swerve being evil & actually dangerous is literally the best mode for him

heels/tweeners can be interesting without redemption arcs. i think people are so used to villains getting them/being woobified that they have failed to remember this. basically my thoughts still stand

i'm just not sure how it's all that interesting, but that's just *me*

tonight we'll see what max's stip is + what's precisely gonna happen here. personally, my thoughts haven't changed at all about this whole thing. regardless of what's decided, hangman should probably lose & be away from the main title scene for a while tbh

Student who punched another student holding pro-ICE sign at Lake Zurich High School received 2-day suspension No criminal charges were filed, but the student who punched another student for holding a pro-ICE sign at Lake Zurich High School last week received a two-day suspension and is back in class.

Things are not getting better. They are getting worse and worse. We need to cover:

Rent $1,844.88

Car $577.77

Electric $207

And now the car needs a battery and alternator work. We are still struggling with food and I have two doctor appts this week at $34 copay each.

Please help πŸ’› Thank you

this type of thinking is hard to fathom but the thing you have to remember is that these people want to be martyrs more than they want to have alive children

2 things can be true at once with it being shortsighted + also desperate

this feud feels like we're reheating the same plate of leftovers for the millionth time. people are free to say i'm wrong, but *shrug*

honestly? hangman's stip isn't just foolish, it's desperate in a way that makes 0 sense. & if he loses, i'll be surprised if people don't crash out in the most severe way

You know...

I wouldn't know Hobbs is on Main Event or what'shername is competing for the Speed title if it weren't for AEW FANS WHO CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. THEY ARE WWE WRESTLERS, NOW.

Those people left. You don't have to worry about them any more. If they waste their time, that's on them
