We're cooked, folks. Misinformation, disinformation, dwindling education standards, bigotry, division, and amplification of violent rhetoric have cost us our sensibility. I truly have no idea how we find it. Just awful times that are going to follow us for decades to come.

The man is an actor!

I knew @ianriccaboni.com was gonna cram in as many Bruce references as he could there.

🚨MAJOR TV NETWORK UPDATE🚨

NEW: Sources indicate that TNA has had conversations about moving to Wednesday and opposing AEW on a WWE-associated network. TNA President Carlos Silva did not deny the rumor. www.si.com/fannation/wr... #WWE #TNA #wrestlesky #AEW

Harder to imagine by the day that there will be legitimate, certified elections in 2026 and 2028.

Very cool that our job reports are just going to be straight up fabricated going forward. Absurdly impeachable offenses committed on almost the daily. Just another day in America.

Literally everything is more expensive than this time last year. My very essential medication to prevent pre-cancerous cells from growing went from a $5 co-pay to $30. Grocery bill is up at least 15%. But hey, at least we have two official pronouns now.

I'm not sure I have thoughts on Hulk Hogan's death that will ultimately contribute much to the public discourse, but I will say I have really appreciated reading a lot of thoughtful pieces today that have taken a deep dive into his place in culture, for better or for worse.

AJ Styles was heavily praised backstage for his #TNASlammiversary appearance, but sources indicate his plans for the show "changed a few times." www.si.com/fannation/wr... #TNA #wrestlesky #WWE

A #TNA official tells me the floor is sold-out for Slammiversary. They estimate it will be TNA’s most-attended show in the last decade, and the company is projecting internally it may end up being its most-attended U.S. show ever. I don’t have the total tix sold at this moment.

“Don't we all dream of a life somewhere Untouched by our failures?” Springsteen had that gem of a line sitting in his archive for 31 years. Can you imagine?

Welcome to #AEWAllIn, the biggest U.S. show #AEW has run to date.

While this is true, goodwill is an enormous part of any long-form storytelling is paying off earned action. Imagine if the Avengers lost in Infinity War AND End Game. Would anyone care what happened next at the same level of investment?

I wrote almost 2,000 words on why Tony Khan and #AEW cannot afford to have Hangman Page lose in the All In main event. Why goodwill, fan perception, and the company’s future creative direction are on the line Saturday ⬇️ #wrestlesky www.si.com/fannation/wr...

Not ROH. Maybe AEW. But AEW will be negotiating its next media rights deal within the next year and a half or so in all likelihood.

$7-10 million AAV on a platform with cable and OOT distribution

Not sure it’s the priority right now to do a show there, but I’d imagine a French AEW show at the right venue would come off great on TV

Daniel Garcia knows ball.

Writing a piece for SI about this as we speak. Stay tuned 👀

Really appreciate it Mike! It’s one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever done. All credit to him.

En route to Dallas for #AEW All In. Let’s do an #AskAlba to pass the time. Ask anything about anything. Must use the hashtag. Go.

This was such a great interview thank you ☺️

“Is this a sports interview, or is this therapy?” @hangmanpage.bsky.social , six years in, is still discovering why he matters in #AEW. He opened up about how he navigates that in my new piece for The Takedown on SI ahead of All In. 📺: youtu.be/o_rIQadtd2Y?... 📖: www.si.com/fannation/wr...

I like Mike Brown a lot, actually, but I think the #Knicks hiring him would be a lateral move. In fact, I think they may even be looking forward to another name down the line 👀

While I personally think the #Mets should part with prospects or money to go for a higher value arm, here are five cheaper external options I came up with that the lab could target ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline 👀

I finished all 83 songs on #TheLostAlbums in seven hours and 12 minutes. My first-listen rankings: 1. Streets of Philadelphia Sessions 2. Somewhere North of Nashville 3. Twilight Hours 4. LA '83 5. Perfect World 6. Inyo 7. Faithless #Tracks2 #Springsteen

That Punk/Cena segment is the very antithesis of everything CM Punk has been, his entire career. Punk's one of the best ever at talking people into buying a match, especially if things are personal. Didn't feel like the time to do that kind of segment, especially on a go-home.

Checks and balances had a nice 250-year run. The 2016 election shaped the entire future of the country.

I haven't done enough to acknowledge Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, as I have in the past. Candidly, this last month has been extremely defeating professionally for me. I know a lot of others feel the same. Thank you to those who have stuck through it. I appreciate you.

I'm angry at the world today, but Bruce Springsteen drops seven albums in less than 12 hours, so on we go.

Over the last two weeks, the #Yankees have been by far and away the least clutch team in baseball (by both the eye test and FanGraphs). They were -2.01 coming into tonight (-2 or lower is considered "awful" in clutch situations). No one else in MLB is anywhere close.

We need more political candidates who know what Bryan Danielson's Cattle Mutilation is.

18 years since the Chris Benoit tragedy. The darkest day in wrestling history, and one that had drastic consequences on the industry. Remarkable that it didn't have as devastating an effect as it could have, truthfully. One of those "remember where you were" moments.

#BanTheWave #baseballsky @jonalba.bsky.social

Management/creative with the occasional match

Nope. They very seriously need to consider a repackage though. I’d turn him and make him more like a babyface Luke Perry.

Not to be plunging into fascism

I’ve got 45 minutes for an #AskAlba. Ask anything about anything. Must use the hashtag. Go.

Who would have thought the Supreme Court giving every President going forward unchecked autonomy would ever backfire?

Highly encourage folks to actually read Jon's article, which includes the lawsuit text in full and answers some basic questions.

New from me: #AEW and Jon Moxley have been served a civil suit by a production crew member for an incident that occurred on the May 10, 2023 edition of Dynamite. He claims the damages exceed at least $25,000. #wrestlesky www.si.com/fannation/wr...

I would suggest if you asked any talent in today's wrestling industry, they would agree he is one of the greatest TV performers ever.

Not hyperbole to suggest R-Truth is one of the greatest TV performers in wrestling history. In an avenue of entertainment that often does a terrible job with comedy, he was an ace. Impeccable timing, self-awareness, and strong in-ring work. He's an all-timer. #WWE #wrestlesky

No! Not Loretta Swit! For my money, the host of the greatest Muppet Show episode of all time. A friend of mine met her recently and asked about, and she was overjoyed to talk about it. Legend.

The very worst of us.

Both Steve Maclin and Deonna Purrazzo can distinctly remember where they were on the morning of 9/11. Now, almost 25 years later, they want to pay tribute to first responders and veterans who gave their lives in the aftermath. My piece ⬇️ #wrestlesky #AEW #TNA www.si.com/fannation/wr...

Yeah this is the Thunder's championship to lose right now. I don't see anyone beating them.
