On top of everything else, Eddie Kingston's jersey game is unmatched.

Hope Tony puts a little extra in Shida's check for getting a decent match out of Big Swole.

Britt and Tony are the best.

In PA, I had to have a qualifying condition and have a Dr sign off on it. It wasn't too difficult.

I recently got my medicinal marijuana card, and I can say it def. helps.

Not to mention it's just the laziest way to get out of it. They could have done something where they stay on their old brands until they lose the titles, and then have something wacky happen, but instead they just swap them like baseball cards.

Their lease for the THUNDERDOME is up at the end of October, and WWE wants to start to attempt touring at some point.

They already set the expectation that they will keep them together, plus Ric is such a soft spot for both Vince and Hunter they will seemingly do whatever it takes to accommodate anyone in the family.

Why would either show waste a pick on Titus? This draft is so baffling in a "if this was real and both shows were trying to draft the best available" way.

Man, Dolph looks like Greg Valentine Jr when he lets his hair down.

They could do a real Prince of Darkness Kevin Sullivan/Fallen Angel thing with Bray and Alexa.

All other issues aside, Lars looks like someone Bruno would have done a program with in the 70s.

Mandy and Dana as a tag team is like every Vince fetish come to life.

Wow, Raw's kind of getting owned in this draft, getting all the sports entertainment guys sent their way.

Tag team champs flipping shows makes sense, lots of new fresh matchups for both teams.

Yeah, "Randy Orton keeps getting title matches because he's Randy Orton" is not the most compelling way to extend a feud even it it is the most honest.

Also, in wrestling related talk, why would either brand want to draft Retribution? It makes zero sense in a kayfabe sense for either show to want to have the group bent on destroying the company.

Kobe and Lebron have very similar careers. Main difference IMO is that Kobe started off on a successful team and Lebron frankly wasted the early part of his career on a Cavs team that couldn't be bothered to find anyone to complement the once in a lifetime talent that was gifted to them. The fact that Lebron was able to do anything with the shitburger teams he was given in his first Cleveland run might be the greatest argument for his GOAT case.

More precisely it was the height of the "NXT will save wrestling from Sports Entertainment" timeframe, and the crowd was afraid Vince's model beauty queen who can't wrestle was going to go to the "real" rasslin show and be put over the hero of NXT. Eva played her part well, but the real heat was Bayley turning back the tide of the evil mothership like Eric Embry saving the USWA.

That is possible, Jordan is a notoriously thin skinned asshole IRL It's also possible he would probably just turn his social media accounts over to an intern who just posts stale platitudes and birthday wishes like whoever runs Vince McMahon's account. Honestly it's difficult to compare players today to those from earlier eras. The game has changed a LOT in just the last decade or so. Big men shoot threes like they are going out of style and when previously most never took more than one step out of the paint. Lebron does have that elite ability to run things on the floor while also being able to play at the level he does. Dude just sees the game differently than anyone else out there, which is why he ends up being a player-coach wherever he goes. Magic used to have that same skill, he would do shit that didn't seem possible because he would see openings and make passes no one else did.

In wrestling related news, pretty much everyone in WWE thinks Lars Sullivan is a shithead and of course one of the few people left who supports him is Vince so.....yeah.

Basketball isn't really a popular sport in my city, so I don't have any childhood fondness per see....I'm just a dude who grew up watching the Lakers-Celtics rivalry in the 80s and the Bulls/Knicks/Pistons/Jazz teams of the 90s. It's funny how people hear "Lebron is the best player today, but not better than every other player who ever played" as a statement of hateration. To me it's just a statement based on watching 30 odd years of basketball. I mean, I'm not saying he's trash compared to past players but I don't see any argument putting him above the Jordan/Bird/Dr J level of player.

People who blindly stan Lebron as the GOAT have no idea about basketball pre-2000 and it shows. He's the best of his generation, sure. All time? Nah. He would probably struggle to make the all decade team of any timeframe prior to his debut. His biggest advantage is being the first star to bring the NBA back from the doldrums it was in when pretty much all the big names from the 80s-90s retired at nearly the same time and there were no stars in the league but Kobe.

The cynic in me wonders if he wanted that to leak so Vince would push him.

I know you weren't asking me, but IMO I think this is a better fit for both shows. Raw has historically been the more sports-entertainer-y show and the Fiend's antics seem to work better in that environment. Rey seems a better fit on Smackdown as well, so it appears to be a good move for all concerned.
