I was thinking the same thing, this is very Bruno vs Larry Z but the roles are all wrong. Maybe QT ends up busting a wooden chair over his head.

It just hit me that Shawn Spears is there to be the JJ role when they finally do a War Games match and do the job.

It was the World Champ getting to put on a display with someone that was not really a threat to beat him. A modern version of Ric Flair vs George South if you will.

That Stone Cold-esque shirt is awesome.

It's pronounced wing-ed when it's a reference to Final Fantasy VII

Man, it really is something how great Don Callis is on commentary and how big a role he's played in getting Kenny over as a scummy heel.

I'm just glad they are continuing with the Thunderdome and not doing the "crowds are back after Mania" plan that was being considered.

WWE officially announced Khali, I guess the WWE India tweet just got deleted because they jumped the gun. Someone on Twitter asked Dave if the current round of announcement reactions are worked due to the reasons I mentioned, and his reply was probably pretty close to the truth. He mentioned that there's a whole generation of people in the business who's goal was pleasing Vince and getting into the WWE HOF is an indication they did that.

I would assume he might be still under quarantine since Charlotte has covid.

I would assume Kane is probably at least under a Legends deal since he shows up from time to time. The one that got me to question things was Molly, as she has no current ties with the company and even turned down their offer to be a trainer at the PC because she said she isn't at a point in her life where wrestling has that kind of pull for her anymore. She surely would have been asked by the company since unlike Kane there was a chance she could have been not interested in it.

The weird thing about these emotional announcements is that....I'm not saying they aren't real, but we've learned from others that going into the WWE HOF is a process that involves being asked by the company (since people like Honky have turned them down) so it's not like the first they would hear about it is when told on a WWE produced show.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me he's aware of PWO's existence at the very least. Folks who frequented DVDVR in those days had a habit of seeking out any and all wrestling related message boards they could find. I should know, I was one of them lol.

The WWE network was never intended to be a historical reference no matter how much everyone here wanted it to be. There's no chance any non WWE company is going to have tone deaf racial content available in 2021 and risk the negative PR hit.

She still owns like 5% of the company so she technically won, which is the best kind of winning.

I think Jeff Hardy is very talented, but he's too much of a risk for any non WWE company to take at this point since I get the impression their rules are the only reason he's not out there racking up DUIs like Charlotte Flair title wins.

A lot of that list is why some people call AEW "All Friends Wrestling". The EVPs (and Jericho) all got gigs for their pals that you could make a good argument against. When it comes to signing ex WWE people, anyone who doesn't see the difference between "extremely talented folks WWE is wasting" and "old guys taking up space" is being intellectually dishonest. No one wants AEW to be filled with Big Lazy types, but the idea they shouldn't go after someone like Andrade when he becomes available because "he's a WWE cast off" is insane to me.

Wrestlers heal faster, brother!

Funny thing is that it's clear this was the plan the whole time and all the people upset that Miro was being ruined by being paired with Kip are going to go nuts for it.

He's like the inverse of the Rush deal. To get Rush, you need to give his dad a job. AEW wanted Billy as an agent, so they had to give his kids a job.

Laredo Kid is going to be teaming with the Lucha Bros this week on Dynamite, which should be nothing short of awesome.

Yeah the only person in that family who was useless was Kendall, and even he had a moment of greatness in WCW.

Interesting that they are putting Bad Bunny in a singles match at Mania, I suppose that shows how much faith they have in Miz. Perhaps Ryan Satin's barber can get to the bottom of this.

There's a million things wrong with this feud, but why would Shane want to pick a fight with Braun in kayfabe?

I know it's Drew, but not really a fan of the "one guy beats up a tag team" trope that WWE loves so much.

Man, going up for a chokeslam from someone legit like 7'2 or whatever has to be a scary prospect.
