  1. Is it possible the promoters and others involved might have some serious interest in making this a criminal act by Jackson? If they failed that bad at setting up a staged fight they could open themselves to real liability. That would likely outweigh the legal scrutiny. Injuries in wrestling do happen all the time but they are nearly always sports type injuries, or actual stunt work that goes wrong. I cannot recall a single incident of an actual serious beating inside a ring because most of these people want to go to work the next week. And even in real combat sports, you can absolutely be charged if you go outside the rules of the sport and hurt someone. The slamming could easily be hand-waved away as a poor technique or an accident but you can’t say that full downward strikes from the mount are part of a staged work.
  2. Maybe. I think that they’re more likely waiting to see the extent of the damage and if the guy wakes up. I think it’s going to be hard for anyone to walk back the statement of the promoter that already got released which says pretty much what happened. Different era and a different outcome than a bar brawl. Most wrestling fans now approach things from an entertainment perspective.
  3. New angle of this. If you’ve only ever seen pro ‘rasslin on TV you can miss exactly HOW cartoonish and staged it is. That’s in full effect here and makes Jackson look worse. First, it’s so clearly a fake fight and show. Second, you can tell that the wrestler was in performance mode. No resistance or surprise to Jackson’s presence, just part of the show. Third, Jackson’s level of violence is so completely different from what’s going on and people immediately begin trying to intervene.
  4. The latest update is that the other guy is in stable but still critical condition. I would imagine the police might want to hear what he has to say but I do think it’s going to be hard to not charge the guy with the extensive video and streaming evidence. Ultimately the wrestler doesn’t have to agree to press charges and this went way beyond a street fight that got bad. In all states that I am aware of, you can’t consent to an assault that results in serious bodily injury. The combat sports exception only applies when it’s done under regulating bodies’ supervision and conditions like ringside doctors are present. Both unlikely to be met here since the event is entertainment and not a sanctioned fight and because the guy is in critical condition.
  5. Start cultivating a love of the semi-colon and shorten sentences; AI prefers em-dashes and piling up clauses between commas.
  6. The coaches from Grant Union are completely out of line. Can’t expect a high school team to play in control when the leaders are behaving that way.
  7. Yep. They’ve got five of Maryland’s top 15 recruits this year including two five stars and are ranked like 5 nationally. They have multiple other FBS commitments on the roster, too. Basically an IMG type operation except there is a real Catholic school attached to it.
  8. On the topic of the deadly Yakuza, wow. They seem to have really fallen off.
  9. The whole enterprise got shut down because it was basically a Yakuza front.
  10. West Broward got rocked by a Provo, UT team.
  11. Think tank shit and some civil service or Schedule C jobs with State, and a DASDE for strategy in Trump I.
  12. Bridge Colby doing Bridge Colby things. He set up a long-range strike review in the Pentagon for anything involving U.S. weapons or intelligence including using European stuff.
  13. Garbage statement with complete lack of accountability. “Well first of all he hit my son first, second my son was told he could get him back, third they never should have allowed my son to the event, fourth my son was concussed.”
  14. Even if the suplex and initial jumping in ring was a stunt, it’s a brutal assault. He landed 22 haymakers on an unconscious person. Not an opponent because pro wrestling isn’t real and the other guy didn’t know he was in a real fight. Raja being an MMA fighter makes it worse because he (should) be aware of what he’s doing and that he’s not in the octagon with an MMA ref. MMA stays in MMA. Dude needs to be in jail for a long time.
  15. Its the DSA that would be very comfortable on this one:
  16. Super serious non-tankie stuff from the beloved DSA a few days after Russia tried to seize Kyiv.
  17. I don’t think Nike has been doing Tennessee particularly well. Their basic look is fine and won’t change much. Nike is responsible for some really bad Halloween candy wrappers. This is really bad.
  18. Dogshit. I’m completely over black and grey alternate uniforms. Baylor’s green on top of gold is a great look. UNM shows how to do an alternate with a great color that has resonance with the state. Also love the Zia, which should just be the logo. It reminds me of the last time the NFL Cardinals had a good set, and they worked the AŽ flag in on the sleeve.
  19. December 21 was not 22. Deterrence failed because we didn’t try it. Anyway, more Ukrainians would have been alive. It is hilarious that the worst case you can come up with here is a Trump victory with a platformed Tulsi Gabbard. Imagine if that had happened.
  20. The Dems anyway, he got massive protests anyway. So not really a big difference; although there wouldn’t have been a further invasion and people would have forgotten it anyway. But yes, tankies like you would have protested.
  21. Hard disagree. He was too cautious on everything but messaging; following the Obama playbook. And always had the politics front of mind. Bold leadership would have been a company on a training mission near Kyiv and declaring an air policing coalition of willing flying out of Germany and Poland in December 21. That would have flipped Putin’s card table over and make him think of another game.
  22. This was a horrible rebrand. The previous branding and specially logo were perfect: Widget and blob rebranding is nearly always awful. For plane livery changes, it’s hard to beat Aer Lingus’ move to Euro-white as an all-time downgrade. Bring back colors to airports!
  23. Defeating the Woke Marxists by state ownership of industry.
  24. Also of note: Dobson graduated from San Benito High School. Was apparently a good tennis player. Luckily Freddy Fender and Bobby Morrow cancel out Dobson’s suck. They can’t overcome the suck of the Greyhounds though.
