well if I'm back to spouting cryptic bullshit about strickpage under this tag I may as well ask if anyone else noticed when Swerve posted 'I'm back fuck boi', and returned with the new profile pic, but also privated all his social media since mid-June 2024?
I'm genuinely so happy for FinJay. The way Jay's head whipped up as soon as the Dogs' theme started playing and wiped his face to make sure he was composed and looked good. The long cut to Juice who's going through seven layers of PTSD at getting dragged back in the middle of this even though he was an integral part of it. The cut back to Jay White who has the cutest little smile on his face like he can't hide it as yup, here comes Finlay decked out to the absolute nines like he hasn't ever been in AEW. This isn't War Dogs massive coat Finlay this is expensive tailored date night shirt and you Know he smells incredible but my favorite part isn't the three buttons that immediately break and give way to a fourth when he gets his hands on Jay, no, it's the fact that Clark definitely helped him pick out terrible fashionista cowboy boots and he's got one boot with his pants tucked in and one leg loose like he was in front of the mirror worrying about which looked better right up until the last second and ran out of time and all of a sudden it wasn't important anymore
I can smell Orange Cassidy being squeezed to snapping by the day like oil from rinds.
It naturally feels like it's going to be a truly 'reluctant' heel turn, but that doesn't mean he's doing 'whatever'. What we're seeing is what happens when the chillest, calmest introvert you know is ignored and pushed past their limits, then ignores the warning lights, and keeps going until the day comes they no longer can.

Trying to bully him into taking a match when he's already fought once that night or hasn't had time to prepare...
Using an injured babyface you have incredibly minimal ties to as the barest excuse to insert yourself into the situation and get crowd sympathy, not giving him a mic or letting him respond properly while you take the high ground in the ring to get crowd approval...
Accusing him of cheating when he's just had yet another squeaky clean title defense that's a massive technical victory even commentary recognized as historically significant...
MJF offers a title shot but with a stipulation that exposes the fact they're just doing this for clout and aren't really confident they can beat him, and I'm guessing a similar thing as with Hangman will happen where Kenny tries to weasel out of it and blame it on MJF (but gets pushed through with it anyways?)
I see we're having Kenny just rerun the Hangman and Darby Allin playbooks with MJF but even less subtle, huh.
MJF sweetie you're too good for them, why must the Devil always offer these louts a deal, they're just going to try to cheat and get out of it with their soul AND the pot of gold.
Most Beloved Wrestler Ship Tournament
ROUND 1 - Matchup #40
Strickpage (Adam Page X Swerve Strickland)
Protocallis (Don Callis X Kyle Fletcher)
Propaganda:
Strickpage
-Drank each other’s blood, do absurd hardcore matches showing a lot of trust and a lot of kink. -There is something wrong with them -Chemistry out of the charts. Super handsome together. Crazy crazy men. -He drank his blood. And it's not like they're the first wrestlers to partake in a bit of blood drinking but they had to double down on the psychosexual overtones with hangman saying "you are with me forever" and swerve saying there's a part of him within hangman and they're "bound together for a long time" and this was just when the feud was getting going -soulmates but also world's most toxic situationship -enemies to lovers to It's Complicated, hangman drank his blood also -they’re soulmates they’re two sides of the same coin they’re each other’s mirror image they’re a blessing and a curse upon the other and also their texas death match restructured my synapses i think
Protocallis
-toxic age gap/power imbalance/etc relationship but they seem very happy together
Swerve is dropping unreleased songs about their early days and hints in lyrics about their time together before AEW and it's making me listen to his first album again and want to start dropping small edits of my favorite insane easter eggs
What I'm looking forward to this year in AEW isn't adding to the most stacked tag team division in history or even getting more guaranteed women's match of the year contenders; it's establishing a real fight for the title of 'Most Insane Long-Running Homoerotic Feud in Wrestling History' between StrickPage and new contender FinJay, I think they really might have a shot this year.
a good ol’ test of strength

this is a nyla rose positivity post
happy pride month, AEW’s first and only transfem champion nyla rose hasn’t been on tv since rampage ended, which is about 18 months ago. since there are a lot of fans who only started watching in that time period, that means that they might not have seen her at all before!
so call to action: can you please share YOUR favourite nyla moment in the notes on this post? matches, promos, funny tweets, whatever! it doesn’t have to be in AEW. also curious to hear what it meant for you to see a trans Black/native champion in mainstream wrestling 🫶
I was lucky enough to see her live twice now and the first time was specifically so important (the second match was a rumble, which slapped but wasn't Nyla focused). I got to see her win the EVE Championship from her now tag partner Nightshade (they're current tag champs together in Marvelous in Japan as OP said in notes) August of last year and yeah that match fucking slapped and I specifically remember us all crowding the ring afterwards and slapping the apron to celebrate!! it was especially important to watch a trans woman win the main title in a women's only promotion on terf island in 2025 (and extra cool to see a trans woman of colour do so)
also gonna tag @himbos-hotline to make sure he's seen this since pup is a big nyla fan
just a little of a nyla fan lol. ANYWAY. yeah weve seen her a few times in EVE: once when she won the world title and standing around the apron, hands and fists slamming against the apron; heat pinching at my skin. that was something akin to being reborn to me, seeing a trans woman of colour to win the biggest title in a womans only promotion means so much as someone who can't transition past socially right now: she's so beloved and important to me and theres a rant that i've stolen from my discord dms
nyla is incredibly important to me as a trans guy who isnt allowed to live and has the constant fear that he isnt "right" in places and then youve got a trans woman whose so utterly beloved and trusted and cared about that shes carved an unbreakable legacy and how she shows that yeah you can live and its gonna be scary and its gonna be dark sometimes but you will eventually have people who see you and let you BE, and you will have a place where youre meant to live, not just exist...yeah....
I got her jacket at one EVE, when she lost the world title where the professional taken picture was taken, it now sits on my desk chair and sometimes i just stare at it and go "she saw me, we spoke and i never once got misgendered." she has one of my willow nightingale bracelets and when i met her [unplanned and a gift from the photographer who took that picture] I cried so hard. Sometimes i think that nyla is the only reason why not only we are still creating things [she told us we have a gift and whoever shits on us fuck them] but why i am still living. the future might not be mine, but a small part of my soul was saved when she cradled my hands between hers and when she cradled me to her.
nyla is a hero in a way i cannot verbalise. She's so nice and kind and funny.

JungleCorpse (Darby Allin X Jack Perry)
Chrisdrew (Chris Brookes X Drew Parker)
Propaganda:
JungleCorpse
-he set him on fire <3 -THEYRE PERFECT FOR EACHOTHER, THEY WANNA EQUALLY KILL AND FUCK EACHOTHER AND THE FANFICS ARE AMAZING -Chemistry! They're so similar in a lot of ways, just the introvert and extrovert of the same guy. Their personalities play off each other so well: banter, animosity, begrudging respect. Plus, Darby literally set Jack on fire. You can't get hotter than that.
Chrisdrew
-They knew eachother for ages on the indies, chris put drew forward for his first major deathmatch and helped him with a gimmick that got him over before that. They both moved to japan within months of eachother and became inseparable. They started a promotion together which chris still runs now drew is back in the uk. Chris was sometimes ringside for drews huge title matches in japan amd would bandage him up. They both are vocal about their love for eachother. Chris invited drew rhe the christmas day chocopro filming because it was lock down. They would do twitch streams together and commentary together for TJPW. When drew retired and left japan, chris nearly cried as he closed a show of the promotion they started together when he mentioned how drew would usually do the closer. After drew came back to wrestling they'they'd had a few interactions online but then people found out drew had been to visit him in japan with neither of them postinf anything about it. People only found out when chris sent out his merch the next month which includes chekis uou can buy, and one was off the two of them! They havent wrestled eachother in ages until a match last year which was genuinely the most real raw match i've ever watched, where drew burst into tears at the end of it because they've been through so much together and apart and this felt so real and cathartic for them both.

I haven't dusted off the Strickpage Scholar tag in a while for multiple reasons, partially because I moved to TIDAL from Spotify so it's been hard to track Hangman's half of the story there but I need to document some of the insane bullshit they threw at us for this Pride month.
The best has to be the middle of the month of course, when Swerve baited Hangman by implying that not only did he let Leon Ruff hit it, and slap him around while he did, and that he was better even though his dick wasn't as big...
But that they were gonna do it again. Swerve replies to Leon with a Minion kissy gif.
Hangman responded by breaking his silence within an HOUR with an absolutely insane bluesky post that didn't even maintain just his usual set of coding but used Swerve's too as well just sounding unhinged and horny so success! (God I can't wait for him to come back.)
I'm just saying that a minion looks like a bumblebee and there's a history with posts of coneflowers and to quote Hanger's alt on that post:
And that insane phrase he threw in that isn't at all like him was actually two song lyrics like Swerve does, like he can't decide which he wants to do. One is one where he's back to 'i fucking hate you I'll burn your world beg me for forgiveness' and the other is 'be at this hotel room at this time' and recognizing Swerve's more nostalgic reach outs about how he was there before all the fame and money and liked him before Hangman was Hangman and it all went wrong but there's nothing can be done about that now.
(Not getting into the perennials and rabbits or tying in longer elements about Swerve and Hangman being pre-AEW sweethearts that's coming up again, as well as the version of Hangman he was getting along with kinda over the winter being dead since revolution and back to the one who wants him dead and also the young bucks drug laundering private jet money stolen plotlines... Look don't worry about it)
And then they apparently fucked nasty (derogatory) from their usual fucking nasty (positive) because Swerve's next post was shade from my Fave Doja Cat song...
Bonus: Today after the PPV might be the most sexual / homoerotic thirst trap Swerve has posted in a LONG time but it was hidden in a batch so no one is appreciating it but as ever, I appreciate the work being put in.
TL;DR: the StrickPage bullshit lives folks. Be patient.
I absolutely missed this, thank you. But yes, uh... Bowling Alleys and Bowling Greens definitely... Yes. My genius search skills (pun definitely not intended) are rusty af, and Hanger did something Swerve doesn't do that often anymore barring intentional misspellings by changing the words.
So let's see if this was a triple meaning because he's that kind of extra bitch where he was NOT answering a text message until he got horny ragebaited badly enough that he posted one both so over the top and obviously dripping with barely concealed layers of sexual innuendo, his usual floriography coding nonsense, and no less than three songs that still make him sound unhinged as fuck, or if I just called it wrong:
BlueSky
get on your knees, pray to god: the birds and the bees
So everything Hangman posts on Bluesky is lowercase, which doesn't help here. Swerve does a lot of the same but he'll sometimes capitalize which helps track things down, but Hanger is once again co-opting his style. So no clues will come from capitalizing or lack thereof, which is why I focused on punctuation/breakup. Specifically the comma and colon are very distinctive and I couldn't find them replicated anywhere exactly the same, which made me thinking it had to be two parts, since that's what a colon does. You're gonna get on your knees, pray to God, and the result is gonna be the birds and the bees, if you know what I mean (not subtle bb).
But, you have managed to find a song that has all the words except changing the pronoun, which makes this much less of a horny angry thing, with a Hangman style anxiety about being a lucky amateur (no buckshot lariat finisher stipulation match when) and I think that's definitely relevant for multiple reasons.
Bowling Alley
Sometimes I get on my knees
Pray to God, the birds and the bees
Wickerman
"Get on your knees and beg me not to kill you and your family!" "Get on your knees, you pray to God that I don't change my mind!”
So this was the one I was most hesitant about when I went back and looked at how niche it was, but I stand by it. The hanged man on the cover, the themes of fire and revenge, the cyclical death and Phoenix rebirth and wanting to kill the man but being unable to because you need him to beg and you can't articulate why you feel what you do in your chest...
The Birds and the Bees has a few options that make sense, Baby Keem fit best for larger plot, but this freestyle rap by Mystikal which alludes to their on again off again nature and Swerve's lightning gimmick also works well.
Did I partially really like Baby Keem's because of "You be actin' shy in person, but be tweakin' online" and that made me laugh? Yes. But also I think that one, with Baby Keem's multiple personas on different days, with a different girl for each day of the week, works well for the themes and maybe even the contradictory tones of three or four different messages from one person about a topic. (Hey I feel like I saw something like that from a little goblin in gay shorts with an umbrella recently, I forget who).
TY for the note as ever, all the top comments on bluesky with Hanger's weird post still coo over his garden and don't mention the aggressive sexual religious overtones. Bumblebee! ...MJF was rig-
Have I mentioned this month how much I love the Young Bucks easter eggs? Because I really really do.
They came out and I immediately said:
"Oh, Seahawks colors! So they're absolutely going to win. Because the Seahawks winning the Superbowl in California this year was a forgone conclusion before they even showed up to the stadium, it was just a question of how thoroughly they were going to beat the Patriots. Victory run!"
We spent most of that match talking about how cool Mascara Dorada and Shingo Takagi are, how hilariously biased Rick Knox continues to be about Bucks matches, and were still delighted and surprised by a Young Bucks double pin.
That's great shit. Love that. Love them.
