Hangman is the heart and soul of AEW. How apropos would it be for him to win the Owen Hart tournament when it was the late superstar's brother, Bret, who shared the ring with Page at the inaugural #AEWDoN back in 2019?

As someone who has to be up at 4:30 in the morning for the day gig tomorrow, I, for one, am overly enthused that this trios match is on the card. #AEWDoN

Nothing has come close to touchding Mercedes-Hayter yet, but this has been a fun show to this point. #AEWDoN

After eating knees with the SSP earlier in the match, you would have thought Bailey would have taken less time to set up the finish. Alas, he did not and totally earned that dropkick and Rainmaker as a result. #AEWDoN

The E missed out by not just letting Ricochet be a douchebag. #AEWDoN

Imagine thinking Mone isn't as great as she tells us she is. A total all-timer. #AEWDoN

Check out Doc's interview with Will Ospreay ahead of tonight's #AEWDON!

Went to Fan Expo Philly tonight and grabbed this blast from the past!

Imagine telling the ghost of Pete Rose that he can't be in the Hall of Fame but the president can accept a $400 mil jet from foreign nations.

A look back at six matches from the late, great Sabu, who left an indelible mark on professional wrestling over his 40-year career.

The NBA is halfway there.

Terry Brunk, a professional wrestler known to fans as Sabu who pioneered the so-called hardcore style that made use of props like tables and chairs in the ring, has died, the WWE said. He was 60. Read more: nyti.ms/4dchDqJ

Tonight is the last time John Cena vs. Randy Orton headlines a WWE PLE. A decade later than we thought. Enjoy these legends doing the dance one more time. #WWEBacklash

Gotta catch up on Dynamite but if you’re a horror fan, particularly slashers, go see Clown in a Cornfield this weekend. A total blast.

Davis looks like a midwestern territory wrestler circa the 1970s, which is not a thing. A throwback. A stocky badass who can work. He should have been allowed to build on last week's performance instead of being beaten in relatively short order. #AEWDynamite

Gonna need the "Thunder Tits" T-shirt. Thanks in advance, Shop AEW.

There aren't many you can plug into the opening match and get the sort of reaction Omega got to kick off tonight's #AEWDynamite.

I've never laughed as hard as I did when I met Homicide at the height of LAX's run in TNA. Wishing the best health possible in retirement.

Very much love that Ricochet is super over as a heel based solely on being a douchey version of his bald self. #AEWDynamite

The heat on Mox isn't the heat that he, TK, or anyone else in AEW thinks it is. That was...not it.

Push Takeshita to the moon. #AEWRevolution

I have complete coverage of tonight's #AEWRevolution for Bleacher Report, including live grades and analysis of each match. Tap in, follow along, and let me know what you think about tonight's show! bleacherreport.com/articles/251...

Genuinely excited about tonight's #AEWRevolution. It feels like a return to form, with a stacked PPV card and some intriguing stories and possible outcomes to be had. A few Match of the Year candidates, too.

I’m gonna need that “MJF Did Nothing Wrong” shirt, stat. #AEWDynamite

It’s up and holy fucking shit. 🤼▶️ youtu.be/X-xYplgSBzo?...

The real main event.

Hangman vs. MJF is the emotionally fueled excellence that has defined AEW at its best. "I'm real." Sign me up. #AEWDynamite

"All of that and you can't be happy." Page is speaking like he knows what Max is feeling. #AEWDynamite

Ax and Smash were arguably better workers than their inspiration and the exposure they are about to get from this deal is long overdue.

Stay inquisitive Stay educated Stay encouraged

Hulkster's fixing to be a verse if he doesn't get Kendrick's name out of his mouth. Brother.

Let's GO! @harleycameron.bsky.social, do it for the ventriloquism fans!

I've lived through so many "unprecedented times" since 2016 that they're not unprecedented anymore. And that is more terrifying than the unprecedented times themselves.

There is NO new episode of Hey!(EW) this Sunday (Australia is fucked up). We will be back next with a less-than-stellar episode. If you can’t wait, go watch the last 130 episodes. 🤼▶️ youtube.com/playlist?lis...

President Dipshit throwing around the word “merit” like he’s ever earned or deserved anything is mighty bold.

Hangman Page doing the very human thing of facing emotions (regret, anger, disappointment, depression, frustration) in his journey through AEW has made him one of the most compelling and interesting characters in all of wrestling. Never change, Hanger.

To my nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, and otherwise off the binary friends & siblings: You are loved, you are valued, you are important to our community, you've been here longer than the tyrants, and you will still be here when their bones are dust and the names of their false gods are forgotten.

Bob Uecker is a consummate entertainer, the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers, a WWE Hall of Famer, and one of the quickest, funniest, and smartest minds. One of a kind. The word “legend” is thrown around often but it most certainly applies. RIP, Mr. Baseball. Enjoy the front row.

I don't love Page vs. Daniels, but that was a 🔥promo from Hangman. "I have decided who I will be. And I will wake up every morning and make that same decision. I would rather maim than be the man I was last year." Goosebumps.

Catching up on #AEWCollision and Cope vs. Big Bill was a TON of fun. They had wicked chemistry and while I don't love Rated FTR vs. The Learning Tree, I'd happily watch the HOFer and underrated big man run that back.

It’s 2025 and I want to see multi-generational talent Jeff Jarrett win the world title. I is sicko. Sicko is me.
