Philly sports, AEW, and great cinema. Also, sarcasm. Jawning in moderation.

Always laugh at the "unofficial" qualifier. It's like, many of the games survived through video, especially in the 70s.

If it's Shane, do you think he's been waterboarded by his own sweat by now?

I really wish Tony Khan would schedule March 25 in St. Paul as a Fight for the Fallen.

Doesn't have to be directly for an immigrant rights group (although prior FOTFs have helped gun violence and domestic/sexual violence groups). Let it benefit a local food pantry or something. People will get it.

Shoulda wrestled Steve instead of Scott. Just like running Hogan/Flair when the WWF dropped the ball, WCW could lay claim to delivering Max Moon vs Lance Cassidy.

"Denver's hottest new club is Mile High Madness. Cobbled together by a bespectacled Jaguars executive, it's got a fake luchador in a wheelchair. One hit of Spanish Fly. Baltimora's "Tarzan Boy" on loop. Assault with a vacuum cleaner. Multiple broken tables. Toa Liona." #aewdynamite #wrestlesky

"Dental plan!"

"Fuck ICE too!"

"Dental plan!"

"Fuck ICE too!"

Just as evergreen.

Why point at the sign when you can point at Bandido? #aewdynamite #wrestlesky

If crowds can chant "Fuck ICE" in the "Golllld-berrrrg" cadence, do you think Brody would get the Goldberg pyro? #aewdynamite #wrestlesky

Lena Kross is still working her way up the Megabad headgear rewards system, so she begins with a hair scrunchie. #aewdynamite #wrestlesky

Wouldn't mind the Brawlin' Birds doing a couple AbFab-style bits, if they ever expand BTE to the rest of the roster again. #aewdynamite #wrestlesky

Hangman, Speedball, Knight, Brody, and Bandido are 2026's Dudes with Attitudes. Not sure which one's JYD. #aewdynamite #wrestlesky

When Moxley is conflicted about anything, Gabe Kidd appears over one shoulder and 2016 Dean Ambrose appears over the other. #aewdynamite #wrestlesky

In 2026, wrestling Jon Moxley on Dynamite is like doing stand-up on Carson's Tonight Show: it's a chance for non-headliners to get "made". #aewdynamite #wrestlesky

Why not? Likely many of the people complaining give WWE second, third, millionth, etc, chances after all of their horrible transgressions.

I wonder if we got @brianzane.bsky.social to, like, 5000 followers, if he'd start posting here again.

The Joe Buck hate is so forced these days. It's like when your parents start using emojis.

Imagine Owen having a AEW Sting-like run, where his "party matches" alongside a younger partner made use of his known penchant for ribs. Mixing in in-match pranks on heel opponents with his now-famed enzuigiri and Sharpshooter.

I could see 2K Owen being like early-TNA Jarrett, where he settled more into the "ring general" role that emphasized his opponent's strengths. Would've been less high-impact, but his crowd work and selling would've still produced great matches.

I think his knees were a bit worn by 1993, but it didn't detract from his work any. He became slightly more grounded, and more judicious with the bumps he took, but his psychology (especially after turning heel) was top-shelf. Paced himself better, in other words.

WWE is more than just a pair of 2 or 3-hour shows to them. It’s their social profile, what they chat about many other hours of the day. Giving up WWE isn’t just ceasing to watch a TV show. It’s finding something else to talk about during the day.

I should also add, since it's been a year-plus since the election and Elon's gesture, and with WWE's associations with pure scum being made highly explicit, anybody who engages with either gets (at extreme minimum) some side-eye from me.

Twitter and WWE are no different: both condescendingly and dishonestly appeal to bottom-rung intellects and hateful types. And yet many of those critical of both entities still engage with them, because it’s what theyβ€˜ve consumed for years, and change is just so gosh darn difficult.

I prefer bluesky to X for a few reasons. As a human, bluesky doesn't create nonconsenual porn & isn't owned by a Nazi. As a pro wrestling fan, I no longer get death threats in DMs or homophobic insults in my replies from WWE trolls. Would I like more people here? Yes. Will I ever go back to X? No.

People who demand change being unable to change themselves explains a lot about the root issues in our world.
