@jennmint The thing that is missing is also the actual talent in WWE know not to engage fully with fanbase on here. Dip in, test the water, dip out.
Rico and the usual suspects in AEW stay likes it a freaking hot tub.
Cant complain about fleas if lie with the dogs, right?
WWE gets A LOT wrong, but one thing they do get right that AEW should really copy is their social media policy. Paul doesn’t put up with the kinda shit that happened with Ricochet.
@BrickCenter_ KD acts like a bitch. Houston could have been where the Spurs are at if they never traded for him and instead built around their young guys. only thing they were missing was a PG

the Lakers definitely look like an exhausted team that didn’t get into Miami until almost 6am this morning. Zero energy. Dead legs.
just go ahead and chalk this one up. Schedule loss lol
Mercedes Moné: "I'm returning (to AEW) really really soon. But right now I am on my Moné Madness Tour all over Europe. First it started in Mexico, now here in Italy, next stop is Paris, then London, then Poland, then Winnipeg. After that Mama is gonna return home."
@d2derrick People always kill Lebron for “leaving teams in shambles”… but at least he gets them a title before he bounces.
3 straight teams now that KD has been on… and hasn’t even made it out of the second round…
KD doesn’t like playing with these young kids and it’s pretty obvious. These kids should’ve grown together with Dillion and #4. The chemistry is gone and this rebuild may be cooked. ☹️
@franthewitcher@brucercap@WrestlePurists@WONF4W It’s Bryan at the end of the day..
He’s been spouting tons of wild shit lately.
I’ll wait for someone else to confirm it before I straight believe WON
@WrestlePurists@WONF4W Damn this sucks. huge Toni Storm fan. wanted to see her at DoN but she deserves time off to recover. wish her the best. AEW will need Mercedes back to replace her star power
Base 10, a company backed by Tony Khan, placed a $6.9 Billion bid on WWE when it was up for sale in 2023.
The court filing states: “Base 10 is the owner of AEW, a professional wrestling promotion that plainly would enjoy significant synergies with WWE.”

James Worthy on the Lakers 7 game winning streak:
“They’re playing championship caliber basketball right now. I don’t think we’ve seen that in quite some years. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen this type of basketball with the emphasis on defense…. Luka did his thing but LeBron man, it was amazing what he was able to do today and lead this team”
WOR: One of Ricochet’s friends apparently advised him to take his tweet down, before Ricochet did so and issued an apology.
“One of his friends called him and said, ‘You know, you really should take the tweet down.’ So he took the tweet down. And upon thinking about it, he then apologized. Nobody forced his apology or anything like that. He decided to apologize and he did.”

@NBA__Courtside Why does the media have to ignore the fact that the Lakers look good now that LeBron has accepted his role as the 3rd or 4th option and isn’t dominating the ball. It’s a very obvious team strategy shift.
LeBron complained about Jabari Smith Jr’s untucked jersey:
“You’re gonna play with your shirt untucked? On National Television? That’s what we’re doing?”
Jabari Smith ignored him 😭
@mikeybemunchin He's just not as interesting as the guys currently getting time. This is a prime example of why we need ROH to be its own brand with thoughtful booking.
The Bang Bang Gang is stuck in nowhere land until at least when Jay White comes back. But what sucks is the most is seeing how shitty Ace Austin is booked. #AEWDynamite
