- Reposted by PWI Pro Wrestling IllustratedWe're mere weeks away from the PWI Women's 250 😍
- Reposted by PWI Pro Wrestling IllustratedI don’t think WWE ID is done. But I do think it’s noteworthy that we’ve seen three of the four women under those deals announce they’re either not renewing or not being renewed. The program has been mostly male prospects since the beginning, so I hope some new women are signed 🤼♂️
- Reposted by PWI Pro Wrestling IllustratedRevolutionary optimism will work if you fight. Same as prayer or manifestation. These things still require effort on your part. Everything won’t be a win at first, and the victories can feel like they’re coming too slow. However, those wins are happening and it’s because of the work we’re doing now
