Just finished this sucker.

Thoughts on @whatculturewwe.bsky.social soon.

48 hours removed from WrestleDream, my one big take has nothing to do with show length of violence or any of that jazz.

It's that Sting has never looked cooler than in his 2025 Gandalf era.

Kyle Fletcher vs. Mark Briscoe was EXCELLENT. A pairing I can always rely on.

Tailgate Brawl is a great concept. A pre-show is supposed to inspire last-minute buys. I can't think of a better way to do that than with FTR vs. JetSpeed: one of the most foolproof match-ups in AEW.

Hello! Haven't signed in here in ages.

Enjoy me and Adam shooting hard on Ticketmaster.

If further proof was needed that X/Twitter was a terrorist entity, it has been feeding me nonstop SLEEP TOKEN content for about three months. 🤮

2025 has been a fantastic year for WhatCulture Wrestling so far.

Shout-outs to our whole team and everyone who supports us.

Wrestling is so silly and it's a pleasure to be able to talk about it for a living.

Diablo 4 rocks. Everyone who told me it did not rock sucks.

I gave the new Spiritbox a spin, trying to be less of a washed, out-of-touch old head. Not my cup of tea but Soft Spine is pretty hard. Fair play.

I've been very impressed with Ricochet's willingness to make himself look like the least cool guy in the room since turning. He's willing to look like a total jackass, leaning into his natural awkwardness. It's making for some good fiction. Cool Guy Efed Heels are overdone.

Monthly plug!

Training is going well. I am hyper focused on making the most of this and raising as much as possible, to help people in my Dad's situation and support potentially life-changing heart research.

If you can spare anything, I appreciate you.

On what would've been my Dad's 74th birthday, I wanted to share some words on Hirooki Goto vs. ZSJ, connection, & reclaiming the things grief takes from you.

This match was an incredibly personal experience for me & has actually helped me process a lot of things.

I wish NJPW/TV Asahi weren't so gung-ho with copyright strikes. I'd love to make a video essay on how encouraged I am by the current product, the young core's growth, the catharsis of Goto's win, the return of Caveman Style.

Let me talk about your wrestling shows!

I will not rest until every AEW match takes place in this exact ring.

I'm feeling *great* about AEW at the moment. TV has been consistently strong for weeks and Grand Slam Australia hit with me. Revolution looks like it's going to have an out-of-this-world lineup. Tony Khan is back in the weeds doing what he does best. Keep it going!

I don't think it was worth being upset over, though I think they could have avoided any criticism by using clearer marketing from day one. It worked out in the end. One of the most successful money-making shows in AEW history. Thanks for reading!

I felt inspired, so I put down some thoughts on AEW Grand Slam Australia, focusing more on booking implications and match breakdowns. Thoughts on Harley Cameron's push, Kyle Fletcher's development, Tony "in the weeds", and more.

A very good show.

Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher and four-time Women's Champion Toni Storm highlight a big night, with big implications for the above and more.

I know the results but I cannot WAIT to get home and watch Goto vs. ZSJ in full. The power of a feel-good story.

It is impossible to listen to Hatebreed and feel bad. Low-key the most uplifting band of all time.

Thank you so much to anyone who has donated, shared, or offered words of support. I didn't envision having to triple the target in just four days due to your generosity and I am beyond grateful.

It's a fantastic cause and your support is driving me to do this. 🙏

Hello friends. After losing my Dad to a heart attack last year, I am running a half-marathon raising funds for the British Heart Foundation in Sept.

2024 sucked, so let's make something positive.

If you've got anything to spare, I'd be very grateful.
