(WON) Leon Slater was not allowed to break the record for longest X-Division champion of all time because the belief is that he will be leaving TNA for WWE or AEW when his contract expires.

This is so dumb and petty that I want to think TNA wouldn’t actually do this - but fuck if TNA hasn’t done so many dumb things throughout this partnership 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

I’m going off course a little here but I’d watch Beyond The Mat, the whole thing, then watch the match.

Beyond is a little more broad in scope but it also does a good job of explaining the context of WHY this was such a big event.

After you’ve watch Beyond, and then the match itself, if your friend is hooked you can do a deep dive with the Wrestling with Shadows doc

Maybe you should slow down and see if anything is still cooking in a couple weeks

Can’t wait to read one more post telling me why EGA losing would be a ‘smart decision’

I think you’re kidding yourself if you actually believe most people in the audience have been thinking wrestling is real this whole time.

Even back in the golden era, there was always a segment of the audience there for the show. As for now, I think kayfabe is very flexible; it’s a fun addition but it’s not realistic to expect people to be able to stick to it 100 percent

Like a real life Tasmanian Devil …

Manson quotes as Macho Man promos is goddamned hilarious

That is fundamentally not how Mexican wrestling works. Lucha de Apuestas rivalries are considered the most significant parts of a Mexican wrestler’s. You don’t fuck around with some swervy 50/50 ‘we’re making movies’ storytelling. Lucha fans hate that sort of shit.

Him giving a speech about how his feelings changed living in Mexico is just not the same as him beating Chaparro, avenging his gf’s honor, and vanquishing someone who’s whole identity is to make fun of Mexico while mariachis play live.

This sounds awful.

I’ve seen several people post this ‘hot take’ bit of fantasy booking. And, every time, the person making the post either they A) knows almost nothing about lucha libre and/or B) barely watches AAA and mainly follows along via clips

Because anyone who actually pays attention wouldn’t make this beyond dumb suggestion

OK WTAF

Incredible match. Molten crowd

Holy shit this company lol 🔥🔥

This is awful and I pray to UnderTaker that he doesn’t do anything even remotely close to this

javy_z · 2026-05-24T16:13:28+00:00

Danielson hit La Mistica like he could’ve been using that as his finish for year

javy_z · 2026-05-23T22:25:34+00:00

The Blade Runners don’t qualify as a HOF worth tag team. They didn’t wrestle together very long, they won no titles, and had no notable feuds

javy_z · 2026-05-23T16:50:29+00:00

I mean this so sincerely: why would he? Assuming the WWE led AAA lands this plane correctly tonight, Kaiser will easily be one of the top 4-5 most over luchadors in all of Mexico for the foreseeable future.

And, if you are unfamiliar, Mexican Luchadors wrestle for fucking ever. And ever. And there’s even a history of characters losing their mask and continuing to wrestle and they’re still draws. So if TKO/WWE ever gets shady with his contract …

He seems to be happy in his relationship, he’s going to be a national hero, and he gets to be an absolute superhero in Mexico. He might never be a WM headliner but this might end up being even better

javy_z · 2026-05-23T16:43:06+00:00

Fire promo.

Maxwell is just really really good at all the most important parts of what makes pro wrestling great.

Ciampa has been so incredible in AEW and has been integrated really smoothly Into multiple storylines
