R/SquaredCircle post Al Snow's first public statement since the horrific incident at OVW last night. It includes a Screenshot of an Al Snow tweet saying "I told the Waffle House waitress there was a fly on my Waffle...she said oh I forgot that one when I took off the other three"
Fuck Al Snow. 🤼♂️
I don't know how you see a man spasming in a way no ref has ever sold a ref bump & just callously throw him aside to get your shit in. This was taped too so there would've been someone at a monitor who could have spotted it & a ringside doctor. A massive failing.
Thoughts are with Dallas Edwards.
Seeing the footage, which is extremely upsetting, this should probably be the end of OVW. A ridiculous level of neglect of one of the performers (which referees very much are). It is clear that Edwards is not "selling" before he is dragged & kicked away & it is only after that medical intervenes. 🤼♂️

My understanding is that running Puerto Rico without the Colóns and running Quebec without the Rougeaus are two things you didn't do in wrestling if you wanted a good house. No idea how true it is but can't hurt to get in good with the Colóns if you want to have a show in Puerto Rico.
Tweet by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful "Referee Dallas Edwards' girlfriend issued the following comment after his scary spot on OVW this week: "Please keep Dallas in your thoughts as your day begins. I am not going to provide much more information at this time except to the parties who already know, but last night resulted in a brain injury that is being monitored and will continue to be monitored by doctors here. Seeing all the support you guys have already given is amazing and I didn't want to leave everyone without some kind of update.""
Update on Dallas Edwards. I really hope there is no long lasting damage as a result of the seizure and failure to get him medical attention sooner. 🤼
To be fair, the clickbait headline makes it sound worse than the full quote where he says Travis was the third hardest hit he took with Hardcore Holly trying to knock him out as 2nd and Nattie as 1st but yeah, you don't need to frame it as shocking, Cody. She's Nattie Neidhart, she's tough.
"Number one might shock you, but I felt it in both of my heels. I felt it in my feet. I had to plant my feet. It was so hard. Nattie Neidhart. [She] hit me, it felt like an MLB batter swinging the bat. And I walked into it. She leveled me."
She's a Hart trained in the Dungeon. Really not shocking.
Thoughts are with Dallas Edwards and his loved ones, and hope he recovers.
Fuck kayfabe, stopping the match if there's the sign someone is injured or in medical need has to become the industry standard in wrestling. This is gross negligence on OVW's part. 🤼
Someone clearly didn't get the memo. #AEW 🤼
Hacksaw's the only Patriotic gimmick I fall for & I'm not even American! Hacksaw went on GamesMaster (a UK 90s video game show) & he got a USA chant going among the British kids. Meanwhile in a later appearance (21:16 in vid), Patriot's gimmick gets the piss taken out of it.

Was hoping you'd make this one. Love Hacksaw. The Loser Leaves Town For 30 Days Tuxedo Coal Miner's Glove Steel Cage Match against Ted Dibiase is some great 'rassling. The final punch is majestic.

Why HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN rules!
The idea of a full Rock takeover of WWE and him kicking Triple H and Shawn to the curb is such a funny hypothetical. I think I'd lose a full day laughing about it if it happened.
The story is that Rock really didn't get along with The Kliq and DX back in the day too, right? Like I know they created an original character who was a dick to Dwayne in Young Rock that is supposedly based on Shawn.
One of the names who went to the Riyadh Comedy Festival too. If there's one moral Jimmy Carr has, it's that he loves money.
Also then said "American Communism" is Woke and is a recipe for "fucking madness".
Like he really should get as much shit as Ricky Gervais for thinking being a hero the worst teenage boy you knew in the 2000s makes him some great mind on all of society.
I got served up a clip of him by the algorithm where he was taking questions & was asked about ticketmaster & said "Well, don't go." as his defence of their practices, then went off on one about how Capitalism is the best system of a bad lot & Socialism doesn't work with human nature. He's a prick.
For example, it's really weird to me that Jimmy Carr being a tax dodger is just something that gets him some light ribbing on panel shows and not way more shameful.
Yeah, in 2018, he signed a Times letter against Stonewall backing changes to the Gender Recognition Act but it really came out in 2021. Went off the deep end on Twitter. Claims he was cancelled cause Doctor Who Fans pressured Big Finish (who produce Who Audios) to stop using him over his bigotry.
Honestly, James Dreyfus fucking up what would have otherwise been a consistent role in Doctor Who Audio Dramas and opened up the convention circuit because he's a big ol' transphobe is very funny. I love it when bigots lose out. It's one of my favourite things.
He did 4 Doctor Who Audios as The Master and claims he was dismissed as a result of supporting JK Rowling on Twitter. None very wildly well-received and response was tepid to his incarnation. By comparison, Alex Macqueen, (Neil's Dad in The Inbetweeners) is a pretty popular Audio-only Master.
James Dreyfus, mostly bit part actor, such as in House of the Dragon, where the actual star is Non-binary.
James Dreyfus, who claimed he's been erased from Doctor Who over his transphobia when his credits are a small role in a spin-off & The Master...only on audio...where people thought he was Meh.
Oh actually I do remember a funny example now.
Transphobe James Dreyfus, the sidekick off mostly forgotten 90s/00s sitcom, Gimme Gimme Gimme, posted that he'd never heard of Nicola Coughlan when she spoke out in spoke of trans people. That's Nicola Coughlan, star of many very popular recent shows.
I was going to make a joke comparing some of the names at Trans Mission like Beverly Knight, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Sugababes, Ian McKellen, and Nicola Coughlan to "Gender Critical" Celebs but I'm genuinely struggling to remember them cause even if they were famous once, they're now just transphobes.
It's very funny for Transphobes to try to pull a "Who?" with Trans Mission's Guest List when every All-Star "Gender Critical" Event Guest List is basically:
Their work is really cool. They've made a lot of finds. This is obviously the most high profile cause Doctor Who. It's especially good work cause AFAIK BBC policy is still that they won't pay collectors for the return of stuff missing from the BBC archive, so working with ageing collectors is vital.
I feel like the next step in explaining Wrestling to the reasonable non-wrestling fan residents of Bluesky is agreeing that Gimmicks are basically the wrestlers' OCs, and they do basically say "Original Character Do Not Steal". That's why Gimmick Infringement is frowned upon. 🤼♂️

They reckon if there are any more of Who specifically that this will be where they are ie just in private collections, gathering dust because the collector doesn't know what they have. Film Is Fabulous, the charity who found the eps, are specifically seeking permission to hunt in these collections.
