My personal Blueanon headcanon is that djt resigns and has jdv appoint djtjr as vice president. Then jdv resigns. Djtjr becomes prez and appoints jdv as vp again. Then djt can say heās making all the decisions himself, but passing off all the physical dtd stuff to djtjr.

No, just that if they had called the match with a minute to go it would have been great. That was when Bandido got killed by FTR and Brody broke it up. It was only a few seconds before the 29 minute call. Had all the urgency, a big crowd pop, then farted around outside for another minute.

It really goes a long way to make AEW feel like an actual sports league of teams competing against each other, instead of a WWE* style of every person for themselves, no factions, each program is kept separate and every detail controlled. * specifically the 2010s era. I havenāt watched since

It feels like thereās a new class of wrestling free agents: ex-WWE talent that canāt or donāt want to work the AEW style. As a result, WWE is comfortable letting their deals expire to save money knowing they can bring them back whenever they have an idea for them. See also: Braun Strowman, R Truth

The 123 Bucks just pulled off one of the biggest tv upsets in decades! Also, I kinda love how different it is to have a pinfall not followed by the winnerās music and dramatic ring announcing. Itās also good motivation for an edgier Bucks to go after the championship to get their perks back 𤼠#AEW

While i support AEW doing their own thing and ignoring all the WWE bullshit, a surprise Goldberg squash in a Max Caster open challenge would be just the right amount of petty that I could get behind. How can we get @rjcity.bsky.social and Rocky Romero on the case to open that forbidden door?

Hey thanks for telling me what I was thinking! But youāre right, I should have been clearer that this thought first came to mind after I saw Hangman do something really cool. You know, the guy heās been very publicly, and passive aggressively bitching about for the past two years

If theyāre gonna pair up Ricochet and the Cru, that would make sense. But Iām also of the opinion that AEW should only be allowed to have one fuck finish per year, and they already used up their 2025 allotment
