Knew I was in trouble when I started welling up in the first one seeing Danielson fight the tears. Then completely broke to see Nick totally fail in that fight. Chuck Taylor, Cutler and Aubrey all got me but, my word, Bryce... give that man all the hugs. Utterly destroyed me seeing it.

I was doing so well (relatively speaking) until she read the eulogy from the family. She maintained her composure so brilliantly but when her voice wobbled just that little bit, I was done for.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Marina felt like the heart and soul of that show. For someone who carries herself as a stoic badass every other night (and does so brilliantly) it was somehow even more badass to watch her refuse to hide her emotions throughout the night.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Seconded. AEW never miss on these kinds of shows but damnit I wish that was something we never had to find out. Goodbye, PAC. You were always OUR bastard. #AEWDynamite

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I'm confident this will be a touching, tasteful and well put-together show. AEW doesn't miss when it comes to tribute shows... something I really wish they or I had never had to find out. That said, I suspect this show will ruin me. #AEWDynamite

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This match should be bonkers-good. And there won't be a dry eye in the house.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Man, same. He didn't appear to smooth himself off for American audiences (or if he did, it wasn't a lot) so they had to just get used to it. Even the way he called Ospreay a twat recently was so authentically Northern. As a Northern guy myself, he felt like our guy.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

So many people have said so many of the answers I'd have given so I'll add this: I really liked how unapologetically British Pac was. Never tried to hide his accent. Plus, he'd just drop little things/turns of phrase in his promos which would pop a British audience. He was OUR guy. #AEW

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Same. A lot of wrestling fans have been conditioned by... other promotions... to think of emotion and empathy as weakness. I will have none of that. AEW is such a source of unironic joy because it reflects its leadership. He doesn't deserve to have to book two tribute shows in less than a month.

0130

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

100% agree. It's so rare to see someone who truly, deeply *cares* about others. He's excitable in the good times and devastated in the bad. He's a human being. And, from what I can see, a damn good one.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

If he's going to deadname his own child, I'll continue to deadname his fucking app. It's Twitter.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Empty but for a black towel draped over it, perhaps? His entrance had such aura... and this visual is going to be a heartbreaker.

010

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I keep trying to think of words but I'm totally lost. Everything seems reductive. This one hurts. He was always among my favourites. My heart breaks for those who knew him personally. Forever our Bastard #Pac

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Me too. I wish I didn't ever have to find out how good they are at those kinds of shows. Huber and Williams were both heartbreaking. Pac's may actually ruin me.

020

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It's basically a social deduction game but with TV cameras. I rather enjoy it, although the board game fan in me wishes the game mechanics allowed actual evidence to be collected rather than players talk about evidence and just going off vibes.

020

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Disappointed for sure. And really upset at where all the hair went. 20 was possibly my peak in that regard.

000

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I knew @shutupexcalibur.bsky.social would deliver a lovely tribute, but I was still not emotionally prepared to hear it. Especially when his voice started to waver. So glad Schiavone was there with a comforting hand. AEW does these things so well but I wish they didn't have to. #AEWDynamite

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Sad that lack of funds meant I couldn't be at AEW All In this year having been at the first two Wembley events. Even so: what a show. Capped off by two absolutely amazing world title matches. Willow/Mercedes was top draw and Omega/Ospreay is probably my match of the year. #AEWAllIn

020

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I really liked "Is he going to leave any pyro for anyone else?"

010

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

The video package for Will Ospreay moved me damn-near to tears. The entrance with all those significant people in the back, and Mox handing him the flag? Became the best entrance of the year before his music even hit. Hearing Wembley sing his song so loud put a lump in my throat. Wonderful.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Seriously: the worst timeline. Dolly Parton and now Tim Curry? Within 24 hours of each other? What the hell, universe? #TimCurry

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

This is the worst timeline. RIP Dolly Parton. There never was and never will be another one like her. Which is even more of a shame because the world would be a better place with more people like her in it. #DollyParton

Closing out my week off work with a trip to see THE ODYSSEY. Superb. I was a Greek mythology nerd as a child and this is exactly the sort of movie I would have wanted. Nolan really knows his way around an epic.

Always been a bit on the fence when it comes to the Fat Bob but that one is gorgeous. Really good stumble!

Blade Runner still one of the best finishes in wrestling. Jay always hits it as smooth as silk and the speed makes it look devastating. So, so stoked to see it again.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

This response genuinely made me snort-laugh. Thanks for that 😆

020

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Absolutely the right call. Not jealous at all... ahem.

030

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

It would be amazing for her to have a really good Wembley match to her name. I was at Wembley for her last one and it... wasn't great. I don't put the blame on her but the atmosphere pretty much died during that match. To see her put on a banger in front of a hot Wembley crowd feels earned.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

This is a new experience... enjoying an England tournament match. Good and bad it's not been dull. I could get used to this. Also, how cool is it that all four of England's goals have come from players who do not play in England at the club level? #ENGCRO

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

For the most part, I don't care about football. Particularly at the club level. The World Cup, however, is different. Every four years, people from all over the world gather together in celebration. Just look at some of the footage from this year of people having fun together. It's joyous.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Even as someone who isn't massively into basketball, I'm so pleased to see the unbridled joy coming out of New York after the Knicks won the NBA Championship. That city is my favourite place on Earth and they absolutely deserve this moment. #KnicksInFive

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Honestly, how can you dislike this guy? Works on behalf of working people but isn't so self-serious that he can't throw in a little whimsy every now and again.

I hesitated watching Andor for so long because I didn't really enjoy Rogue One, but I'm glad I eventually did. You're so right. It's superb. Best thing produced under the Star Wars banner. It's so jarring (in a very positive way) to have Star Wars with great dialogue. Chef's kiss.

Didn't realise how much I missed that chronological timeline until reading this. Oh man, yes please.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Absolutely. Aside from the moral component and the environmental component, which are both more significant complaints about it for me, AI "art" is uniformly hideous.

Rides are good. Rides with a friend are even better. See my best friend far too infrequently but it's always a good time when I do. #motosky #harleydavidson #triumph

Didn't realise @kumail.bsky.social was on Bluesky until it was mentioned on the latest Taskmaster episode... along with some other things in his internet history. Super easy follow. What a joy this season has been so far. #Taskmaster

I cannot remember a time in my life when I didn't want to live in New York. Seeing this makes that urge all the stronger. What a breath of fresh air it has been to see what's going on in NYC while politics almost everywhere else is so utterly bleak. Will never not love that city.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

The new @thelongestjohns.bsky.social album - Ends Of The Earth - dropped today. As a Kickstarter backer, I got to download it right away. Already listened to it all the way through twice. As expected: superb! Can't wait to see them live again later this month.

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

So, that Tommaso Ciampa fella is rather good, isn't he? A truly excellent main event match and such a good first title defence for Darby. Cannot wait for his "until the wheels fall off" title reign to play out but I'm still pulling for Brody King next week. #AEWDynamite

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

I hate that this needs saying but: Space. Exploration. Is. Worth. It. For. Its. Own. Sake. The footage and photos from the Artemis II are some of the most beautiful images I've ever seen. Truly awe-inspiring stuff. There's always room for awe. Makes "the sh*tshow" seem more tolerable.

010

Tony @thudx13.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

It's the most frustrating argument against space exploration. And it usually comes from people who claim to be on the political left. Which makes it all the more frustrating.
