You've gone full Mainstream

I went to a history podcast live event last week and he started talking about Roddy Piper during it, was surreal

Bro.... the world is converging. That Rogan / jonestown vid has 1.6 mil views and the guy discusses kayfabe in it

 

[Chris]

I do think if the question was about anything other than 80s wrestling the guy would have been lost tho tbf lol but he was into it as a kid

This is going to sound obnoxiously pick-me, but to this day I think I died and AEW came from my consciousness and I'm like living in this weird paradigm.

 

[Chris]

But when he did a 20 hour series about the Pacific war in world war 2 and started it by comparing Pearl harbor to a sneak attack by a heel in wrestling, I knew he had some kind of knowledge

when I went to a Winter is Coming in 2022 like I tended to do when they were always in Dallas and Tony booked a 1 hour Bryan Danielson match for me to witness live, it didn't feel real for me at that point either

I know... You talked about it somewhere

 

[Chris]

I came back home and searched up like 15 posts of me telling at various bookers to let Bryan wrestle for an hour over the years

the history club thread

 

[Brett]

you tell me 10 years ago that Dean Ambrose, Kenny Omega, the young bucks, Tanahashi, Kota ibushi, Will Ospreay, and Cesaro would be in a 17,000 attended sold out building in a fucking cage of death match and I would've vomitted on my chest immediately

 

[Looji Nagata]

Exactly

undercard: Nigel McGuiness challenging for the IWGP title

 

[Brett]

AGAINST ZSJ LMAOO

 

[Brett]

Nah dude it's so fucked

 

[Hoss]

I say this to my friends all the time, none of which are wrestling fans but with whom I share many other common interests... it's pure fucking insanity that I've seen Action Bronson wrestling in an AEW ring. The moment actually sucked but also insane that Travis Scott helped heel John Cena win the main event of WrestleMania.
