Hi! 😊💖✊️

mettledmoxie.bsky.social•100 days ago

Thank you for sharing this. I needed that spark!

kairosion.bsky.social•99 days ago

I'm with ya. Has been a breath of fresh air over here.

machokun.bsky.social•100 days ago

Protect your peace! We should've moved on a long time ago.
I'm more excited than I have been in forever... and anytime I come online, we're all just vibing.

deadangles.bsky.social•100 days ago

Truly you deserve it, can’t wait to see what you bring forward.

jodyjamieson.bsky.social•100 days ago

While I still think AEW has some improving to do to reach the heights of 2021 and 2022, it’s eye opening now how much Twitter can both exhaust you and brainwash you into thinking it’s worse than it is.

mattdoc32.bsky.social•100 days ago

yup and i am doing my best to recruit some more great people like i messaged nattie

venicebellamy.bsky.social•99 days ago

I have ideas for 2 stories. I'd been stuck since summer.

joelhaywood.bsky.social•100 days ago

That's exactly it. The "Over there" algorithm was designed to get an emotional charge out of you. Energy Vampires dominated the space.

Here we're just excited to discuss the product. and share the "mostly good" as opposed to hyper defending the parts that could be better but are ok.

varitsvq.bsky.social•99 days ago

That first paragraph is so full of truth! 🙌🏻

soyokaze524.bsky.social•100 days ago

I commend your astute positivity. The other place became unbearable with the bots and toxicity. Keep spreading the positive vibes for the wrestling community.

maxwellz.bsky.social•100 days ago

That and Hanger being back on social media helps

craig44.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yourself and Andy have done wonders for this wrestling space. 👏

nemox2001.bsky.social•100 days ago

The fact that the only real controversial thing these last few days got a quick reaction before everyone went back to "Leaves is Plants" showed that this community is a good place to be

razlo.bsky.social•100 days ago

It really is pleasant

megwrestling.bsky.social•100 days ago

show us!!! 🫶🏻

paksmrbk.bsky.social•99 days ago

You go! Chase your joy & watch it blossom! Woohoo!

kagutaba96.bsky.social•100 days ago

i feel the same way! having criticisms is fine but at the end of the day i just wanna enjoy what i enjoy with my friends

raw-wheat.bsky.social•100 days ago

I've sort of kept my thoughts to myself on the matter, for whatever reason, but cutting out trolling/negativity, ratings discourse, ticket sales discourse, and all the dirt sheets has skyrocketed my enjoyment of #AEWDynamite.

raw-wheat.bsky.social•100 days ago

I haven't seen a TV rating in like 2 months. As far as I know, I'm the last person in the entire world watching Dynamite on TV and I don't care. This year's product has been my all-time favorite year to follow AEW.

amy.wrestlejoy.com•100 days ago

The only thing I care about is that the fun show I love to watch, remains the fun show I love to watch.

One of the first terms I muted here was "ratings", followed by "ratings discourse".

My metrics are: Is it fun? Are the matches/stories great? Is the crowd hyped? Am I? Great. That's it! ♥️

raw-wheat.bsky.social•100 days ago

Totally random but possibly related tangent. Idk if it has to do with distancing from the IWC or not, but this year has been the first year I feel like AEW has drawn out some feelings of nostalgia toward their historical content. Anyone else feel that way?

troublesweekly.bsky.social•100 days ago

Absolutely! I think since it's already been 5 years there's plenty of nostalgia creeping in. I've seen tons of musings about the amazing Dark shows from the early years as well as various former talents that were loved ie Marko and such. It's a good thing.

raw-wheat.bsky.social•100 days ago

For sure! Nostalgia is a powerful feeling. I've been curious if others have had a similar experience, or if it was maybe just something weird in my own brain, lol.

amy.wrestlejoy.com•100 days ago

I do too! I think because there's been a big focus on some of the day one talents, but not so much in "newcomers vs originals". More in highlighting the merits, work, triumphs, and stories of them, all on their own accord.

And I LOVE that. It's very rewarding for those of us who've been watching!

amy.wrestlejoy.com•100 days ago

Plus, at least over here, I think we've all been cramped up in this dark, dank space of tribalism, and now we finally feel like we can release this pent up excitement and share how we've felt about things over time without all the arguments and nitpicking eroding the celebration of it.

lizlacey.bsky.social•100 days ago

Your positivity is my FAV thing about you! (That and your 🔥 thing 😉) You are a beacon of sunshine ☀️

bboyskyline.bsky.social•100 days ago

Cosplay you say what do you need help with

dignan92.bsky.social•100 days ago

(And #WrestleSky 🤼 That defintely helped.)

heyitsaaron.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yeap. Instead of hearing about ratings and TK and AEW are trash , we can enjoy wrestling and all its many splendid forms again in a safe , non judgemental space.

kobi216.bsky.social•99 days ago

Osprey/Fletcher is going to be an amazing match

gemmeri.bsky.social•99 days ago

Inspiration is good. Positivity is absolutely necessary for a creative environment. What took you so long? Yes, those people really are that bad for you. Welcome to the new & improved social platform. I have high hopes for us.

theelitespear.bsky.social•100 days ago

All you needed was BlueSky in your life

mjkoehler.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yep. Exactly this.

itschelsea.bsky.social•100 days ago

captainpeterquinn.bsky.social•100 days ago

if (i probs will now) i got a wrestling event next year, ill be going in this,,.,, this is the feeling

amandabf.bsky.social•100 days ago

I love seeing the rejuvenated joy from so many people. It may sound silly, but we're building an actual community that listens to and uplifts one another, rather than tolerating a bunch of people who dream of "EDGE LORD" as their ultimate epitaph.

davidcarner.bsky.social•100 days ago

Can I say, seeing you and Andy over here, having fun again, it has healed me more than anything else. Thank you both. You both are so amazing, both as people and for what you do for wrestling.

reganelite.bsky.social•100 days ago

amy.wrestlejoy.com•100 days ago

Aaaand the article is live! AEW's Hangman Page, gardening, and cowboy shit, all in the style of Better Homes and Gardens.

croweknows.bsky.social•100 days ago

Don’t let other people ruin the things you like. I’ll talk to anyone, I’ll give opinions (good and bad), I’ll debate how to make the shows better…but if someone makes me feel like I shouldn’t be liking something I like, I’m blocking them.

I have real life stress, I don’t need IWC stress.

tonycruz327.bsky.social•100 days ago

🤘🏽🤘🏽 need a favor 🙏🏽 could you ask the people if we’re bringing streamers back? Now AEW / ROH going to smaller venues. Especially the Hammerstein shows

unseenbox.bsky.social•100 days ago

I basically stopped interacting with the iwc at large last fall because I couldn't take the relentless negativity that ensued after a certain wrestler got fired from aew, and then when that wrestler got hired again at a different place.

Its like a breath of fresh air over here.

he6rt6gr6m.bsky.social•100 days ago

Completely agree with this. Not seen one argument or one negative comment between fans of promotions and it's really been a breath of fresh air. Long may it continue and inspire!
