Been making dumb little zines with a bunch of pictures of the most jobbery jobbers in the golden age of the WWF. Got 'em back from the MMU printers yesterday and they're all cut and folded by hand. I'll have them on Sunday at Futureshock and next week at CATCH you want one. Physical media!

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

A hotdog where it's not actually a hotdog but a big bastard mozzarella stick. Panko crumb, ketchup, mustard, skewer for holding, Melon Fanta on the side, preferably in the food court in Tokyo Dome City on a slightly overcast day before going to a wrestling show in Korakuen.

Despite the heat exhaustion I've managed to hobble out for a bit. I'm watching the geese frolic in and around the water while listening to Discreet Music by Brian Eno. @catchprowres.bsky.social tomorrow night. Despite everything, shit's alright sometimes isn't it. Joy in little things.

I really enjoyed playing YuGiOh Duel Links- it was one of my 2020 lockdown distractions. However, I've had far more joy finding and building the decks I made on the app in real life, and finding out exactly how much fuckassery they create despite being way behind the times. (Link? Pendulum? Nope.)

Behold!

Absolutely wild that this hoss battle was maybe the 4th-best match on that show. @tjpw2013.bsky.social rules, y'all.

Why.

Same energy.

Videotape? I only have one, and it's purely to own as An Object- 6.3.94 😅

Sixty Great British pounds. Not even a good album. Music industry's fucked lads. At this point just let it die.

Yesterday I refereed an NWA title match. Today I'm going to a watch a wrestling show purely as a fan for the first time since I went over to Japan. In unrelated news, the grocery store in Chinatown sells Strong Zero now.

Yuuuuup- seen a few folks (not naming them) using AI for their promo images and booking info sheets too. Like, my dudes, there's so many great graphic designers- give them some work!

An incredibly rare Tuesday off work.

Ok for realsies @wrassletrash.is.goblin.fyi's hockey jerseys are perfect for summer: - soft breathable material so I'm not a sweaty mess! - long-sleeves so I'm not gonna catch sunburn! - rad-as-hell design!

New @wrassletrash.is.goblin.fyi Sicko jersey just in time for the summer season! Buy one and be a Sicko too!

Hard seltzers; bag of. Maybe a can of sugar free Monster if the show's gonna be a long one. (As seen in my appearance in Weekly Pro-Wres earlier this year, big bag of cans on the floor, front and centre in the photo)

New frontrunner for Most Relaxo Location in Final Fantasy IX: Lindblum Serpent's Gate.

Show me that weird game no one played that you love. Here we go again, me talking about my favourite obscure JRPG, Oriental Blue: Ao No Tengai. No (official) western release and only on the GameBoy Advance, a really fun branching-path actions-have-consequences game with some gorgeous pixel art.

They have strawberry butties in konbinis in Japan! The difference being that over there a sandwich costs about half the price, but still!

WHY AH DO DECLARE I'M-A CHALLENGIN' YA TO A DUEL, PARDNER! YOOGIYA CARDS AT DAWN!

Ahh crud. Time for the saddest part of the game. This scene probably wouldn't work nearly as well if it wasn't from the perspective of the Lil Guy who's going through an existential crisis, coming to terms with his own limited mortality and learning about grief. Gonna be feeling this all day now.

My and my buddy were on the very back row of the floor risers so we stood up the entire time (didn't get told to sit!)- the sign wasn't big or ostentatious but you could see it on hard cam! THANKFULLY our good-natured nonsense rubbed off onto the nearby sections and folks joined in with us 🤣

For me, no. The greatest comedy wrestler in the world is coincidentally the greatest wrestler in the world today 🙌

Honestly, a perfectly valid point! BUT I've been doing this far too long to break from the tradition.

This match was obviously meant to be a quick squash for the Total Bellas reality TV show, but instead because this oddly competitive match with Miz playing face and clearly loving it. The sign is on broadcast and even in background shots of the accompanying documentary. I'm still proud of this.

What can I say, I love schadenfreude in wrestling- the old indie promotion, the DDT stable AND the phenomenon! 😂

Sometimes we just wanna relax*, OK! *resist the urge to rip the GameCube from the TV and launch it into the canal

I did some tie-dyeing over the weekend ☺️ it's been a while (and a house move!) since I last did some! Next Monday is @catchprowres.bsky.social show day... but almost marks 25 years since the formation of Pro Wrestling NOAH and the creation of the GHC, so I combined the two!
