So as you can see in the picture, I threw a party last year. AEW is a pro wrestling company, much like WWE. They had this big outdoor show at Wembley Stadium in London. Sold something like 80,000 tickets. We watched live on PPV.

It’s the first time I ever threw a wrestling watch party. I invited 4 people. I bought cheese, soft pretzels, bought chips/queso. I had vodka, whiskey, beer, and 3 different THC vape pens along with edible gummies. I also had coke (the soda), barqs root beer, and one of the special novelty mountain dew flavors.

I cooked chicken, and cut the cheese into cubes with individual toothpicks. I got out my good plates. And used the projector to make the screen 90 inches.

Only 2 people showed up. Nobody ate hardly anything. Nobody drank anything. Hardly anything was said. This picture was taken AFTER the party. We went through 1 bag of chips, and 1 1/2 jars of queso.

I literally could have just bought 1 bag of chips, 2 jars of queso, and saved $100 and 2 days of prep work.

I even had 2 different styles of BBQ sauce for the chicken.

Yes, it’s a year later, and I’m still mildly infuriated over it!

    spread + AEW sounds like a great time OP I think its possible that your friends are not pro-level friends but maybe something else is amiss?

    • live in ohio
    • not good at video games
    • only know 4 girls, all have same name
    • the guys were all white dudes with beard + glasses, couldn’t tell each other apart
    • invited mean guy

    if not one of those try getting pro friends

      …I DO live in Ohio…and not that good at video games. All the women I know have different names. I feel like I’m missing a reference with that, unless you ARE referencing the Oblongs, in which case bravo. There was one white dude with a beard, no glasses, but he didn’t show. No mean people.

      I’d love some pro friends. Got any that live near Cleveland?

        That’s crazy that I nailed it in 1 try

        Yeah I got people in Cleveland but they don’t like AEW because they are wrong about which things are good
