*This blog post was started on May 31, 2022.
Nothing seems to be going right in starting this post. I looked up songs by The Smiths to come up with a title for the personal part of the blog only to look at my previous posts to find that two posts ago was called "Pick Your Smiths Songs". That is a real kick in the teeth because "Suffer Little Children" would be fitting for the past week.
If it is any consolation for us Americans who have compassion instead of homicidal desires (Are these what Matt Bellamy was singing about?) and the need to defend their past, Twitter has not been too bad. Prior to Uvalde, I was still getting some gun nuts coming out of the woodwork in regards to my call for them to practice their aim instead of buying semi-automatic weapons. Those tweets were sent during WrestleMania weekend. Did those cunts just get out of Twitter jail and had to catch up on whatever those who are more careful in their echo chamber had to disparage?
They are probably just laying low right now because the cowards they voted for are taking the heat for the bullshit they would spout in their stead. If being in power cannot stop you from being an embarrassment, what can your anonymous ass do? Once the house passes their legislation, they will probably express their paranoia again because racist assholes like Rodney Davis had failed them, so red state senators cannot.
I thought I would get around to writing about my own struggles (like trying to find something to enjoy that is not dependent on the influence of others per my therapist), but after naming an incompetents racist, memories of his anti-woman stance come to mind. It has been so long since I wrote for the sake of writing, I did not get to express my anger over Roe v. Wade's inevitable overturning. Should I be writing just to get my rage out? If Mom cracks down on the therapy bills, that maybe my only option.
There is a part of me that thinks I maybe adding even more stress into my life by going to therapy. We are developing a good report, but can it help me? I think that I maybe focusing more on my problems, so that I will have them to talk about. Hence, my troubles seem like they are on my mind more now. With rent going up $60 and a credit card interest coming do, working short shifts with few friends leaves me focused on the lack of money. Sticking around before/after my shift was scheduled to begin/end may help the pocketbook, but it is only more time to think about how few pages are in it.
When it comes to finding outlets to be social, my big sister finds it in Twitter. With her personality, it is easy to see why. She gets to chat with fellow ignored souls. To cope with the assholes she had to endure, being ignored meant a good day. I suppose my problem is that I cannot stand just being ignored.
And the world's problem is not developing a thick skin where they can ignore silly statements. I have probably left people more upset by calling Johnny Depp menacing and claiming that people who ignore their dogs on walks to focus on their phones are closet cat people. People want to be heard, but not interacted with. How dare anyone make them think of the trivial (and occasional dim) things they have said.
Then you get assholes like @daykyle who want to remind me how Cody Rhodes return to WWE is improving rating for McMahon's promotion while the needle only moved once for CM Punk's return to wrestling. I guess this blog will piss him off. Maybe it will get him to write blogs because 280 characters cannot offer him an argument.
The Current Disgruntled's Real Wrestling Champions (May 31, 2022)
With that said, we already know who is going to be named the Men's World Champion. How is Cody going to top the CM Punk story? He is not going to be the guy to unseat the DRCW Interim Champion. Winning Money in the Bank and then cashing in after Roman Reigns beats The Rock is the only way I think his story can be better than what Punk's comeback has been.
He might get a brief reign before WrestleMania, but unless McMahon is going to make the turncoat their top guy and abandon the 10-year build of the Chris Hero stand in, it is not going to mean a damn thing. A reign where Roman just gets the belt(s) back is nothing more that a shallow means to claim that WWE has shown the upmost respect to The American Dream.
The 98th and Current Disgruntled's Real Men's World Wrestling Champion:
AEW World Champion CM Punk
(His third reign started on May 29, 2022.)
Kazuchika Okada is the only man who has the only style of all "world" champions who can work with Punk. Roman Reigns does not have the legs or the freedom to do so. Jonathan Gresham is too indie darling to translate.
The 49th and Current Disgruntled's Real Women's World Wrestling Champion:
AEW World Champion Thunder Rosa
(Her reign started on March 16, 2022.)
She is not the most athletic champion. That would be Bianca Belair, but Belair has yet to defend her championship. Rosa had defeated the giant of AEW's division in Nyla Rose and had a classic with the woman who took the NWA Women's Championship from her, Sereena Deeb. Ronda Rousey is the most legit champion, but she does not have a new contender yet.
The 151st and Current Disgruntled's Real World Tag Team Champions:
Raw & SmackDown Tag Team Champions: The Bloodline: Jimmy & Jey Uso
(Their second reign started on January 5, 2022.)
After unifying the tag team championships, it is hard to make a case against them. I think AAA/ROH Champions FTR have proven themselves the best team since January 5, but they lacked ROH gold to stake their claim as the champions.
The OCHO: The 159th and Current Disgruntled's Real Secondary Champion:
ROH Television Champion: Samoa Joe
(His third reign began on April 15, 2022.)
It is really a matter of timing at this point. SANADA was about to relinquish the IWGP United States Championship due to injury. WWE's Intercontinental Championship feels like it is off TV, and that Ricochet only won it to add more heat to the Sami Zayn/Johnny Knoxville feud. Theory has a lot of juice with Vince McMahon as his on screen mentor, but only won the title after Joe won his. Fin Balor's reign was brief and only to allow Damian Priest to turn heel. Trey Miguel is always going to be looked at as the third member of The Rascals.
Joe beat Minouro Suzuki for his current title in Suzuki's only attempted defense. But it was still the founder of Pancrase he had to beat.
The 160th and Current Unified Gnarly Men's Doubles World Champions:
AEW World Tag Team Champions: Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy Jack Perry
(Their reign started on January 10, 2022.)
With no Rated RK-Bro currently, who else can it be? Well, sadly AEW is currently focusing on seeming makeshift teams of singles competitors, so the AEW Tag Team Championships may not get elevated to the Real Tag Team Championship for the foreseeable future.
The 48th and Current Modern Poser Champion:
WWE Unified Universal Champion Roman Reigns
(His second reign started on August 30, 2020.)
He can work with Punk because they have in the past, but he definitely cannot go with Okada or Gresham. This concept of a Real World Champion was established by Taz when he called out Steve Austin and Ric Flair before his ECW/FTW "Living Dangerously" unification bout with Sabu. You cannot believe Reigns over Punk.
As a creative type, I almost want to curse AEW. The World Championship booking is so consistent, it is rare that I get to write about who the real champions are. "Forbidden Door" will be an important event because it will test Tony Khan's skill as a booker.
Hopefully he will have learned from "G1 Supercard" and resist winner takes all affairs. With the amount of championships, the card writes itself. Stick to the New Japan emphasis on championship matches, and I am sure it will deliver. Just do not book Okada/Punk. I need my booking pencil.
