Psst, hey, guess what, you're probably bored at work right now. You know what you could do to pass the time? Check out some of these links from cool-ass people who write stuff about wrestling and junk. Read them, love them, and by god, share their work further, alright? Alright!

The second night of the G1 USA Special was better than the first, and I had your rundown right here. [The Wrestling Blog]

Elliot actually went to the damn thing, and he had his thoughts about the live experience of both nights right here as well. [The Wrestling Blog]

Kyle Kensing also went to the live shows, and he also had some perspective about it, mainly that it was a milestone weekend for wrestling and then some. [The Open Man]

WWE ran a pay-per-view this past weekend, and Ian Williams is not happy that WWE hasn't given the fans its double turn with Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman yet. [VICE Sports]

Ashly Nagrant, meanwhile, has waited two years since the start of Stephanie McMahon's Women's Revolution and is still wondering when the heck it's going to happen. [Deadshirt]

GLOW is still in the forefronts of peoples' minds, and four wrestling fans discuss how entertaining and important the Netflix series is. [Paste Magazine]

Ian Williams also talked to both "The Progressive Liberal" Daniel Richards and his rival Kyle Meggard about their whole deal that has captivated the country. [VICE Sports]

The wrestling world is getting smaller and more uniform, and Dave Walsh has something to say about that. [Cageside Seats]

Brandon Wagemann has all the dirt and analysis on the latest Anarchy Wrestling show, Hostile Environment. [Wrestling With Words]

NON-WRESTLING #1: DC's next planned addition to its television universe is the Titans, and Elle Collins has a dream casting all lined up for you. [SyFy Wire]

NON-WRESTLING #2: Are you confused as to what the word "neoliberal" actually means? SO Jackson has an explainer for you, the first in his series about how bad neoliberalism is. [Medium]

Also, if you're considering giving money to The Wrestling Blog, I advise otherwise as I do this out of love/as a hobby/not for my primary source of income. However, I will ask that you support some other great people who DO write/produce content to get by. This week's honor roll:

Trevor Strunk (No Cartridge/Video Drone)
Jetta Rae (Fry Havoc)
Elle Collins (SyFy Wire)
