The McMahons/WWF hushed up Pat Patterson raping ring boys in the 80s, and Vince raped referee Rita Chatteron in like 1985/86 and she tried to sue him but abandoned it after he was acquitted in the steroid trial (lmao).

An auditorium full of adults reciting the pledge of allegiance is creepy.

a restaurant down here is a destination spot for bikers, with all sorts of "patriotic" shit.  At noon every day, they play the Star Spangled Banner, and everybody is expected stop eating and stand up.

From wiki:

 

  • In May 2020, Grant, McMahon, and a personal friend of McMahon engaged in a threesome and at one point, McMahon allegedly defecated upon Grant. McMahon temporarily retired to the restroom to clean himself, at which point the threesome continued for an hour and half with Grant still covered in McMahon's feces.[10]
  • In June 2021, Laurinaitis and McMahon "cornered her and pulled her in between them, forcibly touched her, before ultimately putting her on top of a table in between them. She begged them to stop, but they forced themselves on her, each taking turns restraining her for the other".[10]
  • During the course of her employment, McMahon shared sexually explicit media with a "world-famous athlete" and former UFC Heavyweight Champion[10] – identified by The Wall Street Journal as Brock Lesnar[12] – to entice him to sign a new WWE contract, which the talent eventually did sign.[10]

Grant alleged that the misconduct continued until 2022, at which point McMahon's wife Linda – a former WWE executive and politician – discovered the affair and threatened to divorce him. After several months of negotiations, WWE, McMahon, and Grant signed an NDA in which Grant would be awarded $3 million for her silence; after signing the contract, Grant alleged that McMahon attempted to assault her again. Grant also alleged that key figures in WWE were fully aware of the conduct, and actively sought to conceal McMahon's wrongdoing.[10]

Wrestlers, especially wrestlers of HHH's generation (and before) are almost all carnies at heart. When it is convenient, HHH is the real person. When it is convenient, HHH is just a stage persona and you're silly for taking him seriously. Hulk Hogan was notorious for the same kind of deflection. There's a reason that Trump has been involved with WWF/E throughout his life, and it's because he's also a fucking carny. 

Trump is literally a WWE half of famer. He's carnie to the bone

Well, steak sauce shouldn’t exist. If your steak needs sauce, the correct thing to do to do is throw it away and try again. 

There are uses for steak sauce other than putting it on steak. Also, bacon should be fully cooked.

I don't put it on the steak just a bit on the plate to dip a bite or two in it.

Unfortunately, I was exposed to professional wrestling at a much too impressionable age, and it's a sickness that never fully leaves you no matter how hard you try. Have I listened to an audio production of the entire transcript of Vince McMahon's steroid trial from the 90s, which was dozens of hours in length, including scheduling hearings and sidebars? Sigh, no comment. 

Though I don't watch any modern WWE and I barely ever watch AEW/indies outside of some friends of mine telling me about big happenings. My fave style of wrestling will always be the 70s/80s/90s mid-South/WCW style. The new stuff is too fast and flippy and makes it completely impossible to suspend any disbelief, though the women are bad ass and a lot of them are gay af.

I read an AMA of a writer for the WWE awhile back. It was fascinating, but one question was about Austin claiming that he never had any stories written for him. The guy said some guys are just so damn good that they don't need any help from writers, and Stone Cold was absolutely one of those guys.

We don't even really talk about it here anymore when the President sends out messages to the world that are 100% nonsense. Forget actual news outlets treating them as if they are real stories they need to be covering. Just, "Yep, the president is insane alright. Nothing new there. So, wrestling talk?"

The backstory. https://nypost.com/2025/08/03/us-news/trump-rips-lara-trump-guest-charlamagne-tha-god-after-epstein-claim/

Apologies for the NYP link, but Charlamagne apparently went on Lara's show on Fox and ripped Trump over Epstein.

Provoking the latest insane screed.

This. There’s a pro wrestling school in Austin that puts on shows every two weeks or so, and the style reminds me of the old territories.

Maga wants people in prison for Biden's mental acuity, but all the Trump Truth Social batshittery is A-OK.

Let's imagine the reactions if Obama did <fill in the blank with any of the crazy shit Trump says or does>.

I missed out on Wrestlecircus tickets before they folded, but wasn't aware of a school in town. Very cool.

I think it is based of the time zone of the device that sent it.

Either way, why does America's Grandpa need to be up at 2 am blabbering nonsense?

I’ve been to both (several times) and I much prefer AAPW. Wrestle Circus was more polished and they brought in some established talent. But it always felt like a one-off event. There were no promos, no storylines, etc. You were just there to watch two people fake fight each other, with no narrative context. Kind of takes the fun out of it. 

AAPW is rougher in terms of the actual wrestling. It’s a school, and the performers are students with varying amounts of experience and talent (some are really talented, though). But they put more effort into creating storylines and characters that make the show what it should be: a stupid soap opera that allows you to enjoy the obviously fake fighting as a work of immersive fiction. Hell, there was a turn at a recent show that even my wife was fucking stunned and upset by —  jaw dropped to the floor, gasped, stared at the screen in shock — and she thinks wrestling is stupid nonsense (which… fair enough). 

Plus, it’s like $20 and BYOB. Definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of the territories from the 70s and 80s.

In my 48 years on earth I have never once even for a second understood the appeal of pro wrestling. Even as a kid I was always lost. Diff'rent strokes.

The narrative psychology of the business is fascinating. A good live wrestling show has you suspending disbelief and consciously participating in the scam at the same time.

Because I grew up watching wrestling as a kid, I immediately understood what Trump was doing back in 2015 and how he was working crowds. As noted upthread, he’s a carnie. A damned good one, too. He used the crowd psychology of wrestling to get a shitload of people rooting for him and against everyone else in a way that is simultaneously both very real and entirely tongue-in-cheek. Wrestling fans root for their guy NO MATTER WHAT and they’re entirely comfortable distorting morals to justify the bad behavior of their hero while denouncing the other guy for far less. They know what they’re doing; they just think that’s what they’re supposed to do. Trump basically telegraphed that politics isn’t a serious thing that they have to apply their rational brains to, but can instead approach it with the kind of  shameless hypocritical bias that  wrestling fans employ.

Ironically, wrestling fans seem to understand this better than most groups, and they fucking hate Trump and others like him (Hogan, McMahon, HHH).

There is no chance Trump knew who Charlamagne Tha God was before that.

 

He’s posted about him before.

 

But I’m confused as to what the post was actually saying. Was he mad that Charlemagne (who is on the shit list of the Black community and is trying to get off it) was on Lara’s show? 

 

EDIT: okay, I see that Charlemagne was hosting TDS and outlined the symptoms of dementia and showed how Fat Boy has them. That’s what has him mad.
