This type of stuff along with the constant barrage of complaints from the IWC feeds strongly into the tag lines about the IWC often being bad for rasslin as a whole.

The exceptions are the parade of cool ass YouTube vids and documentaries about old wrestling years and feuds. I found a dude basically doing video book reports about All Japan’s 90s era a few weeks back. GOOD FUCKING TIMES! And he’s done several more recent recaps too. I’m gonna be all up on those too. And I’ll survive even when he goes a little too nerdy.

The good news is that AEW put their best foot forward on the Huber tribute show and it was good times overall.

And like we’ve been saying, it’s great to see what it looks like when a person is well-liked. We’re constantly pushed around by discussions surrounding unliked people so I appreciate the contrast even if I hate the circumstances. My last few years has had far too many funerals in them.
