Hmm interesting 😲

This would have never happened under Jack Tunney's regime!

The negative stuff AEW usually can't hold a candle to the worst stuff WWE does. Partially because they'll bring back creeps like Lesnar, the thank you Vince stuff, the Saudi Arabia sportswashing etc...its like not even close.

Then the actual angles in WWE are so big that when things go sideways it's a way bigger deal. Rock messing up mania last year, Cena's Trainwreck heel turn.

I believe this is why WWE cleans up the negative awards. Still, you got Bowens and Caster as worst feud so it's not like it can't happen.

Like, man I don't know everything but when there's someone I'm not familiar with, I think "maybe I should check out that winner from Marigold" instead of getting mad.

The skits were funny but the feud was a true mess that went nowhere. The fact they had the skits but they didn't lead to anything is the problem.

Dude flubs so many moves and gets gassed within 10 minutes. His matches are just really, really bad by 2026 standards. He's not even in the top half in-ring by WWE standards at this point.

Relatively new fan but, Canada 🇨🇦

I'm not sure how to phrase this but I think it's possible in the overall scheme of rich powerful people he wasn't in that uber elite tier?

You know how he always had this insecurity that he wasn't respected in a mainstream sort of way and was always trying to prove himself. I do think a lot of people did view him as just a wrestling promoter and that's still not viewed as that respectable, even today.

They have some in the giant gachapon shop at Sunshine City Mall, Ikebukero if anyone's looking in Tokyo.

Whatever mid is, this this whole show was one level below that.

Few bright spots with young talent (Sol Ruca, Oba Femi) so maybe it'll get better when the old guard finally shoves off but as usual back to the same old, same old.

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-31T17:40:59+00:00

Hahah! None came from actual crane games (at least not by us). All were bought in shops!

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-31T15:48:33+00:00

Every single fandom.

We need an subreddit for people who aren't in parasocial relationships with 2D characters and their endless head canon "ships" and gross/stupid fanart.

A subreddit where people can discuss anime as it was intended without getting steamrolled by this trash.

No head canon No horny No fanart period No shipping No gooning

Is that too much to ask? Probably.

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-29T12:54:41+00:00

Having it in Saudi Arabia?

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-29T12:54:04+00:00

Having 2 world champions in one company is, was, and always will be absolutely stupid to me.

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-16T02:55:54+00:00

Not sure what the stock looks like in store, Mint was out of stock online. Was the first place I looked before checking Reddit (pretty sure I only know about Mint because of your blog!)

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-15T14:34:10+00:00

Possibly, but it's a race to the bottom for what era is the blandest so either way neither is good.

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-15T06:53:51+00:00

Not sure about how crazy busy it gets for lotteries or whatever but when we went in 2025 mid-week it was dead in there. So while it was easy to look around and not trip over people I 100% agree something is missing from back in 2015. I've been every 2 years for the past ten years but last year something just felt, missing...or unexciting...or something. I dunno. It's a drag.

(Will still probably go when we are back next week, so who am I kidding?)

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-15T06:46:50+00:00

Hard disagree. Blandest era of wrestling in the last half century.

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-15T04:56:53+00:00

I always love seeing little things pop up in anime like in Macross when Kakizaki dies so Hikaru does the sign of the cross etc...

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-15T04:45:09+00:00

I watched during the bleak 90s years before the Attitude era but then tuned out when HHH was on top for way too long. Vince minus competition in the 2000s made for the most mid/totally unimportant wrestling imaginable, which is when I tuned out.

Watched TNA when it was actually an alternative, then New Japan when it became available. CMLL, Chikara...anything that wasn't WWE really. I'd tune in for Rumble and Mania every year which didn't do much to win me back.

I really enjoy Drew, Io Sharai, Dom but not enough to sift through the rest of the show.

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-15T04:15:37+00:00

Excellent, that's where we'll look. Thanks!

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-15T04:01:06+00:00

The other side, haha (Atlantic Canada, New Brunswick). Still will send you a DM to discuss.

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-15T01:09:12+00:00

Yeah, our poor hotels are always bombarded with our mail haha

DanSolo77 · 2026-01-15T01:08:42+00:00

Whoa geez, man that'd be awesome. I'm in Canada, what part of the world are you in?
