Random Wrestling Thoughts (Part 2)

It was? How so?

It started yesterday but this must be the year with the least buzz around the G1 ever, at least in the modern era anyway.

Not really surprising, NJPW has not been very good for a while now outside of a few stand outs like Shingo, who might just be the wrestler of the year. His match with Ishii was great but booking Ibushi to lose to fcuking Yujiro Takahashi fairly sums up where New Japan is at the minute.

I watch a few of the vlogs some wrestlers put out like Sammy's, Danhausen's etc. and one thing I can't fathom are the fans gifting them expensive items all the time. It just seems weird to send expensive figures etc. to people who are most likely earning more than you. Similarly you see some fans pay to meet them at nearly every signing they do, it's very weird.

You're right. But these people have more money than sense.

Fools and their money are easily parted the carny wrestlers will always shill and hustle.

The worst is the WWE cameos. €328 for a video message from Finn Balor.

29 left for anyone with 300 quid to burn.

Would ya be well...

No, I'm saving up for Alexa.

Watched a few episodes of Young Rock. Really not sure what to make of it. It’s a sit com but basically isn’t funny at all and even as a hardcore wrestling fan, I appreciate all the references but overall it’s fairly dull. It’s even more of a vanity project and self indulgent than I was expecting and seeing Rock appear in every Episode is kind of distracting and makes him appear (in my view) somewhat arrogant as he prepares for a presidential campaign which may well happen in real life in the future. Love The Rock but there’s something grating about Dwayne Johnson

Typical Facebook stan.

What plans has Vince for Scarlett.

I love Rock, to be honest. He was the coolest man alive when I was a kid and I still think he's great, even with the kinda false Hollywood veneer.

I suppose you could say I'm a Rock stan.

Honestly if we as a society could drop kick the use of that word as a whole out of existence. That would be marvellous.

Along with that word, Twitter in general and every one of these other modern day terms like "woke".

Can we keep the Stan song though? 🤔

It may have taken 5 years but Corbin is finally kinda entertaining.

Not saying it's a bad word but it, along with other words are now overused in both right and wrong ways. I'm sure "Don't be a d!ck" is a general message to use instead of using multiple other words.

Anyway, yeah Corbin is entertaining. Wonder if Grimes was a trial run for that gimmick.
