  1. I think it’s going to take someone else coming forward.
  2. Pyro dated Louanne Van Houten
  3. I think ideally you don't do shows on events. Especially the Takeovers. It's well considered but for workers and people backstage those things become a blur. Shows about people he worked with, Sting, Bobby Eaton, Dave Taylor, Christian Cage, etc. FWIW a show with Regal just talking about World of Sport would probably be worthwhile.
  4. I didn’t see the show and I’m loathe to give credit. But is it possible the appearance kept the scandal from hijacking the entire show?
  5. Del Rio is booked for a show in Lancaster (PA) in August, so he's back on the wrestling radar.
  6. Vince steps back from CEO, his daughter takes over and he's still in charge of creative. I'm not 100% sold on the sincerity.
  7. Maybe Vince survives this. But I doubt it goes away after a day. The core relationship is bad but if Vince pimped his mistress to Johnny Ace, that’s absolutely abhorrent and indefensible.

    I'd be sympathetic if it was just alcoholism. But getting behind the wheel puts innocent people at risk. To hell with Jeff Hardy.
  9. Imagine they're on mobile and autocorrect cuts in.
  10. Clearly with Regal if you ask him open-ended questions you are going to get a good interview. He won't dish dirt on people generally and he won't get into the trade secrets of wrestling. There's good stuff in his wheelhouse. British wrestling. Early '90s WCW. Bryan Danielson. Lizards apparently. The Man's Man gimmick, when by his own admission he was too messed up to perform, is such a backwards way of approaching it. But it will probably be 75% talking about Regal overcoming his addiction and it will be engaging anyway. The only trick is reigning in Regal, as I don't think he has any appreciation for the nuances of breaks and time cues. The version I listened to via Apple podcasts was interrupted only twice by short Conrad ad-reads, FWIW.
  11. Or worse. What if he kicks the boot off and it flies into the audience? You really don’t want to fuck around with fire if you don’t know what you’re doing.
  12. I was actually surprised that Brian Jr. put out a great statement about a woman who he obviously did not have a great relationship with.
  13. January Thixth
  14. Being overweight isn't an advantage in itself. It still hurts to get punched or hit in the stomach. It's harder to get up because you're pulling extra weight behind you. Not to say that Doudrop shouldn't work differently from an average girl but in kayfabe that stuff still hurts.
  15. I will never understand how they did that with Bryan. If a performer can not physically perform the essential duties of the contract, it should void the contract. Sasha and Naomi are a different matter as their absence is voluntary.
  16. It wasn't one strike in a larger picture. Carter was actively engaged in a domestic allegation and the picture pushed him over the edge of being more trouble than he's worth. That context matters. Unfortunately his position on the card matters. If this was an isolated incident Carter probably survives with his job. But he was in a tenuous position to start and I think the picture was a justification, not the only reason he was sacked.
  17. If Sasha is stuck with her WWE contract she pretty much has to go Hollywood to have any leverage.
  18. That’s my boat as well. Tessa being a failure is a Tessa problem. There’s SO much good female talent right now to take her spot.
  19. I don’t have a problem generally with WWE releasing wrestlers. Athletes in major legitimate sports get sent down, it’s cutthroat and there’s always more talent coming up. The capricious and seemingly random nature of it is depressing though and it has to be hell on the talent.
  20. I mean, the only shock is they said it out loud.
  21. It's not uncommon to see a multi-man "loser unmasks or loses hair" match at TripleMania.
  22. I’m a Philadelphia Union fan. It helps to have a local team to support and their park really hits the mark.
  23. Wwe even put out a dvd collection and grouped everything together from Kiniski to Jeff Hardy.
  24. Becky is cosplaying David Bowie here, right?
