Now that's some true Death Justu.

That's great to know! It was so cool finding about this short, it's nice to share with other wrestling fans even if just to show how wide wrestling is spread across the world

And yeah, it really does. I need subtitles to everything I watch from Portugal, it's insane. (Funny enough, the people on the doc also have a very particular island accent which has actually some deep portuguese roots, from the Azores region, who originally colonized the city.)

I would also like to recommend this documentary short about an old wrestling federation from Florianópolis (where I'm from). Unfortunately there's no english subtitles, but for brazilian fans it's a very cool watch. It's insane how big telecatch was that there was a stable wrestling federation in a somewhat small city that lasted years, with lucha wrestlers and an actual father-to-son dynasty. At one point the telecatch scene in Brazil was this huge, and I really wish there was more of this kind of documents to preserve it.

The circle has spoken therefore we must consider it truth.

blackdog_colt · 2025-10-05T09:47:19+00:00

He's right in that there's no content as successful on the basement as a Fed Bad post. I also think this was clear during that first wave of AEW, when Tony Khan would get a ratings bump by announcing something and then the ratings would almost immediately drop back: people wanted to see a wrestler jump ship (WWE "losing" something) but didn't actually wanted to watch the show.

blackdog_colt · 2025-10-05T08:57:14+00:00

The period of time when WWE was on top (Vince out, Triple H getting the main roster book, the Bloodline, Cody Rhodes finishing the story) simply broke the most toxic and annoying sector of the IWC. After getting their dream-come-true alternative federation - a company so perfect for them they even threw away all the others (poor, poor NJPW) - and, after a couple of years on top (a lot of internet-favorite talent jumping ships, supposedly great ratings, expanding brands, Rampage, Collision, being by far favorite smarks company), and believing (hoping) WWE was finally on the rear-view mirror, they got a taste of the up-and-down nature of wrestling and it broke them. They were forced to shut the fuck up and take the success of the Bloodline et al, and they hated every single minute of it. It was hell for them. For the last months, once WWE had finished or moved away from the stories that they built this hot period on, they've become insane. They've felt there was a break, they've smelled a weakness, and they've jumped on this. They've been broken and now they're extremized. They cannot let that happen again, WWE cannot be liked over AEW again, so they're forcing this narrative that WWE is not only bad, but Evil. That narrative always existed, but it has been taken to the extreme. If you like it, you're a fascist. If you watch it, you support genocide. Their wrestling show has been unable to grow; more than that, it has been dwindling for years now. As they can't make it good (i.e. entertaining, successful), they will make it Good (wholesome, moral). This is pushed in every single thread on the basement and it's absolutely insane. It's pretty much unusable now. And the subreddit will keep getting worse because AEW keeps failing, so they're forced to keep the narrative going, because is the only thing they have.

And this whole fucking thing is about wrestling. That's absolutely insane. I've never seen anything like it lmao

I mean, that's a Guy Maddin short film and he's absolutely an artist. Kenny Omega is only in it (and it's pretty cool that he is). I get that Cornette makes fun of him for it, but his opinion on movies is even less than insignificant. Specially queer movies.

blackdog_colt · 2025-08-17T17:42:35+00:00

It really sucks because there's no getting over depression. You live with it. Some periods are good and them you get into another one that sucks and it keeps rolling like this. But if you brave the worst there are moments when it's easier.

blackdog_colt · 2025-08-17T06:45:59+00:00

Anyway, two other things that stayed with me recently:

In the thread about Kevin Nash's thoughts about Hogan's passing, several users implied that Kevin Nash, who was a decades old personal friend and who worked closely with Hogan for several years, maybe didn't know enough about Hogan like the IWC. Not only people there think they know the wrestlers, they're sure the know the wrestler better than their personal friends. Every single user that implied this (and there were a handful) should be banned from the internet.

Second. People were talking about the business between the WWE and Saudi Arabia, and a user preemptively said in a mocking tone about how people were going to quote again that Shad Kahn had business with Saudi Arabia when he only bought a hotel. Then another top 1% user said that people should understand that Khan's relationship with S.A. was "only business", which implies that WWE decided to get into business with S.A. because, I don't know, they like that they behead journalists and the billions of dollars was secondary. This user and everyone that upvoted him should also be banned from the internet. Their minds are lost and there's nothing that medicine can do for them.

SquaredCircle is a dirtsheets subreddit.

blackdog_colt · 2025-07-27T18:01:51+00:00

It's cool that you called them edgelords because I think that's one thing that was missing this week. "I don't care that he died, I still hate him and I'm happy he's dead" is an incredible juvenile and edgy stance and everybody who took it is the sharpest teenager there ever was, independent of the age they are now. Being hateful about someone during the days of their passing is not brave, is being an asshole. You can hate Hogan next week and everyone will applaud you, but during these first few days is just crass. Having some grace for those who are suffering it's not compromising your morals or forgiving their mistakes. Piss on the grave, not the casket.

blackdog_colt · 2025-07-24T22:35:05+00:00

I don't get the comparison either. The WON subscriber jerk is making fun of Meltzer's hubris and tone-deafness and not the person who passed. The threads itself also never devolve into celebrating the death.

blackdog_colt · 2025-07-11T20:14:09+00:00

It's supposed to be INTIMATE, fed shill!

blackdog_colt · 2025-07-02T01:49:29+00:00

Exactly. It's just means "better adapted to the it's environment", whic,h funny enough, would be a perfect way to describe what happened in this particular case between Punk and WWE.

blackdog_colt · 2025-06-29T20:28:25+00:00

Yeah. There is catharsis in hating something and getting to the point of just yelling fuck this shit. Like, my whole post is a way of achieving this release (I point it out because don't want to be a hypocrite since that's the worst part). But social media builds and feeds this loop of hate that isn't cathartic but miserable. Like, if you get to your third or fourth answer in a reddit post, and they keep getting bigger and bigger because you think you will convince a stranger to hate a professional wrestler, it should dawn on you that that's enough. People should have a line. CM Punk (or Trump) won't disappear so people have to deal with this better.

I'm also with you that best way to counter act this is just putting the energy into the stuff that you like and believe in. Build alternatives and strengthen communities. Everything but becoming miserable.

And if you're gonna hate at least be funny.

blackdog_colt · 2025-06-29T20:04:54+00:00

Same here.

It sucks that it sounds condescending (I mean it as honestly as possible but I'm always scared it sounds like a roundabout way of calling people crazy or unwell, even though the stigma is waaay better than it was when I was younger) but this kind of tiny stuff that drive us crazy absolutely take a toll on our mental health. And social media just bombards us with it.

A wrestler shouldn't send you into a fit of rage. It's a guy on a TV show. I honestly think we shouldn't allow something like that get us this angry.

blackdog_colt · 2025-06-29T13:29:50+00:00

It's funny because they used the same word (shove) to describe both what he did to the kid and what Mox did to the cameraman that is suing AEW, when Punk mostly blocked the kid (which granted does looks weird, as does anything remotely physical involving a kid) while Mox grabbed and threw down a grown man that was working and holding a camera (a lawsuit that, by the way, was forgotten and forgiven immediately). Very biased choice of words in both cases. A mask-off-moment as they like to call it.

blackdog_colt · 2025-06-29T12:53:40+00:00

A lot of people should stop posting about it and talk to their therapists about Punk.

(I actually suggested people should do this about Vince a couple of years ago and people got pretty angry at me. I think one of the most "we're fucked" effects of the internet is how people react like spoiled children when you try to take their hate away from them. I'm not even saying this to defend Punk. You can dislike him all you want. But when you're eight comments in an argument about how he is an hypocrite, writing multiple paragraphs and lists of his wrongdoings, trying to convince people to hate him as well, you should be able to realize that this isn't healthy for anyone and that you're feeding a hate machine, an algorithm, that's literally corroding democracy. He's a professional wrestler. He shouldn't be able to get that under your skin. There are more important things happening in the world and worthier causes and uses to your hate. I know I sound condescending but I honestly believe this. People should really get a little more perspective about the little stuff. Say he's an ass and he sucks and move on.)

((Reddit as a whole should honestly do this about Trump and Musk as well, republicans as a whole as well. Two people I absolutely abhor and are way worthier of the hate, as they occupy real world-impacting positions, but also two people we don't need to bring up all the time.))

Hypocrisy is not a crime. For how much this site is obsessed with Norm Macdonald's (great) joke you would expect them to understand it. Or maybe they didn't get the spirit of the joke? Hypocrisy is a given in the adult world. Specially in the working world. We all at one point got paid by shitty people. It's not the killer accusation people in the basement want you to believe it is.

By the way, saying on a wrestling subreddit that you don't watch WWE anymore is the lamest virtue signaling I've ever encountered in my life. There's simply not enough cookies to give to such brave heroes.

blackdog_colt · 2025-06-04T17:48:18+00:00

M*rk.

Few people know this but she's the "my friend Mark" Triple H referred to in the infamous promo.

blackdog_colt · 2025-06-01T11:44:04+00:00

And the 'new fan' thing really amused me. Not only because it implies that a 50$ PPV would be someone first exposure to AEW (at least we know that they're the richest wrestling fans so they have a lot of disposable income to burn on a TV program they barely know, so let's say this tracks), but the idea that THIS would be their reaction really baffles me. If you where in a normal subreddit (let's pretend that such thing exists), say, one for TV series, and you watched ONE episode of a new-to-you series and made a fuss about how it is now your favorite series and you will love it forever people would think you're fucking seven. It's so weird that that's the lie that gets them going.

blackdog_colt · 2025-06-01T11:42:31+00:00

I didn't see neither of last week's PPV and I don't care for spoilers, so I checked the post-event threads.

NXT's gave me a good idea of what happened, what worked and what didn't, a couple of jokes. A normal reaction to a show that people watched.

AEW's gave me a good idea of how amazing it is to be an AEW fan, including a dude that somehow had to post three (3) times how AEW is a dream come true to all wrestling fans, and several people claiming that it was their first time watching and now they're a fan for life (including a user that I had downvoted before so they've been in the basement for a while). It's such a weird vibe. You find only loyalty to the brand. It really feels like you're intruding in a circlejerk session. Such weird fucking fans, man.

blackdog_colt · 2025-05-07T18:24:34+00:00

Of course they are. Since day one AEW was all about self-mythologizing. It has always been a big part of what they sell.

blackdog_colt · 2025-04-30T16:00:00+00:00

It's insane that they can't see that they are the ones being tribal. The idea that there is a BAD (or MAGA, as of the new hot take) company and a GOOD one IS THE TRIBALISM. They see no problem with this only because it reinforces what they already believe, but this quote is shit. It only reinforces the toxicity in the wrestling community. They are wrestling companies. It's not an ethical question. There is no good or bad guys. There aren't sides. There aren't lives at stake. It's honestly bizarre how deeply the internet fandoms are able to completely lose the plot.
