There have been at least two wrestlers named Rick O'Shea (one Irish and one Australian), both active in the early-mid 2000s, and it's so disappointing that neither of them crossed paths with Ricochet

Most have to go to Turkey for hair like this. I went to Australia.
Huh, interesting. I've only seen these orange ones show up in the last couple of years, so there was probably just a litter born recently with this little variation. I wonder if they'll gradually become more common in the neighborhood if they continue to reproduce over time.
Even More - Puppet Blues
I've been listening to this a lot lately. The perfect disaffected vibe fits with the gloomy days lately, and the minimal synth work is hypnotic.

Given that only one of them is still alive, I guess we know which one won out
I don't really know, most of the other squirrels that hang around our backyard are Western Gray Squirrels, mostly gray and brown and white. This guy looks just like one of them, as far as body shape and everything, but just with the orange coloring. So maybe a genetic variation or something?

Necro Butcher vs Samoa Joe - One of the greatest, most remarkable, and most inimitable wrestling matches of all time. Necro Butcher, a violent hillbilly with long, stringy hair and a bushy beard, wearing blood-stained jean shorts and a t-shirt which reads CHOOSE DEATH is so covered in blood that his facial features can barely be discerned. He stands across from Samoa Joe, a large, powerful, heavyset Samoan man wearing more traditional wrestling attire. Joe has blood smeared all over his thighs, streaked across his chest, and on his arms. All of it is Necro's blood. Joe is raising his arm, about to strike Necro again, and Necro looks like he barely knows where he is. If you have ever enjoyed anything about pro wrestling, it's worth going out of your way to watch this match. It's on Youtube. It's insane, funny, violent, haphazard, and beautiful in a weird, demented sort of way that will cause you to marvel at the way some human beings have chosen to live their lives, and what people are willing to do for the sake of creating a compelling performance.
Not to mention that the ongoing rivalry between the refs was the most consistent storyline across the first year of the company's shows, involving corruption, bribery, referees ejecting each other from the matches, running in to attack each other during matches, and getting beaten up by Psycho Mike
A pro wrestling match with four referees standing in the ring, getting ready to fight each other. The match is overseen by a fifth referee.
I've been rewatching the Mystery Wrestling shows as they've been reposting them over the last week, and it just deepens my love for this company.
Where else are you going to see a 4-way referee match, where all the company's refs fight each other?

Do you listen to crazy fast/chaotic EDM, like speedcore/gabber type stuff? That's the kind of thing that I tend to turn to when I need to push every single thought out of my brain, like a sonic powerwasher
The same orange and brown squirrel, giving me the side eye
Pudgy orange guy staring me down in the backyard
It definitely helps mark the deranged posters
Given his next match is in Australia on Saturday I'd imagine the reaction from the crowd will be a bit less politically charged, but they're scheduled for several shows in Brody's home state of California (and one in El Paso) over the next few weeks, so you know it'll just pick back up
So in order to avoid annoying the Trump administration, the network is pressuring (or even outright demanding) AEW to keep one of the hottest rising stars in pro wrestling off of TV
Either this backfires spectacularly (which could be a problem for AEW), or it totally kills Brody's heat
A QUESTION FOR WRESTLING BLUESKY
A few years ago on twitter, there was a long thread where a dude posted every cat-masked wrestler from japan, mexico, & beyond. Photos and descriptions. It was so great. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I cannot find it and I want it for POTLUCK PURPOSES!

RIP Zombocom
Zombocom and Timecube were the purest manifestations of what the internet should be
Labels on an account reading "No break greater than 4 hrs yesterday" and "Posts a lot: more than 50 times yesterday"
This labeller is pretty useful for giving you some context on just how online people are (or whether or not it's actually a bot account)

I remember seeing wrestlers do that when I first started watching Japanese wrestling in the early 2000s and I always wondered how everyone knew to jump at the same time
In a way it reminds me of the "SHUT UP, LYKOS!" bit

The last time I saw this guy was when I randomly ran into him at a tattoo shop, and he was getting yet another big titty anime girl tattooed on his arm. Odd guy.
I knew a guy who fucked the Earth.
He said he just dug a hole in the ground and stuck his dick in it. He shared this, unprompted, during a 12 step meeting. I was the only person in the room who laughed.
...and now let's take a look at how traffic's doing and- OH GOD, MY EYES!!!!
I did that once and it was miserable, physically painful, and damaged my relationships with other people and my self-esteem.
Absolutely terrible experience.
Relatable
I haven't actually seen anybody talking about Heated Rivalry, but I've seen a bunch of people talking about people talking about Heated Rivalry
It feels like I exist one dimension over from all the people that are watching and enjoying the show
That seems to roughly fit with the ratio of men to women under contract in the company
