I can watch the matches just fine, but to me, without commentary moving a story along, it’s just a singular match in a vortex by itself. If that makes any sense? I can watch the 1/20/97 Kobashi/Misawa match and love it. But the story beats and history between the two are lost on me, ya know?
It’s less about simply the calling of moves and more about the stories behind WHY they’re doing certain moves or the background of the match and why it’s important, etc. Let’s not act like commentary isn’t an art itself just because big Western companies treat it like an ad spot.
I follow some people on Twitter who do live translations but English commentary would still be ideal. Marigold does it every so often.
Give me English commentary too, and I’m absolutely down. I was kind of lost during the post-match stuff for Saya/AZM so having someone be able to tell me what was happening would’ve been great.
I know it’s one guy running the service, but I wish Stardom World was better than what it is.
Shane Gillis, Marc Maron and Stavros Halkias are real ones

I’m 36 and I’m pretty sure I remember my high school history classes going all the way up to Desert Storm.

My birthday was yesterday, so I decided to treat myself and bought all six of the MMPR: The Movie Funko Pops, and pre-ordered the new CM Punk one.

An American version of the All Elite Show. It’s a chat/recap show on Fox Sports Mexico. Kind of reminds me of Inside the NBA a little bit.
How long are we expecting these to stay in stock?! I don’t get paid until next week 😒
man I never get anything cool like this.

Linkin Park - Meteora

This panel really spoke to me. Especially given today’s political climate.

I’m not sure @gwillow.me will ever know just how much Kamala Khan means to me - a guy (now) in his mid-30s, in the Bible Belt. But this character spoke to me in ways that comics never did, not even when I was a little kid. I’m not sure I can put it into words, and I’m running out of space anyway…
Mail day on #WrestlingCardWednesday, you love to see it.
16/50 Topps Now CM Punk (action shot of the GTS on Rollins from the Netflix debut episode)

Toni versus Athena and Toni versus Mercedes have never happened, shockingly enough.
Toni’s only ever faced Mercedes/Sasha in house show triple threats in WWE, and versus Athena in the 2021 Rumble and a four way at Grand Slam.
iiiiit’s Wednesday, you know what that means! Another #WrestlingCardWednesday!
And it was mail day today, which means I got this CM Punk 24/25 National Treasures card in. I’ve got a 43/75 coming tomorrow, too. Next up on my hunts: Flawless & Treasured Threads.

Amazon! The brand is Americanflat.
Just when you think you have a lot of cards, you buy a display case and realize you have some work to put it in!

The Gladiator versus Kenta Kobashi, from 1999. Or Kawada/Taue versus Hayabusa/Shinzaki from 1997.
I could watch Kawada matches all day, honestly.
In the Buro? No. I wish SUP would come back. TWE is still active around Chattanooga, but that’s like a good 2 hours away.
We used to have a pretty decent indie scene. At least we still have TWE and the SCI.
Funnily enough, I’m pretty sure the lowest attended Dynamite (outside of the pandemic era) was just recently, at the Hammerstein.
I’m keeping an eye on this. I wish it was closer to the Buro 😭
(CA Debut) June 1st 2022 (15k)
(Week+ after All Out) September 15th 2021 (12k)
Blood & Guts: June 29th 2022 (11k)
I believe the second episode of Dynamite had around 6k.
You’re not wrong about 21/22 attendance, but ‘21 is obviously heavily skewed by the pandemic (touring started again in June)
It’s Wednesday, you what what that means! It’s #wrestlingcardwednesday!
The true grail. After two weeks of delays due to winter weather, it finally came. CM Punk’s rookie card, with TNA, from 2004!
