Every single person employed by @AEW should feel infinite pride for that broadcast last night. What a tribute. It's been in my brain since it went off the air. Kudos to every single person there for a classy, amazing tribute that hopefully helped everyone grieving in the ways they needed.
All the best for recovery for probably wrestling’s biggest fan, Vladimir.
Ted Turner was the catalyst in pro wrestling sea change more than once and it’s nowhere near his most notable accomplishment.
What a life.

I’d appreciate it if you read my piece on Rocco Lore, an impressive guy who’s been through a lot. Thank you.

Sorry to hear about the death of Mr. Electricity, Steve Regal. We had some back and forth over the years about classic wrestling.
That must have been a LOT of fun @SteveRegal4, learning from those two. Can't imagine how much knowledge the two of those must have had for an up and comer.
A well-thought out piece by @BrandonThurston on the ups and downs of WrestleMania being held in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Appreciate this a lot.
NEW: Please don't politicize WrestleMania.
WWE delivers shareholder value and normalizes an awe-inspiring dictatorship that pays them extremely well—all while entertaining you.
There's nothing political about that. postwrestling.com/2025/09/12…
RIP Sabu.
In wrestling, he was one of a kind and cut from a different cloth. Had a chance to interview him in 2011 and he was very giving of his time with me.
Best to all attending, working at, working on or performing in the wrestling world this WrestleMania weekend. It takes a lot of commitment and passion. Enjoy.

With this WWE-TNA crossover continuing, it would be incredible if @PCOisNotHuman wrestled on WWE TV for the first time in 27 years. I can’t think of anyone with a wider gap between TV matches.
My podcast, Under The Ring: Pro Wrestling Conversations, was canceled today, effective immediately.
Thanks to everyone who worked on the show, came on the show, suggested guests, or supported the project. It means a lot to me.
Catch you later.
The Raw debut on Netflix looked sharper than most wrestling productions. Tonight is the beginning of a very unique period in WWE history. Outside of the U.S. Open and the Dog Show, this is likely the first Monday with no WWE on cable since New Year’s Eve 1984.

Really sorry to hear this.
The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) is heartbroken to announce the passing of Jeremy "Jax Dane" Laymon.
Born March 10, 1976, Dane left us on Christmas Day, December 25, 2024, due to complications from a heart attack suffered in late November. Dane is survived by his wife Evelynda Laymon, stepson Nicolas, and father, who will forever cherish his memory. He was 48 years old.
Jax is remembered not only for his remarkable achievements inside the ring but his unwavering dedication to the sport and his fellow wrestlers. The most decorated wrestler of the Lightning One Era and former NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, Jax left an indelible mark on the NWA and the pro wrestling community as a whole.
Describing Dane as a “friend, mentor, absolute professional in and out of the ring, and loyalist who went out of his way to support and rebuild the NWA of today,” William Patrick Corgan expressed his sorrow,
“Jax Dane loved professional wrestling deeply and he certainly loved those he fought and rode with. I know I speak for all of the National Wrestling Alliance when saying Jax will be missed. We will do our best to honor him and make his family proud as we carry forth,” the NWA’s President and Owner states.
“There are those men and women who carry the legacy of a champion because they have risen to such heights,” Corgan continues, “And then there are those that earn the respect of a champion simply because of who they are. To this I can say, simply and personally, that Jax was such a man, and will forever be in our hearts.”
A very big, ambitious jump for TNA.
BREAKING: Due to no overwhelming winner, TNA is bringing big PPV events to BOTH Los Angeles and New York in 2025.
#TNARebellion is coming to the Galen Center in LA on April 27 while #TNASlammiversary is coming to the UBS Arena in New York on July 20.
