Day 1806 of this post being up & no apologies to Big Swole from @TonyKhan
re: B&G2026:
I was gonna say “what about Aminata and Hayter, did they have a substantive B&G 2026 interaction” and I saw Hayter/Aminata didn’t even tag that much when they were “a team”. TWO tag matches!
The top 2 @AEW execs are brown (me & Megha)!! Jade, Bowens, Caster, Dante, Nyla, Isiah & Marq Quen all won on tv this month. The TBS Title Tournament has been very diverse. I let Swole’s contract expire as I felt her wrestling wasn’t good enough. #AEWRampage Street Fight TONIGHT!

Note: Aminata/Hayter having a substantive interaction post Aminata’s injury—Aminata confronting the Birds/being “replaced”, Mina/Aminata vs Birds, Hayter, Hayter recruiting Aminata to B&G against Willow/Wrathlander’s wishes—doesn’t guarantee better stories. Maybe TK would fail.

This the kinda defensive effort he need to be using on the court
Michael Porter Jr. says he doesn’t trust his girlfriend to go out.
“Going out in any city, if it’s my girlfriend, is dang near cheating. That’s grounds for a breakup.”

re: B&G2026:
What’s Blood and Guts ‘26 mean for Mina Shirakawa? Critical to the ending in 2025. Teaming with Aminata. Vital to Thekla vs Stardom. Dependable. And she couldn’t even get a Ford/Aminata spot.

I love Frontier Airlines; a woman was putting her luggage in the overhead compartment ahead of me and a ziploc bag full of spaghetti fell out of her pocket and she went “ah geez,” like this was a recurring irritation.

re: B&G2026:
How does an ending for women's B&G (heating tag title program) compare to the men (seeding World title program). What does Don Callis' involvement mean compared to an absent Britt Baker?

André 3000 and Kelis, photographed by David LaChapelle in 2004, around the release of their collaboration “Millionaire”
Kelis shared the photos in a new Instagram post: "We never shot a video to ‘Millionaire’ but we did a shoot with David LaChapelle that may give you a glimpse into what it could’ve been 🤗 this song continues to be one of my favorites."

re: B&G2026:
AEW running back the same match/build as last year[1], minus its biggest star[2], w/ plot holes[3], w/o future advancement (ie C2, etc)[4] is fine. Who is left out from that isn’t.

[7] From Day 1497: “No purer axiom in 2026 wrestling than ‘the build—the plot details—don't matter if the match (and/or post-match) bangs.’ All I know is, if I was a character on a TV show terrorized by a ‘friend’, there'd be a convo before we hug again.” teapaw.org/OJPATTERSON/status/200…

Modern fans don't need to go on a ride. They just want keys dangled in their faces.

[7] From Day 1510: “Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale have been emotional retconned in an unearned contrivance that only reflects Statlander's interiority(?), w/o any explicit surtext of Willow's motivation to forgive" teapaw.org/OJPATTERSON/status/201…
Instead, Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale have been emotional retconned in an unearned contrivance that only reflects Statlander's interriority(?), w/o any explicit surtext of Willow's motivation to forgive and that literally centers Kris (again). 8/10
