For those unaware, ever since the US Presidential Election there has been a mass exodus of users from Twitter/X over towards Bluesky and this also includes several pro wrestlers, wrestling media and promotions beginning to use Bluesky as their official social media of choice.

For those who are on Bluesky, ImADifferentBird has put together a starter pack of Bluesky users who are part of this ‘Wrestlesky’ community, and there are several others as well.

There are currently several pro wrestling feeds on Bluesky, listed below:

Primary pro wrestling feed

Puroresu feed

Joshi feed

Wrestling art

To date, AEW and TNA have both joined (ROH too but they aren’t active yet) and we’ve been seeing a big influx of pro wrestlers coming in and reactivating old accounts or creating brand new ones.

Should there be any wrestlers or anyone else you want to point out specifically, drop the info in the comments below (and/or recommend them to the maintainers of any starter packs if they aren’t listed).

Hopefully we’ll be able to do away with posting twitter links entirely soon!

Edit: EVE, NJPW, and Maple Leaf Pro have all also joined!

    Thanks for posting this! And also thanks for highlighting my starter pack.

    I just wanted to add one helpful tip; a lot of feeds on Bluesky gather posts based on both hashtags and emoji used in them, and the emoji for the main pro wrestling feed is 🤼. If you post about wrestling on Bluesky, it will probably get picked up by the feed if you hashtag it appropriately, but include the emoji if you can just to be sure.

      And should something show up in the feed that shouldn’t be there (you may on occasion receive adult related content, or non-wrestling related fanart) in the feed - Settings > Moderation, there will be several options for hiding keywords, hashtags, and numerous levels of visual obfuscation settings to help remove them from the feed.

      It could happen, but with the influx of people the last few days it may not happen often anymore.
