Can definitively state that my life would be different without @giantbomb.bsky.social. The site got me deeper into video games and introduced me to pro wrestling, indirectly leading to the creation of Scorpion Death Talk.

Last week I wrote an article about how the style of wrestling across NA is becoming increasingly homogenized. This week, #TNA announced that they are banning blading, in an attempt to get a TV deal/make their partners happy. I hope this article doesn't become even more relevant as time goes by!

Ended my brief hiatus from writing to talk about WWE & TKO's aggressive strategy to increase their market share in recent months leading to the acquisition of AAA. This strategy, if followed to WWE's desired conclusion, could further homogenize the style of pro wrestling. #WWE

today I wrote about WWE buying Lucha Libre AAA, a story I assume I will be writing about for the rest of the time I am writing thecubsfan.com/cmll/u74u

It's a bummer to see Tetsuya Naito leave #NJPW, but I get it. In 2025, Naito has worked 39 matches, second behind Tanahashi. In 2024, he worked 134 matches, second behind BUSHI. The guy has been putting his body on the line and they couldn't come to an agreement on # of dates and pay, I'm assuming.

My gut tells me that the best thing to do is a multi-match series, culminating with a big match at All In where Athena finally overcomes Mercedes to win her first AEW title in her home state. Waiting to do the match at All In, and having Athena win the first one there, would be less meaningful.

Something that Homicide doesn't get nearly enough credit for, and that I honestly had no idea about until GCW ran that 25th anniversary show for him in 2019: A LOT of his students were kids he trained for free or cheap as a way of keeping them off the streets.

Tonight's #AEW Dynamite was my favorite episode of the show in some time, with great in-ring work throughout and meaningful storyline progression. My review:

In celebration of @speedballbailey.bsky.social’s AEW debut last night, I made a list of 5 Speedball matches that are free to watch on YouTube. Check it out if you’ve never seen them wrestle (or want to revisit these great matches)!

Happy 3yr anniversary to @rjcity.bsky.social's and @allelitewrestling.com's Hey! (EW)! On March 13, 2022 the first episode was posted. 130 episodes later, the show is still going strong each Sunday. ICYMI, I made a list of my top 10 episodes. Feel free to tell me how wrong I am if you disagree lol

Tonight's AEW Dynamite was dense and full of a ton of storyline development. The in-ring content wasn't as much of a focus, but it did feature a great debut performance from Speedball Mike Bailey in their match against The Beast Mortos. My review:

Attended AEW Revolution on Sunday. Will likely post a full review on the site at some point this week, but that was easily one of the best wrestling shows I’ve ever been to despite the bad main event. Will never forget seeing that Toni/Mariah match live.

A fun go-home show has #AEW in a great position heading into Revolution on Sunday. My review:

#Stardom under Taro Okada has been about taking big swings. The company might be taking their biggest yet in the lead up to next month’s big All Star Grand Queendom event and I’m very invested.

AEW has done such a great job this year at making Collision feel just as important as Dynamite. Fun card. (Side note: this is the first televised match between FTR & KOR/Strong somehow. They had two house show matches in NXT)

Might have to update the top 10 list after this one!

If I had to pick a wrestler of the year so far, it would be Konosuke Takeshita. Wrestled Orange Cassidy on #AEW on Wednesday, then flew over to Mexico to have another fantastic showing with Angel de Oro at #CMLL tonight. Did I mention he's wrestling Kenny Omega in a little over a week?

This week's #AEW Dynamite, which I was lucky enough to see in person, continued a strong run of shows. Review is up now. Read down to the bottom for a few words about what it was like to see #CMLL legend Blue Panther for the first time in his ROH debut.

Attended #AEW last night. Was an awesome show. What I’ll never forget is seeing Blue Panther wrestle live on #ROH. He had such an unreal connection with the crowd and spent a ton of time before and after the match walking around, shaking hands and taking pics with fans. A true legend

Hey! (EW), @rjcity.bsky.social's #AEW interview show and some of the funniest content in the wrestling space, has its three year anniversary in a few weeks. In celebration, I made a list of ten episodes that I feel encapsulate the show's variety and sense of humor. Let me know if I missed your fav!

24 hours later and I might still be thinking about that Megan Bayne vs. Kris Statlander match. As short as it was, it was a fantastic proof of concept for those two wrestling like 15 times. Immediate in-ring chemistry #AEW

After a few missteps early in the year, Dynamite continued its stellar build towards Revolution on Wednesday night. @hangmanpage.bsky.social and MJF featured in one of my all time favorite #AEW in-ring promo segments.

#AEW has really turned it up the last 3 weeks or so after a bit of a below-average start to the year. I feel invested in the show at a level I haven't in quite some time. Time allocated to the best storylines, hot crowds, great matches. A promising sign for the rest of 2025

Wrote about how the ROH Pure Championship run of @theleemoriarty.bsky.social is one of my favorite in wrestling right now. Check it out if you like nerding out about rope breaks and in-ring storytelling like I do lol #AEW #ROH

Nice to see someone like Josh Alexander get his first major deal with #AEW after years of hard work. He would’ve been great wherever he ended up, and obviously there are a ton of fun matches to look forward to for him there.

I didn't think #TJPW could top my favorite show of last year, Grand Princess 2024, but I think they might prove me wrong. The company is setting up another show of the year candidate with next month's GP25. Miu/Willow, Arisu Endo/Suzume, the tag titles match and Mizuki/Rika are all must watch..
