My thoughts on many things from lurking on the timeline today.

other unrelated topics, and/or the person you're speaking to, you have crossed the line several times over.
Regarding AEW Heels:
YES, there are things that could be better explained, addressed, etc., be it the price, what they're offering, what their plans are and such.-- 2/

It's not going to be perfect this go round. Even when you do long term planning things don't always end up how they were first envisioned or thought about.

from AEW Heels. The group isn't about how AEW is booking people, or how the company is run, or about what X, Y, Z does in their daily lives.

It's not going to be for everyone. It might not appeal to you. That's okay! Though I enjoyed the Heels meeting that I was fortunate enough to attend, I've found it might not be my thing. Which is fine!

things. What if I don't have $50? What if I just want certain content for a different amount of money? Who all is allowed to attend the meetings? What are some key things that will be focused on in the meetings? What am I getting out of this?

that's also totally fine! Things are bound to change as they get feedback and gauge what works and what doesn't, what's been helpful, enjoyable, etc.
And if you can only say awful, horrible things? Just don't. Please stop tearing people down over it. 8/

Regarding Brandi and what I've seen:
She's said time and time again that the women's division isn't her jurisdiction. Continuing to blame and attack her for everything going on with it is rude and unnecessary. NONE of the many awful things I read should have been said.-- 9/

Could things have been worded better at times from both parties? Yes. There's no excuse for some of the things that were said, regarding Heels, the division, or the conversing parties. Reading through some of the threads was migraine inducing. Just... Stop it. Please. 10/
As far as AEW's women's division goes:
I get that there are many things people are unhappy about with it. I do. There are things I'M not happy about with it. But Rome wasn't built in a day, and while there may be things that could be done that aren't being done-- 11/

you have to give it time. I know some of you are going to go off about promises made, lack of tv time, awful management, it's so and so's fault, it's been a year, etc. I GET IT. Do make your thoughts known, but PLEASE stop threatening and attacking people over it all. 12/
Regarding intergender wrestling:
There are always going to be people against it: fans, wrestlers, and others. Like what you like. Still, the matches are between CONSENTING adults who are happy and willing to get in the ring against another wrestler regardless of gender.-- 13/

Wrestlers know how to do their jobs, so why not let them wrestle who they want? It CAN and HAS been done safely before and it's produced some really great matches and let others show off what they can do against a different kind of opponent than they've previously faced.-- 14/
And if it's not your thing? That's fine. But please don't go around telling people what they should and shouldn't like, what they should and shouldn't do, especially the wrestlers. Everyone likes different things. Your opinion isn't fact, so don't treat it like it is, please. 15/
And just in general for today:
If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it. If it's clear the person you're talking to and you disagree and things might escalate unnecessarily, just step away. You can give an opinion and still be open-minded to others. You don't always-- 16/

have to say everything you're thinking because some things just shouldn't be said.
You don't have to bash something that doesn't seem appealing now when it could easily change and improve later. Agree to disagree sometimes. Don't fuel and encourage the negativity.-- 17/

Just... Be kind to people. Think before you tweet because what might not bother you may deeply affect someone else and drive them away.
