I don’t get how WrestleCade is a successful annual event. It seems like having a big convention during the biggest travel weekend of the year would be a logistical and financial nightmare but I guess since it is in Carolina, it is probably centrally located enough to where most wrestlers (and wrestling nerds) live that a lot of guys can drive in?

Carolina is a market that has never stopped being into the rasslin and yes, Carolina is easy for talent to get to especially the older generation who generally reside in the south.

Also helps that as far as I can tell, they don’t fuck the boys over and actually pay them.

She should go to Japan, honestly. Ronda becoming a kind of female MiSu is the best ending.

Luigi Primo is apparently good friends with one of my best friends and added me on Facebook. Huh. Maybe we can be bros.

Crowbar has done more dogshit indie shows than any “name” wrestler besides maybe Tommy Rich and Ricky & Robert so it must take a lot to offend his senses.

He's either 100% kayfabe or posting shit like this with comments off.

Also does the thing that honestly I've only seen wrestlers do where they like their own posts.

Adrian Street literally did it for every post. It was really funny because it was him just posting pictures or him and Linda at restaurants (though I think it was the same picture over and over, really). But at least he was super nice as well as extremely annoying.

I wish I was friends with more wrestlers on FB. Closest I ever got was being followed by Cliff Compton on Twitter.

Twitter I have random followers in general. Pam Grier follows me because I made her laugh once, same for Elayne Boosler and the guy who created Sledge Hammer. Random people. Wrestlers, Piper was. Joey Ryan was (we had a mutual friend before he got outed). I think Leva Bates at one point. I dunno. Piper was the cool one.

Facebook I keep to myself but if it's an Adrian Street type who I always loved, it's just different. Luigi added me since he's friends with people I really care about but now I gotta question everything. He's annoying but there's gonna be some good downfall one day.

Real talk:
Deadlock Pro going from goofy vanity promotion spearheaded by nLI streamers to a seriously fucking awesome indy is incredible. Lucky Ali (Lavar Barbie in NXT) and Kidd Bandit have to be seen as their two biggest success stories already.
