Fyter Fest 2022 (1/4)
Surprise work barbecue (not actually a surprise, I just forgot it was happening)! I'm full of delicious hot dogs and ice cream sandwiches! The only issue is that I filled up a good hour and a half before I usually take my lunch break, so hopefully I can make it to the end of the day without starving. I don't want to eat any more so that I can eat a whole box of horrible Cheetos mac and cheese during Rampage tonight! It's all a delicate balancing act to keep myself from binging horrendously!
Hot dogs were dang good, though.
14. Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?
Hmm, so many variables here to consider. Is it a one-off? Can I come back, like a vacation, in which case hell yeah, or is this a commitment to leaving the present behind/ahead? Or is it a Moira MacTaggart post-character-assassination thing, where I could live my own life over again? Cuz that could be cool, if tedious in parts. Is it at-will, whenever I want to do it? In that case I would probably be dead inside of five years from just living my days off over and over again, which would be nice but ultimately probably unfulfilling. WITHOUT MORE DETAILS, I MUST RELUCTANTLY DECLINE. What I really want is just one good Groundhog Day loop, that's the dream.
15. Who was the last person to call you?
My mom, last night, accidentally. She meant to text me to come see what the cats were doing in her bedroom (lying on top of each other (out of pure spite, not affection), it was very cute) and called me in the kitchen instead while I was making noodles.
Wrestle post because I'm still chewing on some stuff.
First of all, it remains fucking insane that this show is still a thing (a four-night event, no less!!) in the year of our lord 2022. FYRE FEST WAS HALF A DECADE AGO, THIS IS SUCH BATSHIT COMMITMENT TO SUCH A STALE JOKE IT'S KIND OF AMAZING. Anyway, it banged hard so WHATEVER I GUESS.
Obviously bigger developments happened later on, but Wardlow vs. Orange was a goddamn joy and also extremely horny; I can't believe how quickly that wonderful, large-breasted man has completely rescued the TNT title from the mud. Overnight!! Best Friends cheating in the most insane, inept ways possible was also just... perfect. I really missed them being pure agents of chaos, it's been way too long. Let Chuck keep his chainsaw!!
Dark Order hijacking Hangman's segment to challenge House of Black on his behalf was kinda weird, since he didn't seem too bothered by the Brody thing in the first place? I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHO HE WAS TEXTING, FUCK, BTE this week gonna be a good one. But I DO quite enjoy Dark Order first reclaiming the 'spooky perverts' nickname and then reweaponizing it against somebody else. THEY STOLE YOUR BIT, CHUCK, CHAINSAW THEM.
And then some other shit happened and then the Bucks lost the belts and I'm so!!! This was such a great card on paper with pretty clear outcomes throughout AND THEN!!! And yeah, it just drives home the fact that the Hardys were totally supposed to win the belts from JE in that ladder match before the Jeff thing happened and the Bucks were just transitional champs while they figured out wtf they were gonna do with the title instead, but STILL!!! Damn!!! As soon as Matt lost his shoe, I said 'NO FUCKIN WAY' out loud, but that trope has been well established enough now that they're only going to subvert it in a BIG DEAL way, so yeah, it was inevitable from that point on.
So yeah, wow, the Bucks take the crown from FTR for shortest reign as tag champs, while ALSO having the longest reign as same, no FTR vs. Bucks III for All Of The Belts (which, honestly, I'm not crying about; FTR walking in with three titles would have made it feel super lopsided and obvious who was winning, those guys are on the run of their careers and when they face the Bucks again they should be on more even footing SORRY FANBOOKERS), and most importantly (for my Agenda), they've lost the one last thing they were clinging to to avoid thinking about their interpersonal drama. No more gold, no more glory, all they've got left are their friends and oh wait THEY'RE ALL INJURED AND GONE RIGHT NOW.
Except one.
Who is also still building himself back up after a big loss.
SEND THE GODDAMN TEXT, MATT, AGH, FUCK.
In conclusion, cool pin.
Okay, that did successfully kill most of the day, ONE HOUR TO HOME AND SUPPER AND MORE OF THIS NONSENSE!
