@aaronsmark.bsky.social, you need to see this, pronto!

When a big company makes record profits and cuts budgets and salaries, it generally means two things: they want to look really good to their investors, and they are looking for a buyer.

I think the legends deals get dropped altogether And then we're gonna see an overnight change in the podcast arena on how AEW is covered

He's sexy and he knows it.

Hello, Mr CM Punk where is your support for worker’s rights? We could use a man at the top pushing for the rights of the little guys

Also, the podcast debut of my cat. (Sort of. Let me know if his purring is actually audible.) #WrestleSky 🤼‍♂️

Does it bother him that he looks like he should be on a list that forces him to knock on all his neighbors' doors to let them know he moved into the neighborood?

Diurnal mood variation M&Ms.

wrestling is better than the things you like.

So when is the "Comeback Killer" Willow Nightingale gonna get a match with a returning Nyla Rose? 👀👀👀 #AEW 🤼‍♂️

trouble [ 🤼 / #art / #aew / throwback ]

I miss Toni Storm so, sooooo much... but our toxic queen Thekla has been more than an adequate keystone of the division in her absence. Top 10 hire in AEW history, easily. Maybe even top 5.

Hey, remember when people turned on this absolute GODDESS for positively zero good reason at all? Yeah, Pepperidge Farm remembers, bitches. Fuck all the way off; she's the goddamned best, and always has been.

Every move TKO is making with WWE makes more sense when you realize Endeavor bought WWE to offset debt from the UFC purchase, to ultimately sell it to the Saudis. But if Saudi is out of money, you have to make it look pretty to all eventual buyers.

And we're off to the races...

Ngl AEW should do like a womens tournament with all proceeds going to ALS research Call it the round rebel tournament #AEW #ALS #WrestleSky

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar. • Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars • Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination

Can we get Nikki some dialect training for a Mid-Atlantic accent, post-haste, please?

Today is also the 18th anniversary of Steiner Math airing on TNA Impact. (video from TNA on X)

Even someone as relatively inexperienced with joshi as I am knows about Aja Kong. Fucking QUEEN.

I think, in any other director's hand, the use of aliens and fantasy would've diluted the themes of authoritarianism and capitalism run amok. But in John Carpenter's They Live, it's more powerful. Of course this force is otherworldly! We weren't meant to live this way.

Hitman.

I love how today can simultaneously a celebration of the death of the worst Austrian and of the birth of the best one. Happy birthday, Thekla! #AEW #WrestleSky 🤼‍♂️

Big fuzzy babies!

Yeah to be fair, although that has never struck me as an effective tactic like if you tell someone they're an awful human being for watching something they're more likely to double down than anything else

Listen to this podcast. I’m kinda biased because they mention the rankings every once in awhile but these two dudes have some pretty solid opinions and review the shows fairly. Also they mentioned one of my posts on this episode so I gotta promote it right?

Lots of speculation in this week's edition of the SFP. Like, TONS. But isn't that the best part? Join us! #WrestleSky 🤼‍♂️

Hot take: She's not wrong. Look, her story with Toni was a legitimate all-timer, but her actual title reign was ass. She changed her style to be slower and less interesting, and didn't actually defend her belt against anyone main event-level until Thunder Rosa nearly 4 months after she won it. 🤷‍♂️

"A man's got to have a code. I can only assume there's a female equivalent to that; a... codette?"

More wholesome wrestling content for y'all.

If they go from "unemployed"...to being paid by AEW and also being able to take indy dates, I think that's a good thing...no matter how sparsely they appear. Like I said...what is the mythical "better option" here?

Had never even considered this. But yeah... if this DID factor into their decision to not go to AEW when their time with TNA was up, I honestly kinda get it

Looks like @aaronsmark.bsky.social andI will have LOTS to discuss when we record for @smarkfndnpodcast.bsky.social on Sunday. Boy, howdy! Can't wait to get into the weeds! #WrestleSky 🤼‍♂️

If anyone has been on the fence, now is such a wonderful time to become an AEW fan. Come join Club A-E-Dub. This is where the best wrestle. If you love professional wrestling, AEW is a never-ending love letter to exactly that. We all need to escape into joy, especially these days.

This guy. THIS FUCKING GUY. I really only knew him as WCW Commissioner as a kid, but as an adult and going back to watch old AWA episodes from its ESPN era, he completely blew me away. Dude was a wrestling genius, and could have thrived in any era, guaranteed. CRIMINALLY underrated.

Just institute a Newell/Alize test. Float the idea of doing some quick jobs and see what the reaction is and go from there. 🤼

Awesome story. I wanna be friends with those Welsh ladies, too.

To all the joyless shitlibs who love to jump in my wrestling moots replies whenever we trying to talk graps

Why can't this kind of open communication be the norm?

Frankly, there are very few movies that wouldn’t be vastly improved by adding Godzilla

The "AEW fans are chanting fuck ICE" thing that went viral a couple months ago is still going btw

Just armadillo having fun to bless your scroll

So many layers to this. Like a beautiful, delicious humor lasagna.

I don't remember ever seeing this before, let alone bookmarking it, but well done past me, good work

The Sami Zayn thing was clearly a bit/ironic but if you’re still doing the thing you’re making fun of to make fun of it, you are still doing it. I don’t think he’s a maliciously bad person I just think he’s one of those “smart people who lack so much self awareness it cancels out being smart”

Yeah, this is the thing. Which means that the only person who gets any satisfaction out of the attempt is the person making it, because the people it's aimed at are too stupid to realize they're being made fun of, while the words and sentiments still escape containment regardless of original intent.

Professional wrestling is the highest of high art forms, and I won't hear any SLANDER to the contrary!
