you’re allowed to be upset. Hopefully Mox will be able to work other dates once he’s not the main champ in AEW. After all he’s done for Tony, he deserves to work a deathmatch or two if that’s what he wants
hopefully mox is doing & gets to do whatever he wants & is best for him. just a lot of things that...are wrapped up in the contract.
like tk has to give permission for mox to work an indie show, tk has to ok the finish, gcw is apparently completely out of the question.
its just such a different vibe than before. its a lot more tight & controlled. if mox doesnt wanna be wrestling so many indie shows, that's fine. why does tk have to approve it? & apparently tk wanted him to stop indie wrestling entirely & mox himself said that it'll be harder now to do indie shows but if he really wants to then he will. which is good ig but what happened to "let my talent do shows they want that dont mess with aew."
we've also got a huge decline in mox bleeding on aew (which is fine i dont care that much i like blood others dont like it thats fine) & compared to like this time last year aew has completely, almost entirely moved away from *any & all* hardcore/deathmatch style matches.
i am upset & thank you for the reminder that

I wish pokemon home functionality would come day 1 tbh. I know why it doesn't, but the lack of gts is always a pain for version exclusives :/
Respectfully, I could not disagree more anon. I at least partially dread each time Home is added, because it means a shift back to normal usually.
Pre Home/Bank metas are my favorite, it's awesome being forced to use new strategies and the new Pokemon and having fun matches where everyone isn't just using the same legendary Pokemon they've been using for the past 20 years. Pre-Bank Gen 6 was one of my fondest memories ever, and then Bank got added and it was back to dancing around Landorus U-Turns.
And I prefer to avoid the GTS as much as humanly possible so, again, hard disagree there. Lots more fun getting to swap exclusives with people I actually know or at least can interact with

Now Experiencing: Family Trust Dispute Mediation
Honestly, there is so much I learned from doing this. It is crazy to me, that before this, when someone would rather sell their home and split the money for their kids instead of giving the kids a house-an asset that would increase in value or be usable-it seemed crazy to me. However, had that been done in my own family-it would of been better in most regards.
So, I was lucky enough to know both of my great grandparents. I love them, and parts of them inspire me to this day. I still hold myself as someone I would hope they would be proud of. I lost my great grandpa when I was little, he is the reason I am a reader today. My great grandma outlived him and is one of the strongest people I know. She passed just before I got married.
Of their kids, my grandpa, is the middle child. His older sister, was a smart but kind of useless person. Really, a shame for that intelligence to go to waste when the world could of really used it. The youngest, I was never really close to. It does not help that he was in and out of jail. But this story goes so much before and beyond that time frame.
The story is that my great grandmother dies, and to this day I can still remember the funeral. While I was really close to my grandma/grandpa growing up, as adults we had a falling out. While I am out of the picture, my grandparents pay rent for 40 years for a house they should have owned based on a gentleman's agreement made in the 80's. My great grandmother put everything into a trust after my great grandfather died and named the youngest the Successor Trustee. The estate itself has value in stocks, items, and properties.
My grandparents never received anything from the trust. They paid their rent, up until the end of 2023. Which, now looking back with my current occupational experience, is extremely absurd. I end up reconnecting with my grandparents and they ask me to help them with their situation. I read the trust and advise them on a couple of steps. Eventually I offer to be a mediator.
My first meeting as Mediator was a disaster. I have never felt so uncomfortable in a house that used to be filled with love. A couple of days later, I get a letter via my grandparents, from my great uncle asking me to mediate. I speak to him on the phone and agree to meet him alone in person. While I was not comfortable with it, based on how last meeting almost ended up in a screaming physical brawl, I put safe guards in place. Once I took a step back and took my feelings out of it-I had offered the same thing (unknown to my great uncle) to my grandparents. So I strove for fair.
I met with my great uncle and he let me know details on his end that helped to clear things up. So, after my great grandma passes in 2017-my great aunt and great uncle make trusts deeding their 1/3 of the estate to one another. Then they live off of their social security income, my grandparents rent, and the trust. My great aunt dies in 2021. So catching back up to 2024, where my grandpa was looking for a 50/50 split, the most that could be achieved is 1/3 and 2/3.
But then that assumes that the estate had anything left. There was less than $1,000 in the trust account and much had been sold over the years to keep everything above water. The biggest things to save at this point, was the houses. Each brother wanted the house they lived in. So I informed my grandpa about the state of affairs and honestly, it hurt to see him so damn heart broken. He is almost 70 years old and has been working his entire life to just be screwed over by his family.
I drafted a settlement agreement, and my lack of experience in this process starts to show. But I made the mistake of putting the small stuff with the large stuff. I ended up separating it and we got some traction back on this whole process. I got the settlement signed and picked a lawyer to do the final steps. Between the mishandling of the trust and nuances of the case, I was more worried about not doing these steps right. Like, me offering to do this from the goodness of my heart and making small mistakes is ok. But messing up the grant deeds? Nope.
So we ended up getting a quote for $1,450 as my great uncle did not even do the first step to be the Successor Trustee after my great grandmother died, means we needed affidavits and grant deeds. The other gray area is the parent child exclusion, which we may or may not be able to get. I got 2 copies of her death certificate to file with the grant deeds from Norwalk, did you know they now have an appointment system? It was pretty easy. My great uncle did not have the funds, and the lawyer wanted them upfront. So I set up a note to be paid back in 6 months.
I dropped off the paperwork to the lawyer and she got to work on the documents.
Moral of the Story: Money changes people. Blood needs to be nicer to one another. Bad parenting is so much worse than you would think it is. Legacy is what you make of it.
I was not a bad wannabe lawyer, for what essentially was my time, resources, and less than $2,000-we kept a little over 1 million dollars in assets in the family. This case though, made me question right and wrong, and how can family be so bad to one another? Where does this situation even begin at? Who, or how many people, need to mess up to have us end up here? Like, I know I can live with myself at the end of the day, as I was trying to honor my great grandparents/family legacy as best as I could-but did I even know the full legacy? Do I like knowing more now? This truly was an eye opening experience that I have no regrets doing. My advice to you reader, is avoid this with good parenting and estate planning.
