It's cloudy right now, perfect weather to go outside and do my yardwork. But I'm all irritated after working all night, so I don't feel like moving or doing anything constructive.
But if I wait until tomorrow, which is my night off, it's supposed to be sunny and hot, which I hate.
So: should I just be irritated outside today because of work and get my yardwork done so tomorrow is clear, or should I do it tomorrow and be irritated then as well because of the sun? Vote early vote often
Speaking of the United States, I finally decided to check out a Jimmy Rave match, specifically Jimmy Rave vs. Kyle Matthews from Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment's AWE Goes to Hell from January 2015. It's nothing mindblowing, but it is a good reminder that Jimmy Rave hasn't lost a step. I need to try to track down his matches against AJ Styles, Johnny Gargano, Martin Stone, Davey Richards, Cedric Alexander and even AR Fox because I want to see what 2015 and 2016 Jimmy Rave can do in higher stakes situations. Matthews, for his part, held up his end of the bargain, but he didn't blow me away.
That said, if you thought ultraviolence was about blood, check out this spot where Rave spits into Matthews's mouth. It truly deserved the Becky Lynch treatment.

There's a good variety to that card. Angle vs. Sabre has high expectations, and Hero vs. Bodom should be very good. Scurll vs. Dar should also be good. I'm curious how Bailey vs. Ospreay goes. And Walter vs. Damo should be a damned hoss-off.
I don't know if there's a fetish being fulfilled there.
I mean, I know it's the Internet, and squash matches are probably helping someone get his or her rocks off. And maybe I'm naive. But it reads to me more like the uploader just wants to share his love of squash matches because back and forth 15-20 minute epics do get tiresome if that's all that's presented.
Meanwhile, someone should watch these Dusty comps on YouTube: part 1 and part 2.
Someone's finally written an article about custom videos starring male wrestlers.
Robert Silverman said:
For the uninitiated, BG East Wrestling is an online marketplace for DVDs, streaming video-on-demand, and downloadable clips of wrestling matches that are intended to titillate and arouse the viewer. There’s a membership option available called The Arena, which grants discounts and otherwise unavailable access to “1000 Pay-per-view Video-on-Demand matches, including EXCLUSIVE match content and HOLDS clips, with 5 added each week.”
And while the visuals are framed in such a manner that clearly pegs them as soft-core pornography—with a heavy filmic emphasis on the participants’ groins and buttocks—for the most part, they do not contain explicit nudity or sexual acts. As BG East’s History and Principles page blares, the eroticism to be found here is in the sport: “These and our many hot new series are based, first and foremost, on a love of WRESTLING!”
Porn is getting weird in general. Or people are being more open with their fantasies. It's to the point that a fella can't even browse video thumbnails on motherless without seeing someone stomping animals, someone smothered in poop, or a bunch of pretend incest stuff. Don't people just like, do it, anymore?
Someone at my workplace is rocking the exact same beard/hair combo as circa WrestleMania 31 Daniel Bryan. In other words he looks ugly as absolute fuck.
I'm guessing it's going to be "The End" of Demon Balor (for a while) because he'll probably take his first L. Plus they're probably going to do a little NXT restructuring or something.
I like the rumor about the Shining Stars. I'm wondering what, specifically, people were supposed to get excited about. The travel agent gimmick? Puerto Rico? Primo and Epico with yet another set of personas?
"A LaFayette woman was arrested on aggravated assault charges after she allegedly pulled a gun on a popular pro wrestler during a match in Ringgold.
The incident has prompted the promoters to consider installing metal detectors at matches.
According to the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Department:
Patricia Anne Crowe, 50, of 604 Chestnut Street, was arrested Saturday, June 4, on charges of aggravated assault and reckless conduct.
She was released from jail Monday evening, June 6, on a $4,000 bond.
The incident occurred around 11 p.m. at the American Wrestling Federation (AWF) arena at 4193 U.S. 41 in Ringgold.
The promotion was putting on its monthly show, when Crowe, a spectator at the event, threatened and attacked long-time wrestler Paul Lee.
Deputies arrived on scene after Crowe allegedly jumped into the ring during the show and pulled a handgun on Lee.
According to Lee and several witnesses, Lee was participating in a match with “Iron Mann,” at which time he tied him up and was hitting him with a chair, reports show.
“I had him tied up and was beating on him, and this lady jumps up with a knife, cuts him loose, and then pulled a loaded gun on me,” Lee said. “She had that thing loaded with one in the chamber and the safety off. All it would have taken was for her to get shaky with that thing and it could have fired.”
Crowe also pointed the gun at the show’s commissioner “Robbie Rude,” reports show.
Lee says the woman has been to shows before and should have known that the incident going on with the other wrestler was part of the show.
“She’s been to several shows over the years off and on, but she was acting like a nut Saturday night,” Lee said.
Lee, whose character is a “heel” or “bad guy,” often banters back and forth with spectators as part of the show, but it rarely turns physical.
“We’ve done fraternity shows at colleges and stuff before where drunk college kids will try to run into the ring or something, but nothing like this,” Lee said. “In about 1992, at another location, we were doing a show and I got stabbed by about a six-inch blade by a fan. Fans usually don’t get involved though, they usually just watch.”
According to police Cpl. Chris Faulk, Crowe admitted she pulled the gun on Lee because of the banter the two had engaged in.
“Ms. Crowe did indeed pull the gun on Mr. Lee because of the way he’d talked to her,” Faulk said. “She said, ‘he was talking mean to me, and I got mad. I guess I just let my temper get the best of me and I pulled my pistol on him’.”
Lee says he told Crowe “to sit her toothless self back down,” and that she then approached the ring.
Lee added that he’s not thrilled with Crowe being released so soon.
“The sheriff’s office called me to let me know they let her out Monday on a $4,000 bond,” Lee said. “I think it should have been a higher bond than that. She pulled a gun on me in front of kids and everything….it was just crazy.”
Approximately 160 people were in attendance during the incident, which has prompted Lee and the AWF to revaluate their security measures at the arena.
“We’re going to be installing metal detectors at the entrances,” Lee said. “We’ve already got ‘em picked up and will have them installed before the next show. The way the world is today, things happen at movie theatres and malls….you have to take extreme measures to protect fans. We’ll have the metal detectors right at the doors when you come in.”"
Surely this guy should win Heel of the Year by default at this year's Carnys?
