Football special little guy. (Still buzzing from last night)

I brought this up on the other site so I'll bring it up here. Women almost never open #AEWDynamite because the Q1 and Q2 is usually reserved for the men that draw the most. On a PPV the main event is the most important. On TV? It's the first quarters. The women opening Dynamite is a big deal.

Allelitewrestlings on tumblr outdoing themselves with this grab. Like a cool horror film with "The Hangman"

Someone had to talk WWE's numbers, so it might as well be us. Stay for some conversation on that photo, all the Tokyo Dome drama, me championing Yota Tsuji like a prized racehorse and the answer to which wrestlers would make the best traitors

Ep 50! WWE's scarcity strategy and its effect on ticket sales. What has WWE gotten out of Cena's retirement year? Then- new ratings! Data + Panel and what it means for wrestling media deals. Last, NJPW and Tanahashi's final opponent. Why is this so messy? redcircle.com/shows/9aad8c...

Really appreciate everyone's support. Good to get back on the saddle

Cool thread

Take time out of your day to listen to Sarah’s justified righteous rage about having to watch Copeland for half an hour instead of getting straight to Orange Cassidy.

Eddie Pugston says it's too nice out to look at this dumb hand computer anymore. We're gonna listen to @trishsp.bsky.social and @sarahgraps.bsky.social and have a walk instead. 🤼‍♂️ 🐕

Sarah's Copeland impression is all the reason required to listen this week

all out 2024 // looking back in despair to a horrified audience all out 2025 // looking back with pride at an audience that sees him as beloved

‘Hangman’ Adam Page opens up to The Post about how he became AEW’s ‘standard bearer’ entering All Out

My interview with #AEW Kyle Fletcher is now posted. Topics include: 🥇Pressure of being in the main event 🤠Hangman 📷InstaGraham 🩷Pink gear 🤼Fav matches 🫎Pokemon 🎥Marvel movies And more bleacherreport.com/articles/252...

Justified “this is an awesome podcast” utterance.

Another great show. They always manage to articulate what I’ve been thinking about AEW TV—feels less like a podcast & more like a conversation I’m jumping into, agreeing as they hit point after point. Also Trish summed up the Glasgow experience & why I can’t committing to go to the December shows.

“Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent” should be a Toni Storm t shirt or slogan. 🔥

started listening in the car on the way to the vet, and it was the ONLY trip in six years where my cat didn’t spend the entire ride yowling her head off. absolutely fantastic!

your favorite unknown underground rapper is here to say TENDEDERO! as @trishandsarahpod.bsky.social returns. i’m truly thankful for my ears to be full of wrestling discussion of the highest caliber again. @trishsp.bsky.social @sarahgraps.bsky.social

NEW: Please don't politicize WrestleMania. WWE delivers shareholder value and normalizes an awe-inspiring dictatorship that pays them extremely well—all while entertaining you. There's nothing political about that. www.postwrestling.com/2025/09/12/o...

AEWeekly bids a fond farewell to @sachin0mac.bsky.social ... you'll be missed! This week, @emilianartb.bsky.social has some thoughts about the Kenny × Hangman reunion, check it out: www.prowrestlingmusings.com/post/togethe... Don't we usually have a lot more than that? Yes! Please join our team!

The latest ep. of Stephanie McMahon's podcast, I guess the first with host-read ads, includes a VPN spot that's built around Americans using the VPN to access Canadian Netflix for all WWE programming. THIS IS A WWE-PRODUCED PODCAST. A total middle finger to ESPN, NBC Universal, and The CW. Insane.

Pro wrestling is often associated with the Right, but a new character has become popular for championing solidarity and workers’ rights, reflecting the growing economic precarity of its fanbase.

“For a long time, it felt like the Bucks lost their agency. Having BTE back feels like a reclamation of that agency, and of their own identities, within the scope of AEW.” As always, @emilianartb.bsky.social is worth the read! Great newsletter this week. Check it out!

Shout out to the London crowd for passing the 'go ace' check, best since Chicago

It is not lost on me how lucky i am to have done all four of these things. Grateful

A year to the day, I did a feature on then- AEW World Champ @swerveconfident.bsky.social for Complex. Today for @uncrownedcombat.bsky.social, we got together again to talk about staying relevant, AEW's Sprint Relay Team (his picks, my title) & more! sports.yahoo.com/wrestling/ar...

my incredible friend ivy set this up to help nuno. i have reached the max reimbursement from my pet insurance and we still have radiation to go. if you can help i will be so very grateful. if not. just your thoughts are appreciated. thanks. www.gofundme.com/f/nuno-needs...

Without it sounding like a drama, i have not been able to sleep for more than a few hours for over 5 weeks. I cannot have a regular pattern or take any medication with drowsy side effects. Any ideas that might help?

Really excellent, detailed, and thoughtful summation and analysis of WWE’s current business decisions, culture, and treatment of their staff, competition, partners and fans. No one’s covering wrestling like Trish and Sarah!

We cover more of the business and culture side of wrestling this week. Please give it a listen and let us know your thoughts.

NEW: Weekend @TheNewsAgents special report from Nevada. If possible, America’s fentanyl crisis is worsening, with newer, even deadlier synthetic opioids flooding the market. Worse still, these new opioids up are turning up in Britain and Europe. Listen now. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Antitrust cases are of course difficult and expensive but MLW did the work of defining the relevant market (televised wrestling in the U.S.) and alleging monopoly power at least sufficient to overcome WWE’s motion to dismiss and ultimately cause WWE to settle for $20M.

brother none of this was warranted deserved or earned #AEWDynamite

Here you go! @trishsp.bsky.social, I took some artistic license, hope that’s ok!! youtu.be/yT64BDJmuPQ?...

Holy shit! Thank you @wooster182.bsky.social
