AEW became the talk of the town when the crowd chanted "FUCK ICE." This changed the perception of wrestling fans in pop culture and let the rest of the industry know they shouldn't just "shut up and suplex." This didnt occur in a vacuum. AEW has been a progressive wrestling company. Please read

Holy shit

#AEWCollision

Eddie Kingston wearing a Minnesota T-Shirt!!

If somebody didn't know, they might assume he was from there or had some connection or was a Gopher fan?

No no and no

Totally an act of solidarity

Thank you, Eddie!!

Crowds at #aewdynamite in Las Vegas, in a swing state Trump won in 24, are chanting F*** ICE in a match with Brody King, who raised money for affected immigrant families with an Abolish ICE shirt. One of many signs of the cultural shift we’ve seen on the issue in the past year.

If you say "counter-wrestling", Mark Davis and Adam Page would not bethe first names to come to mind, but...

that sequence of skinning the cat reversed into the fireman carry re-reversed into the tombstone piledriver?

That was some tasty counter-wrestling!

Tacos are on their way, and you know how the app will put the driver's name and their plate number? Like "Faisal - QRP715"?

For my driver it's his name & then "Temporaly"

I realize now he has temp plates & a typo, but momentarily I was like "Timelord!"

They should've arrived before I ordered em!

So... What was up with THIS? That's the main question I explore in the one NON-Tommaso segment of this week's #AEWeekly

Everybody is talking Tommaso this week! #AEWeekly is all about celebrating whatever was awesome in AEW, & naturally this week that mostly meant everybody's favorite Psycho Killer AND NEW tnt champ!

So many great ones to choose between, but most just barely meet that minimum (What Have I Done to Deserve This) so I'm going to break the tie by picking the LONGEST one:

I Don't Know What You've Got But It's Got Me, by Little Richard
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.

Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Becky Lynch always seemed to me the most bland of the NXT women's division, couldn't see why they made her the central figure of the Smackdown women's division

Then she got a hardway bloody face, and leaned into it and everything from that point seemed midas-touched
#WrestleSky 🤼, a query:

Who is a wrestler you would like to admit you were wrong about in a *GOOD* way?

In other words, who is a wrestler that you dismissed / didn’t like / didn’t think was good who turned out to totally prove you wrong?

Last week's #AEWeekly was all about shipping and polycules in AEW. Was this past week less of a horned-up version of AEW?

Nope.
