Friday night in Digbeth

Back from Kamikaze Pro and Man Like Dereiss vs TK Cooper rocked but who's gonna tell @awfullywaffly.bsky.social that TK's arm was in a sling afterwards when selling the gimmicks afterwards

I have three avenues out of Wolverhampton today lol

My latest Substack about the history of Flair/Thesz open.substack.com/pub/edgeone3...

We caught up I'm going to make an EVE fan out of you @awfullywaffly.bsky.social

At Rev Pro front row and I can see @awfullywaffly.bsky.social round the corner and I'm wondering if she recognises me from Wolverhampton and us making peace

The greatest trilogy of all time? The answer is yes and I tell you why

I watched Unreal so you guys didn't have to

The first episode of Joshi'ing around WEEKLY is out! Eric and I will discuss the biggest shows and the best matches in the world of Joshi on a weekly basis! We Discuss STARDOM to the World, TJPW, Marigold, Sendai Girls and much more. Please check it out! open.spotify.com/episode/24Fg...

Wow! Can someone edit @trishsp.bsky.social's "get up and do it again" monologue from the latest @trishandsarahpod.bsky.social episode over a Hangman Page montage? It would be the absolute best. open.spotify.com/episode/3QZj...

@awfullywaffly.bsky.social You know what this means?

We should probably be talking more about how WWE effectively bought a massive amount of positive media coverage by taking a lower money deal with ESPN in exchange for the treatment that ESPN gives its content partners.

Having the ability to read this before it went live, I can say this is probably the only article on Hogan I will ever read, but it is a very thorough look at his career and the terrible things that shaped the lasting impressions people had of him as a person. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece.

As well as the Hogan obit, I reviewed Summer Sizzler and hopefully I didn't upset anyone this time.

On the way back from a 12 hr shift all tired and ready to crash when back home, I find out about Hulk's death and after a group chat discussion, I'm starting an obit that night. I'm going to piss people off with this but I also hope people can read this and understand what a bellend Hulk Hogan was.

Time to cancel Fightful Select. Sorry, Sean. This is absolutely not your fault, but I can't give a cent to this guy anymore.

just watched a video in which mjf admitted that hangman and swerve make the female demo go up, but not before saying he does too, and that women want to have sex with him. he also mentioned will ospreay. so hmmm it seems max knows more than 40 yr old podcast men about who is a draw

Having been at the two Rev Pro Mercedes has worked, it's obvious how much the women's scene in Britain is going to benefit from Mone. She made Kanji look great in Doncaster and she brought a lot of eyes on Safire Reed, who has IT. Trust me on that one and Mone can only help others going forward

God I'm exhausted after that Safire Reed is the real deal. The future is radioactive

Mercedes was in the main event of Wrestlemania and fucking Star Wars. She doesn't need to wrestle in Wolverhampton on a Friday night. She WANTS to. To raise up women like Safire who slog with grit and passion for small crowds. She wants them to be a big deal too. Slander will not be heard. 🤼

There was a time where a legend in wrestling would show up and the cocky heel would beat up the old legend and get a ton of heat out of it. Now legends show up with the purpose of getting themselves over--which isn't surprising given who is running the company.

I have heat with a British Wrestling podcaster I guess lol

I have reviews of Pro Wrestling EVE's fetch Mean Grrrls show with some personal experiences from my evening in Walthamstow and I also check in with some Rev Pro in Coventry

After a weekend where women's wrestling was a major talking point, I looked at a quartet of matches where some female revolutionaries set the stage for the current generation.

An absolute beast of a feature from Emi I'm very confident in saying that Emi is the best young writer in wrestling media today

If you're watching #AEWAllInTexas and wanna see the Alex Windsor vs Syuri match from EVE last month that Excalibur spoke of on commentary, you can do so for free on YouTube youtu.be/NUgXE8pOxVU?si…#wrestleskyk#AEWEW 🤼‍♀️🤼‍♂️

Before we see installment 5, here is some numbers about Omega/Okada I-IV

I wonder if Cost Co dad is like my dad and wishes Ishii was his son instead of his actual son

This fortnight I talk about a match in a stadium in Texas, a Bull Nakano match (I wrote this before she pulled out of Starrcast), a match from the Great American Bash and a G1 match that you can watch on YouTube without fears of NATO getting involved. www.socialsuplex.com/retro-7/

anyway,,,

CM Punk taking a beginners course in Arabic starting today

This is the best publication on pro wrestling around today So proud to be part of the group of writers putting this together

The thing, the original CM Punk tweet that is being referenced regarding the Punk going to Saudi Arabia is full of homophobia

Oh go away

I think I cursed these two when it came to the Owen

Here's Emi's piece www.socialsuplex.com/features-4/

Issue 4 of the Social Suplex is out. So much great stuff. Especially @emilianartb.bsky.social piece on Hangman. As for me, I look at match where the blade was run. I look at one of the important matches in wrestling history, Aja Kong being Aja Kong and a Sabu match www.socialsuplex.com/retro-4/

I talk about Mercedes Mone's week in which she had two great matches and showed progress in her friendship with Harley
