So, if you’re an AEW fan, I researched online when “shoulder seasons” are for US cities. Shoulder seasons are when airfare and hotels are at their cheapest. The shoulder seasons are April, May, September & October. If there’s a PPV during those times, that’s a good time to travel.

The fact that AEW is providing content exclusively for the Sickos on Bluesky makes this company worthy of my support!

AEW On TV @aewontv.bsky.social · 1d

Exclusive NYCC panel content only on our Bluesky....

Starting today...

You don't say...

I think that’s when The Opps turn full heel

If Hangman costs The Opps the Trios titles tonight, that is going to fuel Samoa Joe going into WrestleDream, which is a good thing for the match. #AEW

TK: *sigh* It took me all night, but I believe I have a WrestleDream card that the Sickos will love!

HBK: TNA, we need your roster to counterprogram AEW, we’re putting the NXT titles on The Hardys because people know they’re better than Brody King and *insert Mexican and Japanese slurs here*

I got to see Adam Page opening up the briefcase and bringing back the AEW Championship live at All In Texas

Bryan Danielson will be the laughter you hear in the background ala Michael Brooks

Sam Seder is going to cut a promo telling Dustin Rhodes to get out of his ring because his court told him it was his ring and the entire audience will laugh hysterically like Michael Brooks

At AEW WrestleDream, Sam Seder faces Dustin Rhodes in the first ever libertarian debate in a wrestling ring with a 30 minute time limit!

That's exactly the same thing Glen Jacobs said before he became a mayor and look how that turned out

As long as AEW keeps calling themselves the authentic pro wrestling promotion, they're going to get a leg up on them.

Tis to be expected from a member of the Rhodes family. A family that has supported the White working class man but if you were of any other color, forget it. His father imitated a Black man his whole career and his baby brother was at a Trump rally. Not to mention he tried to end racism in AEW.

Sam Seder: The idea that CM Punk said he didn’t physically assault Jack Perry in AEW, when there’s clearly security cam footage of him doing it, is ABSURD.

KARMA @karmathemetal.bsky.social · 1d

Which I was surprised at since they advertised it for the PPV

KARMA @karmathemetal.bsky.social · 1d

2300 Arena shows provided a different atmosphere. It’s just getting accustomed to them being back on the road again. Plus, there’s social media and people getting influenced by people’s posts without realizing it and that can change perception easily.

It makes sense given he has a DC show on HBO MAX

KARMA @karmathemetal.bsky.social · 1d

The term to use that will hit is “Parrots”. That and drawing them in the style of political cartoons.

In an alternate universe, AEW is being booked by The Sandman. He books MJF and Mark Briscoe to win the same Casino Gauntlet match. The final match between Omega and Okada goes to a no contest after The Rascalz attack both of them. Adam Page wins the title from Eric Young in an empty venue.

Good example: Beast Mortos

He loses all the time and yet people love him because he puts on a clinic with the winners

KARMA @karmathemetal.bsky.social · 1d

And there are even more heels he can wrestle:

Megan Bayne
Thekla
Athena
Mercedes Moné

AEW just needs to pull the trigger

This oversimplifies things, AEW currently partners with STN Digital & their strategy is to get excitement for shows through social media campaigns and reaching out to newer fans through HBO MAX. Their strategy is less local and more digital. And the results have been a slow success for AEW in 2025.
