Since we're heading into Martin Luther King Day, I figured I would make the new thread about good ole Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I've always subscribed to MLK's credo of unity and brotherhood amongst the races.  I'm all about that - about people treating people as people and judging them on their character, not the color of their skin. The belief that people, black and white (and all races), can sit at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood. Which is what King believed in. I'm also against racism in any form. Yes, that includes racism against Caucasians and, no, I don't need to hear the bs "minorities can't be racist" line because, globally, white people are the minority. Moving on.  With that out of the way, this is a thread about the good doctor, so let's get some quick bio info.  From Wikipedia: "Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American civil rights activist and Baptist minister ...

  Now that I have that out of my system, HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL OF THE AMAZING PEEPS HERE AT PITG! So we're heading into 2026.  I'm sure some people are hopeful for a brand new year and brand new adventures, memories, successes, and so on and so forth.  Not to mention, the Japanese wrestling circuit is looking forward to Dream Queendom and Wrestle Kingdom events that are kicking off during this time.  You're welcome, Bass.  😆 But I'm also sure there are probably others who are worrying about what the new year holds.  Whether it be civil war, continued invasions, World War III, more tariffs, states sliding into the oceans, or the sky literally falling on our heads. Whatever the case may be, this is the time for celebrating another year on this crazy ass orb (yes, orb, not flat earth) and hoping it turns out better than the last. So what are people hoping for in the new year? What are you dreading?  What do you predict happening?  Talk about all that ...

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Um.......  I mean......   MERRY CHRISTMAS! We're 11 days away from the bestest holiday season of the year (fuck you, Halloween)! The time for peace on earth, good will towards men - and women - holly, mistletoe, Christmas carols (Mariah Carey doesn't count, hot dammit...), sleigh bells, Santa, Frosty, presents, tidings of comfort and joy, the whole damn shebang! There are even yuletide movies for the misfits.  Rudolph is the most obvious, of course, having the island of misfit toys, Hermie the dentist elf, Yukon Cornelius, and Bumble the abominable snowman. But you also have films such as A Christmas Horror Story, Fatman, Red One, and Violent Night, not to mention Nightmare Before Christmas (which was marketing genius because it's a dual holiday flick that capitalizes on and makes bank from both Halloween and Christmas), and many more. That's not even counting the classics such as Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol, A Christmas Story (me...

The PiTG championship and Sex Pest championship are both on the line! Can our current champs - PiTG champ Gungfugilman and Sex Pest champ Bass - retain their straps?  We'll have to wait and see......  1) Darby Allin vs. Gabe Kidd 2) Mixed Nuts Mayhem (sigh) Intergender Match: Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, and Marina Shafir) vs. The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe and Orange Cassidy), Roderick Strong, and "Timeless" Toni Storm 3) Continental Classic Semifinal: Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada 4) Continental Classic Semifinal: Kyle Fletcher vs. Jon Moxley 5) Continental Classic Final for the Continental Championship (pick the winner without knowing who's in the final. Hah!) 6) Chicago Street Fight for the World Tag Team Championship: FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) (c) vs. Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn) 7) Women’s World Tag Team Championship Match: Babes of Wrath (Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale) vs. Mercedes...

 Well, the official holiday season is upon us, as it's now December 1st (as I started writing this; it's now the 2nd. But fuck ya all, it still works).  It's also a time where, generally, people consider it as "wintertime", even though the first day of winter isn't until December 21st. It's time to start thinking forward to thoughts of snow, skiing, sweaters, sitting in front of the fireplace, and mindlessly fighting people in the stores for the newest fad product on the market just in time for Christmas. So how about we start the month out by talking about your favorite things about winter (ugh), December (Christmas, obviously), and anything else about the end of 2025 and what you're looking forward to (or afraid of happening) in 2026?  Oh, and talk about anything else you want, of course. 

 Well, here we are at another Thanksgiving season at the Garden! I'm sure you know the drill by now. I ramble on about turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc etc and also giving thanks for what you have in your life and then tell you to chat about Thanksgiving and anything else you want. Maybe I throw in a bit about Thanksgiving not being such a positive for Native American peoples in the grand scheme of things, but it's evolved past cliche, contradicted images of happy pilgrims and natives sitting around tables full of food into a general sense of giving thanks for family, friends, and life in general.  Hell, I could throw in a few rasslin' related lines about the Gobbledygooker's debut at Survivor Series 1990 just for a few nostalgic laughs. But I guess I'll just go with wishing everybody and theirs a very happy Thanksgiving and hope it's a good one.  Chat about errything Thanksgiving and anything else ya want!   Don't forget to pig out an...
