Mr. Pow

And there's evidence to suggest many bailed on TKO because of it. I mean, how many AEW fans had this experience? Plenty is my guess #aew

Common tactic of the right, this time used by Bischoff is that public support of the left = "go woke, go broke" by potentially splitting the audience. To my knowledge he didn't have this concern when UFC, WWE, the Paul bros etc publicly support the right. Wonder why? #aew

AEW: Knifey Spoony is here! #aewcollision

AEW is awesome! Happy Valentine's Day!

Also, Fuck ICE and fuck Bischoff too 😋 #aew

Oh and a new God of War. Just need Brody to win the title and all is right with the world 😁 #ps5 #aew

Had to come to AEW chat for some positivity after looking at the Playstation live chat on YouTube during state of play. I'm a lifelong gamer and by god, wrestling discourse has nothing on that level of misery....

New Castlevania though! Hell yeah!

Watching the episode of The Simpsons where Sideshow Bob runs for mayor and wins as a republican. We're living in a timeline where the cartoon villain would be the less evil option. #simpsons

Been sad to see a bit of the 'I'm a better lefty' and talking down creeping into the AEW chat. Can we just not? The fanbase doesn't have to fit into a narrow minded view of what counts and what doesn't to be decent. This is Bluesky, not fuckin' Mumsnet.

How can you block someone who knows even more than Bryan Danielson about in-ring psychology?!

Haha but seriously, there's no talking to people like this that'll cure their stupid.

Wait, what did Becky Lynch say about Chihuahuas?! Grrrrrrr. This boy is a saint. AEW is for everyone. Even Chihuahuas. #aew

Oooft very well said. I dunno what to suggest to people who are triggered by progressive signs and chants at an AEW show. Other than maybe change the channel and take a look at yourself in the mirror 😅

Absolutely. For me personally, being in the UK and saying something or supporting anti-ICE isn't really controversial or at much risk of consequence. Which is why I wholeheartedly admire those who have risked so much to be decent. It's not much of a reach to support that within entertainment imo.

I also get a laugh out of that question since the answer is probably whenever Tom Morello learned guitar. It's a good comparison because I've been watching wrestling since the 80s and can't think of a time there wasn't a political tone. Without a basis in reality no one would be invested in it.

Natasha Lyonne* that's what I get for not spell checking a rant 😅

So yeah, nothing would make me a happier viewer than Brody winning the title, picking up the mic, saying "fuck ICE", dropping the mic and his music hitting. Any so called "fan" who quits over that would not be missed #aew

The NBA and several players made statements about the shootings in Minneapolis. Musicians like, Springsteen, Bad Bunny and Billie Ellish made anti-ICE statements. Natalie Portman and Natasha Llonne wore anti-ICE pins at a movie festival. But no no, bad AEW.

Fuck. Right. Off.

Seeing a few screenshots of posts arguing that AEW shouldn't be political. Why should wrestling exist in a bubble when Hollywood, Sports, Gaming and Music industries all have a political element? It's just the way things are.

I'm begging for the team of Skyflight to be renamed. Each time I see the name I think "Skyflight, as opposed to where exactly, Space?". Either change the name or invent a plane that can fly a few feet off the ground. TK has the means to do both. #aew

Seeing last night's Anti-ICE chants and the reaction here is so heartwarming. Reminded me of a line in Mox's book that his dad used when times were tough and you feel helpless. "Remember, we're the good guys" 💙 #aew

That's nothing new. They've been doing it for a few years now and AEW has been fine.

Wait.....the ACTUAL Muppets?! Damn.

No one was treated more inhumanely than Rey Fenix at the weekend. Considering where it took place, that's really saying something.

Not long until Dynamite!! Eeeeeeeeeeee #aew

Oh good, my cats are done.

Wonder how many jaded fans who endured the Royal Fumble will check out AEW Dynamite this week 🤔 it is the only known cure for Hunter's Ruthless Depression Era. #aew #aewdynamite

I echo the sentiments here about AEW never going to SA but to be honest, I'd be just as upset if Hangman sang Happy Birthday at a rally for the King of the US and his troops.

Thank fuck for AEW.

To be fair, the guy tells us he's a clown before saying anything.

"I'm tired of cool badass wrestlers. Give me more like The Miz!" - No c*nt ever.

To anyone dissing the Fed for dressing their top guy in the American flag and sucking up to Trump this 'Mania season, I say why not? It worked in 1988 and 1989 and by god nothing has changed. Their fans eat that shit up.

....what? Moral reasons? Pfffft.

Or, just watch AEW.

Best. Funeral. Ever. 🤣

Someone should tell Cody it's not quite 'Mania season yet. No need to start bringing up AEW again for a month or two. Also, a fully gimmicked funeral is an idea worth stealing. I want Repo Man to attach a hook to my coffin and drag it away to a chorus of boos.

Oh and Ciampa! Yas! #aew

Accidentally clicked into a Cornette Reddit forum and my god is it miserable. Like, 100 Comic Book Guys who feel better about their hobby by showing constant distain for it. Anyway, back to Bluesky where people enjoy things 😀 #aew
