    The wonderful clusterfuck that is WrestleMania weekend is coming along nicely.

    Impact scheduled a show, co-promoted with House of Glory, called "Culture Clash" on April 4th at 8pm in Jamaica, Queens (NYC Arena). MLW has a show scheduled for 7pm in LIC, Queens (Melrose Ballroom). They're also sharing talent (most notably Lucha Bros). That makes for a tight time-frame of travel for the wrestlers and a tough choice for fans who want to attend both shows. So how do they remedy this mess?

    MLW and Impact announce a partnership for the weekend, and Impact agrees to move their show!

    To Rahway, NJ. At 11pm. Which...okay, good luck with that.

    This is also the home venue of WrestlePro, and they're co-promoting the re-branded show, now called "United We Stand," with Impact.

    I used to go to Rahway for ROH shows iirc but to take that trip for anyone who's here for mania is too far. and at that hour?

    I'm currently still thinking I am gonna go to mania. don't have tickets yet though. my buddy is going for sure with a friend of his but I wouldn't be sitting with them. I'm already going to the RoH show that weekend I think (my cousin got tickets)

    The first KENTA match I ever saw.

    KENTA & Marafuji vs. Ricky Marvin vs. Juventud

    It's fast paced from the get go and a ton of fun throughout.

    By all accounts it wasn't that he always hated hokey shit, it was just that was all he ever got to do (even during his big long-teased heel turn he's done shit like dress up as a Halloween department store budget Bane, have his entrance theme be "fixed" to have a more intentionally-annoying siren than Cesaro's, and make fun of local sports teams and fans' smells) and eventually he got sick of it

    Only thing I've seen or heard him do that wasn't intentionally designed to make him look like an idiot and/or comedian was the time he was scripted to make fun of his IRL best friend's cancer coming back. Yeah, can't imagine why he doesn't want to extend his contract right now

    Beyond the fact that he beats people up for a living, he even went outside the rules for how you're allowed to beat people up when he won the title with a low blow. And also hired/convinced a giant man to beat down his unaware opponent to retain the title. I'd call all of that violent.

    You can't tell by looking at it. I am currently wearing a fully vegan knit sweater, with fully vegan pleather shoes.

    The sweater is fully vegan or it was fully knitted by a vegan?

    Bryan's a heel because he's an asshole who's more interested in demonstrating how above the common man he is than in any of the causes he purports to espouse.

    Yeah, I'm sorta thinking I might try for last minute WM tickets depending on the cost. Currently I have Takeover, and I'm eyeing the Evolve shows. Has anyone done them in previous WM years?

    The Evolve/Shimmer shows were very fun when I went. Really depends on who is there, of course.

    After watching the KENTA tag match I posted earlier I checked out Naomichi Marafuji vs. Okada from King of Pro-Wrestling and it's fucking awesome. Marafuji is using, essentially, the V-Trigger before Kenny made it a thing. His chops are monstrous and fucks up Okada's chest something fierce. Definitely worth checking out.

    I don't doubt Itami's leaving, and it's probably the best thing for him. I think I'll believe Dean's gone when it actually happens, given that they put him in a chair in the ring and had him prepare to make an announcement, and given that they've actively talked about it on official company channels.

    And after what Sandow got up to after he left, I'm taking all "they didn't like the hokey shit!" reports with a gigantic grain of salt

    Nah, Starbucks is too corporate, he'd go to a local store with local beans and soy milk.

    New Daniel Bryan is evil, but he isn't MAGA hat evil like irl Austin Aires.

    They do need to put him up against someone who isn't a conservative schmuck like AJ, so it is a bit more clear that he is the heel though.

    remember when austin aries made that tweet on like national vegan day or something about being really happy that he could eat out a vegan woman and she didn’t taste like battery acid or some shit

    and then he posted a picture of some cosmic tiger just...going to town on some poor lady’s vagina

    that’s the worst tweet i’ve ever seen i think
