Apparently, there are a lot of pictures of me holding giant pumpkins! You know me: when I see a pumpkin I just go and pick it up! 🎃

re: WrestleDream'26:
1/2. Doing “Cena”[1], can also be artless. AEW Moné has function/value. But perceivable, with Moné, that AEW is chasing memes, “moments” & Meltzer, not meaning, which speaks volumes.
ALT Photo: Mercedes Moné vs Marina Shafir face off on the 10/21/2026 edition of AEW Dynamite. The most notable takeaway for program so far (10/26/2026) is in the following Mercedes Moné tweet: "Break her back for me @roderickstrong" Source: https://x.com/MercedesVarnado/status/2113092073633075643 Secondary Source: "Mercedes Mone Tells Marina Shafir’s Husband To 'Break Her Back'" | SEScoops https://www.sescoops.com/article/mercedes-mone-tells-marina-shafirs-husband-to-break-her-back-for-her
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: To indict Tony Khan further, the "Mercedes Moné Slot"—a must-book star attraction, golden handcuffed to TBS title, minimal story progression/character development—is just "The Jade Cargill Slot" with better matches and sporadic, white Baddies. xitter.cf/OJPATTERSON/status/211…
[1] From Day 1788: "[Mercedes Moné's Eddie Guerrero pastiche] is interesting because AEW Mercedes Moné is more [of a John Cena type]. Ultra-long title reigns, piecemealing programs, strategic losses, sometimes shoehorned into collective. Vaulted." xitter.cf/OJPATTERSON/status/211…

The Eddie[1] is interesting b/c AEW Mercedes Moné is more John Cena. Ultra-long title reigns, piecemealing programs, strategic losses, sometimes shoehorned into collective. Vaulted.

(Not for discourse. Don't mind me.)
From Day 1507: "A lengthy hiatus after their record-setting TBS title run—yet another eerie parallel between Mercedes Moné and Jade Cargill. I'm all for rest and breaks for wrestlers. Still odd to whom/how this happens." xitter.cf/OJPATTERSON/status/201…
