My birthday was last week and I got a few things. I'm gonna be busy during the next couple of weeks.

Statlander winning the belt was honestly the last thing I expected from that match.

She's been with the company since day 1 and she's definitely put the work in. I'm happy for her and I know a lot of people have been asking for this for a long time.

You're doing the Lord's work. Thanks!

Thanks for these posts. I was hesitant to buy it on Max because no one really knew how the stream was gonna be. I'm gonna start using Max from now on. I used Amazon this time, but I still gotta wait until tomorrow to watch it lol.

Do you know if you can watch replays of All Out on HBO Max?

TK is gonna be counter-programming Mania in 2027. I'm calling it.

Watch him counter-program Mania in 2027.

100%

I only post here every so often, but I know that when I do, I can always count on people to not jump down my throat.

I have to wait til tomorrow to watch the show, but I'm refreshing BlueSky so I'm not out of the loop (spoilers don't bother me). I want Toni to win so badly, but I have a feeling that's not the case. I'd be fine with Jamie winning, but I think they're putting the belt on Thekla.

Takeshita is a future world champion. Either in NJPW or AEW. He's so gifted athletically and everything he does looks good.

has this whole country been gaslit? go watch the video and ingore the performative outrage- Jimmy Kimmel didn't say anything about Charlie Kirk, derogatory or otherwise

He said MAGA is cynically exploiting his death for political purposes, which is plainly obvious

for goodness sake, people

I'm glad this is the case. I held off buying it on Max just to see how it would do. It's great that there are no issues. I'll buy PPVs on Max from now on.

I have to wait until tomorrow to watch the show, but I'm already hyped. TPB is on my top 5 favorite TV shows list. I always wondered if The Green Bastard would ever appear on a big wrestling promotion's show someday.

A Trailer Park Boys crossover with AEW was not in my bingo card for 2025.

Big Bill's story is a good one. I'm glad he's in a better place these days and he seems to be happy in AEW.

Hulu and Disney plus are now offering 70% off subscriptions, and in response I am offering Hulu and Disney plus 70% off deez nuts.

People were and are still invested in Hangman. The last two years have been a rollercoaster for Hangman fans. The big payoff for the last two years was Hangman winning the belt. If you're just gonna put it on Fletcher why not have Hangman lose to Mox, and have Fletcher beat Mox?

Makes no sense.

They hired two dudes who are apparently hard to work with. What did they expect? Did they expect them to go the Punk route and become completely submissive to whatever WWE wants to do? Not every new signee is cut from the same cloth, even if they came from the same place.

I feel for the guy, but damn, at what point do you say "Fuck you" to a former employer who FIRED you?

He also shouldn't admit it bothered him.

his enthusiasm is endearing and I wish I could enjoy *anything* as much as he enjoys talking about mid south tapes.

AEW All Out day. All that matters to me is the return of the realest and most authentic guy to ever step foot in the squared circle. The one, the only, Eddie Kingston.

The world is cold, better bundle up.

I think TK moving the show up a few hours was the right call. WWE wants to counter-program? Cool, just start the show several hours before Wrestlepalooza even starts. I don't think anyone is gonna turn off All Out to see Lesnar/Cena again. Even if they do, they already paid for the PPV.

*Rick Knox. Damn, how did I mess that up?

When I watched this live, it looked like Mox was cussing out Rock Knox as the match concluded. Did anyone else notice this?

I was watching it with a friend and when Christian hit him with the mic, we both said "Oh shit, he got him good."

Then we saw the blood. His nose has to be broken. You could see Christian look a little upset before the went to the next segment. Shit just happens in wrestling sometimes.

That's the most passive aggressive subscription cancellation screen I've ever seen.

That's kind of why I've pretty much stopped playing video games. That, and I'm too broke to upgrade my 10 year old PC. I have a PS5, but I've found that I can't play most games without a keyboard and mouse. I absolutely suck at aiming with a controller after years of nothing but PC gaming

Really? That's awesome! I'm not much on playing with other people whether it's PvE or PvP, so I've never been huge on Borderlands. I've just seen the fallout of Borderlands 4's release and the consensus is that unless you're playing on consoles or a super high end PC, the game doesn't run well.

I think that's less of a sign that people are changing and more of a sign that people just aren't playing Borderlands 4. I know a lot of people who play video games (myself included) who have no interest in Borderlands 4. I think it was Gearbox's last chance to win gamers over, and they failed.

While I think Fletcher is definitely in line for a world title run, having this huge story with Hangman overcoming his demons for the last two years so he can win the belt back only to take it off of him a few months later would be really shitty.

I like Fletcher, but now isn't his time.

Tony Khan has been my connect for pure uncut wrestling for over 6 years now. He sprinkles in some sports entertainment for flair, but it doesn't take away from the high.

If it wasn't for AEW, I'd probably still be watching NJPW exclusively after being turned off by WWE in 2017.

Thanks TK!
