in the U.S. right now. People online like to criticize Dark and act like it’s some sort of demotion. Us wrestlers want to wrestle. We use dark to get reps and make ourselves better! The fans paying attention to it are rewarded in the long run!
Sick of this narrative.
Malakai chose to work with me while Fenix was out. HE pitched the story and unfortunately illness/injury stalled/derailed the story he wanted to tell. He believed in me and got me my first tv promo time because he saw fans get behind me in the 1st 6 man!
This was supposed to be a one off match. Malakai saw the reaction I got and decided to do a small program with me until Fenix returned from injury.
I got 3 TV matches, and my first TV promo time. The only real story I got to do not involving Miro or Sammy. Bumped my ass off.
‘Wrestling has more than one royal family.’
RIP Fuego 2. But seriously there will never be another Fuego 2, 3, 4 or whatever. Let the joke and idea rest with my boy and let me move on to more serious things. Haha
Breaking my own rule here as a warning. Don’t interact with Outrage accounts or engagement farming accounts like this. I’ve talked to Jade personally, she knows the huge spot WWE has for her and is working like hell behind the scenes to kill it when the opportunity comes.
As a father my heart breaks for the family he leaves behind. Sending my thoughts and prayers to the friends, family and fans of one of the most unique, charismatic, and hardworking brothers in wrestling history.

This man won’t boast about all the people he helped behind the scenes but as much as we’ve disliked each other, you’d have to be ignorant not to give him his flowers.
Not only for his backstage work, but in ring work is world class, those that pay real attention know that.
I asked Punk one time what goes into the long boys vs short boys decision, thinking it was something deep, and he popped me and said it depends on if and when he wants to shave his thighs.

Only commenting on this because there are still articles and comments that are using me and my birthday to comment on Omega.
I love Omega as much as the next fan. He told socials not to post about his birthday last year. Learn how to UNTAG me before you spew your hate and B.S.!
I respect SRS and his team, they messaged me and said the headline was an oversight and said they’d rework the headline. They deleted the tweet.
I understand everything can and will be taking out of context.
However for those that overreacted to a headline, I’ll never stop
So Incredibly happy for two of my best friends in the world! Couldn’t miss this match and especially not this announcement! I love you two and I know you’ll be incredible parents! Can’t wait for you both to get to experience the joy a child brings!
Last night I pinned QT Marshall and won the AAA Latin American Championship…
For about 3 minutes… then a second referee came out and restarted the match due to where QT’s foot landed after I nailed the Tornado DDT. Robbed.
I’ll have more highlights and thoughts soon…
I saved and held back so much of my crazy arsenal, in hopes to bust it out in a big tv match that never came… so much so that people didn’t even fully see the extent of my creativity, athleticism and hint of crazy.
Time for me to reintroduce myself…
One year ago today my life changed forever! All my hard work & dedication was rewarded. In many ways it feels like I’ve barely scratched the surface here in AEW. Grateful to
@AEW
,
@TonyKhan
, my peers & incredible fans for making this year the best of my career! Here’s to Year 2!
I was training in ring before Dynamite yesterday and I was doing some neck bridging and Danielson was impressed by how strong my neck was. As flattered as I was I now know why he’s being dodging me. He’s scared of strong necks!
People are mad because he used a real example but
@EFFYlives
is right.
I was signed for 2 years but only had maybe 12 tv matches, is that good exposure? Yes, but will that bring in real drawing power, no. Effort, passion, personality brings people back over 3 letters on a poster.
A former EVP once told me the definition of someone being “over” in wrestling is exaggerated at times.
Sometimes the fans get behind someone and they get a lot of momentum for a short time, but over is being able to maintain that, move merch AND tickets for years not just months.
Haha someone posted a video with all 64 of my AEW losses.
Always went out of my way to make everyone and everything look good and this video reminded me of all the respect I garnered during my tenure there. Earned every bit of it and will continue to strive to be a consummate
The town I live in, Sulphur, Oklahoma, was hit by two back to back devastating tornadoes last night.
It destroyed the gym I go to, houses, restaurants, gas stations, and most of downtown Sulphur.
Thankfully it missed my house. But last night was one of the scariest of my life.
Surgery Complete! And we have some good news! All ligaments are in tact so hopefully the recovery time won’t be as long as initially thought! The road to the comeback starts now! Thanks for all the support!
It sucks. But to my colleagues who’ve gotten that dreaded phone call… there is light at the end of the tunnel, there are plenty of places to work, and as bad as it feels right now, I promise… it will get better!
I’ve seen every bit of of discourse you can imagine about me the past few days.
In this business you have to take all the bad, with all the all good.
But for those that have supported me along this journey,
@sammyguevara
saved me some time to speak to you on the Vlog tomorrow.
Tried to talk myself out of it. Convinced myself I wasn’t qualified yet, but looking at the options in my state I realized I have a ton of knowledge to pass on and how big of a help I could be. With the proper curriculum and mentorship from successful trainers, why not do it.
I’d rather shoot for the stars and be called crazy or overconfident rather than sitting back, being mediocre and not be talked about at all!
Working my ass off for the life I’m destined for!
I ❤️🔥 PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING!
Devastated to say I need surgery that will keep me from doing what I love for at least 3 months.
This a a clip from a recent seminar I did. I hope to do more along with meet and greets while I’m out.
The comeback will be greater than the setback!
I have
@ringsidenews
blocked for clickbait out of context bullshit like this so this has just come to my attention now. I didn’t blame Cody for a second for my departure! Cody is a mentor to me & was one of the main reasons I even got signed. The full quote tells the real story.
I go in for surgery on my foot tomorrow and as I talked about on my stream yesterday.. this is a new challenge mentally for me. I’ve always worked for myself and kept my calendar full, but this is going to require a new level of patience I haven’t prepared for. But I’ll be back..
4 Months… 4 long months of surgeries, doctor visits, rehab, and a ton of deep introspection, all culminating in my return to the ring last night!
Coming through that curtain I had a multitude of feelings, but what I felt the most was pure joy. WE ARE BACK!
Injury Update Thread…
Last week the x-rays confirmed the dislocation of my right foot, they believed I only had one minor fracture.
After the CT scan upon further examination, today they determined I actually fractured my foot in 5 DIFFERENT PLACES!
Damn.
Obviously tonight was not a proper representation of the hard work I’ve been doing.
Along with my toughness I am very self aware, confident, and smart.
I realize changes need to be made to move forward and I’m creative enough to make that happen.
Thanks for the support!
Had an amazing time at
@KindaFunnyVids
today! Been a best friend for years and to see what they have built is truly amazing! Had a blast making content with them!
The essence of what made BTE special was the subtle long-term storytelling.
Real friendships interwoven into wrestling stories as a way to strike real emotion.
It’s all validated when you listen to the pop when The Elite slid into that ring with Hangman. Goosebumps.
My last AEW Match before I broke my foot and then later released.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
However true maturity is understanding that sometimes your opinion may be in the minority and to never be so entitled that you believe your opinion to be fact.
If you don’t have this match on your
#AEWDark
list then it’s not valid.
Started QT’s turn, got AEW to seriously consider me, and it was built up for months and delivered. First Tornado DDT I ever hit in AEW! Forever will be proud of this match and story.
OHHH YEAHHH!!!!
The FUEGO EXPERIENCE has just begun! New entrance just in time for the New Year!
Check out the full show and match on the

channel!
I’ve refused to download TikTok for years.
Twitter, IG, Reddit, and Facebook already take more of my time than I would like and yet I still get sucked into there Reels and YouTube Shorts at times. Am I crazy or do you respect my restraint/stubbornness?
People will judge and try to put you in a box of what they perceive you to be.
Don’t be hindered by other people’s opinion. Focus on what you know you’re going to become.
Some may not see it but they also don’t see all the hard work you do in private.
Stay on your Grind.

in the gym tonight. Hot angles, some fun matches, some entertaining promos, overall I enjoyed it and it gave me some motivation to hit this workout even harder. Looking forward to the future!
Big thanks to the DC fans that showed me love last night! Sorry I couldn’t give you more but if you stick with me the continued support will all pay off! I promise!
While I wear my heart on my sleeve, I keep my personal life close to the vest… I’ve had so much time to self reflect. No matter how much I get down, these 3 girls always cheer me up! My motivation for all I’ve done, the recovery I’m doing and all the work I’m going to do!
