Its wild how some folk (her haters) firmly believe Mercedes Mone has some hold over companies, like she's forcing them to put their belts on her.

Whether they like it or not, a wrestler of her calibre is a wanted commodity. You'd be dumb not to book her now that she's readily available.

I wasn't too sure about the pairing of Brody King and Bandido, but they've won me over.
Brody rallying Bandido on with "KEEP FIGHTING!" is the kind of positive masculinity we need in today's media.

Hopefully a few kids are taking those words to heart, too.

It's true. I couldn't find an appropriate gif from Outlaw Star, so Ryoko had to do.

Her weapon here looks lightsabery.

Who's your favourite Jedi (wrong answers only)?

Luke Abbott @lawrites.bsky.social · 6d

Not gonna lie, I miss this guy.

SANADA quickly became one of my favourites when I started watching 8yrs ago; from tag champion, to singles star, to having the longest IWGP World Championship reign in the company, to...a House of Torture lackey.

I pray he returns to the light someday.

Love it! Macho Man was never afraid to show his emotions. A great role model.

Seeing too many books with AI covers being advertised on Amazon, and Spotify.

If you used an AI cover did you use AI to write it, as well? This is the problem AI poses for consumers wanting an authentic piece of work in their hands.

AI shouldn't be a substitute for talent.

It's about damn time austerity was called out! It's done more harm to this country than any immigrant; increased child poverty, increased food banks and a drastic decline in physical and mental health, all thanks to David Cameron and the Tories back in 2010.

Please, for the love of God, #VoteGreen.

“You can’t blame austerity on one hand, but then say it’s the immigrants. The immigrants haven’t caused austerity.”

"I can't believe what I'm seeing". Me neither 😝

Now I know why they only do promos for these AI parodies. Maybe in a few years the fights will look realistic, and connect.

What?! MLK Jr joined the nWo? That feels all kinds of wrong 😝

I remember when this came out, roughly the same time as Pitch Black. For some reason Ghosts of Mars was panned by critics, while Pitch Black was praised, even though both movies are pretty similar.

I haven't seen it but it looked alright to me.

It was always gonna be hard taking the reins of #AEW Women's World Champion off of Toni Storm, but Kris Statlander should be more than up for the task, given her successful run as TBS Champion in the past.

That belt really does suit her.

You can't celebrate 6yrs of #AEWDynamite without mentioning the man who helped get them to the level they're at now.
Love him, hate him, you can't deny his star power brought many eyes to the product.

Thank you, Chris Jericho and Happy 6 years to #AEW.

Just in time for the movie next year. Smart move, Nintendo.

20yrs. Can't believe its been that long since the first one was released.

I didn't have much faith in the first movie being good, but I was pleasantly surprised. Here's hoping this is, too.

Luke Abbott @lawrites.bsky.social · 24d

Yes, that or butterflies.

#AEW is finally at a position to introduce a tag team division for the women on their roster.
This'll not only give more opportunities for the women, but also get those who've been absent back on TV.

Just wish the belts looked different than the Men's.

No other TV show had caught my imagination quite like Buffy, and I feel no other show will ever again.
A mixed blend of genres with witty dialogue, memorable characters and relatable stories, with a healthy batch of monsters.

It was everything to me; a real source of comfort
