I had never heard of Volk Han until last week so I reviewed a match to learn more. open.substack.com/pub/deanscanon…

@FromCrockettPod I’m not in wrestling but I’m still in an e fed.

Lets just put it all out there: who in wrestling either as a writer or performer is willing to admit they were in efeds? I did that shit WAY longer than I probably should have lol

@snowboiiii Well that is phenomenal

wxw, ganbare, tenryu project, ajpw, tochigi pro, 2cho pro, bjw, basara

@njpwglobal @njpwworld If that genie was being serious with me then it’s going be Jun Kasai.

Who will be the Best of the Super Jr. in 2026? The tournament kicks off THURSDAY LIVE in English on @njpwworld! #njpw #BOSJ33

@snowboiiii Damn where did you see Abe

every wrestler i saw wrestle live for the first time this trip, i'm up to 1506 wrestlers seen now

@SBakabella I’ve seen guys make this list with way less accomplishment than the Daves Hot CHICKEN championship. I don’t know why chicken is capitalized above and I’m not changing it

This year I set a goal to make the PWI 500 It started as a goof, but then I decided, no Fuck that, I want in. I've won the Dave's Hot Chicken Championship, King of Cap, and sold out almost every card I wrestle on. If I don't get in, I'm gong to say that everyone has to pay to get in.

@touchingblood The athlete of the day, to use Dusty’s words

I'm sorry but this is what a real wrestler looks like. If you aren't at least trying to look like this then you are fucking up

@davemeltzerWON Dave are you executing a strategy of some kind responding to every bad faith take someone throws at you? Why not just ignore these?

MSG would be far easier to draw in, and yet they'll do more people than would sellout MSG in the tennis stadium. This is an argument of totally ignorant proportions. Maybe if they had sold 7,000 to 8,000 for DON we'd have a real discussion here. The answer was easy and obvious.

@AIRGold_ I agree the booking can be wonky especially tags and trios but it’s wild if you don’t think Athena has benefited from her run as forever champion.

ROH Champions: • Athena — 1,250 days, 37 title defenses • Lee Moriarty — 656 days, 14 title defenses • Bandido — 402 days, 8 title defenses • Nick Wayne — 387 days, 8 title defenses • STP — 257 days, 4 title defenses • Red Velvet — 159 days, 4 title defenses • LFI — 159 days, 2 title defenses • Deonna Purrazzo — 149 days, 3 title defenses What’s the point of being an ROH champion? Does ROH help anyone? No. Does it lead to bigger opportunities on AEW TV? No. Does it help develop talent or give them reps? No. As a fan, four years into Tony Khan’s ownership, I still struggle to see what purpose ROH serves. If it functioned as AEW’s developmental system, it would make sense, but it doesn’t even do that.

@YinzerOnline @KrisPLettuce I reviewed three of his matches and gave him a fair shake: open.substack.com/pub/deanscanon…

@KrisPLettuce This guy is barely four years into his career. Do you all seriously think he’s not going to improve his conditioning and flesh out his character or intimidation factor while at the Performance Center?

I do not even understand how people's eyes and brain process information when they are trying to defend Mason Rook by saying shit like "Wrestling has always had big guys, haven't you heard of Bam Bam Bigelow and Vader?" Get fucking serious.

It’s dynamite day and BOSJ week but let’s talk about 2008 small town Indiana women’s wrestling open.substack.com/pub/deanscanon…

@garrettkidney @coolguysinceO1 Kinda sounds like you figured it out on your own

Am I supposed to watch a whole other company to understand what this tweet means?

I wrote about Sara Del Rey v Mickie Knuckles in ‘08 IWA-MS open.substack.com/pub/deanscanon…

@PatrickEireWres @BackupHangman In general New Japan world should be marketed as the easiest to navigate wrestling streaming service

@BackupHangman NJPW really don't capitalize on marketing their library enough

Watching a VHS home release of the 1996 G1 Climax and it’s so sad that I can’t post clips because it’s so awesome.

@MarkoutMountain @SH0GENSA I am nearly sure he will get number one votes, he was number one in many iterations of my ballot this year

@SH0GENSA That would be absolutely awesome

Who is going to be the most outside-the-box wrestler to get a #1 vote in #gwe2026?

@dustyf1n1sh And you are saying that dosent sound like an interesting wrestling character!?

he looks like this pillhead fat guy i went to high school with who after stealing morphine from his terminally ill grandmother and ODing he got a second chance at life after rehab and became a bad wedding photographer before catching a statutory charge in 2019 and vanishing

@Badtakejustin Ngl I find the presentation of large joshi promotions to be kind of off putting and a barrier to entry for me at least

I get the icks watching small joshi promotions tbh. The wrestlers are legitimately talented but the whole presentation feels sleazy. If someone walked in the room they’d judge the fuck out of me for watching it.

@StevenGrahamTWS Jim Londos, the star of Meltzer Internet discourse the last week can’t crack the top 400

We have hit 401! #GWE26

When Nietzsche spoke of eternal recurrence, he was referring to questions like “Is Shawn Michaels any good? Is Angle a technician?” People used to say the same things about Plato in 375 BC. Some even claimed his trainer, Ariston of Argos, was better than him. I ranked both, btw

Why can’t Tony D be a mob boss anymore? Why can’t we have any fun in this cold, bleak world?

@PhillySwanson Fucking tell em Philly Mike

What’s even weirder is YOU comparing and saying a 12 yr old is “looking and acting” like a 22 yr old baddie is absolutely INSANE. Maybe this is the way she wants to spend her time and use her creativity for music. I can agree it’s a lot for a kid.. but pick your words better 🫡
