I once chased a bear. I need a place to dump my thoughts on AEW, sports, and the hell that the United States has become.

"Bluesky is a liberal echo chamber" is the dumbest possible response to people leaving X. We simply don't want to hear from bigots & racists & trolls anymore. That's not an echo chamber; that's what a proper society should be.

The one we get starts, "Attention DC Cops" or something like that. It's so disgusting. Airs all day during every sport I watch.

Does the ad you see include a city name at the start or just generic? There is a nationwide campaign too, but if you're in a certain city (like me in DC) you get pounded by them day & night.

My mother is helping to organize where she lives in a red state, so I really don't think we need to do purity tests for massive public demonstrations of freedom. Find one & get out there.

These guys are terrified of the numbers that are going to turn out on Saturday, and that's all the more reason to put down your "wine mom protest" objections and join them.

I know Vince Russo is lying, but John Cena in AEW would actually be super interesting. He could work new venues like Tokyo Dome or Arena Mexico or Wembley & new opponents like Okada or Omega. Won't happen, still fun to ponder.

tell me about it

It's crazy the Titans did it too, as we all watched the Bears screw up Caleb. As a Jets fan, jealous again of the Pats.

Takeshita just won the IWGP title because Tony Khan allowed him to sign a dual AEW contract, which has also eased DDT-NJPW tensions. This pro wrestling war is so far beyond ticket sales right now (which is exactly why WWE wants fans to focus on ticket sales because they can win that battle)

It truly doesn't matter if AEW sells 2k or 3k tickets to an episode of Dynamite. Especially with a ppv on Saturday that is 100x more important. There has to be something better to discourse as fans, please.

Kudos to the Titans for making the exact same mistake as the Bears & wasting the rookie season of a #1 pick. You got to start with a fresh coach in that spot.

Brian Callahan finishes with a 4-19 record in less than two seasons in charge of the Titans.

Tennessee is the first team to make a coaching change in 2025.

NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law

this is the article I saw last week. Austin isn't listed but 3 other cities in Texas are: www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

ICE spends millions on ads to recruit police for mass deportation efforts

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is spending millions of dollars on TV recruitment ads targeting officers frustrated by local restrictions on immigration enforcement.

It's based on location I believe. Because I live in DC and I get ICE ads watching everything. A story last week said they rolled the ads out on 10-12 metro markets.

Aaron Wolf did 2 throws & I was already fantasy booking him vs Takeshita in the Tokyo Dome for January 2027.

RefuseResist 🤼 @refuseresist2.bsky.social · 2h

I can see why NJPW is high on him.

From the clips I seen he looked awesome

Aaron Wolf has the look & the name. He clearly has the athletic ability. All the potential possble. So why is NJPW sticking him with EVIL to start??? Don't Iike that, at all.

There's 0% chance they'll be the first champs. But I bet the 1st champs beat them in the tournament.

I read a review of WWE Crown Jewel that started with a recommendation to watch big shows the next day so you can skip all the ads & filler. Sounds like hot garbage for something you paid to watch. Another reason AEW ppvs are far superior.

For pro wrestling fans, there's one obvious answer.

There really is no current TNA product. They're doing & saying what they're told, with Hardys/Dudleys as the nostalgia match needed for WWE to paper the building.

Fats Falafel @fatsfalafel.bsky.social · 3h

It seems like a ton of people left after the Hardys/Dudleys match. That says way more about their current product than anything.

Let's goooooo!!! Step 1 complete.

Takeshita is the best wrestler in the world & should be IWGP champ for a year or two. It would be good long-term for AEW, too, if he did NJPW full-time for a bit. A fan can dream.
