  1. They're totally going to do the "good girl gone bad" deal with Aliyah aren't they? That whole segment gave me "early 2000 Steph" vibes.
  2. We're not even to Halloween yet and I'm already beyond tired of all the FIGHT FOR YOUR BRAND AT SURVIVOR SERIES talk.
  3. If you can judge a person by the impact they left on others, Tracy was a great guy. Seems like he never missed an opportunity to give young folks advice/support and not in a "do it the old timer way or it sucks" style that so many veterans utilize, He just seemed so happy to be able to go do some pro rasslin', no matter if it was on a major company show or some rinky dink indy in front of 50 peopl
  4. I for one look forward to him being promoted to the main roster and renamed Herman Finkelbottom just so they can have him sign a new deal to shut down his Twitch. I'm only half joking since we all know they are more than petty enough to do that.
  5. Also it's something to see everyone shutting down their Twitch and apparently a meeting is scheduled for today. It would be both such a 2020 thing and such a WWE thing if after all the bullshit it's streaming video games that finally was the last straw for people.
  6. I mean, if "we have to change one of our talent's names so Google searches don't bring up sexual assault allegations and lawsuits" is an issue your company has to deal with, perhaps it's a sign you might want to have some serious conversations.
  7. Per the WWE website Matt Riddle lost his first name and is now just RIDDLE.
  8. It actually was the better show IMO at least, but yeah I'm sure the nostalgia was the big draw here.
  9. I seem to recall CM Punk saying when he was in WWE his contract gave the company rights to his name in terms of exclusive rights to merchandising and whatnot, but that he still had ownership of the name itself.I can't imagine WWE would give special dispensation to someone as....shall we say.....prickly as Punk, so if they really had Dusty over a barrel like that it makes it even more sad (and kind of explains why Cody is so hellbent on getting his IP back).
  10. WWE can't possibly own Dusty's name can they? He used it before ever going to WWE or any company WWE purchased.
  11. Lumis would be great in a role like what Jake Hager has in the Inner Circle, just stand behind the leader of the faction and look intimidating while being the heavy in a tag match.
  12. Also this. It's been sort of mind boggling to me how little it gets mentioned how Rhea was the top star on the brand and it was flushed down the tubes to give Charlotte another Mania Moment that didn't even end up being all that great because it ended up in the PC instead of a stadium. I suppose there's probably folks in the company who don't think she can handle being a big star due to the issues rovert mentioned, but god damn that was some promotional malpractice.
  13. To be fair, Lumis was already doing basically the same gimmick in TNA/Impact under his real name. WWE just tweaked it to be less "possible sex predator" and more "possible serial killer". He's one of the rare few people that WWE probably is the best place for him to be. He's really good at his character, and unlike Bray it doesn't hold him back in the ring. Hell, if anything it was Cameron Grimes's overacting that was hurting the match for me. Instead of being a character in a horror film trying to escape the monster, he was hamming it up to the point William Shatner would probably tell him to reign it in a little.
  14. Since my son is obsessed with Nightmare Before Christmas, I enjoyed Johnny and Candice's Jack and Sally costumes.
  15. Also I must say asshole heel Kenny is 1000% better than video game nerd Kenny, and I say that as a video game nerd myself.
  16. I guess AAA and AEW renewed whatever arrangement they had. Kenny was announced as defending the title at Triplemania too.
  17. This was the "quick match because we almost killed Abadon" special.
  18. That was a good match, and a good brawl as well. I hope they pull the trigger on Darby at the PPV.
  19. I popped for Tony snapping at Jericho.
  20. Impact has been trying to pursue a relationship with New Japan like a lovestruck teenager, but New Japan is still bitter about how they did Okada during his excursion. They'd promote NJPW World for a full episode of their TV if it would seal the deal.
  21. Rey being from all accounts one of the most genuinely nicest people you ever meet combined with his genetics making him look eternally 14 years old give him this "little brother you just want to root for and protect" aura that you just can't replicate. Riccohet is an example of WWE not being the best place for everyone. It's a company that places priority on promos and ACT-ING to get people over and those are the things he's worst at.
  22. Well it's not so much crazy as much as if you're a wrestler and aspire to be more than an indy darling you had to eat whatever shit WWE fed you. Now that there's options it's something that should change.
  23. True but we all know the people Vince wants the most are the ones who are the most "feisty". I could see him wanting to sign her just to prove he can reign her in.
  24. Well if she was signing with AEW she wouldn't have needed to drop the title, especially considering Deeb's already signed with AEW. I would assume the Tessa buzz fizzling might have been due to her not wanting to travel too far away from Daga and get put in covid jail.
