      This is the good stuff. I'm pretty burned out on the AEW reviews because the show itself has become boring and uninteresting. Never thought I'd say that the acid fever dream shitshow that Dynamite has been for so long would become completely boring, but here we are. I find the WWE reviews 'to be slightly more interesting because I enjoy those shows somewhat. I'm really hrilled though when we get stuff like the clip a few months back where Cornette talked about the first few years of Lawler's career, Guess the Program, or this type of content where we hear about his cateet

I only mention this to say that I laughed at what you said about it. Why? Because I'm not a soft little shit who takes offense at everything.

    There's so many similarities between wrestlers and ironworkers.
    Both travel to small territories, sometimes out of state.
    Ironworkers have to deal with new contractors like bookers. And after a short training period, you better be able to pull your weight or you'll get run off.
    Both have the opportunity to make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
    Both have larger than life stories of the strongest, toughest men you've ever known.
    Both have stories for days on women, booze and drugs.
    Both are dangerous. Both have a somewhat brotherhood.
    Obviously there's no TV or promos in real life. In my mind, ironworkers are like the pro wrestlers of the real world.
