Jim Cornette and Brian Last are facing the impossible task of discussing Chris Benoit’s career, and it is every bit as uncomfortable as you would expect. While the internet wrestling community often demands we erase history, Cornette offers a chilling perspective on why pretending he never existed is a... mistake. He argues that we cannot just ignore the past because if we do, we forget the rotten things that were done. The conversation takes a dark turn when they contrast the man who was a dedicated, respectful worker in 1994 with the monster he eventually became. Cornette posits that severe brain damage created two entirely different people, noting that if ever a case can be made for someone going out of their mind, this is it. It is a sobering look at how a brilliant technician’s legacy is inextricably tied to his horrific end. Brian Last insists that denying Benoit’s incredible 1994 run in New Japan is simply denying reality. They force the listener to confront the ugly complexity of wrestling history. Should we celebrate the athlete while condemning the man, or is the entire legacy permanently TOXIC? Watch the clip and decide where you draw the line. (source: Jim Cornette Jim Cornette)show more

Triple H was a total ZERO in 1994 and Jim Cornette is absolutely right to call him out. While modern revisionists try to act like The Game was destined for greatness from day one, he was just a haughty, fluffy character with a big head of hair. He was Joe Nobody while actual legends were doing the heavy lifting. The real tragedy of the business is how Dustin Rhodes was handled. Dustin was a legitimate, top tier worker who could go bell to bell, yet he was pushed aside for gimmicks. Cornette drops the hard truth that Dustin was a natural talent, while the future boss was just playing dress up. It is an EMBARRASSING reality check for anyone who thinks HHH was some kind of prodigy back then. (source: Jim Cornette Jim Cornette)

Jeff Jarrett just dropped a MASSIVE take on the state of the industry, and it’s going to ruffle some feathers. While the internet wrestling community is busy debating the merits of Triple H’s creative or Tony Khan’s massive roster depth, Double J is pointing out the glaring OMISSION in today’s product: The LOST ART of booking for HEAT. Jarrett didn't shy away from the Jim Cornette conversation. He admits that while the business has evolved into a completely different beast....with streaming, no house shows, and a total shift in metrics; the fundamental truth remains: HEELS DRAW MONEY. Is the industry ignoring the one thing that actually puts butts in seats? Jarrett suggests that if you book for heat, you WILL get the payoff, citing MJF as a rare example of someone who actually understands this concept in the modern era. Are we watching a product that has abandoned the most important rule in professional wrestling? Or is the "Cornette style" of booking officially an ARCHAIC relic that has no place in 2026? SOUND OFF IN THE COMMENTS. 👇 (source: My World With Jeff Jarrett My World with Jeff Jarrett)

The backstage atmosphere in the WWF was complete CHAOS. Jim Ross is pulling back the curtain on a legendary blowup between Jim Cornette and Shawn Michaels. It started over a botched superkick in Anaheim, but JR calls it an unnecessary pissing contest. Michaels used his massive influence with the Chairman as a trump card to win the argument. Cornette was miserable in Connecticut and tired of the corporate red tape. It was a volatile mix of massive egos that defined an entire era of the business. 🍿 (source: Grilling JR with Jim Ross Jim Ross)

The landscape of wrestling media is SHIFTING beneath our feet and it looks like total corporate control. Conrad Thompson reveals that the recent pivot at Busted Open to exclusive WWE coverage is a top-down mandate from SiriusXM executives. They do not want a balanced conversation about the entire industry anymore. They want a dedicated brand channel just like they have for the NFL. Jim Ross calls this PAR FOR THE COURSE. It is a harsh reality that wrestling discourse is no longer about journalism. It is strictly about entertainment and protecting the brand interests. If you were looking for objective coverage, you are officially out of luck because the corporate machine is taking the wheel 🚨 (source: Grilling JR with Jim Ross Jim Ross)

Modern wrestling is suffering from a MASSIVE lack of genuine heat, and Jeff Jarrett is calling out the industry for ignoring the BASICS. Conrad Thompson pulled up Jim Cornette’s definitive rules for being a competent heel, and the list is a BRUTAL reality check for today's talent. The fundamental rules are simple: stop trying to outwrestle the babyface and start cheating when it actually matters. Jarrett agrees, labeling this Lawler 101. But the real friction comes when addressing the modern era. Cornette suggests you must say things that make people mad and mean them, but Jarrett warns that today, that will simply get your ass thrown out. 😡 It seems the art of being a villain is dying because nobody knows how to handle the pressure.

DAVE SMITH: WE HAVE AN UNPRECEDENTED DEBT CRISIS—BUT THEY TELL YOU ELON IS THE PROBLEM!? “The U.S. federal government is the biggest organization in the history of the world. We spend more than any other government in the history of the world has ever spent. We are so far in debt now that the interest on the debt is now, I believe last year it was $1.2 trillion. And it's going up. The interest on the debt is now overtaking the entire budget. If we balanced our budget tomorrow, we still run a trillion-dollar deficit every year just because we owe it on the interest on the debt. This is so obviously a crisis. And then they're trying to convince you that the real crisis is that Elon Musk and a few of his genius nerd buddies want to open the books. How the fuck can you convince anyone of that?” Source: The Joe Rogan Experience, April 3, 2025

The Merch King has arrived, and even Jim Ross is struggling to process the phenomenon that is Danhausen. Conrad Thompson is calling it the definitive takeover, noting that Danhausen is currently outselling everyone on the WWE roster with over 40 items on the shop. It is a level of crossover appeal that has permeated ESPN and the NBA playoffs, leaving even the biggest stars answering questions about him. Jim Ross is officially putting the industry on notice. He admits he has never seen anything like this. JR is urging WWE to capitalize immediately, suggesting they put his ass on the road and blow this thing up before the window closes. Is this just a flash in the pan, or is Danhausen the most accidental marketing genius in wrestling history? SOUND OFF BELOW. 👇 (source: Grilling JR with Jim Ross)

CM Punk isn't pulling any punches about the old WWE regime. He is calling out the toxic culture where talent were treated like disposable trash for one minor mistake. Punk claims the turnover was a disaster, saying he remembers people getting fired because their punches sucked. It sounds like a total nightmare where nobody felt safe. Jim Ross isn't letting management off the hook either. He thinks it takes a team effort to screw things up and points out that WWE got complacent. He says nothing is hot right now and that is creative's fault. It is a damning indictment of a system that lost its way. Is this the harsh reality check WWE needs to finally wake up? Watch what JR has to say about the state of the product. (source: Grilling JR with Jim Ross Jim Ross)

Arteta asked if the current team are better than the invincibles: “No, because Invincibles won a lot and they won consistently and they created a history and legacy and we have to do that. “Obviously there is a lot of stats, but in the last two or three years, as well, we had stats and more points and more goals and the history of that, but at the end we have to translate that into major trophies and what we want to do, and probably now what we are doing. “It would have been enough, but now it's not enough, and we have to make it the margins even bigger, and that's what we have to aim for.”

[WATCH] With regards to the AbaThembu King we don’t support his stance on Isreal. We don’t support Israel as the ANC. What the king is doing is a betrayal of our solidarity with the Palestinian people. Doing arrogantly and blatantly like that is unbelievable, especially as somebody who comes from a struggle background. He was in exile and his father a stalwart of our liberation struggle, the fact that he can simply forget all of that and side with a state that kills people. If he went to Israel and Palestine we would understand. But to insult the cause of the Palestinians in Israel is a betrayal. #ANC114

🛑 Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 - Captain with school boys and girls! The young Captain was having a conversation with the pupils, and here is what he saying, “I was telling you a while ago, in school they were telling us that we couldn’t do it here. They lied to us. We grow wheat here, and it works well, and we will develop it. Some people have started, this year, I was able to see people who did it, as part of the presidential initiative, and I was told that in the past, some were able to do it and they produced it well. Currently, we are sowing wheat in some farmlands as part do the presidential initiative. What you eat must be produced here. So, this is why I say that we will teach you many things, and we will review the curricula they teach you. For those who drink coffee, they told us that your coffee, chocolate, it is only in the countries with abundant rainfalls, that here is only savanna, desert, it does not rain, we cannot farm. Again, they lied to us. It’s not true! Coffee grows well here, cocoa grows well too. There are people here who have the farms here, even in Ouagadougou here, there are people who have cocoa trees in their yards. This means that, chocolate that children envy those from well to do familes can be manufactured here in Burkina and all the children can eat chocolate in Burkina. We found out it is possible. As for milk, why do we have to import it? We can do it. I just want to tell you that there are many things that they never told us the truth about. You guys are lucky, we are now teaching you, and we promise you that we will do all we can so that you can eat your fill. As we say, you will eat well in the morning before you go to school, you will go to school for free, you will eat lunch, you will have fun, and in the afternoon, when you return home, you will have fun in the neighborhood, then in the evening, you will learn and review your homework and sleep. This is the dream we have. As long as the children in Burkina are not in these conditions, our fight will not stop. Ok? (Claps). So, we know these are your aspirations and it is right and legal. Any parent is fighting for this. Even those who do not have children fight in the hope of having children and to take care of them, so that they can live in better conditions, and be better than them. This is the fight of everyone, this is the fight of every generation. We are lucky God gave us everything. Do you know that everywhere in Burkina we can farm? Everywhere! In the Sahel where they tell you it is the desert, it is only sand, we can farm. As for us, we have been lied to so much, it is the brainwashing of the colonizer. He did that so that we may not think 💭. But we finally found out that everything was a lie ( damn lie, emphasis is mine). If God left many lakes in that desert, He knows why. We can farm everything in Burkina, we can do everything, the land is fertile. And there are so many natural things in Burkina that we never planted but they were here, isn’t it ? Have you ever learned how to plant a shea tree in Burkina? You were born and found them already here right? It is there in the wild in nature. You know it is a gift from God. There are many things in the shea fruit. You have the shea butter, that is oil; do you know that there is chocolate in it? There are seven derivatives in the shea fruit. You also have the Parkia biglobosa (also known as the African locust bean) which is a natural fruit. We have many things, it is not only the minerals in the soil. Even with the soil, we were told that it’s ferralitic soil, that it is not fertile, everything is a lie. You see that today there is so much gold in Burkina. But it is just poorly managed. Our mission is to well manage these resources, and to take good care of you, so that you can be in your basic rights, to lead a good life, to go to school, and that we may protect you. And also that you may fulfill your duties, because your duties are very important, aren’t they?…

Christianity is a National Security Threat: "We have a Bible mandate to be a comfort to the Jewish people because they have been through the hell of the Holocaust" "God has never called the Gentile people in the Old Testament his people. These are the Jewish people" "We are doing what we are doing in order to ensure that America continues to survive and thrive because the Bible says, "I will bless those who bless you, Israel. I will curse those who curse you, Israel." "History has shown us that both biblical and otherwise. And whether we like it or not, the modern state of Israel is proof positive that the Bible is true and that God is real." "And that is why we do what we do. If the nation of is Israel ceased to exist, then the Bible is a lie. And so we are not lobbying for a foreign nation.

Alan Watts on why meditation has no purpose: Alan Watts begins by explaining the first basic reason for meditation. It interrupts our constant internal monologue: "Now, obviously, if I talk all the time, I don't hear what anyone else has to say. And so in exactly the same way, if I think all the time, that is to say, if I talk to myself all the time, I don't have anything to think about except thoughts. And therefore, I'm living entirely in the world of symbols and am never in relationship with reality." But then Watts pivots to a deeper, more counterintuitive point: meditation, properly understood, has no purpose at all. He compares it to music and dancing: "When we make music, we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music, to get to the end of the piece then obviously the fastest players would be the best." The same applies to dance: "When we dance, we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor, as we would be if we were taking a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point. When we play music, the playing itself is the point." This is where Watts delivers his core insight about meditation: "Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment. And therefore, if you meditate for an ulterior motive, that is to say, to improve your mind, to improve your character, to be more efficient in life, you've got your eye on the future and you are not meditating." Watts argues the future is an illusion we chase at our own expense: "Because the future is a concept. It doesn't exist. As the proverb says, 'tomorrow never comes.' There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be. Because time is always now." He pushes back against how religion has framed contemplative practice: "Meditation is supposed to be fun. It's not something you do as a grim duty. The trouble with religion as we know it is that it is so mixed up with grim duties. We do it because it's good for you; it's a kind of self-punishment." Watts closes with what he calls the real essence of the practice: "It's a kind of digging the present. It's a kind of grooving with the eternal now and brings us into a state of peace where we can understand that the point of life. The place where it's at is simply here and now."

Trump on eliminating the Filibuster… He might just be giving you the playbook on how the rest of this plan gets rolled out… “I am totally in favor of terminating the filibuster, and we would be back to work within 10 minutes after that vote took place, and lots of other good things would happen. Here's some of the things that we'd pass if we terminated the filibuster, voter ID, no mail in, voting, no cash bail, no men and women's sports, no welfare for illegals. You could go on and on. This is two pages of things would do if you did that without it. I don't know that you passed anything, because you can't deal with them. But if we do it. We will never lose the midterms, and we will never lose the general election, because we will have produced so many different things for our people, for the people, for the country, that it would be impossible to lose an election. ….. if the filibuster is terminated, we will have the most productive three years in the history of our country. If the filibuster is not terminated, then we will be in a slog with the Democrats, and very little for either party will be done. So it's a good thing.”

The Maasai tribe from Africa teaching the world "What is a woman" Matt Walsh travels to Africa to ask local villagers about transgenderism and if their notions of gender are as fluid as in the West. He asks the Maasai Tribe "What is a Woman?". What they tell Matt is different from many of the so called “experts” who couldn't answer the Question "There are things a woman can do that a man cannot, and things men can do that women cannot, hence, we have been created equally but different to ‘supplement’ each other by being what the other is not" ~ Maasai Tribe Elder "if you want to become a lady but you are a man, you have something wrong with you ..." ~ Maasai One of the Maasai Men asked the translator in Maasai language "is this guy insane or what?" They were clearly holding back laughter out of kindness. As soon as Matt left they told all their friends back home and laughed at the outside world. This is the first time in the Documentary Film Matt looks so afraid not to offend people! And as someone from Africa, I can assure you that they were thinking what the hell is wrong with this man is he insane or what? Before the translator could finish the last question, the whole crowd was laughing. It is as if Matt proved to the Maasai tribe that the outside world is crazy. Your comments on this
