Knowing The Young Bucks, $32.17 might be an actual booking fee they got paid early in their careers that they’re still mad about. #AEW

I once worked in a fitness center where a patron complained the pool was too cold. I walked to the other end of the pool and someone complained it was too warm. I then walked back to my office and did nothing because that meant it was exactly the right temperature. That’s Mox vs Darby. #AEW

Since Mercedes has the TBS title record now and she’s doing an open challenge on PPV it could make for a pretty big moment to have it be Athena and have Athena win. Could then build to a rubber match with them being 1-1. #AEW

Imagine seeing that Hangman video and thinking AI could ever produce a story with a fraction of that raw emotion in the wrestling world. Only the company that killed the man we are all crying about right now could ever even think of doing such a thing. #AEW

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 2d

I feel like the lead is even further buried because people want to dunk on Paul. This new guy is heading AI AND working for the White House. Who knows what he is actually doing. Take away how terrible the AI part is, those two jobs should have nothing to do with each other.

Psychotronic Fanzine @fanzine.bsky.social · 2d

People are burying the lead on the WWE/AI stuff. "Kowsari said he would both manage AI storytelling and be a liaison to the White House as Levesque is taking on more duties in politics in some form. "

Jurassic Elite vs Don Callis Family. I think there’s been enough team AEW vs Death Riders.

All Elite Central @allelitecentral.com · 3d

As expected, Tony Khan essentially confirmed that there will be two Blood and Guts matches next month in Greensboro, NC.

Women's Blood and Guts and Team Darby vs Death Riders?

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 4d

I fear a lot of wrestling fans are a little too caveman brained to appreciate segments like that Mox and Darby one. If it doesn’t end in a played out hockey fight, they have no idea how to react. A similar segment killed JetSpeed’s momentum leading up to All In too. #AEW

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 4d

Jack has rarely spoken as a baby face, I’m not sure there’s a lot to read into as far as him turning back heel. I think he may just be in the process of finding his new voice/character. #AEW

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 4d

I think the Golden Lovers pivot is going to be the Jurassic Elite. #AEW

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 4d

I can only imagine that after the plastic bag spot got so much attention last year, Mox has been trying to figure out how to top it. Whatever he came up with is definitely happening on Saturday. #AEW

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 4d

Kansas City, please keep your shitty racist Chiefs chants off my television tonight. I beg you. #AEW

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 4d

I really hope Nigel and Bryan are on commentary together for DG and Yuta’s match. #AEW

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 5d

Ticket sales discourse rarely takes into account the absolute hellscape of an economy the average American is in right now. I’ve already made the decision not to attend any shows in 2026 and that decision has nothing to do with AEW. No amount of marketing is going to give me more disposable income.

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 6d

This is why most of my play throughs involve passing by his portal and going, “That looks toxic, we shouldn’t touch it.” and moving on.

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 6d

“Mystra groomed him” is about the only valid argument I’ve seen for thinking Gale isn’t a total asshole, but the game never really comes out and says that.

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah seems like the easiest dots to connect. Or a new tag partner to face Alexander and another DCF member. I just hope they don’t keep him off the show now in order to build a new match for Full Gear. (Selfishly hoping since I’m going to Wrestle Dream)

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 6d

Excited for TK’s potential crazy Kenny WD match announcement. It’s gotta happen right? Plans derailed right before the show typically leads to him looking at the available roster and just booking the best possible in ring match. Singles vs Josh? Surprise tag partner? THE POSSIBILITIES #AEW

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 6d

The main event better be Toru Yano vs New Jersey’s Orange Cassidy.

The Young Bucks will now be playing the part of disgruntled wrestlers that TK didn’t hire. #AEW

Tom, the water is boiling and we’re leaving you in the pot to argue with the other lobsters about whether it is or not.

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

shane @mouthfulofcavities.bsky.social · 15d

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 17d

Holy shit did you just come back to this exactly 2 hours later to check the engagement on a fucking BLUESKY post?

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 18d

Bringing a Samuel L Jackson “SAY WHAT AGAIN MOTHER FUCKER” sign to every future AEW event.

The Don Callis family needs a good ending and the AEW Originals finally removing Don from TV would be a bigger celebration than most title wins.

AEW bot @aewbot.bsky.social · 18d

EXCLUSIVE: With Andrade’s surprise return and Clon’s debut, Don Callis Family grows stronger than ever.

Who can stop them?

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 18d

Same, with how well AEW has been working with other promotions I gotta think Takeshita vs Okada in the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 20 is a match big enough to break some traditions.

Vorian Rose @vorianrose.bsky.social · 18d

I’m so interested in Takeshita’s next few months. He could potentially be main eventing the Tokyo Dome while simultaneously feuding with Okada in AEW. With the C2 ending only a week before it, Takeshita is either going to have an awkward loss somewhere, or have the most dominant run of all time.
