This is not a storyline, this is not an industry/workplace interaction. It is a woman having a baby. It is a personal, real life thing that affects Rebecca and Colby rather than Becky and Seth. If you know what I mean.

If the Prime Minister of my country can take time off to have a baby shortly after being elected into office, and has successfully juggled motherhood and being the de facto head of state of a nation during a terrorist incident where 51 people got murdered by a white supremacist puddle of gently caress, a volcanic eruption and a global pandemic, then I'm sure Becky Lynch can juggle motherhood and a pro-wrestling career.

the greatest summary of Jim Cornette there's ever been, rivaling Hemingway's shortest sad story in the word, was when a local Louisville news station was reporting on some kind of dispute between people in a neighborhood and some construction happening or whatever that was making everyone upset, and the roving reporter interviewed Jim because it was the neighborhood he lived in

That he calls Hikaru Shida a Japanese schoolgirl is baffling to me. Like, even if you are a huge racist, how do you look at Shida and think schoolgirl?

Infantilizing asian women is a major racist trope, doubly so when they're mouthbreathers with brains terminally poisoned with gross internet porn. See also people saying Riho looks like "a child" despite her being old enough to drink.

With Jim I think its somehow even worse than just being that.

He knows that Riho started younger in wrestling and that in the past she teamed with Omega (which she did like twice in Ice Ribbon and DDT in 2009-10). You hear him outright saying that he thinks that the two are somehow together and while I don't think ever outright saying it heavily implying that Kenny groomed her which is an incredibly disgusting thing to do. I think that from that he just assumes that because all Japanese people must be the same that is the reason why Hikaru Shida is there: to somehow satisfy Kenny rather than because of her ability. It manages to combine the outright racism you mention with disgusting allegations that aren't true.

What adds a little bit of weird irony about his weird assumption about Riho and Kenny is that its a bit of an open secret that Kenny Omega and Hikaru Shida were a thing in the past and might still be one for all we know: the two are very private people about that part of their lives and that is 100% their right but sometimes things get out. Not that that would change what Cornette says about him or her because he's incredibly racist but him knowing that would probably make it even worse.

if they watched anime they'd realize the idea of a tiny woman being the biggest ballbuster is real and can your best friend.

I know its too much to ask for these fuckin smoothbrains that just want poo poo summarized for them, but if they'd actually watch a loving AEW Riho match in AEW you'd see the utter imperious disdain in which she dispatched her opponents. It was great compelling poo poo.

I braved the clip and it's clearly a larger issue for him independent of wrestling. He told a story of bumping into a couple he was friends with (I think at a mall?), learning they were expecting, and reacting with "So what are are you gonna do about it?" as opposed to "Congratulations!" or even "Wow!"

BREADAGRAM OF PROTECTION
Could people please not use this list to announce information of no particular interest to the people on the list? Hundreds of thousands of babies are born every day. While the whole phenomenon is menacing, one of them by itself is not newsworthy. Nor is it a difficult achievement--even some fish can do it. (Now, if you were a seahorse, it would be more interesting, since it would be the male that gave birth.)

Following your example, I might send the list an announcement whenever a new GNU program is written. That happens less often than babies are born, it does the world a lot more good, it reflects more conscious creativity and hard work, and some of the readers might actually find the information useful. Even so, I think most of the readers would consider this outside the scope and purpose of the list. Clearly that goes double for babies.

Of course, we have another place for announcements of new GNU programs. If some people like to read birth announcements, perhaps you should set up a suitable list or newsgroup. Perhaps rec.births? (While you're at it, start rec.deaths for obituaries--they're usually more interesting to read.)

These birth announcements also spread the myth that having a baby is something to be proud of, which fuels natalist pressure, which leads to pollution, extinction of wildlife, poverty, and ultimately mass starvation.

Perhaps the people who have decided to have no children should start making proud announcements, so as to set a better example. I could start. I'm sure everyone on this list will be glad to know I don't plan to reproduce myself.

Watching Riho beat the poo poo out of Nyla Rose with forearms during their first title match is what made me an official fan of hers. I didn't really get it until then, but it's impossible not to root for someone that small hitting a bigger opponent that hard.

i'm sure jim cornette found subway, being friends with so many people in jared's circle. This is a reference to the multiple friends that he has who are pedophiles, and how he calls people pedophiles often, as he thinks about that a lot. the word that is. I don't know what else he thinks about and wouldn't put a libelous statement on the site, to protect something awful.

I think he means Jerry Lawler, Ken Wayne, and Grizzly Smith as the "pedophile friends" with Justin Roberts and (to a degree) Kenny Omega being the people Cornette called pedophiles. But I'm probably missing some.
