Wow I agree with all of this but you didn’t need to call him a cunt at the end bro

[“Smart” Mark Sterling, Esq. @MarkSterlingEsq]

Let me ask you a few questions, Colin.

First, does this actually upset you? Does the action in this clip genuinely make you, as a human being, angry or sad?

If the answer is no (which I suspect it is), I encourage you to move on. It's something that happened during a wrestling match on a television show. You have no control over it. So who cares? Get a coffee. Do something productive. Enjoy your day.

If the answer is yes (meaning you are experiencing genuine anger or sadness because a referee jumped during a wrestling match), my advice is exactly the same. Get a coffee. Do something productive. Enjoy your day.

That being said, I'll briefly engage with your criticism because I do want to understand where you're coming from.

From your perspective, a professional wrestling referee is supposed to be invisible. Their job is to enforce the rules, count to three, and otherwise stay out of the way. Correct?

Well, as someone who has spent years training for and working in professional wrestling, I can tell you that you're generally correct.

My suspicion is that you heard this particular "rule" on a podcast or read it in an article, and you've since adopted it as an absolute. An unbreakable commandment of professional wrestling. Something that must NEVER be violated, under any circumstances, or else the entire presentation is somehow compromised.

But here's where I'd encourage you to consider a different perspective.

A referee should be invisible 99.9% of the time.

And that is precisely why something like this can be entertaining.

It's unexpected. It's unusual. It's different from everything else happening on the show. The very convention you're so passionately defending is what allows a moment like this to stand out when it's occasionally broken.

If referees were doing this in every match, it wouldn't be special. But they aren't. That's the point.

Professional wrestling is an art form. And like any art form, it requires a willingness to appreciate nuance, context, and the occasional departure from convention. If you insist on interpreting every moment through an inflexible set of rules, you're going to miss an awful lot of wonderful entertainment.

Now, perhaps your objection is that the referee's actions were unrealistic or impractical?

If that's the case, I'd argue that four enormous professional wrestlers competing inside a smaller-than-normal wrestling ring ON A BOAT is precisely the sort of unusual circumstance in which a normally inconspicuous referee might need to jump, dodge, or otherwise get the hell out of the way of incoming traffic.

Seems pretty reasonable to me.

And finally, allow me to pull back the curtain just a little bit.

Professional wrestling is a performance, and performers make creative decisions based on their environment, their audience, and the atmosphere they're trying to create.

If you're wrestling inside a steel cage during a bitter blood feud, you might choose to emphasize violence, intensity, and absolute seriousness.

If you're WRESTLING ON A BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN, surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd of people who have gathered specifically to enjoy the absurd spectacle of professional wrestling on a boat, you might occasionally choose to do something unusual, exciting, or even a little ridiculous.

Because you're entertaining people.

That's the job.

From my perspective, this was a fun, memorable moment designed to entertain the live audience. It worked within the unique circumstances of that particular show.

And here's something I think is especially important for you to understand, Colin:

This moment was not necessarily created for you.

Not everything that happens in professional wrestling is specifically tailored to your personal preferences.

Not every meal is made for your mouth.

Not every story is written for your enjoyment.

And not every creative decision needs to satisfy your particular interpretation of how professional wrestling is supposed to work.

Cont.

@willismygoat There’s more than enough! I’ll likely do a video on it in January.

It’s weird because the whole Ospreay and Swerve staff happens throughout the storyline, so it’s more of a specific Hangman story than Mox vs Hangman.

As voted on by our lovely Dropmick Division patrons...

BLACKPOOL COMBAT CLUB vs THE ELITE

[Dropmick Wrestling @dropmick]

Right, it’s time to address the elephant in the room.

In July 2026, our Dropmick Division patrons were meant to have a Bullet Club video, chronicling the full formation of Bullet Club through to the present day. Due to purchasing a house - hooray for me - this video had to be delayed.

In September 2026, we received a request to refrain from posting New Japan Pro-Wrestling video content. We've accepted this.

As of right now, that Bullet Club video is shelved while we work out what we can/cannot do.

We’ve already been asked to refrain from posting and don’t want to push our luck.

We’ll update you all when we can!

[pepsi enjoyer @looneydoomed]

@dropmick bullet club video. was promised. in july.

[Dropmick Wrestling @dropmick]

To be fair, I don’t see how that tracks.

- Omega/Danielson happens in September 2021.
- Omega out with an injury for 9 months and comes back to win trios titles.
- Omega suspended for two months.
- Omega back and in trios programme with Death Triangle.
- Omega and Bucks win & drop titles at Revolution 2023.
- Danielson is injured post-MJF at Revolution 2023.
- Programme begins with BCC.
- Danielson returns at DoN for Anarchy and gets injured again.
- Danielson back in time to face Okada at Forbidden Door while Omega faces Ospreay, which was set up over past year.
- Danielson breaks his arm at FD vs Okada.
- Danielson misses All In 2023. Omega teams with Hangman/Ibushi vs BCG.
- Danielson returns a week later, early from injury, to replace a fired CM Punk vs Ricky Starks at All Out.
- Omega faces Takeshita at All Out, which was also set up earlier in the year.
- Danielson and Omega are apart for two months actively, and then Omega has his diverticulitis crisis.

All in all, I wrote this to ask what you’re talking about? “Waiting so long for singles” matches is bogus.

They did Omega vs Danielson on TV immediately and then followed it up soon after with Hangman vs Danielson.

@dropmick Another video??? LFG

[Lucy @LucyisjustLucy]

I'm 5 years sober today thanks to this post. I've no doubt I'd still be drinking (or dead) today without the kick it gave me.
Thank you everyone who ever shared their struggle, you have helped more people than you know. Jon Moxley saved my life although he'll never know it ❤️

[JJ @Alvar76596Jerry]

@dropmick R.I.P PAC, but ngl when this was announced, I loved every match. I personally loved the Falls Count Anywhere match.

How it feels not being from Japan calling non-Japanese wrestlers "Gaijins"

[Ted From Sharpshootin @TedFromThePWO]

Agent reacting to the Dropmick video recapping the Swerve and Hangman feud on one of his streams would get a lot of his audience into AEW. Somebody needs make that happen.
