Feel like they need to come out of the weekend with a big angle because if this Mox/Darby feud ends Saturday, then there’s not much of anything to look forward to going into next week.

Hopefully we see a refocused and revamped creative output from AEW after WrestleDream because this PPV cycle has largely been uninteresting and lazy.

One reason I suspect the shutdown is going better for Dems than lots of pundits thought: 56% of swing-state voters say health care should be a top priority for the parties, and 64% say affordability should. But only 22% and 30% say the GOP is focused on those www.gelliottmorris.com/p/independen...

Companies continue to cut jobs citing AI, and their efforts to need less humans.

The marketing is "ai centered around humans", but the reality is jobs are being lost all over the world as AI is supposed to make up the work that humans did.

One big difference between ICE invading Portland & Chicago vs DC is the local media coverage. Everything in DC was poorly covered through the Trump lens. Removed from that, ICE are properly presented as criminals.

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE apparently sent AEW a Cease & Desist letter for putting Andrade on TV as he broke his 90 Day non-compete clause after getting released.

AEW did not believe he had one. ⤵️

When AEW first started there were reports that a ultimate goal for TK is to make AEW feel like a hub for the entire wrestling world. Thats starting to fully come into fruition

TakeshitaSCAREvocate @shrubx.bsky.social · 15h

As someone who stopped watching North American wrestling consistently for a decade before AEW and was basically all puro, its my favorite thing about AEW. The rest of the industry exists and it matters within AEW lore, makes their fans more open to giving other things a chance.

Tonight, AEW showed clips of NJPW, promoted Friday night's Arena Mexico show & name-dropped a promotion in Denmark. I feel like we sometimes take the "forbidden door" stuff for granted.

Like imagine if they had someone like Brock Lesnar but not a piece of shit who could just annihilate Hangman to set up a feud. You can write an underdog story for the champ and it can tap into similar vibes that chasing a title can have.

Babyface title holders are always so much harder to book well. Rarely do you ever see someone come up with an idea of how to tap into the vibes of the chase.

Think that’s one example of AEW generally lacking behemoth monsters who can dominate guys sized like Hanger hurts the product to some degree
