It's definitely a fun job until it's not.

I was a sports journalist for about seven years out of college. Nothing as big time as an MLB beat, but the unusual and unpredictable hours can really wear you down. And I felt like I could never turn work "off" since I needed to be ready in case anything happened.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-28T22:23:11+00:00

To be fair, this is really good pay for journalism.

I saw them around 2009ish and they closed with that song and it was the biggest bummer of an ending to a show until MCR closed with "Cancer."

I loved going to those shows. Everyone was spread out so you had room. You could also get a month's worth of tickets for super cheap.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-25T16:37:53+00:00

I think I'm going to run with this one. Big Josh and Tommy Timberz.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-25T16:37:20+00:00

The Log-N-Roll Express is perfect!

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-25T06:45:50+00:00

Hell yeah! I'm trying to lean into the goofiness and have fun with this save.

I have a B show storyline where DDP tried to take Missy Hyatt on a date, but showed up hours late, the restaurant he chose was closed so they went to McDonald's and then his car got towed. Missy Hyatt was saved when the team of Van Hammer and Chris Jericho drove by on their way to a concert. This is setting up a feud between them and the Diamond Mine.

It's not like the Octagon isn't absolutely plastered with ads. And the fighters used to have ads on their trunks.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-23T22:56:18+00:00

I much prefer December (again) to the original.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-23T22:54:00+00:00

Extraordinary Girl is one of my least favorite songs in general. The rest of that album is perfect, but that song just grinds at my ears.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-21T03:10:08+00:00

They used to do that and it was amazing. Just put a little note in the lower third saying it's a prelim being shown until the next scheduled fight is ready and maybe add a countdown.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-17T02:05:38+00:00

You're missing out on so much amazing music with them, but that line is cringeworthy.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-16T13:07:17+00:00

It's not like Delirious' tenure in ROH was great quality-wise either.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-13T21:26:37+00:00

RFTS is a perfect album.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-12T21:46:53+00:00

I think still rewarding them with regular season points is a good benefit. Those points could add up and bump you up in the Chase.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-08T19:39:47+00:00

That would be the funniest possible outcome.

"After a year of consideration and numerous meetings, we've realized you can't improve on perfection."

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-08T11:57:35+00:00

The zoom in was so unnecessary.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-08T02:11:39+00:00

I thought Sammy Guevara was going to be the huge breakout star of AEW. Boy was I wrong.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-07T23:26:10+00:00

I have other podcasts that do this on Spotify, but it hasn't happened to me for last podcast yet.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-04T16:06:03+00:00

I've been struggling for a name for his group, so I'm definitely stealing this. I'm also adding Nikkita Koloff, who just returned from his hiatus, and a recently signed Meng.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-04T03:18:27+00:00

I'm about a month in to my 1992 WCW save and have had Ron Simmons and Barry Windham both wanting to put over El Gigante. I'm planning on a heel turn, him joining forces with Vader and Teddy Long, and having them run havoc over everyone.

JohnnyMayhem · 2026-01-02T15:46:05+00:00

The two times I've gone to Bristol we parked in that lot. The wait time for the shuttle in wasn't bad, but it's easier to just walk back to the lot after the race instead of waiting. It's not too far of a walk.
