@WrestleTalk_TV Best worker that isn't main event rn and he should be! LA Knight and Joe Hendry could do a tag team together but I'd rather he got a legit push.

Of course WWE can't book for shit lately and openly ignores naturally getting over talent.

[WrestleTalk @WrestleTalk_TV]

LA Knight thinks the reason his crowd reactions have cooled off slightly is due to a lack of clear direction for his character on WWE TV:

“In March of 2023 was the first time I noticed (the crowd getting behind him), but noticing it continue to pick up and continuing to progress would have been just all through that spring and summer.

"But the crazy thing is, I think there were a lot of people leaning on the idea that that was going to be a fad. There were a lot of people leaning on the idea that was going to be a flavor of the month, that that was going to be a passing thing, and here we are, 2026, I walk in the ring last night. Now, you could argue, yeah, maybe the reactions aren’t quite as big as they were at that time. I’m gonna tell you why that is in a second, but if you notice last night, I still circle around, I get the thing, and I stand there, and they still chant the name.

"Now, you could say that’s programming, you could say that’s passion, you could say it’s whatever it is. Bottom line is, it’s still there. However, the reason it’s not as big as it was is because right now I’m just kind of a man without a country, so to speak. I don’t have a set trajectory at this moment. If you look at last year, last summer, when I started, all of a sudden me and Seth were going for the title, and it’s me and The Vision. There it was renewed again.

"So it’s a matter of just making sure that I’ve got direction, I’ve got somewhere to go, and I’ve got somewhere that people care about, and something that people can sink their teeth into that then takes it up from an 8 up to a 10 and beyond. So I think that’s really just the key to the whole thing, and it’s kind of crazy that it’s kept on this long when I don’t think a lot of people are counting on that being the case.”

@WrestleOps Another disaster coming. And ofc Cody won't drop the belt to Gunther on SD. Idk why they even put this match on SD.

It's gonna be a shady finish since WWE won't put certain people over clean.

[takashi miike @takashithewhop]

When exactly did the trope of " Be Black. Be Killed First" start?

I'm curious to hear from actual people and not Google it because I think I'd see a wider range of explanations from actual people?

I'm genuinely curious when and why this started in film? It's hard to ignore because it does happen quite often we see Black actor/actresses but I'd say more with Black men.

Is there a literal time frame somewhere in cinema when it started or was it a gradual over time?

@WrestlePurists Oh my gawd this is like a dream come true 😂

[WrestlePurists @WrestlePurists]

NJPW announced a partnership with JapanesePod101 to teach fans Japanese through wrestling:

“New Japan Pro-Wrestling is pleased to announce a new collaborative project with JapanesePod101.

For regular JapanesePod101 viewers and users, this collaborative content will serve as an introduction to a key part of Japanese sporting and popular culture they might not have explored before.”

If it isn't as action packed and violent as The Raid 2 or The Night Comes for Us then it's automatically boring to me.

Once you get a steady diet of ultra violent action you can't go back to regular American action films imho.

The Raid, The Raid 2, The Shadow Strays, Carter, Headshot, The Night Comes For Us, Baby Assassins 1 -3 with 3 being the best of them yet. Ballerina (not John Wick) is incredible, Havoc with Tom Hardy is closest I go to American action. John Wick is good but not fast enough for me.

Cody beats Gunther AGAIN for Championship today in Portugal at live event.

Well so it'll be Cody vs Gunther III eventually next PLE. Oh wait we don't count house shows anymore do we?

Wonder if Gunther did the door under rope again? Anyone able to confirm how Cody got the win?

@Gullitxtra @WrestleOps @SBJ Gullit you hitting the name on the head! Preach my brother!

[GULLIT @Gullitxtra]

@WrestleOps @SBJ No wonder the product is so bad this days . If you don’t listen how do you learn and improve?

[takashi miike @takashithewhop]

Company running the Bloodline storyline longer then the entire NWO storyline went has no credibility to me.

Once you buddied up with TKO you made you bed and you can lie in it.

Fans are tired of same shit. I get not wanting to engage "trolls" or feed them but this statement seems oddly timed imo.

[takashi miike @takashithewhop]

Incantation on Netflix is one of the best "scary" films I hadn't seen yet and it delivers the goods.

If my wife likes a foreign horror / suspense film it must be good 😆

Really loved it. Been spoiled lately. Obsession, Backrooms, Incantation tonight. Anyone got something good to recommend next?

[takashi miike @takashithewhop]

But it seems Whalefall might be dropping a trailer soon... Idk if it can be as good as the book was. It was a faster read and for myself hard to put down. Finished it in 2 days. Then reread it. Loved it!

Cmon Disney don't screw this up for me.

[takashi miike @takashithewhop]

Soab. No new Doomsday trailer. As I now read it was a Pop Up Coffee Shop? What the hell Russo Bros?

Well at this point I'd prefer NO TRAILER and be surprised by everything but that won't happen lol.

[takashi miike @takashithewhop]

Wow! Had to watch finale episode of Euphoria at work on my tele. Man I was NOT prepared for that.

We will be talking about this episode and finale for a long time to come.

Won't post spoilers but if your like me and were emotionally invested your going to love or hate it. No middle ground imo.

That said imo - KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!

[takashi miike @takashithewhop]

Thank you for showing the replay of the Mask vs Mask match. I missed it live and super glad I'm watching now!

Living up to the hype definitely! Both men putting on a clinic of wrestling and storytelling!

@RottenTomatoes I feel like this is going to be one of the more serious Marvel films. Things seem like the intensity will be much higher and my gawd am I excited!
