{Spoiler}All right, so it's time for another edition of pw news the weekly daily, sporadically the random episode of you know newsworthy stuff here on the pw comm proboards wrestling forum brought to you by yours truly the pw historian himself. newsman NASS. Although someone argue that others know the site a lot more than me, but uh, yeah,
we're back. No schedule just a random episode that I feel like feel like doing if you're not familiar with what pw news is all about. It is necessarily a side project where he yaks into the mic and talks about various pw things. In the past we've done I say we like this isn't a one man band. We've done little things where we go through the forum and talk about all the new posts, the major happenings, we've tried to do it on a weekly basis. Over time, it gets old.
And not a lot of people will listen or comments. So it almost comes off. like nobody gives a shit. But then much like fun with flags. There'll be a comment here or there will say Oh, that's too bad. I really liked it. That one that one comment is usually enough to get me back into it, but wasn't really getting that last time around. And it's going through the motions. So I quit for a little bit, do other things on pw and now I'm back for at least you know, one episode anyways, six, six, in a couple years might be 666. So that'll be interesting. But let's get into the happenings on pw might hear some clicks, because for one of the few rare times I won't actually have, you know, bullet point notes to talk about, I'm just gonna click on every forum and tell you what's going on. At least recently in in wrestling. So
the big news for pw or not pw it. WWE is a there's a lot of there's a lot of shakeups going on, if you even care, because, you know, wrestling is certainly the least important thing of anything right now. But the WWE has found its way into the news, there was a mass set of releases recently, not uncommon, especially lately, to contrast to what they were doing before where they were signing anyone with even remote name value. I'm pretty sure they had Fergus Ferguson on their list because he graduated from wrestling school once upon a time, basically, the theory was they wanted to get everyone so particularly at W could not. That's the theory anyways. And there could be weight to that, because now, under the guise of Khan, not a not that geek do even door hybrid of Tony Khan. But another one, probably descendant of gang is con, because we all are pretty much
is trimming the fat. And there's speculation of what that purpose is. And it could be a potential sale.
There is one user
by the name of ki Jericho. his buddy pi usually calls him Kj, but he is actually
I don't know if he's wise to the things. But for the past few years, he has said it might be possible. And most people just scoffed at the ideas, particularly from Disney seeing as why would they want
such a,
you know,
such a sewage dump that is wrestling on their platform, especially when all they ever seem to do is you know, turn out money. But isn't that what WWE has been doing the past few years, ratings in the toilet, attendance is down interest is at an all time low, yet they're making money hand over fist for some reason.
And I don't know what it is. But maybe it's just the fact that they have consistent content and established fan base dwindling, but still more than, you know other places. And there must be value in that. So there are rumours that they could be setting up for a sale. And the reason for these releases, particularly a bronze strohman of the world is that
they're trimming the fat and maybe they want a lean product. Could they be getting rid of SmackDown could just be
or perhaps raw is going to two hours. There's got to be something going on with all these releases, especially since a particular on the SmackDown side they're definitely lacking in certain certain certain ways, but it's definitely a making things interesting again, and you know, we've heard this since the the
Days of TNA anytime someone gets releases, what is x doing in the impact zone and there's all kinds of talk about AWS on this, they should go to New Japan. If they want to slim it up, they can go to TNA ROI. Ah, and I'm starting to wonder, is the money always gonna be there? Because I know
Tony Khan is a I don't know what he does, but I assume he's a money mark. And, you know, ew, can't take everyone, even if they're potentially getting a second show. But so that's the wwe news. The rest of the wrestling Oh, actually, there is a recent post and I'm going to timestamp this episode of b2b news to tell you exactly where we're at.
Just to let you know that Emperor is letting us know
the the board and via me through my voice that Okada Shingo is happening tomorrow. So that's the thing. You're Japan's kind of I guess it's taken that
interestingly enough, he has taken that role that rrH tried to submit itself for so long. And I don't know, there's just something odd about the game plan of Rh and TNA Impact Wrestling in that in with very little effort.
At w in New Japan kind of just took their spots as the number two B to A however you want to say it as far as wrestling is concerned. And I don't know, I don't know what the difference is if they're truly trying if there was just something different. But I guess that difference is just Chris Jericho, in a way.
History of wrestling. There's stuff probably vices dark side of the ring. Perhaps this does signal the end of professional wrestling. I've been saying it for a few years now that it's on a death.
That spiral that's circling the drain and all these various, you know, stories are interesting to watch. But just seeing how messed up the wrestling business is, I mean, what other platform is going to, you know, highlight the NIC gauges of the world. But truthfully, the only one I've seen is the two parter baignoire episode. It's one of those backlog things that I'm meaning to check out. But I always you know, just don't do it. So that's the active discussion in history of wrestling. fanfic, the big thing of course, and you may not even know this because it is something that has plagued pw for the past year since the pandemic and that is another draft. The last draft kind of left a sour taste in everyone's mouth. And this one nice little bit of Listerine, but don't swallow. And it is the I don't know if it's the annual but it's the fanfic draft. What is the fanfic draft, everyone grabs wrestlers draws cards, you vote for the winner. And yeah, and then they're the champion or something. I don't know if it was last year. But the most recent one I remember participating in I had like a gimmick, where I was only drafting eight people. And I don't know if I continue that or if that was a separate draft, because they all kind of blend together. But last one I remember doing was a Trump versus Tom McGee having some sort of a
competition between each other of you know, doing matches. And then I think it was highlighted, or really the only thing I remember was Walter versus Brock in space, because they can breathe in space. And yeah, that happened. But um, the draft is about to go underway. The voting, drafting has already been a thing. And it may be the first time in fanfic history where a single draft was not missed via the 24 hour rule. Now there was only I believe, 12 of us, you could not do the perfect 16 which is actually even better, because then you get three blocks of armbar drop kick and I don't remember what the other one was. I mean, I could easily look but I'm not going to. But yeah, there's going to be too many top three mini tournaments and then we all meet in the end with a triple threat. It's almost like a G one climax classic, something round robin tournament. But I think we're only waiting on the baker man to submit his card in I submitted mine recently and it is a this whole draft has been borderline frustrating for your boy.
I say that because what I've always tried to do with these drops and these little competitions is not do the standard fare of just picking a wrestler having a supercar try to make things interesting and fun. Which in the build up to this
Is No, you can't do that. So much so that I even wanted to make my
a story rather than, oh, here's a card. And yeah, there's a champion. That's kind of boring. So what I wanted to do was I make a trilogy of shows that have an overarching storyline, which have been blatantly lifted from one of my favourite franchises, which you will see when Artie actually posts them. Unfortunately, I've just been hitting a lot of roadblocks, because I couldn't make it fun. So I just drafted guys that are kind of like right now. And then I blatantly plagiarised a franchise, and kind of did a wrestling hybrid, where here's the show, this show will lead to the next show. And next show would lead to the next final show. Unfortunately, I wanted some characters not to appear on the first show, because the first show was centred around a tournament. And couldn't do that. Because you got to include everyone and I don't want to be disqualified. But yeah, we'll do that. Also, I didn't even originally sign up for the draft. I just asked a question. Like, Hey, can we do this weird gimmick off the wall type of thing, even if it was just me. They're like, no fucker. We're doing dead serious wrestling cards. I was like, Okay, and then it wasn't going to be in the draft because they didn't want to have fun with it. But I got put in anyway. So it's like, oh, I guess I'm in it now. And since we can only get 12 out of 16. You're welcome. So yeah, that's the the news for fanfic. There's a few other updates.
Am is doing some non FF CW thing. I didn't think that was even allowed. And RT actually has several pages of some sort of, you know, wrestling, combined company type of thing. So that's kind of cool. And it'll be interesting to see. If the fact that they're actively writing fanfic, if that will have any negative positive or really any effect on their card.
You know,
because,
up until when ra ends whenever that is, if you still follow wrestling, that's when the cards are due. I'm pretty sure only Baker
is due because for the most part everyone else has chimed in that they submitted theirs. I don't remember seeing a show post. And hopefully wise man hasn't fucked up to Wales. But yeah, they're, they're going to be in it.
I'm looking at the thread now. suplex armbar, drop kick, I'm representing armbar.
And I'm going one on one with UT.
Maybe it'll be interesting. Like last time I defeated Lionheart in the first round, maybe I'll pull that again, beating a non fanfic person and then we'll see. But after that, I gotta face off the show and body slam and
just going to be weird in the armbar division, I'm going to have the body slam Body Slam but we'll get to it. I've never gone far in these in these things. Not going to say I'm going to win or anything but it wouldn't be nice because I am in the the way the draft will play out will be the perfect trilogy. And it would be nice to actually win something on pw for change. Even if it's in one of those it doesn't count because it's a pandemic
it's a less division type of thing but I'll take it off topic I think we can pretty much assume we can give this title to see this is basically his stomping grounds. I mean, let's let's look over the threads politics that's all him COVID kind of volume stock market that's the kid but see seems to chime in a lot. Even though I don't know if he has any any shekels to, you know, put in to the market. Maybe he can use his dodge coins, but I don't know. I don't know how much money he's got on SSI to be able to do it but that's the thing and
yeah, there's a lot of stuff going down. Let's talk podcast is still a thing. I'm surprised he hasn't retired that yet or he hasn't gotten tired of it like I have maybe it helps when you're not talking to just yourself. But yeah, he's had a few pw workers and on recently I don't know if I stopped checking the thread because he just had all these non pw jobbers on there, and just between you and me. I don't care how good the conversation was. I'm just not going to listen to Peter talk to Jimmy fuckface I'm just not but if there is a pw
Particularly a 1.1 or and they're not talking sports. I'll give it a token. Listen. That is my promise to you.
And sports. You know, the NBA Playoffs has a thread. It just wants you to know that pop culture. The more things change, the more things they stay the same. And we're still doing countdowns. Truthfully, to be honest with you, I really thought he was going to, you know, go out on a high note, not to say it's not still up there. But I think I thought after that last milestone, whatever it was,
that was going to be it, but then it was that the movie yearly thing, and that was kind of thing for a little bit. Right now. It's the top 75 musical acts of all time. The most recent one was Linkin Park.
Yeah, there is a lot to go through. And it's definitely been a, you know, a white boy, sort of countdown with the exception of a handful of token, you know, non rock things and a few questionable ones that I think are made up and just put out there just for the lols. But yeah, if you're interested in seeing what pw thinks of music that's up there. You haven't hit the big the true big names yet. But there's, there's been quite a few, you know,
dudes up there that you would expect to be on the list. So you can talk about that. I don't know. If the the movie draft
annual thing is still ongoing. It hasn't been updated in about a month. And it's still sticky, but that could just be laziness because the animator is still sticking it in. Well, considering the past couple of pages of gifts in there sticky definitely describes definitely what that is. So
that's what's happening and
you know, if you glance at the pop culture thread, not the thread, but the forum, you could almost think it was a comic book slash music forum because that's pretty much everything that's being discussed. What are you listening to musical acts the countdown and then Foos trying to get the what's your, what's your getting nurdin thing going? Unfortunately, since the last time we've discussed, the comic book club has kind of flopped.
The last time around, they were going to discuss saga. I was too busy continuing with cross to really
read it's and join in the conversation and I think rogue may have forked off to Wales along with Wiseman, say and WP so that one kind of went under the radar. I'm not saying my participation is what killed it. But the fact that I wasn't reading it, and it died and just you know, is it a coincidence? I don't know. I blame pie. So it's his fault.
And last but not least, although it usually is.
And that is a video games, although there was a thread I just saw just now. So someone has dementia or a dilemma. I don't know how to read that another day. But you know, I want to wrap this up.
And the video games the video games without tech is definitely the redheaded stepchild of pw it's the last one down it's probably the least active I say that but sometimes it feels like it does get more posts than some other forums like women of wrestling and and just because I overlooked at sports, but doesn't really have that engagement that it's just a few posts here and there. So there's not a lot of conversation to be had. And I think a lot of that is I'm gaming less and less as the years go by. I have a ps4 avva switch
be
issue with PS five didn't does not affect me because
yeah, I'm not playing his games as often. But if you are still interested in gaming blindly and King of the losers Ragnarok Mike. a side note about that. Some people call him rags until I realised that he changed his name to Ragnarok Mike, I honestly thought rags was like a nickname that he had, like his real name. It did not realise it was just a screen name. So that was weird. But yeah, those two guys are the main culprits. See every once in a while but blind he is doing his thing or he's playing like a 50 hour JRPG in a weekend every weekend. So he's doing his. So if you want to know what games are good to blind, he he may be a sports guy, but uh, he must play more sports games than just man and because he plays a little bit of everything. You want to chime in about Sonic and if he's overrated, and if any game besides Sonic two was good, you can do that in my thread.
If you want to talk about retro games, with a
He who should not be mentioned because he deleted his thing
yeah that's that's something else. And yeah that'll do it for pw is probably a shitty episode but
I just felt like doing it and maybe it gives you a reason to listen to this sexy voice find out what you've been missing maybe convinced me to keep doing this more if you liked it if you didn't just pull the pie and they'll sell it and I will never do it again. But this has been pw News. Thanks for listening. And you know what?
If someone can get El Diablo weasel, Ed w two
not do it all the returning users do and actually stick around that would be great. I don't know what it is. Maybe Maybe it reflects the wrestling business itself. We have our one point wonders, the diehards that will never go away. Every once in a while someone tune in saying oh this this is still a thing and then they disappear. I don't know if it's just the culture of online content has changed before just not cool anymore, but would be nice if they stuck around for a little while on. I really wish guys wouldn't say they're gonna stick around and then they disappear. It's like
It's like your single mom data dude, and you really bond with them. And then after a month he's gone. It's just It's not fair to us. So please, please don't come back to pw if you're not gonna stick around. I need you. We need you. This has been pw news socket.

Can. Not. Wait. To shit tomorrow. There's a guy at work that is CONSTANTLY shitting around 7 am when I wanna clean the restrooms. I always just roll my eyes thinking man dude AGAIN? Do you save all your pooping for work? Just between you and me I borderline like pooping depending on the "type", so it's not something that's awful that I'll only do on the clock (like nursing a hangover). Is he so poor that he doesn't have running water so he can't poop?
Now that I'm thinking about it though, maybe he has his own PW News to listen to on the pot?
Yes I just created history. Never before in human history has a person considered the psychology behind the scheduled morning poops of two individuals.

I'll poop whenever I can. It's just the combination of coffee and work stress often proves to be the most effective laxative. I also would be lying if I said I didn't love the idea of being paid to poop. So every turd released on the clock is profitable shit IMO.
