Y'all are good people. You've got to stop letting shitheads frame discourse, stressing you out over lies driven by hatred. No, GCW didn't drug Sabu and force him into a match. Sabu regularly took THC and Kratom. The Janela interview was half-joke/half-embellishment, like everything Janela says. 🤼

Sabu regularly used kratom. The Janela interview was an embellishment. Just a dude joking around about Sabu always canceling. It was just Sabu's routine.

And then to cap it off, have MJF dismiss criticism of AEW and himself as a performer supporting sexism and sexist treatment of women workers, with a kayfabe statement saying he's pro-sex worker.

To be fair, on Twitter they would have just called me a slur. 🤼

Tony Khan heard us saying, "Wow, this card looks great! It's all under 40s, none of the bummer angles! How fun!" and said, "This can't stand. Bring out the olds." #AEWDynamite 🤼

Thought this might be a bit more punchy framed by AEW's best and worst stretches. January's 7.15 makes it the lowest average AEW's put up since August 2021 and one of only four months outside of the pandemic to average below 7.25.

Odd stat to track, yeah, but I hope it makes a bit of sense. #AEW 🤼

If you don't think pro wrestling media has a serious problem, just take a look at @sportsillustrated.bsky.social's Janel Grant coverage.

Both written by @zackheydorn.bsky.social so it's not like he wrapped up his Grant story and said, "I have to write this CM Punk story in 15 minutes!" #WWE 🤼

You're damn right I think this should be on AEW Dynamite over a Jeff Jarrett match or an MJF promo! And if that's wrong then I don't want to be right! #AEW #ROH 🤼

No wonder he's getting the push! Ian's working politics backstage for The Outlaw! It's too late to stop!

Normal Presale opens up tomorrow (10am, presale code: INS7AEW). This is currently the VIP Presale, which I'm guessing has higher prices. Even so. Maybe twice as much as I was expecting (includes fees, but not tax).

Oh, Ian. Ian, Ian, Ian. Bless your heart.

In case you were wondering how AEW felt internally about MJF and Jeff Jarrett's misogynistic promo from Dynamite, here's an official advertisement for the segment on Facebook. #AEW 🤼

Here's a recently shared bit of data from Wrestlenomics showing how big of an issue its become. Ticket sales don't drop overnight. It's very much rooted in momentum. The drop has been building for years. #AEW 🤼

Friend. @shutupexcalibur.bsky.social. I'm begging. Please. During Ospreay's next entrance say, "Will Ospreay! The aerial assassin! He's silent... but he's deadly!" #AEW 🤼
