Got a scam call about fake fraudulent credit card charges while I was watching #AEWCollision. Sometimes I feel like wrestling is the only thing left that’s real.

How is it Jericho can throw his whole body around but can't throw a realistic punch? #AEWCollision

My usual hookup for free PPV didn't come through on Saturday, but I did manage to find GCW live from Cincinnati in a theater where I used to go to the movies! Richard Holliday applying his signature move always brings me joy.

Hey, so looks like I’m gonna shut down my wrestling newsletter before renewal next month. Thinking about using the kayfabe.ink domain to spin off a wrestling-focused mastodon instance, cuz corporate social media sucks. Any interest?

I have very mixed feelings about MLW—hate the fact that they book abusers, love Zamaya, Kozone, Hill, Shotzi.Enjoy the goofy aesthetic of the whole thing. But my God their ring announcer is awful. Literally every announcer I’ve ever seen is better

Looking for fun podcasts about wrestling. So not, like, old guys complaining that it's not like the 80's and 90's. I'd prefer indie and AEW-focused. Got any recommendations for me?

I do not believe that Jaxson Dart is a real NFL player. That's a WWE name if I ever heard one.

I feel like folks mad at Disney should know that there are IPTV services that are easy to set up--literally download an app on your tv and enter some numbers into it--cost a relatively trivial amount, and have enormous on-demand content libraries and live sports including PPVs.

I like AEW a lot, and so I offer this constructive criticism with affection: I feel like y'all are underusing a very talented roster of women wrestlers

In Lowell for Chaotic Wrestling. Big crowd clearly pumped for Mortar’s return!

Barricades surround a wrestling ring at the side of the frame. Approx 12 foot diameter screen reads SUMMER CHAOS. People mill around the seats.

Tomorrow's Chaotic Wrestling show marks the return of Mortar, who's been absent for nearly all of 2026! If you wanna catch up on the Mortar saga, read this, www.kayfabe.ink/chaotic-unde... this, www.kayfabe.ink/chaotic-lock... and this! www.kayfabe.ink/chaotic-summ...

I watched a few eps of Evolve when Ricky Smokes and Aaron Rourke started. Wendy Choo was the weirdest character on their roster at that point, which made me a fan. Hope to see her at some indie shows!

Hey, do me a solid, willya? Check out this piece and tell me if you'd be interested in reading such things about Mystery Wrestling or AEW or some other promotion. Not asking if you'd PAY for something like this. Only if you'd read it! Honesty appreciated! www.kayfabe.ink/chaotic-unde... #WrestleSky

Seriously, don’t watch the fucking show. Don’t review it or recap it. Don’t give it the fucking time of day. This isn’t like “Aw, okay, well, don’t do it next time!” This is like, “We are no longer friends.”

I was thinking about going to Collision in Springfield on 9/12 but I don't love the idea of driving home 90+ minutes that late at night and local hotels are charging 250 BUCKS A NIGHT! To stay in Springfield Massachusetts! #AEW #Wrestlesky

Bloodrayne was pretty terrible, but watching the health bar fill up as I drained a Nazi's blod while using his body as a human shield and shooting other Nazis with dual-wield machine guns was pretty irresistible to me.

Man, Wrestling is so over the top: MJF is out here pretending he didn’t lose something everybody knows he lost. When would that ever happen in the real world?

A note for any kind of artist, including indie wrestlers: you need to website and a mailing list. You can’t count on an algorithm to connect you to fans. And you can’t count on your followers on any corporate site being as accessible tomorrow as they are today. Get a website. Get a mailing list.
