After @Keir_Starmer statement this morning I call on every single sport or sporting activity (looking at you @parkrunUK) to return the Womens & girls category including school sports days to women & girls. We have always been worthy of our own category free from any & all males

Pretending he was on Orton's level at this point, because he's the TNA champ would have been disingenuous. 20 mins back and forth classic between a main eventer, all-time great, and a Mania rookie, would have been absurd. You can watch those matches elsewhere if it's your thing.

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

How many people got to toss Randy Orton with a fallaway slam, and get some of their crowd pumping spots in, in a "squash match"?

Joe Hendry wasn't even meant to be on the Mania card. Was a huge moment for him. Loved to see it.

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

Night 1 main event ends with screwjobby finish.

Night 2 ends with ... Screwjobby finish.

Subconsciously I don't think I wanted to see more of what I'd already seen.

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

Realised thinking it over this morning, why some of the bits of Mania fell flat for me in night 2 main event.

Repetition.

AJ faces a moral dilemma spot. Turns down opportunity to use knucks.

Cody faces moral dilemma spot. Turns down opportunity to use belt.

continued...

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

... The end of the match, including Rap guy, was logical and all. Just felt flat and laboured rather than dramatic.

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

Finished wrestlemania.

thoroughly entertained by all of night 1. All of it.

Thought night 2 was a lot of fun too, but ending of the Cena/Cody match felt weak to me. Maybe I'm just old, and not American, so have no idea who Travis Scott is and didn't care about that whole bit...

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

The person you wanted to win, not winning, isn't the definition of "bad booking". Just sayin'

[Meltzer Said What? @MeltzerSaidWhat]

JBL said it best. @JCLayfield

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

Now I've had chance to catch up, if you think any of the fights last night were ruined by bad judging, or worse, you believe any of them were robberies, you're a dramatic fool who doesn't know how to score fights. That's all.

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

Nope.

[Nick Peet @Peety_Editor]

Those judges just robbed Jai Herbert. Robbed him blind. Scored it 30-27. Wasn’t sexy but Chris Padilla did absolutely nothing except occasionally clinch and throw knees to the thigh. That was ridiculous! #UFCLondon

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

If I'd known that meatball cretin was gonna get beat up, and retire, last night I'd have tuned in.

Most UFC events are garbage at this point but I'd have watched for that.

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

RIP big man

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

Did he have to?

Jon Moxley Overcame Travel Chaos to Appear at AEW Dynamite in Omaha https://t.co/J7XcJzVwls

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

And possibly some skin melting off or something.

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

Need help. Someone (don't remember who) posted a tweet (past year maybe) with a clip/trailer of a batshit horror film that made them think "what the fuck am I watching" because it was nuts (but good). Remember a scene that was on sand. I know, very very vague. What was it?

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

Zero hour was dreadful.

The main event was everything AEW didn't need.

But the rest of #AEWRevolution was fantastic.

[Stephen J Rivers @stephenjrivers]

Didn't stay up for it so will catch up tonight, but general consensus seems to be, outstanding show with a crap main event? #AEWRevoluion

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

Please do this if you have a moment. It would even potentially stop reasonable debate on if males should be allowed in sport for women & girls. We must fight for free speech. It’s a very slippery slope if we lose it

[Billboard Chris 🌎 @BillboardChris]

This cheater’s mom, Nereyda Hernandez, is sending cease and desist letters to moms like @RealJessTapia demanding they stop showing videos of her son at a public track meet stealing girls’ trophies.

He just won the long jump and the triple jump at a California event. He won the triple jump by 8 feet!

These cease and desist orders aren’t even written by a lawyer. 😂 She’s writing them herself, as if she has any authority to tell people to stop showing publicly available videos.

Hey, Nereyda. Maybe stop allowing your son to cheat and destroy girls’ sports. Seek help. Be a real mom.

Child transition is child abuse.
