Now that it looks like Wrathlander most likely will be parting ways, can we all have a moment of silence for the assisted crash thunder buster? You were taken from us too soon, but sometimes the brightest stars burn the fastest 😭

So we're just supposed to sit here and pretend that Harley Cameron didn't admit on national television Saturday that she is not, in fact, a cat? Like I feel like my whole life is turned upside down, and we're all just twiddling our thumbs making fantasy picks for Wrestle Dream?

Someone I know has gotten in the habit of texting me Reels everyday, so now that I've stared first-hand into the gaping maw of the short form video format algorithm, I realize now it's like doing battle with a Lv. 99 Mindflayer casting a charm & brain rot AOE spell with 100 percent accuracy.

Man, we're getting dangerously close to going from 'It's a little chilly this morning' to full on 'It's freezing, and the rain blows sideways, because it's Tuesday' time of year.

Now that #AEW is experimenting with intergender tag matches, I need a Big Kaiju Shoko Nakajima & Marko Stunt tag team run. Do it for short people everywhere Tony! Throw Luchasaurus in too, if you want to make it a trios team. (Although Jungle Jack Perry is kind of short too 🤔)

TJPW is awesome. I'm pretty sure I just watched ring announcer Rise Shirai's clip board win the DDT Ironman Championship in a triple threat with Miyu Yamashita and Mahiro Kiryu. I need @eviluno.bsky.social to explain it to me like I'm five, because I'm probably missing something.

Tony finally figured out a way for me to root for those heels FTR — teaming them with Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford. I'm sorry Jet Speed and Willow Nightingale 😭

How can I choose between rooting for Triangle of Madness or Kris STRAPlander & Harley Cameron & Timeless Toni Storm? If I don't choose Triangle of Madness, they'll curse my entire bloodline, but if I don't choose Statdaddy's team, she'll send her pigeons after me.
