A rundown of some of the interesting tidbits about his experience that year:
โข Hungary 2007. Enough said.
โข Mentions that Hamilton knew Alonso would get the brunt from the media, so he โdelivered an Oscar-worthy performanceโ in the press conference and recognized exactly how to take advantage of Alonsoโs meltdown.
โข Said that Hamiltonโs platitudes towards the team were almost met with distrust, because they didnโt know if it was out of sincerity or trying to win the team over. They felt like they were being used to wind up Alonso and his (rapidly diminishing) side of the team.
โข Said the fallout and the two driversโ behavior was like watching two children.
The more I hear about it, the more it seems like there wasnโt a bad guy and both acted in ways that werenโt exactly moral. Iโd love a documentary about this season, I still think we havenโt got the full story yet.
I have wondered if the FSSP is cultish just like the SSPX. Are the traditional Catholic communities in the FSSP just as toxic as the traditional Catholic communities in the SSPX?
I randomly started reading about carbonated water this morning, and came across the work that Joseph Priestly did in creating it back in 1767. A few short years later, Torben Bergman streamlined the process in creating carbonated water. What's perplexing to me is, both men utilized sulphuric acid, and chalk to achieve carbonation. Did the two of them know each other or correspond with each other?
>It was the right opportunity and the right timing for me. There were so many other things that I wanted to do first and I didn't want to be in the position where I would make such big jump in my career and wish I could've done things before coming here. I wanted to do everything that I wanted to do, then come to this part in my life.

>During the pandemic, there was a small window. Obviously, I got cut from AEW because my visa expired and there was no hope for a new via happening at that time. There was a tiny window in August where people who had Japan visas could go back, so I went back to Japan. I loved STARDOM so much, but this time I think I was the only foreigner there where before, I had a group of friends with me. I love the roster, but I did feel very isolated and I started to feel stagnant with my role and feeling like there was only so much more I could do with this company before I stay in my same position. I hate being stagnant and I wanted to be like, 'I need to do something for me now.'

>This is when we got in touch with WWE and we were chatting. I almost wanted a bit of time at home as well to have a bit of a rest, but I love NXT UK so much and it's definitely where I want to be right now.

>NXT UK reached out to me when they were first making the roster in 2018 but it was the day after I signed my World of Sport contract. They reached out again the beginning of 2019 and I spoke to Canyon Ceman. I was going to sign, but I wanted to do more in Japan and I said that to Canyon. He said, 'Okay, cool, we'll keep in touch and call you back in six months.' Literally, two days later, AEW got in contact with me and offered me the schedule where I could live in Japan but still work for them and have best of both worlds. At that point, it was great for me. This time around, I reached out to Jim Smallman, who I know from PROGRESS, and he put in connection and I had a call with Canyon again. We got the wheels moving this time. It wasn't that I didn't want to go at those (past) points, it was just the timing and my situation that fit the best.
From latest observer
This is from his Daily update free on WON
โThe biggest news from the show is that after losing, Priestley said that this was her last match in Stardom. When she didn't sign a new contract with New Japan, she also didn't sign a new deal here and she made this decision some time back. She is leaving Japan. The only thing I can say is that she's not going to AEW and the rest would be the same conclusion everyone else would come up with, which is the place she's not allowed to say if she's going there and thus she's said nothing. This was kept quiet because if it had been said ahead of time it would have given away the result of the match. People are raving about this as the best women's match this year and that the top three matches are all great. Syuri challenged Hayashishita for the titleโ
