i'm just blown away by how quickly people will act like a wrestler is super progressive, over the most bare minimum of actions or words. please stop putting wrestlers on pedestals, folks
February 12, 2026 at 7:58 PM
some folks need to really recognize that not every wrestler in aew is super leftist. & that some folks are ultimately fence sitters, as in they won't take the proper side on anything important because they'll lose support/fans that way

i will never buy him being a credible threat, it's not even believable

this is the truth and finally more people are saying it. obviously aew is more progressive, but we still need to take into account that it's not this perfect leftist utopia (think deep and hard about some of the wrestlers who work there, i beg)
Dunno who needs to hear this but... AEW, while obviously more progressive than the alternative is NOT some bastion of leftist politics and values. I think that treating it as such is setting yourself up for disappointment. Not trying to excuse them or shame anybody or anything like that... I just

i gotta say that reading the nonsense i read today is just a firm reminder of how shady the whole relationship is lmao. meanwhile everyone acts like it's not, i'm tired
not sorry. people who don't process their previous relationship (which they def ruined themselves), use said failure as promo fuel, all to get into a new relationship that you keep a secret for ages, all to speedrun the relationship after less than 3 years is lmao laughable. iykyk

i wish you were booking this instead because then we'd get something entirely unexpected lol
February 8, 2026 at 4:15 PM
would help him drastically because he can absolutely do just fine on his own
February 8, 2026 at 2:42 AM
anyone who thinks the women are being booked tremendously needs to rethink that, but that's just me

Today, do La Zona Muerta and the TV Funhouse collide?

Well, no, not really, but I did have some cynical thoughts re: MJF's FIERY HEAT DEATH, dumb, manufactured horniness and the lameness of the same overbooked finishes used over and over again at

More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Sounds like work
