Jon Moxley is over here doing some of the best character work of his career - and paying it off. Real vulnerability seeping through the growing number of cracks in his armour. A lot of people take this man for granted, still.

Can't lie, I'm more excited about these than any of yer WarGames and Blood and Guts matches.

Remain steadfast. youtu.be/EdKCwCtpx10?...

Just finished this sucker. Thoughts on @whatculturewwe.bsky.social soon.

48 hours removed from WrestleDream, my one big take has nothing to do with show length of violence or any of that jazz. It's that Sting has never looked cooler than in his 2025 Gandalf era.

Kyle Fletcher vs. Mark Briscoe was EXCELLENT. A pairing I can always rely on.

Tailgate Brawl is a great concept. A pre-show is supposed to inspire last-minute buys. I can't think of a better way to do that than with FTR vs. JetSpeed: one of the most foolproof match-ups in AEW.

Hello! Haven't signed in here in ages. Enjoy me and Adam shooting hard on Ticketmaster.

SCARAB, the hardcore band.

If further proof was needed that X/Twitter was a terrorist entity, it has been feeding me nonstop SLEEP TOKEN content for about three months. 🤮

2025 has been a fantastic year for WhatCulture Wrestling so far. Shout-outs to our whole team and everyone who supports us. Wrestling is so silly and it's a pleasure to be able to talk about it for a living.

Diablo 4 rocks. Everyone who told me it did not rock sucks.

I gave the new Spiritbox a spin, trying to be less of a washed, out-of-touch old head. Not my cup of tea but Soft Spine is pretty hard. Fair play.

I've been very impressed with Ricochet's willingness to make himself look like the least cool guy in the room since turning. He's willing to look like a total jackass, leaning into his natural awkwardness. It's making for some good fiction. Cool Guy Efed Heels are overdone.

Monthly plug! Training is going well. I am hyper focused on making the most of this and raising as much as possible, to help people in my Dad's situation and support potentially life-changing heart research. If you can spare anything, I appreciate you. www.justgiving.com/page/andyhmu...

On what would've been my Dad's 74th birthday, I wanted to share some words on Hirooki Goto vs. ZSJ, connection, & reclaiming the things grief takes from you. This match was an incredibly personal experience for me & has actually helped me process a lot of things. Link below 👇

I wish NJPW/TV Asahi weren't so gung-ho with copyright strikes. I'd love to make a video essay on how encouraged I am by the current product, the young core's growth, the catharsis of Goto's win, the return of Caveman Style. Let me talk about your wrestling shows!

I will not rest until every AEW match takes place in this exact ring.

I'm feeling *great* about AEW at the moment. TV has been consistently strong for weeks and Grand Slam Australia hit with me. Revolution looks like it's going to have an out-of-this-world lineup. Tony Khan is back in the weeds doing what he does best. Keep it going!

I felt inspired, so I put down some thoughts on AEW Grand Slam Australia, focusing more on booking implications and match breakdowns. Thoughts on Harley Cameron's push, Kyle Fletcher's development, Tony "in the weeds", and more. thehstandsfor.substack.com/p/grand-slam... A very good show.

I know the results but I cannot WAIT to get home and watch Goto vs. ZSJ in full. The power of a feel-good story.

It is impossible to listen to Hatebreed and feel bad. Low-key the most uplifting band of all time. *hits ▶️ on Perseverance again*

Thank you so much to anyone who has donated, shared, or offered words of support. I didn't envision having to triple the target in just four days due to your generosity and I am beyond grateful. It's a fantastic cause and your support is driving me to do this. 🙏

Hello friends. After losing my Dad to a heart attack last year, I am running a half-marathon raising funds for the British Heart Foundation in Sept. 2024 sucked, so let's make something positive. If you've got anything to spare, I'd be very grateful. www.justgiving.com/page/andyhmu... Thank you!

As a fan of the professional wrestler CM Punk I would like his next World Wrestling Entertainment feud to be about more than just "you left this place 10 years ago and I stayed!!!!!!" please.

I still can't believe we lived through the perfect set of circumstances that allowed this to happen. The spirit captured here, more than anything else, is what I chase in wrestling. A searing two-week feud that I love even more on reflection.

The 1992 Royal Rumble is a ***** match. Bobby Heenan performance on commentary is even better.

This is now a Hounds of Hell fan account. Thank you.

My @voicesofwrestling.com MOTY 2024 ballot. A tricky year for me as I struggled to connect with the promotions I cover for work and, due to personal circumstances, didn't explore as much as usual. Still, plenty of good stuff. Danielson WOTY.

A legitimate personal bucket list announcement. Brother, we're going on tour! Five dates, four countries. Details: www.futureevents.uk/whatculturew...

My (pretty basic) read on the Ricky Starks situation is that Tony Khan believes he is heading to WWE and therefore doesn't want to book him. Starks appears hungry, so I'd expect a quick jump when his AEW deal expires. Which stinks, because I want to watch him. I'll still catch his indie dates.

Some of the best times of my life came during my late teens/early 20s, supporting Jimmy Calderwood's Dons. Jimmy's sides were often sublime, sometimes ridiculous, and never dull. A true rollercoaster ride. I remember the 4-0 Copenhagen as fondly as Dave Bus. RIP. I'm gutted.

Christopher Daniels went out on his shield, bleeding buckets, putting a guy over. Can't knock it at all. #AEW

I get a bit sad thinking about how good the Death Riders story could've been if Eddie Kingston had been around. Nobody better to stand up for the company than the guy who almost had to sell his gear to pay the bills before he got signed. "You've changed, man" promos opposite Jon. Beautiful.

This is pretty obtuse, but as a certified Enjoyer of People Walking Down Hallways, I thought this week's SmackDown opening rocked.

Saturday hikes.

What is Brody King cooking?

Went back to Twitter for a bit, neglected this spot, and realized why I came over here in the first place. Time to fire the ol' bsky back up. Anyway, I watched three Stan Hansen matches today. It was a good day.

I really want to see Omos wrestling on television again. At a time when almost every big man can do dives and rolls, a traditional giant is almost like a unicorn. I'd love to see today's hyper-athletes working around a huge, lumbering monster. Thought his run with AJ rocked.

Reserving judgement on the Rey Fenix situation until more information comes to light is still the move.

Watching SmackDown. Recent changes in the tag division are paying big dividends. MCMG have been good. Gargano is loads better as a smarmy ass heel and the turn was well played. Profits going through a very interesting character period. Solid work. #Wrestlesky

Putting Kyle Fletcher over Little Kazu is exactly the kind of ballsy booking I want in my wrestling tournaments. Kyle's presentation as the competition's leader has been immaculate so far. He remains the pre-eminent rising male star in AEW. #Wrestlesky

Rampage was a good show. Into Collision next.

Fired up for Claudio Castagnoli vs. Brody King. Even in this Cold Arena Era. Don't care. Those big ol' boys got the blood pumping with that face-off last week. That one big spot where the freakishly strong Claudio hosses Brody around is going to hit.

Had a garbage few weeks, mental health wise, so I'm very much looking forward to Claudio vs. Brody bringing me back to life tonight, baby.

Thank you Hatebreed, Nails, Crowbar, Misfits and Terminal Nation for their services towards my tinnitus this year. 🙏

I love Planes Mistaken For Stars.

I'm not gonna use this place to promote things often, but I'd love it if you would vote in our 2024 wrestling awards. 100% anonymous and open until the end of the week. Scan the QR code or click da link: forms.gle/kvGpHdAoZZfT... #Wrestlesky

I'm late and catching up, but I loved the whole package for Brody King vs. Darby Allin on Dynamite, from the entrances to to Brody stopping Claudio post-match. Typically strong match from these two. Darby starting the tournament hurt is a great G1-esque story to chew on throughout. #Wrestlesky #AEW
