1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Work Of Wrestling host Tim Kail stumbled upon a fascinating thread on Bluesky that detailed the history of AEW's Heels - a program for women and femme-presenting wrestling fans to forge a community and also get exclusive access to AEW talent and other perks for $49/year. In this thread Jislaine (@cholulaconamor.bsky.social) also detailed how these programs have been put on pause following shifts in leadership. With the annual renewal date getting ever closer, and less frequent updates from AEW, this community may be reaching a cross roads. Jislaine joins Tim to discuss the Heels program, it's successes and growth over the past several years, and the effect recent events have had on the Heels membership. Jislaine also reminisces about watching wrestling with her brother as children, opens up about what it was like to grow up watching wrestling during The Attitude Era and how it gave her some &quot;messed up&quot; ideas about women, how she's found a great and diverse community in Heels, and why wrestling fans need to broaden their scope to appreciate the art.
