory wipeout on election night (hopefully) but for what exactly? To hand power over to a party who’ve decided to do the same things? Pro Brexit, anti-nationalisation, pro austerity and pro privatisation? It’s bloody depressing.

Good God. How petty. I’ve actually ordered one. It’s the first footy shirt I’ve bought since around 2010 and it’s a fake Chinese replica at a fraction of the price but I actually think it’s a very good shirt. Noticed Owen Jones has withdrawn his Labour Party membership. The reasons he gave (basically carrying on with the same Tory policies) were valid in fairness.
