It’s me

You just gotta lay low for a month and then hope you have a bunch of mutual friends and you end up hanging out together in a group and then she doesn’t hate you any more and then you win her heart.

This is dreadful, but this is almost exactly how my first interaction with Kristina went.

[WrestleTalk @WrestleTalk_TV]

Cody Rhodes recalls Aaron Solo's failed attempt "shoot his shot" with WWE's Fallon Henley during their time in AEW together:

"He often talked about you very fondly and very sincerely. Like ‘She’s so pretty, she’s really smart’ this whole thing. He didn’t talk a lot if you remember? Not Mr. Personality. Last time I saw him I reintroduced myself to him, because that’s how limited our conversations have become over the years.

"He had said so much that we were all like ‘Well you should go talk to her.’ This is a basic, common, you learn this in high school, ‘You should say hello, you should ask her if she wants to hang out, you should do anything. Anything other than talk to us about it.’ We were all sitting adjacent to the elevators, Marriott, Jacksonville, Florida and it’s important with the way I remember the story.

"You walked in and you had a bit of a social club there, there was a group who was always together, it was a good crew. Always seemed to be in good spirits which was good for me because my time there was up and down.

"You walked in and you had a bag of Arby’s and he literally nudged me and he goes ‘I’m gonna go say hi to her, I’m gonna do it.’ And I thought ‘great, do it' here he goes. Now we’re watching and we’re not roasting him, we’re not giving him a hard time, we’re sincerely looking, hoping this goes well. No one is making fun of him which is normally what guys, what we do to each other.

"You walked past, so he missed that first opportunity and then it’s even weirder now because he trails you to the elevator and you have a group so it’s not looking good. And then you turn and smiled at him, you were very nice. Then he just looked at you and he said ‘Arby’s huh?’ And I feel like I could hear you say because we were far away at this point, and I just heard ‘Yeah.’ And then the elevators shut in my story and then you went away.

"Then he came back to us. Why would you even walk back to us? Walk to your car, drive away, leave this city. All that talk, like a month of build up. All that for that moment? Arby’s huh? He shot his shot I suppose and that was it."

Tommy Dreamer is such a stooge for alleged pedophile Rob Feinstein that he wanted to publicly embrace him on a ROH show weeks after the Perverted Justice sting, to make fans forgive him.

[“Tom”. @NotThatTomGreen]

Someone holding a weird grudge against Perch of ALL PEOPLE is the strangest shit I’ve ever heard.

I think wrestling is beyond use for Tommy Dreamer.

[Maxwell @MaxwellBoards]

He is Hulk Hogan-ing at an alarming rate.

[Arslan @0xarslan]

The Rock says he was making $150,000 wrestling 235 days a year and nearly left WWE for MMA

"at that time I was making $150,000 wrestling 235 days a year"

"do the math of that and how much you're making per match"

"these guys over in Pride are making 250, 350, 500"

"I don't think I'm going to make it in WWE, people are booing me out of the arenas"

"maybe I should train to MMA and go to Pride and make money, real money"

"these fans are booing me over here for 150 grand"

I’m going to eat poison

[Governor Mike Braun @GovBraun]

Hoosiers, help me welcome the Chicago Bears to our great state!

We look forward to building a partnership as strong as the '85 Bears defense, creating opportunities and economic growth that will benefit our state and the Bears organization for decades to come.

An NFL franchise in Northwest Indiana will be an economic boost to the entire region like we haven’t seen before.

Thank you to Speaker Huston, the legislature, and Mayor McDermott for their partnership. I also want to thank the entire Chicago Bears organization for their partnership and commitment in making this move a reality.

Welcome to Indiana!

This feels like someone booking exactly to my specific taste.

Nigel McGuinness has gotten involved after Lee Moriarty got in his face!

@NotFenderdean13 Nooooo I hate myself

[Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com @SeanRossSapp]

What is your best "AEW should run an event here?"

[IandrewDiceClay @IANdrewDiceClay]

The perfect shot in Beyond the Mat. The exact moment Roland Alexander told Mike Modest "you're ready for the WWF" 7'4", 500 pound Billy Gunn walks past just to show what they were actually looking for in a wrestler. You'd almost think this was set up.

[Maxwell @MaxwellBoards]

Tbf, the Adam Pearce match and the Whitmer tables match were both phenomenal. Just wasn’t consistently interesting.

[Maxwell @MaxwellBoards]

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was getting people really excited about Brent Albright.

[AJFwrestling @AJFwrestling]

#OnThisDay in wrestling history 20 years ago ...

CM Punk won the OVW Heavyweight Championship, defeating Brent Albright in a strap match in Louisville, Kentucky on 3 May 2006

Was looking up some Bison Smith stuff and came across this. Awesome documentary on an awesome wrestler. Really well done.

Can’t wait to see New Day in different environments.

[Derek Sabato @DerekSabato]

Psst…when TKO merged both companies they let go of a lot of redundant live event positions.

If you don’t run house shows - you can command more fees for TVs/PLEs because you make them scarce.

Supply and demand.

Hurts EVERYONE to not run these events from the WRESTLING POV

[“Tom”. @NotThatTomGreen]

@MaxwellBoards The Rhyno match at Summerslam 2001 is a PSA on why wrestling in lifts is a bad idea.
