An old, boxy CRT television sits abandoned in a patch of overgrown grass under a moody twilight sky. The words 'Choose Your Own Erasure' appear in bold, retro-styled green lettering above it. The Retroactive Certainty logo is in the top left corner. Text at the bottom reads 'Season 01 | Episode 05' with the Canon Fodder Media logo in the bottom right. The image evokes digital decay, obsolescence, and eerie nostalgia.

Mox vs. Hangman next week. Could be the greatest (non-spaghetti) Western sequel since The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. #AEWDynamite

At least Jon Moxley gets to fight Hangman next week. Self-care looks different for everyone, I guess. #AEWDynamite

That elbow drop had Slim Jim residue all over it. Briscoe just summoned the spirit of Randy Savage. #AEWDynamite

Briscoe kicked out at 2 and 7/8ths. Somewhere, a stats junkie just achieved spiritual transcendence. #AEWDynamite

I’m cooking up a #RetroactiveCertainty episode about pro wrestling. In the meantime, I’m watching #AEWDynamite ... because of course I am.
