There could be a small wrestling news site, like the 9th or 10th biggest, that would get more attention than they ever have before for saying "we're not covering WWE any more", so it could be a net benefit for them. Realistically though, I can't see anyone actually doing it.
Asking Taz what he thinks about Hook's new entrance music (secretly hoping that he'll sing a bit of it)
Post-#AEWCollision crossword bump 🤼
Forgot to mention that I was driving behind a car yesterday with the license plate "HLKMNIAC". If this guy had just decided to advertise to everyone "I'm a pro wrestling fan" I'd still find it unusual enough to post about, but he went as far as "I'm a Hulk Hogan fan". In 2025. Truly incredible.
🤼 NEW WRESTLING CROSSWORD 🤼 Starting off your Labor Day long weekend with another wrestling crossword, and you might be laboring for a long time with it, because they tell me some spots in this one are a bit more difficult than usual. Hope you're up for it! LINK: dub.sh/232apfU
New wrestling crossword going up tomorrow morning!
Why won't those wrestlers get out of the way, I'm trying to look at the ring!
CMLL sending Logan Paul a letter to tell him he's now legally barred from wearing a Pokemon card necklace on WWE shows
SPRINTING across the ring while carrying an entire person
Here's my essay on how I spent my summer vacation
I'm sure this has been answered someplace and I just haven't seen it, but if the problem is the venue, then why didn't this happen when NXT ran there?
The more I learn about wrestling, the more I see how often things from the past get reused. Just learned that Hernandez's nickname "SuperMex" was first used by Ricky Romero in the 1970s.
Seems like "Are they making us money" is the one and only question that gets asked.
When I first heard Killswitch came back, I thought "he was being mistreated by Christian, deserves revenge, but they'll probably gloss over that" Then I watched Dynamite. Christian's not 100% face. And after the FD match, it looks like Killswitch isn't 100% heel? Could go to some interesting places
Really confused about why she wouldn't watch Toyota matches. Are they hard to find? No, YouTube Are they difficult to sit through? No, they're pretty exciting Would she care about joshi? Yes, because she's faced lots of joshi wrestlers and even wrestled in Japan
He was having great matches with opponents other than Mox before AEW even existed
Hearing that many of the headlines said "Actually It Can't Be Called A Saw If You Remove The Blade"
Tyrus feeling uncomfortable, looking over his shoulder
Chuckling heartily at Rick Knox raising the hands of 4 of the 5 main event winners and then pointing like "that guy who's dead on the floor outside the cage also won this match"
Visibly shaken after watching this match, not from the fork spots but from the idea that I may not actually know which Young Buck is which
Watching the Forbidden Door main event. Matt Jackson just said "see ya" before kicking Darby and I'm suddenly questioning everything I ever knew about the Bucks. I thought only Nick said that!
CJ Abrams in 2023: 47 stolen bases Trea Turner in 2017: 46 stolen bases These are the only fast Nationals I respect
Maybe it's because Brody isn't obviously smaller than them, or maybe one of them gets pinned after a quadruple-team, 4 vs 1 situation
Tired: The Forbidden Door tag title match is a 3-way because Hurt Syndicate doesn't want to job Wired: The Forbidden Door tag title match is a 3-way to avoid a heel vs. heel matchup Inspired: The Forbidden Door tag title match is a 3-way because BRODIDO FUCKING RULES
If he'd married Nikki Bella he'd be related to Road Warrior Animal. Can't believe this wasn't mentioned in the article tbh
Those couple of times when Sean Ross Sapp actually wrestled matches, he should have yelled "Have I got a scoop for you!" and then scoop slammed his opponent
tbh, I want to see confirmation for that $70k number. Like I think even a WWE fan who makes $200k a year would be like "now hold on a minute"
"According to Ticketmaster, the most expensive Super Bowl ticket available is listed for $24,995." So the most expensive Mania ticket is nearly 3 times as much. www.si.com/nfl/super-bo...
Felt bad, then realized it's US dollars and felt worse
Popular wisdom used to be that when a show jumps to a new network (assuming roughly equal viewership on both networks), you lose a chunk of viewers who don't know where their show went and don't care enough to find out. Can't imagine what all this jumping around is doing.
It's strange, the more they juice up the show, the more excited I am to not watch it
Gave you a mandatory like for Utah Saints content
A huge chapter of my story is locked behind a wall
Never picked up on that, I don't think I really knew what ICE was in 2008 (and if I ever rewatch any of it, I'd never go for the last season)
Ah! I really wish they'd left that as a surprise, imagine the shock from the people who aren't entirely familiar with Stardom
The first Ishii match in late 2022
That last sentence is really something. Responding to "AI is not conscious" with "Oh yeah? Well a computer is better than you"
Coach tossing their laptop in the garbage the first time the AI tells them to go for it on 4th down
Where's the rest of it?
Yeah, I didn't realize the implied "it might be perfectly okay that it gives you the wrong answer, if you're not using it for something important"
Ok. AEW still does hire former wrestlers in backstage roles. Jerry Lynn is an example. That's what I was thinking Jericho could come back for.
Like I'm looking for anything negative Jericho ever said about WWE, and there are quotes where he has some criticisms, but I'm not seeing anything where he crosses the line imo. He's very careful about it.
I *think*, and I could be wrong, that Jericho wouldn't want to burn any bridges by doing that. If they want to pay him to take shots at AEW, I think what he'd do is take shots at the AEW fans, and say "hey, that was close enough, right? Okay give me the money".
All this stuff about Jericho is just because he liked an Instagram post? Anyway, I think everyone would agree he's largely worn out his welcome with the AEW audience, which means he should jump to some other company, and WWE is the most logical landing spot. I kind of assumed he was leaving, tbh.
HHH: "We need a name for this September PLE that we're counterprogramming AEW with. I've decided we'll call it Wrestlepalooza" Lawyer: "Hang on, F1RST Wrestling owns the trademark to that name" HHH: "Oh. Okay, let's call it Wrestlepooploopza" WWE fan: "YAY" *watches show*
This is last week's news. Still don't understand how anyone can say "The real reason we're sending everyone back to work would make us look kind of bad, so let's not tell them that. We'll look better if we give these shitty nonsense reasons." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Me trying to have a conversation about Pushkin that goes very poorly, then consulting the internet and discovering I was actually talking about Pusheen
No milly????
Because Ace was previously in the Bullet Club + the "feuding with Ricochet" connection. Ok, makes sense
There was some kind of documentary or show on Detroit techno that I was watching a while back, and they interviewed Plastikman's mother and asked her what she thought of his music. She paused for a second, then said "I don't DISlike it." That's how I feel about AEW signing Ace Austin
In a way, it's the most like real sports that pro wrestling has ever been
People were talking about an E&C reunion from the moment they announced All Out was in Toronto. I believe it was always the plan.
Today I learned: - "you can play a copyrighted song on your podcast for up to 30 seconds under the fair use rule" isn't a real thing (I didn't learn this the hard way or anything, I was just googling) - "with regards to" is incorrect, "with regard to" is correct
The thing that really surprised me when I first heard it is that 27 US states have a northernmost point that's further north than the southernmost point of Canada. More than half of them!
Just curious, what was the match you wanted?
Did you hear about the woman who had a first date at an Indian restaurant, but got up and left right after the appetizers? It was a naan starter
As far as pro wrestling, TK is a lifer imo
Post was specifically inspired by Hina and Rina, fyi (I know they're not on Wrestle Universe)
One of these days I'm going to get on Wrestle Universe or whatever other streaming service and make a point of watching all these wrestlers that I've come up with like 5 different crossword clues for but have never actually seen wrestle.
Now all we need is a Forbidden Door preshow match where Tony takes matters into his own hands and gives Ryohei Oiwa a big win
Oof, scary stuff. Hope she'll be ok.
Back in the day, one of WWF's last Billionaire Ted skits was set up with a big shocking reveal that Ted Turner's evil plot was to put the WWF out of business. (It's a parody of "A Few Good Men," but still.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q731...
If AEW actually was interested in someone, you'd think they'd reach out even if it was a work, just to check.
Here's a Canadian PSA that you can watch and still have pleasant dreams. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tijc...
Imagine that restaurant kitchen one just coming on TV if you didn't know what it was and weren't prepared for it though? I think that's why many people started getting rid of cable. "At least online I only get Rick Rolled"
That's the worst one by far. In 3 of the others the victims no-sell the accident.
Wow, apparently there were five of those things. I'd only ever seen four of them.
Googling "fucked up canadian workplace safety PSAs" just to feel something
I'm sure the people who set that $17k price aren't the same people who originally created the book, but just read this and try not to be like "get the fuck outta here". Hugh Beaver in the North Slob?
My first thought was not "what are the crime rates in DC?" but "can you really do a wheelie in an ATV?" It turns out you can! You can also do a side wheelie, even cooler
TK should hire Karrion Kross on a per-date contract at minimum wage (i.e. $7.25 per hour) and put him on job duty
Post-Collision bump 🤼
🤼 NEW WRESTLING CROSSWORD 🤼 A typical WWE/AEW fan perhaps won't know some of the words here. But it gives them a chance to learn stuff, and makes the puro/joshi/etc. fans feel seen. And if that lesser known stuff wasn't being included, maybe I couldn't make crosswords at all! LINK: dub.sh/KtF6k1P
Crossword post coming right up. An appointment that I thought would only take me a couple of hours this morning ended up taking more like five.
Buying 200+ different shirts and wearing them in a particular order to present my fantasy booking masterpiece to the world. Also handing out pamphlets with scripted promos and show recaps to anyone who asks
PWPonderings dot com is a decent indie news site.
Guy holding monkey's paw who just wished WWE would stop booking authority figure storylines: "hmm perhaps I should have been more specific"
Pleasantly surprised that he knows what FMW is, tbh
Here's some news that Dave Meltzer missed putting in this week's Observer: I'll be posting a new wrestling crossword right here on Bluesky tomorrow morning
Xzibit: "Yo dawg I heard you wanted to show that AI sucks"
Seems like the final piece of the puzzle was WWE giving people a reason to start taking a look at the competition.
He does say "if we brought him back and the audience rebelled against it, I wouldn’t be happy to have him back," but it's kind of a cheat because he knows the large majority of the fans who care about this are already long gone by this point.
Message to that last guy: this is the exact day and age where it's extremely normal for 35 year olds to be talking about comic books. It has never been more normal
If you're just looking for any rapper who did some acting: Eminem, 50 Cent, Sticky Fingaz, Method Man
When someone first told me about it, that was exactly my reaction. I thought it was some sort of Bang Bus knockoff.
There was a jimmyvan dot com wrestling website out there sometime around 2000-ish. He's been at this for a while, Fightful isn't his first kick at the can.
Purchased!
nm, got it. AEW store
Link?
Since it takes too long to explain to the AI what I want it to do, I'm getting another AI to make me a prompt for the AI to tell it to text my wife
Is this available in clothing form yet?
Probably should say "About 50% of adults who attend WWE live events come with children"
My OCD alarm went off at the "About 50% of people who attend WWE live events come with children" quote. So 50% of a WWE crowd is parents who brought children, and the other 50% are the children? www.cnbc.com/2025/08/06/e...
They did absolutely nail the picture choice, we all had that exact facial expression when we saw the article
Dave Mustaine talking to a piece of cheese: "Halloumi, meet the real me and my misfit's way of life"
Netflix being kind of faceless and anonymous really works in their favor. Like I never, ever thought "Wow, Netflix is complicit in sex trafficking" but ESPN is there on day one.
I get the impression that if TK wants someone to lose a match and they refuse, they tend to disappear from TV for a while. If someone's on TV every week then things are *probably* okay.
My first thought was seat 7, and make some offhand comments about how nice it is to have enough leg room. Probably wouldn't turn out well for me though
