Mike “the Ref” Malowany

I'll chat about it more on Tuesday night's stream, but I am truly thankful for the last 15 years. Both the experiences and the people I have met along the way.

4/4

Now settling into the role as a mentor for a new generation of creators, plus creating gaming & online reaction content, I feel so grateful to those that have supported me in this journey. To those that doubted what I could do, thank you for the fuel to make me better.

3/4

The opportunity to be trending in Canada, even for one night, felt amazingly special. Even got a chance to dabble in some sports coverage as well.

2/4

Tuesday marks 15 years for me as a content creator.

Started with an internet call in show, talking CFL and WWE. Transitioned into an indy wrestling podcast with some great friends. Which blossomed into the top video production group in the province for a time.

1/4

Sorry for the lack of a stream tonight. Working this morning at 6 and the lack of sleep will do bad things to a body.

Trust me… we will make up for it.

15 years… time to make an imprint. See y’all Tuesday.

I went to the bathroom after the half-inning and Canada was pitching again… knew that was a bad sign.

For two promotions now I have wondered what Jade did to get in the position she has… I honestly wonder how much longer this farce will continue.

WWE is now a moments company… Danhausen creates moments… it’s a good fit.

As long as they can learn to book…

As far as I’m concerned, Mania will be fine at worst.

But this is the one thing I am most worried about in terms of storytelling and character development.

Jade is being given all the tools to succeed this Mania. It’s up to her now.

Spent the day rebuilding my OBS setup. Too many stability issues with meld. Hopefully they can get their system working better, cause those crashes are rough on my stream numbers.

But I did add a couple new features.

Might do a test tomorrow night.

There is something so brilliantly devious about putting the Rascalz in a Mile High Madness match!!! Well done @tonykhan.bsky.social
