Not to mention if you want to avoid the creepy connotation of Murphy macking on a 19 year old, the last fucking person you want to put in this story is Jerry Lawler.

Didn't they have to replace all the CFO$ themes? I would assume his old one was one of those.

Randy saying he doesn't have to beg anyone and that he'll get another title match because he's Randy Orton was refreshing (if not unintentional) honesty in WWE booking at least.

Man, I didn't see any bad acting in that whole segment. Roman was legit scary at times, especially when he was yelling at Lil Naitch to back off because he's handling family business. Jimmy coming out on his busted knee because his brother wouldn't give up despite getting mauled is classic pro wrestling emotional engagement. I can grant you that perhaps they drew it out too long, after all WWE is gonna WWE and they have proven they can't help themselves when it comes to sledgehammering the plot points over people's heads. It was still some of the best business they've done in a long long time though.

I mean, the tribal chief stuff is part of their actual culture so calling it cringy comes off as not understanding it.

Dave's update was Nikki/Shayna/Nia was more of a situation where they may have been exposed to someone with covid and being held out to be safe rather than being sick themselves. Also confirmed that Garza is believed to have a torn quad.

Bryan mentioned on the post ppv Bryan and Vinny Show that the word backstage was Angel injured his quad.

They mighta just fucked around and made Jey a big star with him going out on his shield (no pun intended).

This is like current era version of Ric Flair vs Ricky Morton. Top star vs guy from one of the best tag teams.

HBK getting his revenge for Orton exposing his bald spot on national TV.

Think Garza blew out a knee there, he looked hurt tagging out. I guess the ref called an audible there.

I love how Sami's new look is like if Jim Henson made a wrong turn in life and ended up living in the woods somewhere.

Agreed. I thought he was a good wrestler but I just didn't see "top guy" material. I suppose it was a matter of finding the right gimmick to unlock his personality, or Gedo has a magic potion to give guys charisma. Either way, dude went from 0 to 100 seemingly overnight.

It has been awesome but it was still pretty weaksauce for Roman to pull a Seth and blame the fans for not having patience with the company's shit booking. I know it's the company line but I expected better from the Large Canine.

Waltman may have the record for most names based on a prior one: 1-2-3 Kid became Syxx, which evolved into Syxx-Pac, which became X-Pac when he came back to the WWF. It's like the Pokemon of rasslin' names.

I will say T-BAR is killing it on Twitter, Jericho made a comment lol'ing at the group and he responded with a photo of all the news stories about the Fozzy concert becomng a covid spreading event.

I get how they should come forward so anyone they worked with can be aware, but you can't force anyone to reveal their status and companies can't out anyone without getting into a world of legal shit.

As someone who's best friends in grade school where identical twins who HATED being asked "which one are you", I felt Jey's promo on another level.

Afa and Sika may both be in their mid 70s but they both look like bad dudes.

It's so awkward that everyone has to act like Sami just took the last six months off for shits and giggles. It either makes everyone seem stupid for not acknowledging the obvious, or it makes Sami wanting to avoid covid a heel move.

He also mentioned some main roster folks were affected as well, and that it all started from one of the coaches being lax with the safety procedures which is another ringing endorsement of the system they got running there. Taz was right after all, the seem to actually run a sloppy shop.

So apparently the whole "Fandango pitches a weird tournament format to Regal" deal on NXT came from someone (or some number of folks) being part of the covid outbreak and having to redo what was probably going to be a more normal tournament.

Ben Carter announced he got a positive covid test, which is pretty much on par for 2020.

It's a fun arcade-y type game, the only downside is that a lot of the roster is locked behind grindy 2K bullshit designed to make you want to pay extra to buy their fake currency to unlock faster.

Props to Thunder Rosa for the Animal homage face paint.
