@henrywinter @NeilSimmy8 @PitchPublishing Surprised you’d endorse a book with a tagline like this, Henry. Would you honestly do the same if his tackle was on Gascoigne?
English

Really looking forward to reading this from @NeilSimmy8. The football story is obviously very strong, facing Gullit and Platini. Aberdeen, Gothenburg glory, trophies, that challenge on Durrant, but also the personal journey and finding his father after 60 years. @PitchPublishing

@bigmatic93 @HamzaA305 @IANdrewDiceClay He was most successful but they still could have got so much more from him. He went from 5-time world champ to tagging with Goldust, then HHH buried him at WM19. He got another run with WHC & King gimmick but very underutilised imo.

@Kenny_Wilder1 @IANdrewDiceClay Did he not get knee surgery at the same time? He didn’t work Mexico until the October. Not sure Vince was even interested in him. Rey Jr. was also not a main eventer in WCW, so didn’t need to be humbled by WWF, was 28 years old, & totally unique for the time.

@_shug @IANdrewDiceClay Rey Mysterio waited out his guaranteed money

@IANdrewDiceClay This was their first 1v1 babyface match. Rock in 2000 was as big as Austin & luckily teflon considering all the jobs he done for HHH. Austin felt fresh after a year out & with new music. The only gripe I would have is Rock should have beaten HHH for the strap, not Angle.
English

People dont even understand just how big this match was, considering Austin vs Rock had wrestled loads of times from 1997 to 2001. They went at it at Armageddon and in the Royal Rumble in multi-man matches before this, too. The appeal of these two was incredible.

@IANdrewDiceClay Most of the top guys in history are insecure paranoid maniacs.

Surely old Steve couldnt have been that beaten down by this company that he thought he was coming back to wrestle and was going on just before Baron Corin vs Drew McIntyre?

Stone Cold chokes back tears talking about WrestleMania 38. This is the most emotional I’ve ever seen Steve Austin. You can tell just how much it truly meant to him.

@ChampRDS @davemeltzerWON genuine question.. has there ever been a promoter who cares less about the promotion than 2026 Dana?

RFK JR: Trump has encyclopedic molecular knowledge across a wide range of very eclectic interests—Broadway shows, golf…
One time, he grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East. Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map. It challenged a lot of the assumptions I had been told about him.
He has this extraordinary depth of knowledge about what’s happening in each of the agencies—my agency and the others—and he has an instinct for making good choices.
I would also say this: I think my uncle, John Kennedy, understood the use of power better than any president before him. And I think Donald Trump understands the use of power better than probably any president we’ve had—at least since Roosevelt, and maybe in American history.

watch any Eddie match, any promotion, any region, any card, you'll find something like this. he was special
Mike@nocommentnumb
They’re on tiktok saying Eddie Guerrero never had any classics outside of his match with Rey at Halloween Havoc??????

@davemeltzerWON The week after they were in Atlanta. Why, if you’re going to have a WCW main event, would you not wait for Atlanta?!
English

They were allowed and in fact it was planned except Vince McMahon changed his mind due to the fans in Tacoma.

The WCW Invasion was doomed to fail as they weren’t allowed to give them a spinoff show, all of the main event talent was getting paid a lot more to stay at home and WCW was a zombie for over a year before it died

Conor Neill on the 3 best ways to start a speech (most people get this wrong):
"I guarantee if you go to conferences, 19 out of 20 speakers will start in one of these ways: 'My name is Conor Neill. I'm from Tango, and this talk is about the latest trend in monitoring strategies.' But all of you are sitting with a piece of paper that already says who I am and what I'm going to talk about. By repeating what you already know, I'm giving a signal that it's time to get your BlackBerry out."
Conor explains the three best ways to start instead:
Third best: A question that matters to the audience.
"How do you phrase a problem that the audience faces in a question?"
Second best: A factoid that shocks.
"There are more people alive today than have ever died. Every two minutes, the energy reaching the earth from the sun is equivalent to the whole annual energy usage of humanity. Does that change how you think about energy?"
The best way: Start like you'd start a story to a child.
"How do we start a story to a child? 'Once upon a time.' And what happens when you say once upon a time? My daughter leans forward, gets ready to hear, engages. We were all trained as kids to know when a story's coming. We also know when a teacher is about to deliver a 40-minute boring lecture."
He explains the grown-up version:
"In business, you don't hear Jack Welch saying 'once upon a time.' Steve Jobs doesn't start his speeches with 'once upon a time.' So there's a grown-up way of saying it: 'In October, the last time I was in this room, there were 120 people here. I was having a conversation with one of the world's experts on public speaking and he said something to me that changed what I think about what's important in speaking.' Now I can pause for 30 seconds, and you want to know what he said."
Conor concludes:
"Stories are about people. They're not about objects. They're not about things. If you want to tell a good story about your company, don't talk about the software talk about the people who built the software. What they do. How they are. What's important to them. What they sacrifice."
