absolutely crying at Toni Storm telling the commentary desk that she and the Outcasts had synched their menstrual cycles, and the panicked silence that followed
through all the wrestling bracelet discourse I’ve been saying that I wish companies would sell little themed bead kits instead of ready-made bracelets
and idk the idea wouldn’t get out of my head so I made a tiny proof-of-concept kit
(for Hangman, obvs)
what d’you reckon?
you know I don't think Punk fans can understand why AEW viewers don't like him. they think we're still "bitter" because they think we want him back, that we're angry he went to WWE
and it's not that.
it's the damage he did to everything while he was in AEW.
right, let's do some completely statistically wonky horny maths, and then never speak of this again!!!
comparison of the dudes straight men think are the hotties vs who women say their most beloveds are:
here’s your maths!!
after 413 individual votes, a whole 64 different dudes were nominated as AEW’s hottest heartthrob according to straight men, with Hangman the clear winner with 21% of the vote
here is a pie chart of the other forerunners:
you know what, fuck it: who’s your AEW crush? who do you think is the hottest hottie on the roster?
(if you lemme know how you identify I will make graphs so that might be fun??)
can we just take a second to appreciate that
@WillOspreay
conveyed more character in five words here than some wrestlers manage in their whole career and that he is, in fact, one of the greatest promos in the game?
uhh what part of “Kenny isn’t gonna wrestle loads of singles matches all the time because he doesn’t wanna get re-injured and end his career early” did we fail to internalise again
question for straight men: who do you think is the hot guy at AEW?? like, who do you reckon is the heartthrob?
(idk if I have many straight guys on here, maybe if you have one at home you could ask them?)
at the risk of incurring further wrath, like… why does that furious old man hate Kenny and the Bucks so much? it’s an unhinged level of hate for just “I don’t like their style of wrestling” isn’t it?
a heartfelt shout out to all the wrestling girlies on here, especially if you’ve been a long-term wrestling fan!!!!
this community is 99% garbage, so I’m kind of amazed you’ve held on, but also I’m very glad you did and I love and admire you all 💕
dear AEW merch guys, please could you reissue this on a baby pink shirt? because I like this design but if I wear this I will look like I’ve been rolling around in dirt
as an established hater I have to commend Kevin, Tony and Nigel on their efforts on last night’s Collision, especially with regard to Abadon’s pronouns, which they all seemed to be making an effort to get right
right so in conclusion what we’ve learned is:
• Dolly Parton pisses people off
• Hangman pisses people off
• … hot blondes who wear pink piss people off???
Hangman really rides with AEW cause he thought that dark cloud was only above him. Nah man, the whole company had that same cloud over it.
And everytime they did something positive, that dark cloud was right there talking to nick Hausman of wrestlehaus
an underrated fun thing about having wrestling pals on here is, sometimes when you're watching the show you see someone else's special little guy doing something exciting and you think "aww my friend is gonna be so happy about that" 🥰🥰🥰
so there's been some conversation lately about accessibility at UK wrestling shows -- both good and bad
it's something close to my heart so
@pencilledin_Nik
and I put together a little survey recently to try to get a sense of what it's like out there. want to see some results?
in all of AEW, Chuck Taylor has had only 13 singles matches in 5 years thats around 2 matches a year on average. only 3 of them though were on dynamite(cable)
dark: 10 (7 wins, 3 loses)
cable show: 3 ( 0 wins, 3 loses)
“sexual assault is seen as a women’s problem, and women have to deal with it” -
@TrishandSarah
yep. isn’t it. so many men just noping out as if this isn’t something they need to pay attention to
still laughing at the guy who, when I approached him to give him a friendship bracelet, clocked my Best Friends shirt and went “aww let me give you a hug… YOU GOTTA GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT”
these guys be like, Hangman isn’t good!!! no-one buys his merch!!! women don’t watch AEW!!! and fat women don’t count!!!
do you see how there is no way to argue with these people?? humiliation fetishists the lot of em
in light of recent events I have decided to pick a new wrestling crush
one who will never have to be off for months at a time due to injury and one who will definitely be booked every single week no matter what
*dramatic pause to build suspense*
the thing isssssssss if we don't want the clickbait grifters to dominate the conversation all the time we've gotta stop sharing their stuff (even to dunk on it) and start sharing the stuff we do want to see more of
for the sake of clarity, things that are never okay:
1) punching your coworkers for saying something you don’t like
2) bodyshaming anyone, ever
if you’re about to go “but what about…” you should know: I’m not interested! thanks anyway!!
I think my take on it is: it is embarrassing for Kenny or Hangman to have to hop on social media and tell us all to behave, but I kind of like that they do and don’t just let everyone run wild, I like that they care
people who were saying Bryce didn’t notice Yuka had hurt her ankle: did you uhhhh not see the part where Emi distracted the camera while he checked in with her??
what if Don Callis represents toxic fandom
always wanting to push Kenny to his limits regardless of his welfare
needing more and more big matches, more and more titles
and then getting distracted by someone younger and shinier when Kenny won’t just be his toy anymore
