Well, that really helps my editorial for Bodyslam/Substack:

Confirmation.

I need to get this off my chest because, is it bad I care so much for these people I see on television weekly as if I know them personally when they don't know I even fucking exist?

That's to be answered someday, but idk.

I was thinking of Wardlow too. It’s sucked so much for him.

I think you’re right. They really do.

You should, whatever helps keep them in line.

Kylie vacated the Women’s ID Championship on 9/22 & was informed today that they weren’t renewing her contract. As Mike Gilbert said on the other app, the contract should’ve been paused.

A screenshot from WWE ID’s Twitter stating the WWE ID Women’s Championship is now vacant. They congratulated & thanked Kylie. The tweet was posted at 8:24 PM ET on 9/22/25.

Not renewing the contract of a pregnant wrestler is an awful look.

The South Carolina senator behind SB 323 says his bill wouldn't outlaw birth control.

But we found a pamphlet he wrote that says “all forms of the birth control pill” kill a “human being.”

NEW: Cops in Texas told 404 Media in May they used Flock to find a woman who self-administered an abortion out of concern for her safety.

Documents now show police were conducting a “death investigation” and discussed whether they could charge her with a crime: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Yeah, I agree with that too. Those wrestlers definitely have struggled but it just feels like a dark energy that clings to Kota.

holyschip.bsky.social @holyschip.bsky.social · 1d

Mark Davis has had a rough couple of years but still, I don’t think it’s been worse than Kota. Poor Kota. ☹️

Agreed. I’d love to see more of Lacey Lane in AEW.

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 2d

I should’ve guessed Lacey Lane would answer Mercedes’ challenge since she faced Mina for the interim Women’s TV Title last week. That was a great match. #AEWDynamite #WrestleSky 🤼

Saw the vague tweet about Ronda. If it’s about wrestling & not UFC, the women’s divisions in both companies would eat her alive; particularly AEW’s. They can’t hide her flaws the way WWE tried before.
