laughing a little at the person who said "pro wrestling but only for men" ive seen women drinking beer out of each others breasts and doing face sitting pins. i make all my friends watch wrestling with me so i can hear them all go "i hauve covid" for an hour. u dont even know about the shit they do in womens pro wrestling
i've come to a conclusion. i think the reason the young bucks get so much hate despite being objectively good individuals and creating jobs for hundreds of employees and being best friends with dozens of beloved wrestlers across multiple promotions is this. they've never truly been underdogs (an identity that can get literally anyone over with an audience), because they have never been, at any point in their televised career, alone. they've always been a part of the deadliest factions wherever they are - elite or bullet club - and they have ALWAYS had backup, but most importantly nick and matt have always had each other. that's a unique privilege and security that few can relate to and it seems to make the most lonely among us angry and hateful for this reason
RARE (and possibly coked up) Sting Sighting Behind the Scenes of WCW's 1988 Great American Bash
Just a few seconds prior, they (Road Warriors, Lex Luger, others - high out of their minds) were messing with him and getting him to make funny faces in the mirror. He still managed to regain focus and continue with his face paint.
We also get to hear the Stinger say "fuck". I've rarely seen him curse outside of this moment.
its so fucking jarring to see everyone on reddit and twitter suddenly pivot to wwe ball licking now that punk is there. i dont even like aew but man what happened to being happy about the alternative. what happened to challenging the feds monopoly overthe american wrestling industry. fuck me for expecting integrity i guess but man cmon
seeing a pro wrestling gifset + explainer reblog and having to try so so so so so hard not to go into the long and complex history of labor in professional wrestling
