No idea how much overlap there is with wrestling and hockey fans but if you saw that recent NHL hype video, I thought it overlapped well with Daniel Garcia's arc.
So now this exists. #AEW #DanielGarcia

Hopefully it does mean when the fall of Mercedes Mone finally happens, she's likely going to do a world tour of failure. One of your women's talent will pin Mercedes Mone and reclaim their title. Could has the potential to be a indie multi-star maker.

They've shown injuries before on Collision/Rampage tapings.

Werner Herzog has made it clear he would disagree with you on both counts there.

Lots of AEW fans have had signs taken off them that were far more tame by venue security for one reason or another. It's a thing and that's not reflective of AEW.

Brody's "Abolish ICE" was a charity fundraiser thing he himself set up and held. If he ran it through the merch store that's the same as AEW endorsing such a policy. So people should have realised there.
Also, the security removing the sign is arena security not AEW security.

I'll be fuming if they don't send Harley down ahead of the Australia shows. Just let her lose. She'll work out how to get the word out.

It could also be good for burgening talent. Gets them some media training that could translate to promos or crowd connection.

Eighth @eighth07.bsky.social · 5d

If that's how they're running it right now then he's right. AEW should let talent do more interviews, especially to promote upcoming shows. It's a net benefit for them and the talent.

Eighth @eighth07.bsky.social · 5d

Makes sense. Nothing wrong with wanting a short list.

Eighth @eighth07.bsky.social · 5d

Asking genuinely and not as a confrontation, what are you watching clips for if the wrestling isn't doing it for you?

Eighth @eighth07.bsky.social · 6d

No to either.

Happy 4th annual National Scissoring Day to all who celebrate, except for Max Caster ✌🏽

Great set up #CMLL

I thought he was just weaker and accepted it until the Okada match at All In. He could do more but that was the story.

Thinking about it, unveiling the Women's Tag Titles around the 6yr anniversary highlights how the Women's division has grown. Originals and newcomers put in the work so that the division was in a better place than it was last year.
And that's truly phenominal to pull that off 6 years running. #AEW

Eighth @eighth07.bsky.social · 10d

Catching up on Collision. So curious where they're taking this Bowens/Caster story but can't believe they're making me watch a Blake Christian match for it. Good to see Lee Johnson though.

My bet is she'll be looking to move into the tag division. Loved the Toni title runs but there's nobody to match her aura and it'll cast a shadow of she stays in the singles division.
And it gives the new tag division the most attention as it starts up.

Eighth @eighth07.bsky.social · 16d

Oh, they really do think playing second fiddle to WWE makes them second. That's kind of sad.

Eighth @eighth07.bsky.social · 16d

My dream pick? Riho and Yuka.
My realistic guess? Coin toss between Penelope/Bayne and TayJay.
Wild card? Athena and Mercedes.

Now that Orange Cassidy is back, we can begin the countdown for the Cassidy vs Hechicero match. #AEW

First I heard about it so thanks for signal boosting. Skimmed some of those texts just now and she's a real piece. I somehow bet a woman being the alleged abuser is also why more aren't talking about it.

Eighth @eighth07.bsky.social · 20d

You and me both. I saw so many since All Out, I thought I might have misremembered and had to scroll through cagematch to be sure.
Honestly, pretty stellar year so far.
