MoS

I don't know what to say here. Call me a mark, call me a gullible joker, call me a naive fan, call me whatever. What I do know is today's show broke me down and made me cry on multiple occasions. There have been a lot of wrestling deaths, but the last time I experienced anything close to this was when Eddy died. Nearly every segment made me emotional, and a lot of them made me weep openly. I don't even know why. I couldn't tell you. All I know is, they did have that effect on me. The final video package just killed me, man. I have no logical explanation for it. It just killed me. Rest in power, Brodie, you absolute stud.

The opening segment already has got me crying. Man, is there any wrestler that is the opposite of Brodie more than the YB. None of this matters tonight but still

Steph tweeted commiserations while acknowledging his indie (and AEW) name. I think Brodie was one of the few wrestlers who was so beloved, petty things like inter-promotional rivalry get completely transcended and overwhelmed in the wake of such tragedy. I don't remember such outpouring of love, sadness and solidarity for a wrestler literally ever. Eddy and Owen could have had this but of course A) social media wasn't around then to amplify such voices; and circumstances surrounding their deaths were far more controversial than they are here

He used to be a school teacher, but he is retired now. Dylan had a really good line about it on Twitter and it got a genuine LOL out of me -

It's Wednesday. You know what that means

Some hilarious Twitter content for you good people

If he had just said "Sorry, I fucked up", he would still have a job and would not be the most hated guy on wrestling Twitter. Brodie's son being called -1 is adorable. He seems like wrestling is his entire life. I watched a Brodie-Kingston match from Chikara today. Man, Brodie was so so great for so so long, it's crazy.

Both Marty and Jerome are fantastic here. Excellent stuff, boys

I honestly don't know what the fuck Mitchell wants. Brodie's wife in the wake of the immediate tragedy gave a short summary of what happened. Now that there are some hours to process this awful tragedy, she has shared additional details. What the fuck does Mitchell want? A signed, sealed and certified death certificate that clearly states that COVID wasn't responsible for his death? That's pathetic and embarrassing. He should be extremely ashamed of himself right now. But I bet both his sorry ass and Snowden's pathetic ass will double down even more on their previous comments.

This Alexa Bliss shit is putrid. I had turned on Raw cuz India beat Australia in test cricket in Australia, something that's exceedingly rare, so I was in a good mood. That didn't last. It's like an e-grade horror script adapted by middle-school theatre writers featuring a bunch of untrained actors. It's just awful

I legit cannot imagine sitting through 3 hours of putrid crap that is Raw. Massive respect to people who manage to do that

More details have come - he was supposed to take a couple of weeks off after the dog collar match. He felt sick during then, esp after, as was mentioned earlier in the thread, he couldn't finish a workout on his bike. They kept it quiet, but Tony Khan and the EVPs knew. It's almost as if more details would have gradually come out and satisfying the curiosity of dumbass pro wrestling reporters was not his wife's priority when she made her post. Of course Bruce Mitchell has decided to double down on it instead of recognising he fucker up badly and apologising. And of course Jonathan Snowden has had a complete meltdown, including calls to fight people and pretending to be a tough guy. Pathetic behaviour and it's a shame that the passing of someone who was genuinely loved by everyone has given a bunch of ugly little shits to showcase their shittiness.

Even Heyman, whom Steph hated by all accounts, kind of sorts of puts her over in shoot interviews. Ofc Paul E is the ultimate carny and could have been looking after his future bottom line, but A) he did shit on Vince quite enough when he was on the outs with WWE; and B ) shitting on Steph never stopped Road Dogg from getting a job again in WWE

As terrible as the booking of her character has been in the last 10 years, Steph genuinely seems to be the nicest, kindest McMahon, but that's neither here nor there

Done. Thanks. None of what he wrote makes sense from a timeline perspective. It's just the worst time to write shit like this. Between him and the indy dude who decided to respond to days' old tweet about him getting stiffed TODAY, tagging Cornette and Last in his tweet for some reason, it's really sad how the tragic passing of one of wrestling's nicest personalities have brought forth some of wrestling's shittiest.

I didn't want to link to it and give it more clicks, that piece of trash doesn't deserve it

Bruce Mitchell used this tragedy to write some awful, wile stuff insinuating how AEW and his wife are colluding to cover up.... something something covid. What an absolute shithead

Agreed. No disrespect intended, but let people grieve in whatever way they want.

Apparently he had a lung issue? Legit had no idea he had any lung issues. I thought someone said a couple weeks back that he had a knee injury and I thought yeah that sucked, but he would be back and better. He was on TV just a month back and looked so good. I am in complete shock. This is terrible. I hate this so much.

Literally completely shaken and speechless. This is awful. Rest in peace.

Is his problem really that he doesn't sell properly. How is a literal unkillable monster supposed to sell.

If I had the book, I would continue putting over Roman and Big E really strong and then have a champ v. Champ match at WM where Big E becomes champ champ

jdw did pop in very briefly a couple of weeks ago. It was nice to see an old face. Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! It's my first Christmas ever in the US, and what timing haha. No one is social distancing here in NYC really, but I have to say, New York with Christmas decorations looks so pretty

I mean, isn't being a problem drinker an on-point trait for an ageing rock star gimmick. He's truly living the gimmick lol

NBA Twitter sounds just as shitty as Wrestling Twitter, and I am sure a bunch of dorks tweeting about Jericho is not representative of the larger NBA fanbase
