Yeah Scott getting a free pass on what by all accounts should have been another racially questionable 90s WWF gimmick is a real underrated testament to his ability. The amount of "when I told my mother/uncle/other family member that Razor wasn't really Latino, they told me they don't care they still consider him one of us" was hilarious and heartwarming.

Well there was that weird period where she was dating New Jack and posting photos of her face all bloody (like wrestling bloody not domestic violence bloody). Plus her daughter works for AEW as a photographer and she might not want to create any family drama.

WWE likes to check boxes for their HOF inductions, and Sharmell hits two of the things they are looking for,

Doing the usual between-the-lines interpretation of Dave when he talks about these sort of things, it seems like WWE wants to do with Cody what AEW did with Punk and not actually say he's coming but dropping all sorts of hints so people expect him to show up. If you notice, they kept saying "nightmare" and purposely scripted that backstage Seth promo to get the crowd to chant for Cody (and they didn't drown it out like WWE has been known to do with chants they don't want).

NJPW World announced in honor of his passing, they will make available for free the Nash/Hall/Chono vs Mutoh/Steiner Bros six man from 1997.

Yeah the best times would have been either immediately when news broke that he was leaving, or tonight in Jacksonville just for the symbolic "middle finger to AEW" aspect. Now it's been long enough that Cody's been replaced as the Hot Wrestling Topic about 5 times since, AEW had one of the most ridiculously stacked PPVs ever, and now Cody going to WWE would make him come off like a geek for leaving the hot company to go to a place where he's likely to get pushed aside when it matters for old men and celebrities.

I wonder if WWE has any awareness of how "top star in the company has nothing to do for Wrestlemania" says more about them than the person involved.

So either KO wins, and Cody comes out to confront Seth, or KO wins and WWE pisses off the Jacksonville crowd. Sounds like must see TV either way.

I would probably be more into this new heel Edge if he didn't look like part of the Blue Man Group.

If for no other reason Kenny is very fluent in Japanese so without him (and with Shida going back to Japan for a while recently) the communication barriers for Emi would probably be pretty rough. There's always going to be the whole "wrestling is a universal language" deal, but there's only so far that can take you working a 5 minute Dark match.

I don't think Waltman was even trying to scold anyone, just stating a fact that it is weird seeing RIP for a loved one when they technically aren't dead yet.

Anyone jumping in now is going to get fleeced, only the early adopters will ever see any money like any other good Ponzi scheme/MLM

Genuinely shocked it took this long considering wrestling's history as a bunch of carnies working marks.

Kevin Nash just posted that once Scott's family is all together they will discontinue his life support.

AJ Francis had the best shot of success in WWE, I'll say that much. Dude can talk, is big, and can move for someone his size. I was shocked when he wasn't kept on when everyone else was cut, but then they all probably sealed their own fates when they spoke out against them cutting B-Fab first.

Per FIghtful, the plan was to do the New Day vs Sheamus, Ridge and BIG DADDY BUTCH at Wrestlemania

Can't be Steve if Austin is coming back, he'll be Gavin instead.

BUTCH ,,,,,the mind boggles

This might be cheating just because tag teams are more or less mid card by design in WWE, but New Day/Usos has been going on seemingly forever yet you're never tired of seeing them face off.

This is probably why Cash made a point to mention on Twitter to announce that FTR would be making a select few independent bookings, give Tony plausible deniability if somehow Warner finds out they had a match with them in like GCW or whatever.

That reasoning just kills me..... you don't think someone belongs in the locker room? Tell them to GTFO then. Throw their shit in the hallway if you feel the need to make a small-dick Alpha male statement. His brain jumping directly to "my balls in your face" as his go to just screams sociopath.

What's alarming is Aries not only admitting what he did, but seemingly thinking it was okay because "she didn't belong there". Classic blend of carny ass wrestling mindset with a Napoleonic serial sexual abuser.

According to Fightful, don't expect the Briscoes in AEW anytime soon as there is someone important at WarnerMedia who's aware of Jay's homophobic tweets and isn't a fan.

Apparently Regal went over his time on that promo and as a consummate pro felt bad about it. On one hand I get it, but on the other Regal should have been allowed to talk however the fuck long he wants and if your match time got cut then too bad.

Yeah it's one thing to believe Rey can chop down a giant by darting around him like a hummingbird until they pass out, It's a whole dfferent story seeing Adam Cole muscling down Keith Lee in a side headlock that isn't setting up the Jerry Lawler/Andy Kaufman spot.
