@Clemkem72 Hi ... they will restart at some point. I needed to catch my breath but have a plan to bring them back. It may be a while longer but it will happen.

Looks like a lot of people didn't get Wrestling Playlists this morning. It looks like it did go out but it didn't go to my inbox either. I don't want to resend in case it goes out later but it's on the Substack if you want to check it out.

If you’re a young wrestler - listen to this. The freedom to fail. You shouldn’t be streaming every time you’re on a show. Go out, try stuff, find what works - keep it and dump the bad stuff.

#OnThisDay in 1969: St. Paul, Minnesota: The Hartford Courant carried an Associated Press item on Lillie Jordan’s 104th birthday, noting her unusual life philosophy: she never smoked, drank or chewed, and watched wrestling on television because “it takes my mind off things.”

I have to say, I am also honored that 30 minutes after Wrestling Playlists is supposed to go out, if people haven't received it I start hearing from them to make sure I'm alive.

[Anthony @AnthonyG0528]

Ok, this is funny 😂🤣😂

Our first of several pieces we'll be writing for Bruiser. Here's @wrestlingbubble and I talking joshi and orchestral accompaniment and reading into things that may not be there

[Wrestling Playlists (RIP old acct @pwoloss) @realpwoloss]

Competition among wrestling companies is strong both in the U.S. and Japan in ‘89. In Japan, that means trying to outdo one another with better wrestling. In the U.S., it means off-camera sabotage and tactical warfare.

@improvmookie A big deal! Congrats.

@orlandocgarcia They are conflating story and plot.

@noestoyentuiter If I used 1/1/70, it's probably because it was the best date we had at the time. It's possible it's incorrect. If someone has come out with a different date since then, that is probably the correct one (and a case where I should update my version).

UP NOW: A musical look at August 1988 from @NINaylor.

We all will — it’s just three weeks until the summer solstice!

[Matt D - SC @MattD_SC]

We are doing a World of Sport #matchclub. The plan is to watch one match a month and discuss it here at the end of the Month. You have all JUNE to watch it. I'll make a new post towards the end (28th or so) and we can discuss. The link to this month's match is in the post below.

@VelvetVoiceWS It's an oldie, but have you seen Maeda vs Saito from 5/18/87? That's my all-time pick.
