Yeah honestly the AEW thing was kind of a big LOLTNA moment for me right at the end. At the very least, even if it had to be Christian next in line, it should’ve happened on Impact. It was like a year long build up, the question of who would finally beat Kenny Omega and get the rub, and the answer to that question turned out to be no one on the TNA roster but instead another AEW wrestler on AEW. I know that Christian did his time in TNA for a little bit after that but I didn’t see it because I actually stopped watching for a little while.

If this actually is TNA in its dying days for real this time, I guess I might as well as the shitshow through, seeing as I’ve been here this long. I wouldn’t be against switching over to NXT for what I need from pro wrestling if it goes that way.

Damn I wonder if Killer Kelly will be back any time soon, I guess not. Way back when she was originally supposed to sign and had more of a kickboxer gimmick, there were visa issues or some shit. Then finally, after a couple of years I think, had this short but cool run and now this. I mean, good for her and all that shit though.

And yeah, I had a feeling that this was still the deal with Tessa. That’s sucks and definitely makes me a bit uncomfortable watching. Sounds like their biggest wtf move since Alberto Del Rio. And makes the aggression from Grace look so much more real, which is probably what they’re going for but still, wtf.

The reason I solely watch TNA these days is that it’s just big enough to showcase NXT wrestlers and have people like Okada dropping by for a month out of the blue; but with low online engagement, so I can have a relatively smark free view of things, like before I cursed myself with Wreddit so long ago. And it leaves room to squeeze a couple more obsessions in. So it fucking sucks that they’re doing stupid controversial shit like this.

I’m only a day in of trying to get away from this, and I’m mostly talking about Lemmy right now (but it would also work / help on Bluesky), but something that’s already made a huge difference for me personally since yesterday, is separating the feeds. I woke up this morning and scrolled through content that didn’t make me want to start a revolution first thing in the morning and I’m already having a pretty good day for it.

I decided to cut most news and politics out of my subscriptions, other than maybe some small communities that don’t show up on ‘All’ on a 24 hour cycle. So from now on, my subscriptions will be only things that interest me and not enrage me. And ‘All’ is still there if I happen to feel like indulging in the rage for a little bit.

Also, finding a server that’s more tailored to what you personally vibe with adds a 3rd option in the ‘Local’ tab for a feed that doesn’t destroy your soul piece by piece.

So the ‘Reddit’ experience is still there in the ‘All’ tab, for everything. From rage to cool shit you haven’t subscribed to yet. But you don’t have to spend all day there. You can fill the other two tabs with stuff that makes you smile or learn or that aligns with your interests / career / philosophy or whatever. And spend more time there.

I was doing the same when I gave Bluesky a try, making use of different feeds for different things. Keep the news and politics in its own tab and only go there when you feel like catching up, or if you’re specifically in the mood to rage against the machine.

I’m late, in my timezone I usually watch this during the day on my Friday. Sometimes I fall behind but always catch up by the WWE. But it’s been a while since I’ve done this so.

• I think Frankie Kazarian might be my current favourite of the men’s roster. He cracks me up. If he’s slowly heading towards doing commentary (he’s been doing guest commentary a lot) in the future, I really hope that this trophy amounts to something and he gets a run with the world championship first.

• That 5 minute Elegance segment went on for about 5 minutes longer than it needed to. Thank the gods Spitfire showed up. Jodi Threat fuckin rocks.

• Fuck the System

• Torn about Masha Slamovich vs Rosemary because I love both, but Slamovich needs a solid, dominant run and I doubt this is going Rosemary’s way. But also, I am so ready for Rosemary to be champion.

• What happened to Killer Kelly? I miss her. And the weird slightly erotic, partnership / relationship thing she had going with Slamovich for a while made a lot more sense than Slamovich and Grace suddenly being BFFs out of the blue.

• Loving Santana right now

• Just got to main event, which I’ve been looking forward to. Gonna hit post now. Might edit but I’m sure it’ll be some variation of “fun match!”

Edit: what’s the consensus on Tessa Blanchard. I don’t follow the drama and politics of wrestling but I know that she was in disgrace at one point. What’s the word these days? Has she apologized for past actions and shit?
