To be fair, he takes extended breaks from social media so it's possible he might not be aware of all the hijinks that ensued surrounding him.

Just like that the Steelers come out for the second half looking like the 11-0 team again. Solid booking, gotta get heat the first half to set up the babyface comeback.

It's crazy, as long as I can remember they're good for one "I can't believe they lost to THAT team" a year but this is something else. Never saw a team go from unbeatable to barely looking like they belong on a field in like a week or two.

Hey RAW's taking a back seat for me because my team is playing on Monday Night Football, even if they are currently pooping all over themselves.

I suppose everyone figured it would happen when Mike Bennett came back, but Maria is confirmed to be back in ROH too.

Dave's mom passed away today at age 91. He has mentioned before how tough it's been since she was living in a nursing facility since before COVID and because of that he didn't get to see much of her in what turned out to be her last year. The brief bio he wrote details a mother who supported him wholeheartedly even if him starting a pro wrestling newsletter wasn't the career she envisioned for him.

Local news here reporting former Steelers linebacker Kevin Greene passed away today at the age of 58. Most people here of course would know him from his time in WCW where he was really good for someone with no experience in the few appearances he made.

Odyssey is one of the best games of this era, excellent choice.

Well in kayfabe, if I'm going to have a match where someone gets set on fire I'm not going in there in my undies either.

I'm not saying Roman should have lost here, but it's funny how nearly all WWE storylines end with In the End, The Heroic Babyface Failed. Yet I'm sure it's still a mystery to them on why they are hemorrhaging viewers.

Not that I want to speak ill of the Head of the Table, but why is my man out there looking like he's wearing the wrist support I use at work to avoid carpal tunnel?

The women's tag match was pretty good, but it's telling that they are again doing a deal where a singles champ is also a tag champ.

Not wanting to put someone over is one thing, Brody just stopped selling and cooperating mid match is some real unprofessional bullshit from a guy who honestly did this kind of thing a lot but it's not considered polite to mention that.

He's shooting in the sense where he stopped selling for him, which was making Luger look like shit when he was being positioned as the next big superstar in the territory. Brody was big timing him here basically trying to goad Luger into a real fight knowing Lex would get all the heat for it since he was the rookie. You can see where even the ref is looking at Brody like "fucking really, Frank?" while he just stands there like a statue while Lex throws punches. By the end he's totally sandbagging him and I actually give Lex props for not only not taking the bait, but also for being able to come up with a way to end the match while still keeping kayfabe. It's really an amazing example of how much old timey wrestlers bullshit, when the story was always told to make it sound like Lex ran in terror from the fearsome Brody when the footage showed he was just said fuck it and left because Bruiser was being an uncooperative shithead.

So it looks like the Rush family all re-signed for at least another year, which is great news since the Mexico City area went back to red status recently. Lucha groups of any significance will be on ice for the time being so it will be nice having Rush and Dragon Lee somewhere they can work regularly in a safe-as-possible environment since ROH does the bubble deal before tapings.

That's why this Carmella push burns me. Not because I don't think she's very good but because it's a clear "push the type Vince wants to have sex with" situation rather than giving literally anyone else on the roster a chance.

Another fine example, they did all those Mr. Perfect vignettes with her and for what? They haven't done dick with her since. But hey, let's give Carmella another try.

Reminds me of the "Always has been" meme. WWE women on the main roster has long been the Horsewomen and everyone else trailing fair behind. everyone else is either very much not good or talented but somehow creative can't come up with anything for them to do (which is where Asuka was stuck until Becky left).

It seems like they are building up a Good Brothers vs Bucks match at some point, which would be very interesting indeed. I would also love seeing Chris Bey mix it up with someone like Jungle Boy, seems that those two would mesh nicely together.

Yeah at least having Alexa around made it feel somewhat different, this just seems like more tired WWE rehash.

It comes off like he used his time in lockdown to experiment with different tanning options and it ended badly. Also why bother with doing an Inferno Match when they just did that angle where it seems the Fiend is impervious to fire? Randy lit up the box he was in and he came out unscathed. In kayfabe why would you book an Inferno Match when one guy showed he can't be burned?

Kenny did a promo about how "people" were saying the tournament to name a #1 contender was kind of wonky (which it was) so he was giving Joey another shot to make it clear who the better man was and that he would even make it no DQ to make sure Joey had no excuses.

Omega vs Rey Fenix? Don't mind if I do.

I suppose if nothing else, an Omega-Janela main event might be what finally pushes Cornette over the edge to finally having a stroke.

If either AEW or Impact books a Don Callis vs Tony match they have my money.
