Hah, I don’t find him terribly believable as a heel, he seems too wholesome and cool.

That was such a good match! Now we need Takeshita vs Okada to unify those belts

😂 Since I watched it last night it was fresh in my mind, but I could decipher Takeshita’s hair and trunks through the blurriness, plus the white ropes. If I didn’t just watch it I would not have gotten it.

Takeshita’s English is getting so much better too, he spoke a bit at the media scrum after the PPV. He’s a beast!

Is that Takeshita?

Everything was fucked!

I was the other way around! I really liked Joy Division, didn’t really care for New Order. Now I like them both, but they stimulate very different parts of my brain.

It was just one of those days!

Wait a second… you’re not Canadian but you know who The Hip are? And you like them?! My mind is blown, my dude. That’s awesome 😃

Weird, I was just about to add my comment in here about The Hip. I used to haaaaate them, like get up immediately and turn the radio station if they came on kind of hate.

Then I remember the music video for Poets came out, and I thought it was okay. Fine, maybe I like one of their songs, but fuck the rest!

And then I heard Bobcaygeon a few years later - I think it was the right place and the right time. A cottage trip, after a few drinks, and somebody I had a lot of respect for said they loved the band. Suddenly Gord wasn’t some awful screechy eccentric folk elderly-rock singer, but an eccentric artist whimsically singing about deep Canadiana. I started exploring them more, and now I love them and passionately regret that I will never be able to experience them live.

RIP Gord, you beautiful weirdo.

If any non-Canadians want a glimpse of what Canadian culture is like go take a listen to the top Tragically Hip songs. Also pay attention to the lyrics because some of them are just poetry and magnificent.

Rush still fucking sucks, though.
