Happy Hump Day to all! Closer to the weekend...
Another day, another Alex Terrible crash out on IG over trans people. Slow clap to the media and Bloodstock for platforming this guy. Christ.
Memphis Wrestling bringing in James Ellsworth. Nope.
Meerkat Ultra's Kill Tamu series I've also binged today - very good use of Kill Bill/Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon a Time In Hollywood to highlight the Tam/Saya/Natsupoi/Guilia story.
Just remembered Revolver gave Alex Terrible a cover story in the last year or so... so I guess the Madden Bros were fine with a guy that tried to hide his shitty fash tats.
Seeing the Madden brothers not only decide to turn into sell outs but uber sell outs by getting into bed with Live Nation - the leeches that they are - isn’t surprising but keeping it quiet that they were trying to consolidate 4 alt publications before gutting them dry…
Live Nation essentially killing off Brooklyn Vegan SUCKS. The Madden brothers selling Veeps to that shit corporation also really sucks.
@sithwitch.bsky.social Completed Battlestar Galactica - the ending is... quite the choice (and amusing given the original's Mormon allegory...) VERY funny that the same showrunner's doing God Of War... because of said ending.
A reminder that the latest DEATHMATCH ROYALTY - Necro Butcher vs Super Dragon from PWG is up featuring Filipino Pro Wrestling's Akuma! www.spreaker.com/episode/summ...
There’s also the Trolls from the Xitter list to join after reporting him - saves your feed from seeing Tarragorn ever again!
So apparently on this day in 2001 Jackie Chan announced his latest movie where he played a window washer stopping a terrorist attack at the World Trade Center. Guess what day the filming was due to start?!
Some days only SYL's City and Alien will do - mostly Alien. open.spotify.com/album/6SS8I9...
Someone better send this to Lewis 'COVID didn't affect kids' Goodall.
So this is interesting... deadline.com/2026/08/dave...
Reminder that at 10pm UK time - new Deathmatch Royalty as we conclude our side of the Summer Of Necro (the second half coming to Slammasters Entertainment system soon!) with BOLA 2006 Night 2 - SUPER DRAGON!
So a bigot who wrote for the Spectator died and I’m supposed to be sad?! Nah.
Looks like that point I made about the new generation realising 'the dream' doesn't have to be JUST WWE applies to Leon Slater. Especially given Carlos and the writing team response is to potentially erase his title reign. I mean the notice me senpai vibes off Carlos...
Chuckling how this Scott Oberman guy is yassified Temu Pete Dunne after seeing him booked for Progress.
So MxM Collection vs Sunshine Machine feels like a match tailor made for @wafflybollox.bsky.social. Just need it booked outside of Progress imo!
Aside from British institutions like Benno, Dandy, Buster and Whizzer and Chips - an issue of Essential X-Men (A monthly compilation of issues on a 6 month delay from the US publishing schedule) that was part 2 of them covering Onslaught.
Gmail getting rid of gmailify and replacing it for more AI stuff... more enshittification.
Lewis Goodall has fully embraced being an arsehole. Long Covid doesn't exist or is a 'disputed subject' according to him. Ugh.
The only Summerslam post I'll make - somewhere Noam Dar weeps he didn't get to use Morning Glory in WWE. :P
So a Voyager and The Midnight tour some time in the future would be pretty cool globally...
This coming Monday - 10pm UK/5pm Eastern/2pm Pacific. The conclusion to the Deathmatch Royalty side of Summer of Necro - we go to PWG 2006 as for that year's Battle Of Los Angeles Necro takes on SUPER DRAGON. @drlarryyacht.bsky.social and I are joined by Akuma to showcase one of THE BOLA matches!
OK - quick question for anyone that was at the BOLA that has Super Dragon vs Necro Butcher: what was Necro's entrance theme? Need to know when networking for the socials haha!
Does it suck that Guilia and Mariah/Blake are being under utilised? Yes. They however made the choice to go there (and tbh with the latter their story in AEW had come to a logical end imo), it's up to them if they decide to realise the same way MCMG and others...
The fact that even Amnesty are too cowardly to stand up to some author that got lucky (and has proven with her writings since that she's SHIT at it and tried to hide by using a name that was mostly the same as the creator of conversion therapy...) rather than DOING THEIR DAMN JOB... UGH.
Dave Meltzer not reviewing Mercedes vs Maya World is his equivalent of Jessie Gender's Ferengi video being on Youtube, I expect Jessie's to come out first (and TECHNICALLY if you watch them on Nebula...)
