AEW Pay Attention

The Nebraska Cornhuskers Women's Volleyball team broke the record for the largest crowd to attend a women's sporting event in the world.

This crowd was almost 11,000 more folks than what AEW ALL IN: London did. Basketball, Soccer and this Volleyball event prove that women's sports matter and will they draw.

Tony Khan is missing the mark and missing a lucrative opportunity to reach out to young women who might want to pursue being professional wrestlers. I think of Saraya and Billie Starkz who chose wrestling as their profession.

Women if given the opportunity can do great things in wrestling and in life. I think had the women shared the load in booking that the men would not have had the number of injuries they have had in AEW.

All Tony has to do is ask his veteran women to come up with stories and run with them. They are hungry and they deserve better.

If volleyball can do this so can women's pro wrestling. Do better AEW.

OK Pro Wrestling it's time to wake up and advance women's wrestling to where it can be.

These sports events above in addition to the 92,000 that gathered for a Nebraska volleyball game is proof that women's sports are bigtime draws.

I'm especially looking at AEW here. Book the women's division to the max and you won't regret it. This goes for all promotions too.

Tag Someone You Want To Get To Know Better (or check in with) 💚

Thank you for the tag @zimithrus1!

Favorite Color: 🎨 Blue! I love all shades of blue. Right now I have I big love for the blue-ish green-ish, turquoise-ish shade of blue. I'm finding it very calming.

Last Song: 🎧 Starlight Brigade by TWRP feat. Dan Avidan. I've been on a big TWRP kick because their songs are just making me happy and groovy. That one is my favorite though. It's got an Avalanche vibe song for my FF7 peeps (and the video is awesome!)

Last Movie: 🎥 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I have every line of it damn near memorized because I've watched it since I was born (it feels like it). But I love it. It's comforting and warm and I have always had a soft spot for my Pooh Bear.

Currently Watching: ▶ Right now I'm not watching a show, but I am working through Evelien "Gab" Smolders playthroughs of the Silent Hill games on Youtube. I never got to play any of them, but I like her playthrough because she keeps the spoilers out, but doesn't mess around too much so I get maximum spoopage watching her. And I ike her voice and think she's just chill to watch.

Other Stuff I Watched This Year: The Bear (stressful, but Season 2 was honestly pretty good), Nebraska Volleyball (I'm from the state that broke the record for the biggest attendance at a women's sporting even, you betcha I watch 'em). The Barbie Movie, The Glass Onion...I can't think of anything else.

Shows I Dropped This Year: ⏸ I pause a lot of things and I just don't remember to be honest. I have a long list of things I should watch, but just haven't yet. Sorry.

Currently Reading: 📖 I do keep up my reading. Right now I am re-reading Squire by Tamora Pierce: book 3 in the Protector of the Small Quartet. I re-read the entire series at least 1 a year. I adore Keladry and she is a big part of my own inspiration. At the same time I am reading Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. It's about a town cursed by a witch...who is still wandering around wrapped in the chains she was buried in and her mouth sewn shut to keep away her curses...but a series of pranks makes the thread come loose. It's spooky as heck.

Thank you so much for the tag. Let's tag @evil-robot-cat, @asylos and @doctorbeans. No presh, but have fun.

HELL YEAH WOMEN'S SPORTS

read this defector article about the insane way volleyball is THE sport in nebraska: https://defector.com/nebraska-is-a-volleyball-school

But Volleyball Day in Nebraska also made an argument for the small. It challenged the belief held by every decision-maker in college sports these days, that the only thing distinct about a school is the number of people who watch its football games on television. That belief can’t account for what happened last night. It insists that college sports have no worth beyond football. It insists they have no culture without men. It flattens the local, the particular, the peculiar. As clips of the event went around online last night, I saw that belief in some comments and replies, which treated the whole thing like a mystery to solve: Was everyone just there for the concert afterward? Were the tickets free? Well, what else is there to do in Nebraska, LOL? Those people are annoying and mostly not well-meaning, but they did remind me why I love college fandom. The experience isn’t universal. It shouldn't be. There’s a language you speak with your friends, and your family, and your neighbors, and everyone else is just some anthropologist who will never know the half of it. What's foreign to an outsider makes total sense when you were raised on Sarah Pavan and Jordan Larson and prep tournaments in Grand Island. It makes sense to the people who know a match at Devaney is the toughest ticket in town. Schools are in places, and places are special. It is so special to be from a place.
