AEW announced the first Rampage show will take place here in Pittsburgh, looks like I'm gonna have to get tickets for that.

This was one of those WWE shows that was good (even really good) in ring, but felt totally devoid of all meaning. These men and women are going out there and working their asses off and this company just fails them at every turn creatively. They are so far disconnected from their fanbase, and as a company they couldn't give any less of a shit because they are financially set for the next several years. They even have their employees like Rob the art guy saying nonsense like "internet fans would be upset if Mick Foley coming in as Mankind and complain they ruined Cactus Jack" as if the issue is that it's those darn internet fans that have spoiled the pot. I was around in those days, and the hardcore fans were in fact very mad that Foley was brought in as Mankind. It was seen as a Red Rooster level career ender and a slap in the face to a hardcore legend. It was the sheet writers and proto-internet hardcore fans that got Foley noticed in the first place. WWE wants to move the goal posts so all their failures can be seen as just the cranky internet fans never being happy rather than the same type of shit fans have been mad at since the beginning of time.

Watching the Chyna doc now, its so heartbreaking how many people knew she was on a bad path but it illustrated how you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.

The Rhea/Charlotte match seemed like it was being done at half speed, and it's not the first time I've noticed that in one of her matches.

Because this lame version sure isn't Hell.

He's also promoting a t shirt company that uses stock photos of black people and replaces what is on their shirt with racist sayings like "racism will be over when black people stop being racist" and shit like that.

So CMLL announced they are going start airing their shows on Twitch, which is like the wrestling equivalent of finding out your granddad is a streamer.

Nothing would stop her unless someone else registered it, which is unlikely since as you mentioned it's a fucking awful name.

Is he just getting pissy that no one has made a "thatsourdisco" account?

I swear Disco Inferno is the most mystifying person in wrestling. Dude acts like he was some kind of megastar when his greatest claim to fame was being a mid card comedy geek at a time where WCW had like a thousand people under contract.

Best I can figure is that it's a "spelling changed so we can copyright it" version of dewdrop?

Roman/Rey great as expected, another pretty good show.

Beardless Otis just looks wrong, like when Jim Duggan shaved when he was doing the Team Canada gimmick in WCW.

"Rey has never been in a HIAC match" sounds like something that couldn't possibly be true but somehow is.

It's not like I *don't* want to watch Bianca and Bayley have a match, but this build has been asscheeks.

OK, now I really need Nak to break out the full NJPW King of Strong Style gear.

This somehow sets up KO vs Sami part 787987589347598759 in a HIAC? What?

Big E/KO and Crews/Azeez in a BIG MEATY MEN TAG MATCH? This should be good.

I just looked it up, and it turns out Babatunde is half-Nigerian, I wonder if WWE remembered that when putting him in this gimmick or if it was a happy accident.

Starting Smackdown now, and that red cage looks so corny, like some shit you'd buy to put around a toy WWE ring.

Miro vs Pillman? I can get down with that.

Julia Hart reminds me of Alexa Bliss's original cheerleader gimmick in NXT.

Same reason Michael Nak never sees it coming that Kenny is going to throw him under the bus I suppose.

JR doing a sit down with Andrade should be good, since that's the one thing he still excels at.

Even Vince bent the knee, Seriously, if that's true that's an amazing flex on his part so good for him.
