I still don’t know about this one. I keep flipping between work and shoot.

As context, that has been suggested to me as a therapy tool for my autism (to help with tone). Often people misunderstand my intent and react badly, so to avoid that I get stuck in an OCD loop of constantly checking if what I wrote is ok. I refuse to use AI, but that might be why someone would.

I know - I loved that so much. He also bowed to Danielson after his final match.

I’ve said it before, but one thing I love about Mox is he always looks for the kids in the crowd and makes a point to do something cool right in front of them. I’m pretty sure he is going to be responsible for a whole new generation of wrestlers.

It is definitely weird. Especially since you would know the outcome going into it.

It would be weird doing another match with Bandido’s arm. He also apologized after the CMLL match and said he wanted to do a rematch there, so if they do run it back I think it would be at CMLL.

I’m kind of with you. Something about it just isn’t working for me.

Someone tried to get into the ring in Vancouver and they were gone before I could even process what happened.

Is that the multiple chair headshot one?

They don’t control the ads.

Ugh. That really sucks. It was clear you knew what you were talking about. And it’s a very good question. I watched the CMLL match and I still don’t know if it was a work. Everyone I’ve talked to thinks it’s legit, and he seemed to be moving a little differently today.

That’s just his name, though.

They have been friends for years. Brody’s normal tag partner is out on injury, so Tony put them together and it instantly worked.

Not many people did the Jurassic Express entrance either. It’s really weird.

It’s been a few weeks now. Looks like it isn’t going anywhere, unfortunately.

AEW has been posting a lot of PPV matches on their YouTube. We are leading up to a pay per view, so it’s a good time to get into it as they usually recap the stories going into it. The community on here is also great and always willing to answer questions.

Was that tweet from someone called milflover? #AEW

Yeah, I love it when Mox does that.

backwardschart @backwardschart.bsky.social · 1d

Boo.

PAC is looking a little wet in that picture. #AEW

Now this is an AEW crowd #AEW

I’ve been enjoying it. There’s a bunch of great people on there already.

Any chance Bandido is injured enough to have to drop the belts? Or is it just a set up for Okada and Takeshita to cost each other the win.

I was originally going to suggest sitting them all down and making them actually watch some of the amazing wrestling going on now, but that would require that they still have the capacity to feel joy, which I’m not so sure about anymore.

I have an idea. We collectively buy a nursing home for all ‘those’ retired wrestlers. They take turns as guests on a ‘podcast’ that only gets played on the intercom system and there is a weekly newsletter about how Tony is killing the business /which of them definitely got an AEW offer this week.
