TKO purchased AAA to get another US TV deal out of it. TKO has not yet got a US TV deal out of it. They are running their biggest possible match this Saturday in search of that TV deal. It's got to work.

I just responded to a message from a reader named Noah, and I stylized his name NOAH. Sent the email and everything before I even noticed. Pro wrestling may have finally broken my brain.

STARDOM NEWS: At today’s Korakuen Hall show, Utami Hayashishita made her return to the company for the first time in over two years to confront her former-AphroditE partner Saya Kamitani! #スターダム | #STARDOM | #joshi | #wrestlesky

Breaking News: PWI has learned that Damian "Damo" Mackle & Nicola Cross (Nikki Cross) have acquired @progresswrestling.bsky.social and the U.S.-based @defynw.bsky.social. 📖 pwi-online.com/big-damo-nik...

Thank you! There's a tough balance to strike, as we don't want to insult anyone's intelligence but also don't want to go "full smark" and thereby destroy what made PWI so much fun in the first place.

Actually, it’s only called Anime Girl if it comes from the Panel region of Manga. Otherwise, it’s sparkling cartoon girl 🤼

What if PWI re-releases old Weston mag articles, but instead of the character-driven/kayfabe quotes, it's a bunch of quotes from the wrestlers about how they're so happy to be able to work with each other and have WrestleMania moments? 🤼

Say what you want about Bluesky but when journalists and politicians get indoctrinated on here the worst thing that happens to them is getting strong opinions about Mina Shirakawa and MLB third basemen from the early 2000’s

Hey it was a thrill to be able to chat with Al and Brian about all things New Japan, and more! So happy they had me on, so you should give it a listen! 🤼

The way I'm so hyped to celebrate women's wrestling with all of y'all!

Positive news.

This one started out as a top 50 in 2008 and for several years earlier on didn't even get the cover image of the issue it was printed. So very much has changed for the better and given me another list to look forward to reading yearly.

I wrote a little more about this:

Same energy 🤼‍♂️

After wrapping up the latest @official.prowrestlingillustrated.com mag, I’m continuing with my important editorial work over on Letterboxd #FilmSky #MovieSky

We're mere weeks away from the PWI Women's 250 😍

Pro wrestling and horror films are competing for my time, attention, and intellectual bandwidth 🦇 🤼 It’s October, but this is also an evergreen sentiment.

Indie wrestling legend 🤼‍♂️

I still can't believe John Cena stole my CAW's whole moveset.

I don’t think WWE ID is done. But I do think it’s noteworthy that we’ve seen three of the four women under those deals announce they’re either not renewing or not being renewed. The program has been mostly male prospects since the beginning, so I hope some new women are signed 🤼‍♂️

My beloved Philadelphia Phillies went down in tragic fashion, but that just means there are more hours in the day to watch wrestling 🤼‍♂️

Well, at least the Perfect Blue theatrical rerelease was a good time! #lastfourwatched #FilmSky #HorrorSky

TGIF. Nobody relaxes like Nacho

LIFE UPDATE: I’m 41 and I just learned how to draw the Cool S.

Does Bluesky punish you like the other site does when you don't post for a while and/or you tweet about a topic outside of your designated "area"? Anyway, pro wrestling is cool. #WrestleSky

Two of my sleeper favorite matches from this weekend have to be the Casino Women’s Gauntlet and Evolution Battle Royal. Also, Hechicero vs. Michael Oku. But yes, the matches with lots of women wrestlers vying for the big title shot were both a lot of fun 🤼‍♀️
