Sometimes a wrestler. Always a wrestling fan. Usually opinionated and outspoken. Often, to a fault.

Social media is all about bringing people together. The lesson we should learn from social media is that sometimes people are better off staying the fuck away from one another.

[TAPE @tapemachines]

bring back forums for people with thoughts (however dull or annoying) and fan clubs for the nutters. this may "do a bodyslam" on the practice of people discussing professional wrestling on social media, where these groups feel the need to hopelessly interact with each other

It delights me that F.I.S.T. is still F.I.S.T. The right guys are carrying it on...

[Ben F. Silverio @BSilverio20]

@UltimoAnt Say what's up to Dragon Yuki! Solid dude!

[Gran Akuma @__AKUMA]

A lot of people have been shit talking Rich from @voiceswrestling this week over his piece on Sid. A lot of it is bad faith, and the rest is people with poor media literacy. He just spent about 2 hours breaking down the man's career...because he has so much love for the guy.

[RUKUS @MikeyRukus]

The levels of historical significance of Swerve Strickland, a young black man, at his age, leading the charge for this amazing company and main eventing our show at Wembley Stadium cannot be understated. Excuse my language, but I am so fucking proud of him and the mark he is making right now. Can't nobody tell me shit. Swerve is the guy, and will be for many years to come. Go get em kid. 🙏❤️

A rare Michinoku Pro 6-man tag for CWA in Chelsea, MA. The Great Sasuke is reportedly approached here by Kevin Sullivan about working w/WCW. While a deal never materialized, the number of unrealized cruiserweight dream matches is staggering. (2.16.1997) 🦀

[Gran Akuma @__AKUMA]

If modern pro wrestling is hell bent on going "spooky", I wish it would take more inspiration from Kevin Sullivan. He brought that evil/horror movie energy in a real world way that worked perfectly in pro wrestling. He worked so much out of the "Satanic Panic" of the 80s.

@TheEmilJay Robbie Ellis hit Hydra with a Burning Hammer back in the day...

Something modern wrestling game devs should consider. A situation where it legitimately used to be better.

[Melonbread @Melonbread1979]

#ToukonRetsudenDidYouKnow To reduce anti-climatic finishes, in TR2 they introduced a "Submission Chance Percentage" for each submission move (assuming limb HP is at 0). For moves like sleepers, this percentage is 0%. There are character-specific exceptions - see video for these.

[Gran Akuma @__AKUMA]

One of the coolest DLC announcements yet. The orange pants with the green sash and boots shows these guys are real ones.

[Ultra Pro Wrestling @upwvideogame]

ANNOUNCEMENT: One of the most requested #UPWDLC wrestlers across all social platforms...

[Gran Akuma @__AKUMA]

This is a really interesting discussion about AEW booking from the perspective of people who understand pro wrestling booking and want to see AEW succeed. Criticism isn't always doom and gloom. Sometimes people point out what's broken because they want to see it get fixed.

[Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com @SeanRossSapp]

John Klingler vs. Ilja vs. WALTER. Treat yourself and witness one of Bad Bones' all timers

[Gran Akuma @__AKUMA]

This is heartbreaking. An absolute sweetheart of a guy.

[wXw Germany @wXwGermany]

Wir verabschieden uns von "Bad Bones" John Klinger.

John Klinger war über ein Jahrzehnt einer der prägenden Wrestler bei wXw. Er hat alle großen Titel bei wXw errungen und sowohl 16 Carat Gold als auch Shortcut to the Top gewonnen. In seinen knapp 450 Matches im wXw-Ring hat er stets hart gearbeitet und sein Bestes gegeben, um seine Fans zu begeistern.

Mit nur 40 Jahren ist John kurz vor seinem geplanten Rücktritt viel zu früh verstorben. Wir wünschen seiner Familie und seinen Freunden viel Kraft in dieser schweren Zeit.

[Gran Akuma @__AKUMA]

I've seen lots of funny stories about Chuck Taylor doing and saying funny things. I'm not surprised by that. He's a funny dude. He's also incredibly knowledgeable about how to get the right response in pro wrestling. He'd be an incredible asset on the creative side of things,imo.

[Drainmaker @TheDrainmaker]

Fightful: Chuck Taylor has been training as a coach/producer for months in AEW.

There are no plans for Chuck Taylor to wrestle again at the moment, as he was well aware of the extent of his injuries.
