A beautiful thing that happened recently:
AEW Holiday Bash 2025
Look at this shit:
The MJF Effect
First wrestling show tomorrow (in case anyone didn't see, I'm going to the Holiday Bash thanks to a nice tumblr-er helping me with the ticket issue). I'm a little apprehensive - travel always makes me nervous, but what if Max is there and they chant 'pussy' at him again? I may have to go fight.
In terms of Max...after everything that's happened this week I mostly just hope he's alright. But it would be very nice to see him.
It's a long show so I'm staying over, so I won't be around tomorrow. Excited to see the difference between the broadcast and the live event, tbh.
<3
Look at Joe's fucking face
I have watched Collision, finally. I wasn't sure if it'd be worth it, especially after all the Tribulations, but Nigel, Don and Tony's banter was more than worth it.
I was there, I saw Jack Perry biting toes. He's still a little feral. You can take the boy out of the jungle...
I saw Santasaurus/Lucha Claus. I didn't see whatever happened over the stuffie, though I think someone mentioned there'd been an incident - all I really saw was Luchasaurus and Jack handing out presents to the kids around the front row, and it was very cute.
More evidence of Luchasaurus doing whatever Jack directs him to do though...👀
When the Grizzled Young Veterans came out they were instantly booed for being from Liverpool. And then they doubled down on it. It was kind of interesting honestly being in the crowd and hearing all the pro-/anti-Manchester stuff and not being from Manchester myself. I was just like "?? :D" However, the GYV and Cruz did tell us to 'shut up', and I finally understood why that's such an effective heel tactic - because when you've been there at the show, cheering and booing and clapping and supporting your faves and booing your enemies and enjoying it, to be told to shut up feels INFLAMMATORY.
Nice to see Eddie, he was very sweet after the match also
I didn't see the earlier promo so I didn't realise the Mercedes open challenge was for her RevPro belt - I had a feeling Windsor would be winning, in the UK, when she came out, but I was just confused that Mercedes would be losing her TBS title in a last-minute open challenge on a weekly show before a big PPV. If I'd known it was the RevPro belt I wouldn't have had any doubt.
Lovely to see her and Okada wrestle twice in one night <3
Also extremely lovely to see Alex's son come out when she won <3<3
Banger of a main event, this was where I was more impressed by Okada's existence than ever during the show, and he was extremely funny. Surprising outcome to me, but after a match like that, I couldn't fault it. Also Don got into it with Rick Knox on the floor at the end, but it MADE NO DIFFERENCE
Tonight's Triller streams have not given me a good feeling about how it will be to watch the Christmas shows this week. I guess I should get all my wrapping and everything out of the way first, so I can focus on...whatever needs to be done.
AEW Twitter have finally confirmed that yes, this year the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale will be a bunch of contestants fighting each other until only two remain, and then those two in a final the following week. So yes, Max does seemingly need to be in the match on Wednesday if he wants to keep hold of the ring (and/or get the title shot at Maximum Carnage). So. Yeah.
