If this isn't genuine unhappiness, what is it?

There has to be a company or style of wrestling that must work for you. It's unhealthy if it takes a toll on your wellbeing. Not trying to be an ass here.

We talk out of the wrong parts of our mouths. Then we’ve got that annoying cadence that turns everything into a question. But when you’re a semi-trained TV professional, they teach you to change the way to speak and try and temper the weird inflections. So what you get is this annoying TV accent that is like “fake newsreader voice” for maybe a US comparison.

But then you get actors and TV personnel who just aren’t very good, and they can’t help shake the bumpkin. That’s McKay and Macintosh.

A few weeks ago, someone posted a thing about how Bill DeMott wanted Omega to work a body part and not do any wild moves. So, Omega worked the ass.

The reason why I bring this up is because here is a match where Stan Hansen wrestles a Stan Hansen match. He also... works a body part.

Also, it's his 72nd Birthday today.

I initially thought it was going to be some sort of joke of saying Trevor Murdoch looks like John Goodman thanks to the screenshot... with overdubing him with lines from King Ralph or The Big Lebowski or somesuch.

Then, the narration begins, and it really is John Goodman giving a classy narration on a tastefully straightfoward historical wrestling piece.

I feel afool.

It’s been easier than I suspect. I’ve checked the news a couple of times and listened to some Cornette YouTube clips (not his full show, I’m even off criticism of wrestling). I think I might be properly done soon.

Thanks for the memories, wrestling. You got me through some weird times growing up. But it’s time I realized you haven’t been good to me in a long, long time. Fuck off and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

The WWE surely gets a lot of the blame, but AEW was it for me. I just can’t. The self-indulgent disregard of there being any sort of art to this. The complete waste of potential. I went from being optimistic about wrestling to seeing so clearly that this is not going to be something a reasonable person can enjoy in record time.

So a special big fuck you to AEW for that. And also fuck TPWW for housing some of the most insecure and gormless little marks. I was right when I said WWE sucked way back, and I am right when I say AEW sucks right now.

I’m off to read some books or something.

And that definitely helped "tell the story" for sure. Was a good way to capture the emotions of the moment.

If they want it to be developmental like it was originally intended then it’s weird that that wasn’t always the case.

It’s gonna be terrible. Basically like watching Raw or Smackdown but without the occasional star power. But having the guys who oversee the main product oversee the future of the main product seems logical.

Will prob end the cycle of people's gimmicks being changed after they are called up

Vince should be slowing down and he’s adding extra to his pad.

I know we all spent years hoping for a heel turn but Jesus fucking Christ, John.

That's mostly due to Dusty dying and with him went the original focused vision or direction for NXT as a developmental system. Add in Triple H's early success with using NXT as WWE's attack brand against ROH and the indies, him letting the very positive reception from the IWC get to his head, and him developing the same hoarding mentality Vince had and you get all the deep rooted problems that plagued NXT over the years.

The worst problem was Triple H's vision for WWE's future wasn't anywhere close to Vince's vision and Vince being unwilling to adapt. That's why Vince still has the same mentality since the end of the Attitude Era of only caring about getting a couple new stars every so often to freshen up the main roster and the rest being completely disposable.
