It’s Yokohama Arena Week for Stardom. I’m hyped for Sunday. Might do a thread on the significance of the card is. If I do, expect a lot of references to this show and other shows.

Mercedes Moné is the greatest women's wrestler from North America and one of the greatest of all time.

What do you make of Triple H saying people are taking WWE "too seriously" and people "get too caught up in it"... isn't that the point?

Because local storms are life and death, and a game is just a game?

One of these days, a WWE match is gonna have the 20 minute Fujita/Shiozaki staredown and the discourse is gonna be insane.

Been trying to find some words about Joe Doering. His loyalty and dedication to All Japan will never be forgotten. He could have (and probably should have) gone anywhere he wanted, but he stayed. He worked hard. He was truly one of a kind. This sucks.

The family of Tony Brown, the trailblazing black journalist died last week at 93. His "Tony Brown's Journal" was the longest running series in the history of PBS. He was the founding dean of Howard's communication school and later inaugural dean Hampton's journalism school.

In the tradition of the black press, he rejected the activist/journalist distinction. Just one example: In 1963, he helped coordinate a 500,000 person march in Detroit where it is believed Martin Luther King first gave a version of the I Have A Dream speech.

July 1 2022 I wrestled what would be Joe Doering’s last match.

A month prior I’d noticed something was off with Joe. But it never crossed my mind that his cancer might have returned. In my mind he’d already faced that battle and won.

I’ve thought about it all countless times since and never asked. I think he knew the cancer had returned or at least had a gut feeling. Regardless he kept it all to himself. When it came time for the match he was down for everything. Angle slam off the apron to the floor? Let’s do it. Superplex? He was down.

I remember going to him before the match and telling him “Joe hopefully I don’t regret this. But I really want you to lay your stuff in on me out there. If you clothesline me I want my boots to come loose.” He kind of smirked like only Joe could and agreed. (And he sure did what I asked 😂)

We had a 20+ main event title match on ppv. I can’t imagine the pain or discomfort he was feeling at the time. But in true Joe fashion he was an absolute warrior.

Joe always was a professional. A class act and one hell of a wrestler. I left that match sore as shit but proud. It’s a strange feeling being both honoured and sad to have been the one that he closed out his career with. I’m just fortunate to have known him both in and out of the ring.

He fought cancer for so long. I can only hope that now he can finally rest.

❤️Joe

Setting aside particulars of union contract (which I obviously don't have) - that anyone working at ProPublica would be driving for Uber Eats is grotesque.

ProPublica's 2025 revenue was $70 million (on $50 million expenses). They *made* $20 million last year.

The best estimates say that philanthropy gives something like $150 million a year to journalism. ProPublica gets 1 in 6 of those dollars ($21.7 million in foundation donations last year)
