I don't doubt that some intergender matches can be really good, but I do think that they have a fair amount of baggage to overcome and that I wouldn't trust a promotion like WWE to handle them consistently well. I mean, WWE is run by a man who once booked himself to batter his real life daughter on PPV.

I always thought Virgil was an apt comparison for Alex Riley because both of them were Actually Really Bad but their evil tor-mentors were Actually Really Good so it almost balanced out. Almost.

I would maybe, but I'm sad he didn't go all the way with it and give Dave Penzer the title since he was the first person to pick it up (the belt fell from the box before Booker could grab it, lol).

I imagine a good chunk of those stories are complete bollocks, or at least have notable erroneous details as MRT said (wasn't Vince's airborne fight with Angle BEFORE the Plane Ride From Hell? Because people were referencing it when Perfect and Brock's brawl blew up on that flight, I thought? idk)...

I don't speak fluent Twitter but am I right to interpret that as:

"Thanks for apologizing for being a Nazi. No one is perfect, not even Vince McMahon."

Because uh...

And what's with all the randomly capitalized words? Are "Sincerely Apologized" and "Better Human Being" just trademarked pr tag lines or something?

I think he meant to say "No one is perfect, including me." forgetting or not being able to include the me, making it look particularly funny when Vince randomly showed up at the end.

I think the random capitals are just the effects of autocorrect and not being bothered to correct it yourself, but you're right about the first bit.

I used to be a little bit taken aback by SA's attitude towards cops, but now I'm like where do you even find these guys? I mean, we obviously have racist, abusive cops in the UK too but the comparatively few rear end in a top hat cops I've met tend to at least be equal opportunity assholes when it comes to things like race.

have you seen the stats for stop and search in the UK and how many BAME vs. white people are stopped?

https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/crime-justice-and-the-law/policing/stop-and-search/latest#by-ethnicity

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's still horrific and the police force continue to cultivate themselves through their own toxic subcultures much of the time here. I imagine it's felt much more intensely if you live in a big city, especially London, and I completely accept that I have a huge amount of white privilege when discussing the subject. I was sort of joking with the equal opportunity thing but still, it's just that in my personal experience - knowing people from all sorts of backgrounds - the officers who are just being assholes for the sake of being assholes will go after anyone, if they feel like they're dressed shabbily, have a "rude gait" about them, or even if they just look too tired at the wrong time as I saw in one memorable instance.

I will also fully accept that our media might be even more reactionary and racist than our American counterparts, so it's very possible that we just don't hear about even the most high profile cases of abuse quite so often.

I guess I just see more instances of police officers saying, "yup we hosed up sorry lads!!" (like the Jean Charles de Menezes case, who wasn't black but he looked "foreign" enough if it to count I guess) than I do with every American atrocity, and I've had a cursory glance at stats that suggest that it's at least much better now than it was in the '70s/'80s, though obviously that's an extremely vague and debatable thing to say.

Idk, I just thought it was quite the norm to consider the police as, like, fellow members of the proletariat working under a lovely system in critical circles until recently.

Wrestlers on Twitter: can someone link me that bit where someone dubbed "Why Me" Sid Vicious over the time Braun Strowman destroyed Kevin Owens' car, thx.

You can definitely fly directly to Tokyo from Heathrow, because I've done it, but flying to the Far East from the UK is weird as it's usually considerably cheaper to get a connection in Paris/Amsterdam/Frankfurt/Munich/Brussels/Zurich/Helsinki/Istanbul/Dubai/somewhere else entirely, so I don't blame them for taking that option. It's not usually too bad. The main issue with changing in Paris is that CDG is massive and can be a real misery to navigate. My heart is with him.

I think Meltzer and Rovert are both bad writers and that the politics of "scoopz" largely stink, even though I acknowledge that they themselves are probably well-meaning most of the time. As only a casual fan of wrestling I usually have no idea what they're talking about anyway, just that I "have" to read page after page of people translating and mistranslating what they apparently said.

Remember when the Hulkster said that he was mistranslated from English that was a good laugh.

For context, he's in a horrible "British pub" chain called The Hub that sell Fish & Chips, Margerita pizza and a yard long beer called the "Big Ben". It's the same as tweeting from an Olive Garden that you're "ready for Italy".

I was once attacked by Jimmy Havoc in a Hub.

Every attempt at a "British pub" that I've ever been in abroad has been 100% terrible, not to mention grossly inaccurate. "Irish pubs" are slightly better in that they usually get the drinks right at least, but they're so full of annoying Brits that you remember why you left the UK in the first place.
