I suspect if TKO gets their boxing promotion off the ground, however that ends up looking, they will probably be streaming the big fights on Netflix.

The craziest part is that it wasn't even necessary to do that either. Her music, while it honestly wasn't terrible, was about a decade behind the times of what was popular so it was going to be a case of a problem solving itself sooner than later. It wasn't like he was snuffing out a potential Taylor Swift in the making.

Well Cornette is pretty vocal about both his political and wrestling views, it's just interesting to me that the way he acts expressing his wrestling views mirrors closely the way people who express political opinions opposite to his act. ...and honestly the fact that he acts the same about pro wrestling opinions (that have zero impact on people's lives) the way some folks act about their political opinions (which absolutely do have impact on people's lives) is both hilarious and sad to me. Like I get it, he's spent his life in the business but he's managed to turn himself into Old Man Yelling At Clouds when he was one of the premier historians of wrestling. He still is, but it makes you less likely to want to listen to him when he goes off on his hate boner rants.

AEW isn't mocking or abusing pro wrestling just because TK doesn't book like a southern rasslin territory from 1984. Like I said, it's fine if AEW isn't his cup of tea but the level of hate he brings toward them for seemingly no reason other than just having a style he doesn't like is ridiculous. What's equally ridiculous is him doing that then feigning shock or surprise when someone says or does something toward the company that could make him look bad since it was clearly inspired by his rantings. I don't go anywhere near Twitter anymore for numerous (and obvious) reasons, but the first few years of AEW the largest percentage of folks anti AEW were parroting Cornette talking points nearly verbatim, yet he has the testicular fortitude to act shocked when some goof attempts to act on it. Ironically he ends up sounding a lot like the right wingers he also tends to rail against who say dumb shit to their following then act surprised when their followers end up doing dumb shit because of the things they say.

He also more than once implied Kenny is a pedo due to his involvement with women's wrestling in Japan. Plus it's one thing for something to not be one's cup of tea, but his irrational hate boner towards all things AEW make me wonder if he tried hitting up TK for a job at one point and was shot down.

So Lash and Nia had a pretty entertaining big meaty women slapping meat match on NXT.

What's really funny is depending on what's up with Naomi, Stephanie might not even have a match on the show.

Well technically *pushes up glasses* Van Gogh painted that based on the view from the window of the asylum he was at in France, so there is somewhat of a connection.

I would expect Kross to show up in GCW since he's already done Bloodsport and appearing in TNA would be too much of a dead giveaway that its all storyline.

So the Karrion Kross stuff is weird. Apparently his (and Scarlett's) contract expired today and WWE moved them to the Alumni section of the website. Kross went on to post part two of his story on Youtube where he stated someone in WWE was telling him to ignore the crowd support he was getting, and whoever was discussing a new contract with him wasn't on the same page as him in terms of what the expectations are. Now WWE is in a "everything is a work except when it isn't a work, and even then it's still a work" phase after the R Truth and Rollins stuff, but what's odd to me is he's always been a Hunter Guy. When he was in the last round of cuts Vince was around for, Hunter made sure to bring him back despite there really being no demand for it, and continually featuring him to little to no reactions. Now suddenly he's got this online buzz and Hunter just lets his contract lapse? So either its a work and WWE is trying to gaslight everyone into thinking there's some great online groundswell for him, or its a shoot and Hunter suddenly lost faith in someone he went out of his way to go to bat for not that long ago.

Ishii is such a great choice for Kyle's first title defense. A banger of an opener for Collision. I'm shocked TK has resisted having Ultimo Dragon make a cameo when Mercedes is going around with all those belts.

They feel they should push him somewhat since he got some buzz online when he made some folks think he was going into business for himself during interviews on Mania weekend.

He used to be over 500 pounds, and he said his current weight of 299 is the lightest he's been since middle school. Also your first impression wasn't that far off, he was involved with drugs and did prison time when he was younger, something that the heels brought up in the buildup.

All things considered that was a great performance by Jelly Roll. Dude gets it.

Both these ended up being accurate, still surprised Charlotte managed to win over the fans.
