My guess? She (and maybe other like minded dullards) feels that it makes arguing for taxpayer funded health care too easy because it really is more essential than an education. Read more

And there was, in fact, another NJPW match there a few years later in 1991: Hiroshi Hase vs. Tiger Jeet Singh for some reason. Saito is the sort of referee overseeing it. 

That’s fair. Sheik/Duggan is probably the most famous to the general public, but Saito/Patera is probably the most legendary within wrestling. Read more

This will forever be my favorite part of the story. Especially if the rock/boulder was really THIRTY THREE POUNDS. Patera not throwing it would require some of the dumbest bad luck in human history. Read more

Just seeing this article now, but I got the impression that since the NYC IDs aren't federal IDs, they were asked to show their passports, which had the "discrepancy." Why this would lead to calling border patrol and not just "sorry, you can't come in, call your kid," well... Read more

His big line doesn't even make any sense. The question is cynical, not naive. Read more

Kind of? WRP was supposed to be more like a non-fantasy, built for binging Lucha Underground, which this is not. I still don’t really understand why WRP never came out when the expensive part (the shoot at Henson Studios) was already done. IIRC, there were even people who offered to do the edit for free for the… Read more

Starks was the one guy I hadn’t really heard of before past occasionally seeing his name in results and he was SUPER impressive.  Great look, can talk, great in the ring...he was the big surprise and I hope this leads to him breaking out.  Read more

Well, that’s certainly suboptimal. Read more

The carts were only for the Alamo Dome, weren’t they? Read more

I watched the first Spring Break on the stream (fell asleep and watched the last few matches a day or two later) and went to the second one live. The first was less of a traditionally great wrestling show on paper and I thought it delivered on what it promised, especially since Riddle-Severn greatly exceeded… Read more

Same here. I had basically promised myself I’d pick Takeover next year after SuperCard dragged to the degree it did, but this is SO intriguing. Read more

Now that they killed those tunnels, MSG is only distinct from the inside if they show the ceiling. Read more

This may be a nitpick, but just because Omega called it a dark match doesn't mean that it actually was one. It went out on the stream and opened the show. Read more

I don’t know if there’s a double standard as much as the language barrier inhibiting the awareness and potential reporting. Read more

THERE ARE TWO?!! Read more

Holy crap, is Eric Loy. How are you doing these days? :) Read more

To be perfectly clear, I don’t/didn’t mean it in any kind of legal sense, just that basically every story that’s in the ether about how he’s discussed the topic makes him come off as an entitled creep. Legally speaking? He’s paid his debt to society, of course. Read more

...what issue with Omega? Do I think that the possibility of him lying about it makes it more newsworthy? Yes. Read more

What about the article sounds vindictive? It’s incredibly fair to Omega (Jebailey, too) and draws no conclusions about what actually happened behind the scenes. (Saying one of them must have lied is a statement of fact since it’s about two directly contradictory statements.) Read more
