It really made me miss crowds, since you know the spot with Wardlow launching Marko off the stage could have resulted in him getting crowd surfed around the building.

At this point the only bridge of hers that doesn't look like Luke Skywalker's aunt and uncle after the Empire found them is AEW, and Tony's not going to want to touch her with a ten foot pole.

It reminded me of those videos that leaked from the PC of trainees cutting promos for class.

To connect the circle, Chads and Karens tend to attract each other. When you find one, the other's usually not to far away.

Per the new Observer, Renee Young disclosed she had COVID on her own (mainly because she knew people would put 2 and 2 together when Moxley skipped going to TV) and WWE was upset about it. What a fun place to work for.

Those waivers won't protect WWE from criminal negligence if they are shown to have carelessly put people at risk.

Reports coming out that Velveteen Dream has either been released or will be shortly.

I swear when I posted this I didn't see the notice that WWE was in fact pressing on having fans at events ASAP.

Sammy seems like an alright dude who said something (extremely) stupid and regrets it, and is willing to take his lumps for it. I do think it opened a window on a culture that would seemingly allow such "jokes" without any concern of how it would sound to someone outside the bubble, and that seems to be something all this is shining a light on.

I really hope WWE still isn't hell bent on having shows with real crowds in July like they were prior to all this. But I'm pretty sure they are.

How much could it possibly cost to re sign Eric Young and EC3? Can't imagine they're commanding top dollar after those banging WWE runs.

Sami hasn't really shown himself to be a complete piece of shit* like Elgin either, so having to choose between the two wouldn't have been a tough call. Also Tessa has been going to San Diego to do photo shoots so the whole "Oh I can't leave Mexico to work" kinda makes me suspect perhaps she was developing a case of jobberitis. Plus not even wanting to do promos is weaksauce when the entire world is using Zoom or whatnot to video conference these days. Having said that, it's maximum LOLTNAIMPACT for them to book her in a title defense in July when he deal ended on June 30th. She was entirely within her rights to tell them to fuck off if she felt the need to, and considering Anthem cancelled her other gig (that Women of Wrestling show) when they took over AXS she probably felt the need to. Plus it sure hasn't gone unnoticed that they stood by her when all the bullying and racism stories dropped (and even made her champ in the middle of it all), only to end up getting surprised that the scorpion will in fact still sting you regardless. *Yes there was the whole "accidentally hitting a dude with a bat for real" thing, but I think we can all agree it was in fact an accident even if he acted like a dick about it online to keep in character.

I wonder if the wrestlers will be allowed to keep their gimmicks, or have to basically start over from scratch building their name back up. Also it seems like there were stories about Quack forever varying from the usual asshole promoter stories to ones that seemed to suggest that maybe he was probably a d-bag in real life. FWIW, the worst I thought was that he was a serial adulterer....as in between consenting adults and not someone pressured into a relationship due to the balance of power. As far as the company itself, it seems like it ended for all intents and purposes when they did the shutdown angle. Their comeback seemed to me like the post 1993 version of the NWA, it just wasn't the same to me at least.

She hasn't always been on the best of terms with Tully, plus she managed to asshole herself out of gigs in WWE and Impact so I think AEW will pass. I saw it summed up best that any company would absolutely want to have Tessa the wrestler but none of them would want to deal with Tessa the person.

That's nothing, the subtitle for Extreme Rules this year appears to be THE HORROR SHOW. Waiting for Summerslam's tagline to be KILLER VIRUS next.

Bryan Alvarez just tweeted that "Whatever you've heard, it's worse" in regards to the amount of people testing positive in WWE right now. I

I may be misremembering things, but I seem to recall there were stories about Stacy back when she was an on screen character (a manager) having run ins with folks and not being the easiest person to deal with. I don't know if she was married to Jim yet, but people at the time were commenting on what we would probably now call "Karen" type behavior. I tend to think along the same lines as @The Thread Killer here where it's entirely possible she was playing her own games with these guys and Jim didn't know about it. If they have an open relationship where they're cool with the other having sex with other people as long as both parties know its going on, it seems reasonable to think that was what he assumed was going on and not anything else.

Also it should be mentioned that while older people are most likely to die from covid, younger healthier people are still getting fucked up by it pretty bad even if they are surviving it. The long term damage it does to the lungs is some nasty stuff.

Somehow the idea the the elderly would be the most compromised turned into them being the ONLY ones who could be compromised, which boggles my mind. Everyone seemingly understands how colds and flus work, that older and immunocompromised people were at higher risk, yet large swaths of the population turned into some weird anti-vaxxer offshoot. It's especially worrisome to me since I am a diabetic and my son has had respiratory issues in the past so these idiots are just making things worse for people like us.

Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, and Zelina Vega posted pics from last weekend of them out at a bar/restaurant celebrating Billie's birthday. Shawn Spears, Alistar Black, and Tyler Breeze could be seen in the background and no one appears to have been wearing masks or social distancing. So as much as we want to vilify the companies running shows, the talent does not seem to be taking this seriously at all either.

Also I guess Hunter's Magic COVID killing spray didn't work either.

Also WWE is irresponsible as fuck. Renee has been involved in segments the last few Smackdowns with AJ and Bryan. It would really suck if Bryan was exposed since he has a baby on the way.

Well that explains why Moxley stayed away from TV tonight.

Page rules. "They're good. I'm still gonna whip their ass. But they're good"

Having a Lumberjack Match in the middle of a rising covid spike probably wasn't the best idea, but like Good Brother KawadaSmile says it's BIG MEN SLAPPIN MEAT time.
