Maybe AEW’s merch in arena and online will actually be good now?

fun fact: in 2015 I ended up at WWE's wrestlemania hotel and afterparty. security to get in was extra tight both times I was there (night before Mania and after the show for the party). The person who got me in had to vouch for me.

No idea why WWE has cut the budget for that in the last 11 years.

as a rams fan, I love this.

tim apple - gone
welcome john apple.

private equity wrestling does not care about protecting wrestlers.

Today feels like a “do admin work for myself while watching Hangman and Swerve” kind of day.

The ocean is a scam. And I’ll absolutely swim in it again.

They said to use the hottest possible water on the stingray sting and now I have burns on that foot. Damn. There is no winning.

hey photographers around these parts - what websites are y'all using for portfolios? I'd love to get more of my work on a single non-social media place I can point people to!

Thanks! I do now. But damn those things hurt.

My foot in a yellow bag marked “stingray”

Ow.

Also look at my sweet photo of Darby accompanying this.

Oh shit. Forbidden Door is in San Jose?!! I’m there!

The beige wall of a windowless office with 11 photos of wrestling related things. I took all of those photos.

Wrestle photo wall in my office is finished (for now)! Photos entirely by me!

Pruett’s Pause: 10 Thoughts on AEW Dynamite - Darby Allin is the new AEW Men’s World Champion, Sting appears, Kevin Knight vs. Claudio Castagnoli - Pro Wrestling Dot Net By Will Pruett, ProWrestling.net Co-Senior...

One of the most important episodes of AEW Dynamite ever happened last night! I’ve got thoughts on Darby Allin, MJF, Sting, and so much more! prowrestling.net/site/2026/04...

RIP the bone zone (2020-2025)

So AEW totally leaked that Darby was winning earlier today to make sure people actually tuned in to Dynamite, right?

Basically the Mick Foley move (complimentary).

Tonight. MJF in blue and gold.

Double or Nothing 2022. MJF in blue and gold.

MJF wore the same gear tonight he wore against Wardlow at Double or Nothing 2022 - and in a very similar match. 🤼

AEW is the good vibes wrestling promotion. What a fucking show tonight. More thoughts (10 of them) tomorrow.

Puccini's Turandot

Darby Allin vs. Stairs is AEW’s longest running and most compelling feud.

I guess Phil lived long enough to see himself become Terry Bollea. It’s equally amazing and disappointing.

Pruett’s Blog: Why I stopped watching WWE - Pro Wrestling Dot Net By Will Pruett, ProWrestling.net Co-Senior...

I wrote about all of that here. It remains one of the more personal things I’ve ever written. The best time to stop watching was decades ago. The next best time is now y’all.

WWE is private equity wrestling run by sex pests and enablers. You don’t have to watch. prowrestling.net/site/2025/06...

Last year I wrote a complete ranking of wrestlemania main events and almost immediately regretted it, not because my rankings were bad (they ruled) but because it was basically WWE propaganda…

It was just a month later that I decided not to watch WWE anymore at all. I have not once regretted it.

i frequently confuse crypto scammer named sam with ai scammer named sam and i think that is kind of beautiful.

Jason needs to institute a policy on the site where you get banned if you’re rude but not creative or funny. I don’t mind being insulted, but I want to see some effort out there.

a comment on pro wrestling dot net from an anonymous user saying "Aren't you the faggot that cries when he watches fake naked men pretend to wrestle. Fuck you!"

new weirdly angry comment on a wrestling blog. also people have been calling me that slur for fucking decades. be more original than the 4th grade kids bullying me.

Pruett’s Pause: 10 Thoughts on AEW Dynasty 2026 - What's the story with MJF's AEW Men’s World Championship reign, Will Ospreay chooses vengeance over Jon Moxley’s AEW Continental Championship - Pro Wr... By Will Pruett, ProWrestling.net Co-Senior...

10 Thoughts on AEW Dynasty! Marvel at my consistency when it comes to weekly wrestling writing! prowrestling.net/site/2026/04...

This MJF title reign feels so much more about his challengers and their stories than his own. It’s been about Bandido, Brody King, Hangman, and Omega…

But what is MJF doing?

the trios titles are made to change hands frequently. AEW is hitting a really fun stride with them lately.
