if someone brought karl marx back to life the first thing I would do is have a shopping montage to get him modern outfits where I shake my head yes or no to the outfits he picks out but then after that we'd get down to serious business

You're Not Doin' Fine, Oklahoma!
In case you haven't heard last December AEW filmed one of their shows in Oklahoma. On this show AEW star Nyla Rose had a squash match honestly the same type of squash match she's had dozens of times now. And before I go any further into what happened as a result I just want to point out that Nyla Rose has an online merch store with plenty of awesome designs. I personally love the cereal box design myself! https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=+Nyla+rose
It turns out that the Oklahoma Athletic Commission has a snitch line in case YOU catch a transgender individual living their life within the confines of the state. What did this result in? Well it resulted in AEW being issued a warning at the January board meeting that if they let it happen again there would be 'punitive damages'. Here's a quick little video snippet from a wrestling news site in the UK talking about it. (Spoilers they do reveal that professional wrestling isn't actually real.) https://youtu.be/kPsyIQpRXyI?si=t1F-MWa0ziai3W-m&t=448 Also for all you TERFs, and transphobes going on about how it's enough of a sport. You need to research all the times where it's legally been deemed a performance and not a competition. I'll start you off with the easiest most well known one; New Jersey State Senate 1989. That was the case that proved globally that wrestling was rigged, fake, etc. I know that many of you are allergic to facts but if there are some that do want to know you can start your search. Anyhow, though I shouldn't be I am surprised that a governmental agency believes professional wrestling is.
I said this on the other site, but it is well worth saying here.
The fact they picked a native women to single out and do this to as well is not on lost on me. You can not talk about reactionary conservative bullshit in Oklahoma without it coming back to it's Indigenous racism. Make no mistake, this is about the transphobia, but the politics at heart of the state color it's actions. Nyla Rose, (outside of being one of the commanding heels I've ever seen), is native, is black, and is trans. You could not find a more favorite punching bag for the state.
#ok well. it’s not that they don’t know what pro wrestling is it’s that they’re throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks bc they#want to legislate us out of existence 👍#also the state senate hearings on pro wrestling are fascinating in themselves bc their primary utility was for vince mcmahon to convince#these states that wrestling isn’t a Real Sport and therefore doesn’t require the same medical regulations as Real Sports#and the senators and the media got so caught up in the Scandal of it being fake. which. the lid was half off of kayfabe for awhile by then#and the hearings focused on that to the exclusion of shit that actually matters to determining medical regulation#you still have athletes doing incredibly risky shit even if it’s more like a cooperative acrobatic show than a fight. u still need medical.#but the state hearings just let this shit get deregulated so vince could save a buck#anyway! for the purposes of this conceit - ‘competition’ with ‘unfair advantages’ - pro wrestling is a shit target#if nyla had some kind of Trans Advantage it would probably be BETTER for her opponents#but the rulings on pro wrestling’s status as a sport aren’t necessarily a good thing#anyway this whole thing makes me want to kill something 👍#guy who runs aew is a literal billionaire btw if I was him i’d swat this shit so hard they would never try it again.m#don’t have high hopes though bc he’s also a chickenshit misogynist who doesn’t seem to care about his employees#I just feel awful for nyla bc the company doesn’t treat her great as it is

spiders have got to figure out contracting I need to be able to call my local spiders union and be like "hey can you send a guy out for a few days the fruit flies are back" and then pay it in spider currency. I'll learn the conversion rates. I'll be generous with my rounding. please.

[Image description: three art pieces by Choctaw/Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson. All three pieces are wall hangings, made of bead weaving, with long fringe. The first two also incorporate metal jingles. All have very vibrant and clashing colors. They have text woven into the beads, in all capital letters. The colors and patterns mean that reading the text may cause eye strain.
The first piece says “American history is longer, larger, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it. JB”.
The second piece says “I am Alive, You are Alive, They are Alive, We are Living! I am Alive, You are Alive, They are Alive, We are Living!”
The third piece says “Eye of the storm; like a hurricane.” End ID. /]

Kevin Nash, Christian Cage and Samoa Joe

I heard when Punk was still the booker of Collision and you pissed him off he'd tell Tony that he wanted you to wrestle on Saturday and then when you turned up he'd make you get squashed by Samoa Joe in like two minutes. Yeah, Samoa Joe, specifically. I don't know why. I think it was some kind of weird sex thing for them.
