James Writes Wrestling

Saw #superman with my partner and friends. For my sins, I've never seen the Donner films. I'd choose at least 5 other superhero comics ahead of a Superman. This film was it incredible and James Gunn is one of the few directors who make comic movies with ❤️🤣 and a fans' understanding of the genre.

Finished editing a heavy article on if disgraced wrestlers can be redeemed. I need to do something fun next between this and novel editing so I'm going to write about these three handsome devils are the greatest faction to never appear on mainstream wrestling TV #wrestlesky🤼

Monet seems like the obvious one. If they really wanted to emphasise France, what about The Rue Montorgueil?

The washing machine decided to stop working... I got rid of the frustration by clearing the front garden and treating us to a Theatre voucher, a gift from a former student. So, we got tickets to see a drag theatre show in October. I'm a simple guy with simple coping mechanisms. 🎭

AEW Dynamite Preview (8/13/25) - Adam Page and MJF Meet This week, AEW Dynamite promises a big development in the AEW Men’s World Championship picture. Here is the preview for this week.

Went away for one week and I missed an attempted hit and run, another Don Callis Fanily painting that made me question what is fine art and The Young Bucks losing. Can't wait for #AEW Dynamite this week as I geniuly think Big Stoke might steal the show 🤼‍♂️

Wrestling With Outrage Part 1: A History of Cancelling In recent months, several wrestling controversial figures have re-emerged in prominent positions on TV but it dates back.

Will do. I did the same a fortnight ago my last Mone article. This one is somewhat a follow up to a series I did earlier this year
looking at outrage in wrestling. Here's a link to the 1st if its of interest lastwordonsports.com/prowrestling...

Definetly. I haven't forgiven Billy for kicking out of the coffin drop at 2!

I get the kayfabe point. Although I personally always feel like Billy Gunn is somewhat a glory hog given he did abandon his real sons to ride the gravy train with the Acclaimed and then Bowens. It honestly feels like Billy Gunn politically and jn kayfabe Gunn refuses to look weak

Thanks, Sammy was on my list to research to see if he has beyond an apology at the time has taken steps to change. Or instead is it just something that's happened because time has ticked on and he is happily married with a baby girl.

The only other one I could think of besides Briscoe. Thanks 😀

HBK is an interesting one because depending on who you ask, I.e. Shane helms, Helms suggested it was an act but that in itself fits with a key point I raise. Thanks :)

Really good points. I've definetly been looking too closely at the present rather than historic. Great input :)

Hi #wrestlesky, I am back off holiday and writing an article questioning if a wrestler can redeem themselves after making a moral transgression. I'm trying to think/find other examples of wrestlers who, like Jay Briscoe, messed up and took steps to put things right. Any suggestions? 🤼‍♂️

It's funny that the WWE graphic I've seen for their Clash in Paris show seem inspired and reflective of Van Gogh's Stary Night painting... 🌠

Nothing saw France and Paris to me like Dutch post-impressionist art. #wrestlesky🤼

I didn't see your thread but I imagine those fools missed or ignored (selectively) that Jay actually meaningful tried to put things right, apologised, owned it, acknowledged it and lived with the consequences rather than pretend he did nothing wrong

Also a picture you can hear!

If you see this post a random wrestling picture 🤼‍♂️

What a lovely view when you are sat down with your takeaway chips and nuggies

Can't help but think about early #AEW with Hangman's name plates and all the running jokes and commentary. I hope this continues and as The Bucks become babyfaces again we get some mirroring with the name plates to Page as part of their redemption before the band gets back together.

Best response to misinformation!

Panel 1: Liz Lemon - "What a week, huh?" Panel 2: Jack Donaghy - "Lemon, it's Wednesday." Panel 3: Excalibur- "AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!"

Mercedes Moné: Belt Collector, Politics and Hate in AEW Mercedes Mone is the "belt collector," and of course, that comes with a lot of responsibilities. Let's discuss the AEW star.

Tonight's #AEWDynamite will determine one of Mercedes Mone's three Forbidden Door opponents. As the belt collector reign continues, some detractors argue about politics of the reign, missing the point. Here's how ##wrestlesky🤼‍♂️

I love watching #Shakespeare in different environments. 1st time I've seen the Bard performed at the mouth of a bay. Plus it was so close to the campsite I grabbed some bbq during the intermission. What a memory this will be!

Wrestling With Outrage Part 2: Limits of Fan Pressure On part two of the wrestling with outrage, we talk about the pressures that the paying public brings performers.

In February I wrote a series of articles breaking down the myths of 'cancelling' in wrestling and the realities of wrestlers being exiled. The intent was to analyse history and trends. #WWE, #AEW #TNA, the industry has a problem and we as fans longterm need to act on outrage to change things 🤼‍♂️

Double-Think: WWE, R-Truth and George Orwell WWE's R-Truth saga blurs kayfabe and reality, raising questions about fan manipulation, storytelling, and the Orwellian control in wrestling.

WWE has a history of rewriting... history. Changing narratives and some fans happily just play into the kayfabe despite what's reported elsewhere. Despite what they see or the company did/say before. It's Orwellian Double Think and it's not new #wrestlesky🤼‍♂️
