WE'RE IN THE ENDGAME NOW: Episode 100... the big one. This seems like it could be the be-all end-all of episodes. Right now it's looking like a season finale as it's currently being penned as the final edition of PW News, at least on a daily level. I discuss the plans for the future instead of singing for once. Could it overlap with the birth of Pi Jr.? We shall see. So 🤯 can you tell Wife to time it right? Mid August? We shall make the final decision once we hit the late 90s, but that's the plan going right now.

BUBBLES SELLING LIKE A CHAMP: No Favorite update, but System did let us know that he is not to be trusted. He turned on Bubbles for no good reason. How you gonna betray someone who is wearing blue? You just don't do that. Hmmm... Bluetista, no wonder he didn't like KING KID drafting Big Dave. Fan Fic cards are due on Saturday, so get on it and get ready for voting time. Please support your Wild Card Entrants. It is their time.

DRY CEREAL IS THE NEW ASS PLANTER: We saw not one, but two snacking variety cereals. What does that mean? It's a cereal that doesn't really work as an in bowl milk breakfast meal, but way better as a snack straight out the bag. What's better than Honeycomb or Corn Pops in that way? Not those weird ass Australian cereals that's for sure. We saw 6 entries this time because there was some ties. Don't worry, no more going forward. But my OCD will not allow me to mess up the reveal so eventually we're gonna have to reveal 4 at once to make it even again. Some heavy faves coming tomorrow since it'll include two #1 picks.

SIGNIFICANT STREAM: Skipping over the Countdown updates as they don't seem to be bringing in much interest from me, but I cover them in the audio. Emperor and his amazing table making skills can be viewed in the Significant Video Game thread down in Vidya. So far he's only revealed Pong, but it certainly freshens up the countdown genre. We need more innovation around here. pduh and 🤯 joined System in streaming some games. They seem to be having fun, but kept kicking me outta the chat when I joined. I guess it's invite only.

Thank you for your continued support our 5 loyal listeners!

Holy shit, 46 days to the due date. There IS a chance arrival could coincide with the Episode 100 End Game!!!

Nothing about Canada Day? What kind of sham newscast is this?

I am cracking up over the Bubbles comment 😂😂😂

He has a resemblance to Mike Smith the actor that plays Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys.





Nutri-Grain also comes in a bar.

I literally tagged you in the streaming thread @ness.
FAKE NEWS.

@ness, check out this defiance; I'm listening while NOT pooping ON Wife's birthday.

I'm definitely thinking I'll be on the Lony schedule. Save those posts to call me out. Good idea on a C++ bot to autolike in my absence. Like an Ultron that isn't villain flawed!

No one will ever be able to fill your shows. 100 feels like a nice tidy wrap-up number. My OCD gets that. Or... Maybe 100 can be your milestone to switch to once a week or once a month so that you have more of a break and they feel more special? For sure posts/threads to cover that way too.

The INSIDE SCOOP, @ness. Christ, how long have you been in the journalism industry by this point!? You know YOU KNOW the jargon.

=====

I don't know how to feel about the order of the Top 3. I don't think Daniel Bryan was on my list, so I think I'm upset already.

Whatever happened to @sheltonmysterio!? I was just thinking about him the other day. Cody being his favorite over Shelton Benjamin or Rey Mysterio always blew my mind. Also, wasn't Kane Big Pete's favorite forever? Or am I Mandela Effecting.

@ness, you not having a boy probably just means you're a balanced fan. Probably the best kind to be.

=====

Bubbles real life lack of prep makes System's heel turn on him actually a shoot face turn. Meta!

Here's a better question than "who's whose boy?" — we need to find the pure babyface fans on PW. I feel like everyone comprising the IWC is ultimately more of a heel fan at heart.

=====

Re-shorten the deadline, RT. I got a card in on time after all. @ness won't be able to handle all the dicks.

1RealSmartAlex gets a hall pass for FFCW updates. No reason to let a dip in quality just to get content out. Let him get this fan fiction draft thing out of the way real quick.

=====

Yaaayyy... Cereal countdown.

Australians eating dog treats wouldn't surprise me.

I blame the Life & Fruity Pebbles controversy on @ness not making a list for his own countdown.

Life is heroin in cereal form. And Fruity Pebbles is crystal meth. Cocaine is for pussies who are cuckoo for cocoa.

=====

Still don't know what to make of Corona after all this time.

=====

I'm loving the blank helmet touch. Especially that they're mostly color-themed after the posters' favorite teams.

=====

Technically rad said "verbal", which confused the shit out of me. Also, feel like the bad movie review topic is ripe for rad and System to co-launch a weekly podcast.

=====

Lony has been posting?

=====

Never seen Bulletproof, but I know it's to UT what Spanglish is to me.

=====

Dr. Emperor is slow with the reveals. That we can gripe about. But to his credit, he said he'd be torturing us purposefully by being slow to update the table.

System definitely posted the link. Which I missed. So I wasn't at the party until the morning after, helping to clean up everyone else's puke.

=====

I for one will be here to stuck it 49 more times.

SUCK IT, PW!

Also, wasn't Kane Big Pete's favorite forever?

:lol: No, but I'll own it .

Especially to spite SM .

I don't know if I ever had a guy.

It's tough to pin Baker down to one guy but there's Ta-Gar, Lana Star, Ludvig Borga, JBL, Jeff Jerrett, Ric Flair.

Kilgore's avatar gives himself away. Either Hollywood Blondes, Sabu, Sid, Franchise etc. If he had to pick a modern guy, maybe Alex Shelley.

@shinobi is RVD, but also tend to think of Taz, Terry Funk

Shootist has a couple, but his appreciation of the Stinger stands out.

Strobe is tough. I always tend to think of strikers when it comes to Strobe, but then his Inoki post is one of the best pieces I've read on Pro Wrestling so he's my default. Also tend to remember all the violent Joshi matches, Duggan-Sawyer and so on.

Emperor's spirit wrestler is KENTA.

RT tend to think of incredibly athletic wrestlers like Finn Balor, Kenny Omega, Rob Van Dam etc.

UT Tend to think of the Big Bossman for whatever reason standing out. I know Finn Balor, Braun Strowman are current faves and DDP was a fave in WCW. I don't tend to think of UT and wrestling, more UT, movies and being a bigger heart-breaker than pduh.

🤯 I'm pretty sure he's a John Heidenreich fan.

Big Bossman? Braun is a current fave.

Punk , Stone Cold , Bret and Rock are my all time favorites. Umaga too!

Not sure I know the heartbreaker reference but I’ll take it.

Looks like somebody needs to experience a slice of pi.

I can't believe a tacky BBCode table has generated more excitement than the grand prize. A lot more. The world has gone mad.

I'll take it though.

I am not updating the table after every game reveal. I'll probably update the table every 5 games, until the top 10 or top 5, when I will update the table after every game.

But I might have to change my gameplan since the table is generating so much excitement...

BBC table. TEE HEE.

Listened while driving again. 

🤯 Jr. arriving the same day as episode 100 would be perfect.

@ness scaling back on the singing is tragic. But I understand the logic behind the move. Now it becomes a special treat. Something to look forward to. A draw if you will. 

lol @ Ness' mental image of Bubbles. Mine is no better. I envisioned a Patti Pizzazz type the first time I saw the name.

Ness is the true Iron Man of PW. 51 straight days of PW News. I post a lot. More than most. And I've missed a few days in that stretch.

Love Big Pete going down the list of PW poster "guys."

I'd add both Quebecers, Larry Legend, and Teddy Hart to my big list. I certainly do get around.

Big Pete I always associate with Goldberg and Rey Mysterio.

Add Bret to Kilgore and Shamrock to Shin.

Agree with Sting for Shootist .

RT and Jericho will always be linked for me.

Adam Cole for Rogue .

Umaga is the first wrestler I think of when I think UT .

pduh and Steamboat are linked.

Ditto for Emperor and KENTA.

Strobe is tough. I tend to link him with All Japan more than anything else. So we'll go with Misawa.

Triple H for Todd

Trish for @admin

Obviously Brock and Nicolas Cage for PI.

Keeping it outside of wrestling, Christian McCaffrey for KING KID.

I like this game!

I was definitely into Big Johnny's poetry, especially his poem for Michael a Cole.

Baker I would only be so lucky to be as gorgeous as Christian McCaffrey.

As a kid, it was Hogan and Warrior, though a few years delayed from real time through video tapes. I would still see occasional TV shows through the mid-90s and Bret was my favourite. Rock was my boy in the Attitude era and I did not really have another one until Samoa Joe helped show me a world beyond WWE. Bret's DVD brought him right back into focus around this time. Then, with the power of the video streaming, I got big into Japanese stuff, especially All Japan and Misawa has been my perennial favourite.
