Rhea secret PWO lurker confirmed, she saw that thread about how useless pumphandles are and was like "hold my beer"

Everyone not in the match pretending to be too hurt to get on the apron is sure something.

Works for me, it's the one thing the rest of the world can agree on: no one can get mad at something if it's Canadian.

Watching my Steelers on a second screen and see they are bringing back Nash Bridges for a TV movie. That will probably score high with the 62 year olds watching NXT.

Zelina's outfit glowing from the blacklight in Rhea's entrance might be the most accidentally cool thing WWE has done in a while.

Man it feels pretty tone deaf to shoot an angle where people have to all surround Vince's limo to fawn over him and his stupid ass movie prop egg when they just keep tossing folks overboard.

Places around here would sell Hawaiian pizza with pineapple and ham, and I was informed by a Hawaiian ex co worker that it's very much not a thing in Hawaii.

If this match was taking place literally anywhere else in the world, the Usos coming out in all white would ensure a bloodbath.

Some people still try to fight that war, bubba.

Dave has been saying from the start (and considering it's Dave you know it's probably coming from Cody directly) that everything he's done has been designed to get a babyface reaction. It really comes off as Cody thinking he's doing some kind of epic storytelling arc and being all "yes I am a master of manipulation" while getting booed out of the building trying to be a 80s style patriotic babyface.

I suppose it says something about WWE where "Charlotte has lost her temper and got unprofessional against people she had no beef with before, what will happen when she faces someone she doesn't like?" is where they're at now with booking. Also Roman/Big E will undoubtedly bang since E has been saying on Twitter he wants this match to prove he's worthy of a WM main event spot.

QT is a good guy to have on the roster when you want someone to have a good match and get a win. I mean, even if he did get his job via connections, he does seem to do it pretty well.

On the flip side, those "Easter Eggs" used to be call backs to prior matches that played into the psychology of the current one. Now that AEW does it, somehow it's seen as as negative.

Not to mention they are super strict about it too. People in the UK who got their vaxx in clinical trials that for all intents and purposes just as effective as the "official" vaxx and still aren't being allowed to travel.

Part of me is glad to see the dude has turned his life around and is seemingly on the right path, but the other part of me is like it's still Big Cass and there's about a billion people available I'd be more interested in signing before I got to his name.

Its very much an honor/respect based culture and despite how it seems to us folks on the outside sometimes, VERY conservative. Affairs are seen as bringing shame to yourself and everyone around you, and one like TAKA's that went on for nearly a decade mean he was a liar as well as a shameful adulterer. So that's a double whammy for him.

TAKA's affair lasted like 7-8 years which is what made it particularly egregious in Japanese culture.

That's just one of those cultural things, that's highly frowned upon in Japan so it's not just someone in New Japan being a prude about it.

The announcement was that day three of Wrestle Kingdom will be a show on January 8 that will be NJPW X NOAH.

Gotta say, Smackdown was pretty solid again this week. They got me interested in two matches for Survivor Series: Becky/Charlotte for obvious reasons and after the closing angle I'm down for Roman and Big E to slap some meat.

Those photos are the wrestling equivalent of finding out your grumpy grandpa was a dashing young man in his day.

La Parka AAA was fine in the role, but a lot of the times he was pushed more as a state of proof that AAA owns the gimmick. He was a fine wrestler, but there's a reason when people think of "La Parka" they are thinking of LA Park and not him. Mistico is a guy who should be in the HOF by any tangible metric but will have a hard time getting votes because he's kind of a d-bag. He's like the Roger Clemens of Lucha.

....and despite all that he still caped for the company on Twitter, who then made him look like a giant clown by releasing him after. Also the "BS reports" he's referring to are ones saying he got heat for his comments about not being like the others who failed on the main roster because they can promo. Funny thing is if the reports are true, it's proof in his favor that the other things he said in his tweets are true. But he has to call them BS because a "dirt sheet" said it. WWE Brain is a serious problem, folks.

Honestly, Billy's always been a low key favorite of mine. He's not the greatest wrestler or anything, but the way he just goes full gusto in whatever he's doing with that big dumb puppy energy he has. I kinda feel like he gets a bad rap because he's been adjacent to people with stroke despite not having any of said stroke himself.

Imagine having Hit Row signed to your company and not thinking they were worth keeping around. As much as I want to LOL at Top Dolla for his tweet that was just begging to get dunked on, that's just mind boggling to me.
