My daughter and i have been watching wrestling docs...
We have seen beyond the mat and both seasons of dark side of the ring...what should we watch next?
Was Dark Side of the Ring a good series overall? I remember catching the Killing of Bruiser Brody and The Montreal Screw Job episodes and found them quite interesting and well done. Just wondering if the rest were as interesting.

One of my biggest concerns over the last 4 years has been how much the mainstream media has tried to drive and shape the anti Trump narrative.
As an outsider I didn’t give a fuck who was in the White House, but I was sick to death of turning on the TV and just hearing non stop Trump TMZ bullshit. Much of the sensational stuff was utter garbage, like “Melanie refused to hold his hand” or “an insider close to the administration” blah blah blah. It was incessant. It truly seemed to me like totally butt hurt journalists who completely misread the election 4 years ago. They just couldn’t stand the fact that the man got elected in and that so many people clearly had a different view of the world to them.
It seemed like objective reporting then went out the window and at every opportunity they sought to denigrate the man. Admittedly he was an easy target and gave them tonnes of ammunition and often what he copped was well deserved.
But it never sat well with me that we had such powerful organsisations and mainstream media truly trying to shape the narrative around him and it just amped up the more his term went on and the closer to the election it got.

Monkeychow, I have to say all of your posts on this topic over the last few days have pretty much echoed my sentiments. As outsiders looking in on the whole situation, just about all of the concerns you have raised I have also felt since the start of this whole shit show 4 years ago.

Nice work, I got Jungle Pit tix too for my son and I. It was really good in that section last time, not overly crowded either so hopefully that's the case again.

Your daughter sounds like a cool little rocker. It’s funny my 8 year old daughter is turning into a rock chick. She loves her black boots with a denim skirt and a Metallica shirt she came home with recently from a shopping trip with mum. She was very proud to show me when she bought that ?

I think that age should be ok.

That would be fun...my youngest is into GnR now...and there was no active influence from me believe it or not
That’s awesome!
My kids have heard some of the classics quite frequently like SCOM, NR etc and like them. But out of nowhere the other day my son said “my favorite GNR song is Nightrain” - not sure where that came from lol, but I like his taste.

Yeah looks like it will be more of the same shit.
I've decided I'm actually going to take my son for his first proper concert. Might as well turn it into a positive. He will be 11 and he already likes quite a few songs so he should enjoy it.

Oh wow so he was obviously quite young when he took office.

Is there any chance of having a presidential candidate that doesn’t have one foot in the grave?
Trump is 74 and Biden is 77, I find that quite staggering. Hilary was 69 I think when she ran against Trump. At least Obama was 59 I think when he won the presidency.
There would have to be a big chance of Trump or Biden dying while in office.
