One of the FTR dudes is an excellent promo from what I have seen, so he could def play the Arn Anderson enforcer role in this modern 4 Horsemen.

Wrestling parallels w/ wider cultural trends
My response to that is that while I definitely see that argument, I would say that the biggest movies are still the ones which have larger-than-life superheroes. Now, what a superhero can do on screen is wider now than it used to be, although not by much: they can be dorkier, crack nerd jokes, don't need to be big and ripped, etc. But ultimately, Captain America, Iron Man, even Star-Lord, are cool badasses who are pushed as such. Wrestlers are no longer pushed as cool by default; like being a wrestler at the high level by itself makes you cool. That certainly has played a role in wrestling's decline.

#SpeakingOut: Industry-wide sexual misconduct (assault/harrassment/grooming/etc) accusations and their repercussions
If Osperey and Bea got someone blackballed for speaking out, then that is a really shitty move on them. Shit like that is exactly why women prefer Twitter to filing official complaints.

#SpeakingOut: Industry-wide sexual misconduct (assault/harrassment/grooming/etc) accusations and their repercussions
Specific allegations aside, the sheer volume of stories coming out and being corroborated shows that sexual harassment clearly remains a systemic issue in pro wrestling. I am glad people are coming out. This was long overdue.

The Cancellation of Jim Cornette
The allegation is that he and Stacey used to force wrestlers wanting a tryout to do sexual acts with Stacey while Cornette watched. I am with everyone in that i don't care what your kink is, but full consent from all parties is obviously a prerequisite.

WWE TV 06/15 - 06/23 Liv Morgan.
Are the big Indian dudes worth getting excited for. It's nice to not have my country represented by Jinder Mahal anymore, but I had never heard of these guys before they showed on NXT. Although I try not to get excited about anyone in WWE cuz it never ends well.

Really liked the show overall. Fyter Fest should be great. Jericho-Cassidy is so much better than Jericho-Tyson.

Sammy loses wayyy too much. On the other hand, Orange Cassidy is awesome.

Matt Hardy playing his gimmick so seriously is honestly winning me over

Yeah, I completely agree. Really liked that. Sammy Guevera has so much personality. Him and Darby Allin are the reasons I am most grateful AEW exists.

Cage is bad on the mic but he looks like a chiselled statue so he can get away with it

Really liked the match overall. I have loved Cody's title reign so far

This match has been good but I really hate contrived top rope spots.

They are definitely teasing something with Cody. A heel turn, a feud with Elite? I dunno.

I still don't know about making the referee the focal point of so many spots, as they do for Aubrey, but she is great in her role. They should let MJF do more promos. He is fire on the mic.

Yeah Mr Brodie Lee has def jumped the shark. Funny thing is if they turn him just by destroying the other Dark Order dorks, he will automatically become really over, cuz he is so good

As a complete horror geek, I will henceforth stan Abaddon forever as long as she does not become as fucking trash as Bray Wyatt ultimately did. Actually a very clever little twist imo, pushing Anna Jay as the supposed feature star of this segment, only to make it about Abaddon. She certainly has a presence.

Put Dr. Baker on commentary instead of just reading her reactions!
