This and the surrounding weeks felt like a fever dream i never fujo'd so close to the sun and although I knew it was too good to be true I didn't expect it to be over so soon

hangman watching swerve also have an intense homoerotic blood feud with bandido and burn his western town down: you said i was special :(

The thing is that swerve is beautiful and amazing and he can literally do what he wants and if that includes tearing lovable babyfaces apart and terrorising their families I'm just gonna let him. #aew

Myaew watchers: are all your feeds routinely skipping segments that come after ad breaks/cutting in half way through them? #aew

I always think I must sound like such a grouch for bitching about this but idk the stakes of the story matter to me and it seemed very important that this was hangman making a self destructive choice. I hate the idea that it has actually destroyed him! But I'd still prefer that to a cop out!!

Okay this is now like the 20th time since dynamite ive seen this "what if Darby makes mjf lift hangman's stip" idea and Guys. I'm so tired. He made a promise. It wasn't in the contract mjf has no power to "undo" it. If mjf did undo it and hangman challenged HE WOULD STILL BE GOING BACK ON HIS WORD

I think mjf should have to wager all future world title shots like hangman and lose like hangman and then they can form the world's most miserable loser tag team #aew #neverworldchampsagain

There's something else as well... I wasn't thinking abt this until I heard Trish say it and I trust her to have trustworthy sources, but swerve supposedly didn't want to do a program with mjf. He would be very happy to do one with Darby for the world title surely #aew

Reading reactions to darbys win and seeing a lot of that overjoyed excitement that this guy whos been overlooked for so long, who's been there since day 1 putting his body on the line and finally did the impossible, that he got to do it in his home state... Idk maybe I've been a bit of a prick #aew

Can someone tell me something reassuring regarding the fact that Ticketmaster says my all in ticket is non transferable and can't be resold... Like is that likely to change closer to the time cause man I am not trusting my wrestling fervour to last the summer atp 😭 I made a mistaake #aew

Thank you for being the sami understander 😭

Ooooh dear. Bringing up that it's probably Kenny's last shot at the championship. So (textually) mjfs going to take out hangman and then Kenny omega out of the world title picture permanently? #aew

This hurt my feelings

Losing track of dragongate for a couple months and coming back to dia gone feels like a pit in my stomach. But I'm still glad to finally be watching a live korakuen broadcast again #dragongate

Finding out that max caster and Anthony Bowens just wrapped up their storyline on an indie show because aew gave up on it for no reason despite it being one of the most enjoyable things on the midcard suddenly has me thinking about how much of aew's booking just confuses and annoys me atp #aew

At one point you jokingly suggested taking the potential self esteem impact on contestants into account if *really* stuck. Which unfortunately made me go well hangman has to win it now he's hanging on by a thread. This is all he's got

okay, listener Isabella made us straight up the funniest slideshow we've ever seen. The World According to Tunnel Talk docs.google.com/presentation...

Like do you guys just not want stakes to matter in stories or what

Stoppp suggesting this "if he was legally dead and came back he can challenge again" loophole bullshit STOP! I'm sorry I'm being mean here but that's just a really stupid cop out and I would expect much better from hangman and #aew

Finally scrolling a bit through the aftermath and I'm glad I made the choice to go dark for the hours immediately following and just go out to a cafe and read/clear my head. I feel much more sane and less agitated than I think I would have if I had been online #aew

I lit a candle for you, darling 🙏🌼🕯️ #AEWRevolution

It's so stupid. None of this matters. Even if you care about the storylines, it doesn't matter. And yet it feels like the end of something and the physiological response I'm having feels like grief. I remember something similar at the end of succession, but at least that was the actual end ykwim

The all in presale starts at 10am UK time and the ppv is likely to end at like 5am UK time. I feel like the sort of people who wanna get a good ticket are the same ones who would want to watch live so I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone bitching about this #aew

Mjf *annoying gesture of disrespect* Hangman: so you have chosen death ... That's it, that's the feud

I now feel that of all the possible outcomes, "hangman wins and is a babyface champion" is looking like the least interesting one based on all the things they've been setting up #aew

Tunnel talk and I so rarely differ on opinions especially re homoerotics and character dynamics on aew but I'm shaking my head that they don't see the vision with mjf and hangman..not saying they're soulmates or even a ship, but theres a lot going on there. They understand each other. #aew

(translation of the jingle for a hostess bar I walk past every day that plays on the billboard outside approximately once every minute all day every day, not exaggerating) 🎵 Everyone's cute at the ulti place Everyone's a hottie at the ulti place Hottie ulti Cute ulti Come to ulti Lets go! To ulti

Lots of people giving their ideas for whats gonna happen at revolution w hangman and mjf so I'm going to give my best-combined "what I think is going on" and "what I think *should* be going on" (based on the storytelling this far) #aew

Yall make it seem like I am crazy for the fact i think the men's world title and the women's world title should get equal amount of tv time. We literally had confrontations between HANGMAN and MJF for like 3 dynamites in a row. But Nothing for Thekla and Kris.

Whenever I see aew fans try to smugly clown on WWE about their women's division being bad/sexistly booked and make unfavorable comparisons to aew's I feel incredible second hand embarrassment. I'm done with WWE but even with the little I keep up I know they're lapping aew on women. #aew

I'm sorry what. For the aew women's world fucking championship on the second biggest ppv of the year. This is getting legitimately insulting

It's funny almost nothing changed in this dynamite and yet everything just feels a bit brighter #aew

Part of me thinks what if they just go for it. Hangman loses and doesn't turn heel just has to deal with that decision. Idk it would probably be disastrous for wrestling booking reasons but if anyone could tell a good character story with it it would be hangman yknow #aew

Gay sex wouldn't fix hangman and mjf the way it might for the other horny feuds they've had with other men. However I think they should try it once just to feel even more disgusted with themselves 🧡

Hangman in the new speedvlog switching between dissociating, giving scattered apologies for taking so long to defend the trios belts cause he has "a lot on his mind", and assuring jetspeed he loved the match and the gear and teaming with them - good stuff keep it up fire horse 👍👍 #aew

Had too many ideas during the Swerve/Omega match art wise. This won out. #aew #wrestlesky #swervestrickland #illustration #wrestlingart #allelitewrestling 🤼🤼‍♂️🤼‍♀️

Mjf and hangman both suck at love but while mjf's problem is he won't let anyone close and has successfully driven them away, hangman has SO many people who love him/are obsessed with him he barely has to try. It's just never enough and he self sabotages every time #aew

"your desperation for love, for acceptance... Max, I am no better than that and I hate it." Can we talk about what a devastating piece of character work that is. The thing you hate most in yourself is the thing I hate most in myself and it's that we're desperate for love? Jesus #aew

🐵✋

Wrestling is officially too real for you when you're stressed out over your favourite babyface a) turning heel b) staying face and becoming champ when ppl have gone off him and might turn on him because the "hangman experiment is over" or c) staying face and leaving the world title scene forever

Hangman you sick son of a bitch.

Wrestling is officially too real for you when you're stressed out over your favourite babyface turning heel again because he made you Believe for one beautiful summer

it’s not acknowledged enough. MJF vs Hangman is a feud that has been active since the start of #AEW. They’ve established Hangman as the main protagonist & MJF as the main antagonist. These men are foils for each other. The main event of #AEWRevolution is years in the making.

Listening to @tunneltalkpod.bsky.social with the full gang just feels right feels like coming home 😭 and it's best bods of aew season C2 style!! Everything's coming up Milhouse

Also mjf is very unlikely to lose the title at his first ppv defence. They've been telling a clear story about him being a stronger, less cheating-dependent champ, in fact inspired (even if through spite) by hangman to be that way. Idk maybe it is predictable but it's not uninteresting to me #aew

I'm genuinely baffled by how unmoved so many people are by hangman and mjf to me they're such a good storytelling pair #aew

BRO CALLED IT

Maybe the most humiliating part of liking pro wrestling is you end up kind of caring about cable TV ratings I know anything at all about recent changes at Nielsen, and that is so much more than I should know

Kenny being a PROUD homewrecker was not the direction I expected somehow but it's delightfully messy. He really said yeah sorry your boy couldn't help being attracted to my godly majesty like a moth to a flame leaving your house empty. Like that's my fault. #aew
