I'm bummed that Mark won because I kept thinking about a segment where Mark had a mouth full of teeth because Don "didn't want Mark looking like a hillbilly chicken farmer"and made him get dentures. #aew #aewfullgear
MARK BRISCOE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!

AND NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went from Tony Khan fighting to have The Briscoes to be allowed on AEW TV, to Mark now being the FACE OF THE NETWORK as the TNT Champion!!!!!

Wow.

Incredibly well deserved.

Standing ovation.

So much emotion.

Congratulations Mark Briscoe!

Ogbert "Tracy" Jordan went on to invent a new kind of borkulator.

I created the original Blood & Guts logo for #AEW in 2020 and last month saw that it had changed.

It went from stylized and cool to a font that comes with your PC.

My version was on toys and used for 4 years and looked cool as hell.

Oh well. It's not mine, but it was a bummer to see it changed.

Was looking at title histories on the WWE website and was in the 24/7 Title section and I'm really curious why Jinder Mahal's five minute reign is listed on there are well...more.

I'd like to thank the following people that helped me out after my last post about losing my job:

Nobody.

Not a repost.

Not a message about an opening you saw.

Not an introduction to someone who is hiring.

Not a single word of encouragement.

Nothing.

No wonder that Disney Plus dumped the show after this past season!

I wonder if the BBC will, too.

Daniel Garcia sure is visibly wearing that towel.

Would be an absolute *shame* if he threw it in to screw Nigel over.

I'm so happy everyone is having positive reactions to Bozilla. She has improved so much in the very short time she's been in the business.

Her match with Megan Bayne during WrestleMania weekend for GCW and it's a fantastic Meat Division match. I urge you all to find it, because it is great.

I still think this is the best idea and all of you are cowards for not agreeing with me #aew #aewforbiddendoor
Josh Alexander should keep being a badass and add the wrinkle that he can't hear shit with the ear protectors on.

Example: Don could be cutting a promo and they all walk off and Josh stands there as they walk because he didn't hear it. Or he doesn't hear Don's coaching and loses.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

once you actually internalize that society is fake and we just made everything up and none of this is real other than the "realness" people have placed upon it, it's insane that anyone thought any of this would work in the first place

SCUBA is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

What you may not know is that Tuba is also an acronym for Terrible Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

Jesus Christ.

This is beyond fucked.

After tearing down the news media for decades, they're now taking over the media and will tell their Jennings that truth in journalism is back, and the propaganda machine will be in full unmerciful swing.

I hate it here.
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵
