@allan_cheapshot Son of a bitch … Dogface caught him

Rick & Scott Steiner vs Tatsumi Fujinami & Tayayuki Iizuka from WrestleWar 1992 was a very stiff and fascinating match, as well as one of my personal favourite matches.

@turbofloyd_ @TruthMagnum @dustinpari Old … pasty ….. but vascular

@ThePowersofPain Damn … that standing drop kick

My match with Davey Boy at WrestleMania VII was incredible. Both of us being so big, we could move & our styles went together so well. It was so cool being in the ring with him knowing how good of a wrestler he was. It was an honor & I will always treasure that match for life.

“Although he still walked and talked just like everyone else, on the inside … he was drowning “

@dustinpari Who’s Swedens only ally?

Haven’t done a Q&A in forever. Anyone have any questions? I’ll answer what I can in between watching wrestling. Then I have to pack for tomorrow’s trip.

Happy Saint Patrick’s day to you all …

@dustinpari Axe: looks like I got a long night ahead of me.

Looks like I’ll be home late Tuesday night. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@ClassicGIJoe You have an orthodontist, a CPA, and a crocodile trainer for all their swamp bases. Sold hires all around Crystal Ball is just useless but every body comes with an appendix

At some point in the mid-80s, Cobra's recruiting philosophy became rather eclectic.

Finish the sentence... I fell in love with wrestling when I saw...

You can’t break someone who already broke & rebuilt themselves…

While the imagery of the twelve axe heads is iconic, I’ve always felt that Homer’s "brutal scene" of slaughtering a hundred men is a "satanic" glorification of revenge that ignores the cycle of violence it creates. We shouldn't mistake a bloodbath for "restoring order" when the hero's first instinct after twenty years is to turn his home into a morgue. Instead of a "noble mission," this feels like a cautionary tale about how war changes a man into someone who can only communicate through a bowstring. It’s one thing to protect your home, but "no mercy and no negotiation" is the philosophy of a tyrant, not a king who truly cares about the future of Ithaca. #GreekMyths #ToxicMasculinity #FactCheck

A powerful scene in the Odyssey happens when Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca after twenty years of war and wandering. You would expect the story to end with celebration, with the hero coming home, the family reunited, and order restored. Homer does something far stranger. Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar, because Athena warns him that the palace has been taken over by more than a hundred suitors who have been living there for years, eating his food, drinking his wine, and pressuring his wife Penelope to marry one of them. They believe Odysseus is dead and in their minds the kingdom is already theirs. So the king of Ithaca walks through his own halls dressed in rags while the men stealing his house sit comfortably at his tables. They mock him, throw scraps at him, and one of them even strikes him, and Odysseus takes it. That is the remarkable part, because the same man who blinded the Cyclops and survived twenty years of disasters now stands quietly while strangers insult him in his own home. Homer tells us his heart burns inside his chest and that he wants to attack them immediately, yet he restrains himself and waits. Instead of striking, Odysseus studies the room carefully. He counts the men, watches their habits, and quietly observes which servants remain loyal and which have betrayed him. The hero of the Odyssey does something most people cannot do, which is delay revenge until the moment is right. Eventually Penelope announces a contest and brings out Odysseus’ great bow, declaring that she will marry the man who can string it and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads lined up in a row. One by one the suitors try and fail, because none of them can even bend the bow. Then the beggar asks for a turn. The suitors laugh at first, but the bow is eventually handed to him. Odysseus takes it in his hands and strings it effortlessly. Homer says the sound of the bowstring tightening rings through the hall like the note of a swallow. Then he places an arrow on the string and sends it cleanly through all twelve axe heads. In that moment the beggar disappears. Odysseus turns the bow toward the suitors and reveals who he is. What follows is one of the most brutal scenes in Greek literature. The doors are sealed and the suitors realize too late that they are trapped inside the hall. Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and two loyal servants begin killing them one by one. There is no escape, no mercy, and no negotiation. The men who spent years consuming another man’s house die inside it. It is a violent ending, but Homer wants you to understand something important. The real danger to Odysseus was never just the monsters and storms on the long journey home. It was the possibility that someone else might take his place while he was gone. When Odysseus finally returns, he reminds everyone in Ithaca of a simple truth: a man’s home is not truly his unless he is willing to fight for it.

@NBC10 I personally would like to see the money I gave to the state of Rhode Island to keep the roads drivable and bridges inspected refunded

Rhode Island’s governor is calling on the feds to refund $770 million in tariff money that he claims residents paid since President Donald Trump enacted his increased taxes on foreign goods. bit.ly/4sDSQSP
