You ever miss when conspiracy theories were fun? When you could turn on Art Bell at night and think, "oh hell yeah, this dude's gonna play field recordings from the portal to hell he says is in a hole in his backyard" and not worry that anyone was gonna tear down the CDC over it?

Shout out to the Nazi biker we were driving behind with the shirt that said "teach your kids to change their oil and not their gender" -- I just bought a "Gender Roles are Dead" shirt from a queer-owned website specifically because I saw you. Nice job

Sometimes Labor Day Weekend doesn't mean an extra day of partying, it means you get to stay up super late on Sunday recovering from your awesome show the night before by binging Collision and Death Before Dishonor. #AEW #ROH 🤼

Thanks to Bryce for capturing us on video last night! Full set, filmed from the front row. Enjoy.

Best compliment I got last night was probably from Willy from Doom Buggy, whom we hadn't seen in years: "I'm not used to seeing IfIHadAHiFi: polished rock veterans"

A friend on FB asked, "who is gonna be the David Miscavige of MAGA?" He laughed and said "that's very possible" when I suggested Gavin Newsom.

The concept of an AEW champ traveling to defend it in other companies/regions was pretty fire too

I remember going in to watching All Out 2023 really bummed about all that but as the show went on, thinking, "holy smokes, this crew is busting their ASS and this show is amazing"
Milwaukee's DrAwkward (@hotshotrobot.bsky.social) reply parent
All told, I think that's accurate. Granted, it's fueled some good layers of meta-story (the title loss put Hanger into the tread-water mode that Swerve snapped him out of), but as a business move, yeah, it certainly backfired hard. A real shame.

Also missing the International Title as a focus. That belt is gorgeous
Milwaukee's DrAwkward (@hotshotrobot.bsky.social)
All Out 2023 is low key one of my favorite AEW PPVs. The company was reeling from a certain someone getting fired and the energy from the roster was clearly "let's go out and give the fans a fucking banger show," and they did. And OC was cemented as a main event talent. 🤼

"All of this is, of course, likely to be an example of the typically cynical pro wrestling ploy of trying to engage fans by pandering to their prejudices...That a value-producing company owned by a billionaire has chosen a character like Page as its standard bearer is significant." YES YES YES

FANTASTIC article about the AEW World Champion, directed toward an audience that needs to hear "hey! Not all pro wrestling is MAGA!" Really terrific read, and I am glad that the company is getting attention for this 🤼

Seriously the best. When Dixie and I said hi to him after the Archers show in 2023, we chatted for a while and then we didn't want to take up his time and said we were gonna hit the road, and he was almost bummed we were leaving! "Oh! Ok... well, I'm sure we'll see each other again someday!" 🥺

Dixie and I rewatched this a year or two ago, and it totally holds up, thanks to it looking gritty and real, full of practical effects, and taking its source material (the comic, not the cartoon) seriously. It's really good! Also good: the Mutant Mayhem animated movie from 2023! Like, REALLY good!

TK said in the scrum that going forward the casino gauntlet title shots have to be announced at least a week in advance, to get rid of the MITB style gimmick, and he said it was to keep MJF in line. So probably that?

Basically that going public was going to torpedo WWE's creativity. Their creative has been mid since then because they program to maximize shareholder value by doing lowest common denominator shit, and barring the occasional accidental bright spot, that approach has crippled them

"We're not a publicly traded company," he says. "We don't have the big stock market people support and all that stuff. But we don't have that to stop us either. Our disadvantages become our advantages to create." This quote validates what I've been saying since WWE went public in the early 2000s:

When Swerve smiles at the end of All In as Hangman lifts the world title high, he's not just happy that Mix lost, he seems genuinely happy that Hangman got his shit together. And he knows he had a huge hand in it. Both guys won in the end. 4/4
Milwaukee's DrAwkward (@hotshotrobot.bsky.social) reply parent
Fast forward through Swerve using Hangman as a springboard to his own world title reign, Hangman veering into the dark side, bottoming out in the All Out cage match, and building himself back up, he eventually got back the swagger Swerve called him out for missing. 3/
Milwaukee's DrAwkward (@hotshotrobot.bsky.social) reply parent
The whole feud started with Swerve seeing Hangman drifting aimlessly after losing the title to Punk, and saying to him "man, you were chosen as the top guy around here, and you're not acting like it. If I had been handed your position, I would be the first black world champ by now." 2/
Milwaukee's DrAwkward (@hotshotrobot.bsky.social)
Hanger discussing his feud with Swerve here (which remains one of the best, layered feuds I've ever seen in wrestling) made me think of one specific angle of the Swerve/Hangman story that I really love: that Hangman winning the title at All In was a win for them both: 1/
