The Wyatt Sicks would look amazing with cards like this!

Today’s blog is all about Blake Monroe—FKA Mariah May.

I’m obsessed and so ready for her to take over the WWE!

The Glamour Has Arrived: Blake Monroe’s WWE Debut Was Inevitable

From AEW to NXT, Blake Monroe is done proving herself. Now she’s going to take over the whole damn company Blake Monroe–formerly Mariah May–signed her NXT contract last night and let the world know…

I started a new blog focusing mainly on wrestling and gaming.

This week WWE gave us Bayley's return, a great introduction to Blake Monroe, and one fatal four-way I can't stop thinking about.

Here's what WWE got right this week:

One Match, One Moment, One Promo: What WWE Got Right This Week (June 10–14)

Each week, WWE throws a lot at us. I already live tweet my reactions and chaotic hopes during the show, so now on top of that I’m going to be writing a once a week post recapping the three standout…

I am the worst Digimon fan because I’m awful at keeping up with things, but I’m playing Cyber Sleuth right now!

This is different, but I'm now looking for work in the gaming/sports/wrestling writing world, I've started a new blog.

This is an intro and a story about Call of Duty on the Switch 2

I’ve really wanted a Tiffany Stratton auto for a while, and I have my eye on a few other particular cards, but I had to pull the trigger on this one.

Hey y’all. my life took a few turns so it’s been a while.

And you all know I love sharing my @RealIslaDawn cards. This design especially was one I really wanted and I was glad to get a great deal on this /99.

It’s quite literally the middle of the night but I had a big idea a couple days ago and I’m starting on that journey so I made a change to my bio on here with an important update….

Stephan Starnes / Darkstar Shady @darkstarshady.bsky.social · Mar 2

I feel like I’m gonna lose my mind with the way WWE and Peacock stream each PLE. Having a separate post-show stream while CONTINUING IT ON THE MAIN SHOW STREAM is absurd. having to wait HOURS after the event ends is painful when I couldn’t start live because I had to work.

I had to wait almost two weeks with this card “in transit” to add it to my PC! I don’t see many listings for this Candice LeRae online but it’s such a good one.

This one is decently priced to have a graphics card. I prefer the HP Victus line, but I can’t find one on a good deal right now

This isn’t bad for old stuff, but not a lot of graphics power for more modern games. It should be okay for really light things

Are you doing only older games or would you do anything slightly more modern?

Hi, hello, hey. If you wanna message me an idea of price range you wanna stay in I could probably give you a few options once i’m done making dinner!

I’m glad Isla Dawn made it into the Topps Chrome set! Had to add her to my collection, since I shared my Select auto /49 a few weeks ago.

Welp, Isla Dawn, Sonya Deville and Blair Davenport were all in my pc, so if anyone is trying to let their cards go cheap after the releases, DM me. Super bummed to see them all released, especially since Blair never got a real shot on the main roster!

Sneaking in under the wire… finally added a Natalya auto to my PC! And a 2024 mojo /25 to go along with it!

Things I want: Tiffany Stratton and Stephanie McMahon autographed cards for my PC.

Things I don’t have: $200-$3000 to spend per card.

I didn’t expect much since I only ordered a few, but I had a great hit on my Topps Now Rhea Ripley championship win!

Numbered 01/25 Rhea Ripley! Ridiculously happy and excited about this pull!

Not sure if anyone here is collecting cards on Topps Slam but it’s stupid and addicting and i have some higher rarity cards to trade!

Stephan Starnes / Darkstar Shady @darkstarshady.bsky.social · Jan 22

I don’t remember when I got this, and honestly I’ve never heard of HC Grading. Probably overpaid but, but it’s a pretty card for PC so I don’t mind the slab for protection.

Very late night/technically very early #WrestlingCardWednesday, but right now it’s a digital edition!

Topps Slam (re)released today and I already completed the base tier 3 for this Giulia award card, and traded for some older Candice LeRae cards!

I owe a picture for last week too, so here’s two!

My Isla Dawn auto numbered /49 came in from eBay! Plus I pulled these two prizms back to back last night! It felt fitting to share them together
