Apparently it's supposed to be unscripted Olympic style wrestling, but with pro wrestling style pageantry.

Honestly just seems like a dumb idea regardless, even before you get to Hogan and Bischoff's involvement blurring the lines (and I bet Bischoff turns it into a work as soon as it becomes clear it's not working as a shoot, if it even lasts that long).

Apparently the people who started this whole thing were doing it as a publicity stunt promoting a crypto coin. So if it wasn't already bad enough....

No, they were about facts not caring about your feelings. Where their feelings are involved, it's the opposite; their feelings don't care about facts.

I said this country is filled with slavery apologists like you, not that you, yourself, were here. It hardly matters where you, personally, are.

And for someone who thinks slavery is horrible, you're sure trying very hard to carry water for someone trying to insist it wasn't. I'm going to be very generous and assume you don't fully know who or what you're white knighting here, but if that's the case, you really should butt out now.

I've been told we have too many limes, so it should balance out.

The problem is, this country is filled with slavery apologists like you. The only reason we have to keep reminding people how terrible slavery was is because people like you keep trying to normalize it, and it's fucking gross.

Yeah, that is what I meant. No idea how those songs got crossed in my head. Thanks!

What are the chances TK scores the rights to use Like a Virgin?

[-] ImADifferentBird 5 points 3 days ago

I thought AEW was done with this kind of thing.

If they want out and the company doesn't have plans to use them, they should just let them go. This kind of thing is just petty and pathetic.

[-] ImADifferentBird 6 points 4 days ago

I mean, it's not just UFC that has a history of this kind of thing. WWE has been doing this stuff since before it was called WWE.

This isn't even the first time they've tried to counter-program AEW; remember when Dynamite started and NXT suddenly became a TV product to run against it?

[-] ImADifferentBird 22 points 4 days ago

True. Basically the same sinister bullshit they're pulling with denying due process to people being put in the concentration camps (and I'm done mincing words, that's what they are).

[-] ImADifferentBird 8 points 4 days ago

Bingo. There is nothing WWE hates more than a competitive landscape that favors the workers.

Ugh. Rey, why?

Just posted on AEW's YouTube today. Wonder if they're hinting at something. Or somebody.

Guess she's a groundbreaker in more ways than one.

EDIT - Someone else on Bluesky pointed out that the show might not be that new, and is just being rereleased under CC license now. So I removed the word "new" from the headline.

Apparently he's going to be a dual contract guy, working for both AEW and CMLL, like Mox and Jericho have done in the past for NJPW.

Congrats to everyone's favorite big tiddy wizard! (Sorry, Julia)
