Tonight is a historic evening as AEW Dynamite becomes the longest running professional wrestling program in Turner Broadcasting History. I am happy for all who have made this happen. I am thankful for the history of WCW Nitro who set the table for today’s pro wrestling on TV. Here is to many more episodes of Dynamite and Collision.
I came into some All Elite Wrestling trading cards today courtesy of my pro wrestling friend Ian Calderwood. Thank you so much Ian, I will enjoy them. It’s amazing how AEW has changed over the years.
It’s independence day and I’m a professional wrestling fan so I am mixing the two and presenting The United States Heavyweight Championship Belt that was a title of the National Wrestling Alliance back in the day. Many great stars have worn this belt including The American Dream Dusty Rhodes. Have a great day and remember that freedom should be for everyone.
The wrestling community is a constant; its members are diverse, we are physically located on all corners of the planet, yet we are constantly connected.

I should have a big heart and open mind regarding pro wrestling. People say that tribalism is a problem and I can see that but I cannot help it. I don’t want WWE to fail but I want AEW to succeed much more. This is Wrestlemania week and I cannot get into the hype surrounding Cody Rhodes, who I miss in AEW, and the Bloodline story with Roman Reigns and The Rock. Please tell me if I am overthinking this or something else. It feels like I am cheating on AEW if I get into the Wrestlemania hype. What say you wrestling fans?
I am not an artist so I used Microsoft’s AI Image Creator tools to generate these images. It speaks to the nerd/geek that I am. Church, rocket ships, time travel, the geek world, professional wrestling, and Linux are all in my interests.
