Hangman vs. MJF just feels appropriate given their places in the history of AEW and their roles as foundational pieces. #AEW #ForbiddenDoor

The Johnny Saint/Nigel video is *chef's kiss.*

Extraordinary.

Would you look at thatโ€ฆthe veins in his legs donโ€™t work just in time for the Epstein backlash.

I feel like weโ€™ve seen this playbook before.

If the right-wing idiots are this stunned about Superman, wait until they realize what X-Men is about.

The "how it's always been" crowd not understanding that Superman is, has been, and always will be an immigrant at the core of his story is hilarious.

Then again, they're the least self-ware dipshits on the planet so it's not particularly surprising.

Imagine being a movie director in 1998 and trying to convince us that Rachael Leigh Cook is the ugly duckling in high school.

25 people died in catastrophic flooding in Texas and president is dancing in DC, looking like a beached Goldfish cracker.

Hangman is the heart and soul of AEW.

How apropos would it be for him to win the Owen Hart tournament when it was the late superstar's brother, Bret, who shared the ring with Page at the inaugural #AEWDoN back in 2019?

As someone who has to be up at 4:30 in the morning for the day gig tomorrow, I, for one, am overly enthused that this trios match is on the card. #AEWDoN

The best possible finish for this match and, like all things AEW over the last eight months, the Death Riders ruined it.

Nothing has come close to touchding Mercedes-Hayter yet, but this has been a fun show to this point. #AEWDoN

After eating knees with the SSP earlier in the match, you would have thought Bailey would have taken less time to set up the finish. Alas, he did not and totally earned that dropkick and Rainmaker as a result. #AEWDoN

The E missed out by not just letting Ricochet be a douchebag. #AEWDoN

Went to Fan Expo Philly tonight and grabbed this blast from the past!

He already looked hella confused when Rollins was explaining part of his plan. And we know his math is, at the very least, questionable. You might just get what you want!

Imagine telling the ghost of Pete Rose that he can't be in the Hall of Fame but the president can accept a $400 mil jet from foreign nations.

Terry Brunk, a professional wrestler known to fans as Sabu who pioneered the so-called hardcore style that made use of props like tables and chairs in the ring, has died, the WWE said. He was 60. Read more: nyti.ms/4dchDqJ

Tonight is the last time John Cena vs. Randy Orton headlines a WWE PLE. A decade later than we thought. Enjoy these legends doing the dance one more time. #WWEBacklash

Gotta catch up on Dynamite but if youโ€™re a horror fan, particularly slashers, go see Clown in a Cornfield this weekend. A total blast.

Also, just going to say it. If she leaves...she leaves. Weird to see some folks talking about how having two companies is better for everyone because talent can move around, get paid, pursue opportunities, etc., and then getting upset when talent do exactly that.

I hope that's not the case. He stood out big time last week and has had a hell of a rough last year.

Davis looks like a midwestern territory wrestler circa the 1970s, which is not a thing. A throwback. A stocky badass who can work.

He should have been allowed to build on last week's performance instead of being beaten in relatively short order. #AEWDynamite

Gonna need the "Thunder Tits" T-shirt. Thanks in advance, Shop AEW.
