Charlie Thesz should’ve ended the segment with “And for the record, my husband DID talk to 12 year old Tony Khan on AIM, you nerds!”. #AEWWrestleDream

AEW truly bringing the WCW homage with the pyro going off in middle of a match XD (Complimentary)

So Sam Rivers - bassist of Limp Bizkit - has passed suddenly. 2025 man with musicians...

Not YET. I've wanted that plus merging Countdown with the panel show since they showed the same videos anyway.

Yeah. Gigli. The only thing people remember from it.

Again I'd merge @aewontv.bsky.social Countdown and Zero Hour panel into one show to be posted on Youtube the day before the PPV and make the Tailgate Brawl free globally the hour before the show. Stops the 'wait where are the matches?' confusion the hr before PPV.

I hope Avenged Sevenfold are made aware of the vice-president using Hail to The King for some AI bollocks - get those C&Ds ready.

Pretty proud of this - and yes I am planning to start February on Monday (Tomorrow is doing AEW from this week so look out for that!)

So I've been exhaustively going through as much wrestling from January 2025 as possible to start catching up on the first half of 2025 - here's what I consider the best from January 2025 - featuring Lucha, puro, deathmatches, southern style, joshi and more: open.substack.com/pub/theharve...

THE HARVEST OF WRESTLING: JANUARY 2025

So since I came back pretty much as the second half of 2025 to writing/talking about wrestling after a few years away I felt it was only right to catch up on the first half - and yes for the purposes ...

Well I've pretty much admitted defeat on being able to follow anyone on IG for now - keeps turning to requested whenever I try. No strikes on account and have reported the problem NUMEROUS TIMES. If you want to follow me however - same name on there as on here.

What’s happened here is that a well-known fascist crackpot with media connections has declared that he is a representative of a sizeable community, and Sky News stampeded him onto TV barely giving a fuck who he is or what he’s about, because he’s saying the things they want to hear.

Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.

This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

Sometimes I think of that Punk fan getting annoyed at people doing the Seth whoa stuff after Summerslam... and it always cheers me up XD

So tomorrow I'll be posting on the Substack all the matches I rated from January of 2025 and it's a nice mix of puro, joshi,
deathmatches, southern style (Action/TWE), AEW and to my shock one NXT match I ACTUALLY liked (Yes - for the catch up I'm even going there.)

You mean the necklace below? Apparently she pulled it from sale now.

Taylor Swift is on the left in a black and red dress while on the right is a necklace that has lightning bolts that to a fair few look very SSish...

Firstly excellent pun work and secondly - feeling even greater seeing you on the timeline!

So Prince Andrew is giving up all royal titles, including the 'Earl of Inverness' after discussion with the King... which begs the question - what's in Virginia's book? Just a shame she is no longer here to see the end of Andrew using being royalty to wriggle out of things.

If only this Labour government was “doing everything” to end child poverty — instead of bending over backwards for racist football hooligans and the genocidal apartheid state of Israel it sells arms to.
