“We all make mistakes” - Vince McMahon (currently being brought to court for sex trafficking.)

Just because I can be heard on ppv from 2017 drunkenly screaming for his lasers, and routinely think when he wrestles solo he can look great, and that I enjoyed his match with Tanahashi this year, and think DR vs HOT would be hilarious, and is my go to “hear me out” wrestler after a beer????????

Very very late to the party but Ishii and Fletcher for AEWs TNT title was tremendous

Give Fletcher a heavy hitter like Shingo or something for Forbidden Door please and thank you

(It will now be EVIL)

My biggest concern is that a men’s version will be thrown together with the death riders when they’ve got everything ready for a women’s version.

All signs point to the women getting their moment, but, All In looked to be going one way only to go a completely different direction in the end

So yeah, it's my birthday and if I've ever entertained you in the slightest please consider making a donation that will benefit Gaza, or even just boost some posts/help to continue talking about what's happening there x

Works for me!

But more importantly how will he be presented in a painting 🤔🤔🤔

With respect to Buddy Matthews - Brodido is the way forward. AEW have stumbled into a gold mine

The longer AEW is around the longer this will become a mindset.

Delighted to hear this from Willow

No problem! Thanks for the additional info there too 🌟

Always good to have more info on the clear direction so many deny is happening

Big story here but sorry for asking the dumb question - where is this quote from?

For some reason, Fed stans today:

Aaaaand of course RFK Jrs niece was having a tryout.

Eddie Kingston opens up about mental health struggles while watching AEW programming via Cezar Bononi’s YouTube channel

AEW is in a fantastic place and while NJPW English commentary is perfectly serviceable, it’s genuinely more engaging with the native commentary team.

All the angles/promos are always translated on socials almost immediately

AEW, CMLL & Stardom vs Mercedes for the TBS title?

That’s exactly the simple set up for a match I’m looking for.

Picking a paycheck over any moral fibre is a conscious decision. Nodding towards injustices you’re silent against while collecting money from the supporters of,or the abusers themselves, is nothing.

Imagine being in a legal battle with a company and their employees for sex trafficking only for them to televise them inside the presidential office of your country and to bring one of the named abusers on television for storylines.

Absolutely disgusting world we’re living in

Seeing everything roll in news wise, I don’t think I’ve got a right to ever complain about AEW or NJPW again.

Things may never be perfect but I fundamentally couldn’t watch wrestling anymore if they didn’t exist. Abhorrent behaviour from the fed.

Lesnar named in ongoing suit against McMahon Former WWE wrestler and MMA fighter Brock Lesnar has been named in an amended complaint filed by Janel Grant, a former WWE employee who is suing Vince McMahon.

Reminder.
#justiceforjanelgrant

WWE just laughed in the face of every survivor.

This is why women don’t come forward.

At this point, Vince McMahon on tv by Mania.

Disgusting fucking company.

Also the new WWE tactic of talking shit on AEW when they aren’t up against an AEW show is not lost on me.

It’s almost like you can’t talk smack about another company when that company outshines your wrestling that weekend in every conceivable way.

As a fan of NJPW and AEW, the Forbidden Door lineup looks good so far to me.

NJPW are never going to make matches before the end of the G1.
Mercedes will likely have a challenger next week too - but two stacked title matches off the bat is great. Just waiting on a hanger match + CMLL now 🤞

Aleister Black Addresses Narratives About AEW Tenure - Fightful | WWE News, AEW News, Pro Wrestling Backstage News Aleister Black addresses the narratives that popped up during his AEW tenure including him not wanting to be pinned.

"If you really think that I have so much pull in the company that I can say who I’m not going up against or lay down against, you think I’m not going to vouch for myself or put myself in the main events?"

Sure, whatever, Guy on the Losing Team in the Only Escape Rules Cage Match in AEW History.

I’m not the biggest “Push Dustin Rhodes as a singles star in 2025” fan but his transitional TNT title run was perfect and AEW made the right call.

Excellent match and coronation for Kyle Fletcher. Couldn’t ask for more with Dustin and the old theme was icing on the cake.

While not reaching the heights of Texas Death, Hanger x Mox for the AEW men’s World Title last night was stellar and felt like a PPV main event quality match on free tv.

Hard hitting and something you could get invested in from the start. Excellent stuff.

Bucks x Outrunners was fantastic too

Dynamite card looks sick tonight. Feels like they're ending the Chicago residency with a really big show.
