Costco sells frozen Impossible patties in bulk. They fry up pretty nice.

AEW is hiring for a new social media content manager. Just a heads up.

I was really pulling for TayJay since they were tagging up before anyone was thinking about a tag division, but knowing about Anna’s contract status, I get why they didn’t go with them. And Harley and Willow kick ass together, have good chemistry, and both are just so much fun. I’m really happy with them as first champs.

Clearly, WrestleFest is not being held within 100 yards of a school.

You’re very optimistic. In modern America, he could be the next Surgeon General.

From what I understand, WWE has very little leverage with Netflix at this point. They’ve been severely underperforming since the move.

Netflix might do something to AEW if they’re contractually obligated to, but I don’t know if they’d be interested in otherwise going out of their way to make WWE happy.

See, this is what I’m talking about. You are taking their arguments on good faith when they have repeatedly shown anything but. Surgeries for kids have just been their wedge; they really want to ban it all for everyone. https://abcnews.go.com/US/states-move-restrict-transgender-adult-care-amid-gender/story?id=118733720

That’s not a given in this case, only because there was a competing offer from Paramount-Skydance and they have Trump’s ear. And they’re already making a stink about the process being unfair to them.

And honestly, of the two, WB going to Skydance would be much, much worse. Look what they’ve already done to Paramount. Not to say either of these deals are good for consumers, of course.

But the thing is, the transphobes never come right out and say they’re doing it because they hate trans people. It’s always that they have “reasonable concerns” about “safety” and “quality of life” and whatever else. It is absolutely worth pointing out that these “concerns” evaporate when we are talking about cis people, not because I think it will change their mind (it won’t, these people know they are hypocrites and don’t care), but for the sake of any onlookers who might take them at face value.

They are apparently going to maintain HBO Max as a separate service, but plan to add some HBO content to Netflix. So not really.

That’s not an ad hominem.

These are the same people who complain about those “Coexist” stickers with all the religious symbols, and the inclusion of a cross on those has done nothing to dissuade them. They don’t care; they honestly believe it is their right to oppress others, and anyone stopping them from doing so (or even suggesting they shouldn’t) is oppressing them.

According to the press release as quoted by Fightful, they are just acquiring Warner Bros, not Discovery. So the split plan will go forward, just with the WB half (including HBO Max) joining Netflix, while Discovery (including TBS/TNT) will not. So at the very least, AEW will still have a cable home (unless Paramount acquires Discovery or something).

IWTV is still a thing, but I don’t think it’s a collective.

It’s too bad that group that Freddie Prinze was involved with couldn’t make a go of it. I liked what they were doing.

“We accidentally taught them that genocide should never happen. What we should have taught them is that we’re awesome and above them!”

Ugh. Suddenly feel a lot worse about this deal.

This is a massive upgrade, just from a positioning perspective. AMC is a top 40 network in the US, and AXS doesn’t even make the top 125. Plus AMC has their own streaming service.

It’s a bit of an odd fit, since AMC isn’t really a sports/events network. They’re mostly about movies and prestige television (The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Interview With The Vampire). But it will result in TNA being in a lot more homes.

It’s officially official now. https://cultaholic.com/posts/tna-officially-announces-new-media-rights-deal-with-amc

FUCK THE WWE!

The fact that he thought he was free and clear, but that poison pill was lurking, tells me he needs an agent and a lawyer to handle his contracts going forward.

And if he already has them, he needs to fire them and get better ones.
