@GeekFTW but is it WWE’s fault that info gets leaked? Dijack’s release itself was announced by him, no leaks.
I’m here to talk about wrestling. Will post about #WWE, #AEW, #WWENXT, and even other promotions like #TNA or #NWA sometimes. My goal is to manifest the wrestling Mastodon community I want to see in the world.
Fair warning: I do live posting when I watch shows as they air in the US.

@HybridSarcasm @GeekFTW maybe another way to look at it is that she doesn’t trust the AEW machine to book her right, so she needs to protect herself with creative control. But to be honest I think most wrestlers would get creative control if they could.
@Neon_Carnivore @GeekFTW I feel like the Toni and Mina feud is the only FD specific type match that actually got a story build. If you did fewer collabs but all of them got the level of attention that theirs got then FD would have a MUCH better reputation.
@hellothere @GeekFTW I was wondering who got Cody to say that.
@GeekFTW Shawn Michaels crazy
@GeekFTW that’s so weird and sad to see. :(
@GeekFTW breh, bring D’Amore for AEW creative
@MolochAlter wish I could justify the sub for RoH. Glad to hear it’s good! I thought Tony was booking that himself too.
@GeekFTW @MolochAlter so many of AEW’s problems could be solved by Tony Khan letting go of the wheel more.
@Brain @Travon333 JD has so much more potential than we’ve seen yet. At NXT he was always a top contender. On the main roster he’s a clown. I’m disappointed, but he’s a professional.
@Neon_Carnivore @GeekFTW I don’t mind a title being reset every year with a tournament and otherwise working like a regularly championship. I forgot that the rankings were back, in which case it does matter more that Okada got a shot out of nowhere. However, I don’t feel like they’ve referenced the rankings that much in general. Still not convinced they’re a good idea, but I’m open to seeing more.
@TellumSiege I don’t know why, but Simon Gotch has really caught my attention. Gives me Edge vibes.
@JelloBrains @GeekFTW to be honest, I can see why TNA want to keep him if they can. I kind of don’t blame them. But from a talent management standpoint it’s not a good indicator of how he feels about the state of things. It arguably looks worse if they let Josh leave because it sets a precedent that Anthem will let you leave. But you can’t treat people like assets on a spreadsheet.
Real solution is rehiring Scott D’Amore.
@GeekFTW maybe Josh would have still wanted to look around even with D’Amore at the helm, but the fact that he wanted to look is not a good look for Anthem.
@GeekFTW hold up. The title says that TNA is extending the contract, but the graphic says he resigned. Which is it? Normally it doesn’t matter because you probably want to stay at your wrestling promotion, but in this case I wonder if this is Anthem keeping Josh Alexander on lock? Idk, I’m just sus about everything they do now, lol.
@GeekFTW NGL, it’s a clever way to mess with fans and drum up hype to something. I imagine it’s something at Impact or No Surrender only because I would be surprised for them to have a public show of their displeasure with Anthem.
In my heart I want it to mean that Scott D’Amore return incoming lol
@ThatSportsChick @wrestling and Edge. AEW is unfortunately good at making top stars feel like mid card people.
@GeekFTW fair point
