  • I mean, other than being racist shitbags, fine, I guess? Wresting isn’t really my thing, but I can respect it as a kind of cooperative dance and storytelling exercise. Still, being a big guy with a personal trainer and a built-in or built-up audience is sort of what pro wrestling is for.

    If he can’t get the choreography down, though, he won’t last long there either. It’s not a sport, but it is a challenging physical activity that a lot of the performers take seriously, including making sure they don’t hurt each other because of any lack of skill.


  • I was poking around some boxing posts on the other link-aggregator site, and a lot of folks were noting that the ring seemed to be larger than usual, allowing Paul to last longer simply by running away like a Monty Python knight, and that his opponent was likely a bit past his prime and out of practice, and finally that the ref was letting Paul do some “anti-boxing” hijinks that they normally stop sooner. They were also speculating that Netflix was only willing to pay up if Paul fought a legitimate boxer, though, and everything up until now had been somewhere between pro-wrestling fixed and watching the top-pyramid amateurs at your local pay-to-play indoor soccer/football park.

    All that, and the asshat still ends up as a hilarious meme. Small win, but gotta take 'em when they come.
