This week, I'm not saying wrestling. Remember when I told you wrestling was about to get cool while it just did?

We've got at least three different American promotions to talk about today.

So let's get to it. This is not saying wrestling.

This is not saying wrestling.

Introducing your host from New York. Here is Sam.

Rumors.

Thank you, Howard. Welcome to not saying wrestling.

You know, I feel like the summer coming out of the pandemic and arena is opening.

I feel like the professional wrestling industry was like a baby deer just learning how to use its legs.

You ever see a deer start to stand up for the first time and they get all wobbly and they get all shaky and you don't realize because you grow up looking at deer.

And if you see them, I live in the suburbs. I sometimes see deer on my front lawn and they are majestic creatures. Strong legs. I mean, they gallop.

Some of these deer, their legs are so strong that when cars hit them, the cars are the things that get damaged, not them. But at the beginning, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

All four of these deer legs are wobbling back and forth. Can't figure out how to get that torso off the ground and move it forward and back so that they can get food so that they can one day provide for the baby deer.

A doe is a female deer.

Now, I remember from the song, but eventually they get there. I feel like summer coming out of the pandemic was the wrestling industry learning how to use its deer legs.

And if this weekend, as the podcast is released, the date of this recording and release of this podcast, I'm recording in five hours before it comes out. So you lucky not see them shows on Patreon.

Every week you get the podcast early and add free this week, you get it about four to five hours early.

But as of today, September six, I consider it's it's a Labor Day. That's kind of the end of summer.

Now, if this weekend is any indication, now is the time that the wrestling industry has decided to gallop forward. Now is the time where the wrestling industry has decided it is no longer time to be baby deer.

It is time to be full grown majestic deer. Maybe the antlers are even growing in maybe you're becoming moose maybe bison. I don't know, but those legs aren't shaky anymore. No, no, no, no, no, no, because everything that we've been waiting for for the last almost two years at this point, watching all this wrestling with no crowds, feeling like we were in a holding pattern for months and months and months and months.

Is finally paying off things are finally moving forward and it is happening at an absolutely rapid pace.

Today is my birthday and today I'd like to talk about all the reasons that in the days that led up to my birthday, I went to sleep with a smile on my face and all of those reasons are pro wrestling related.
