So I guess people are expecting Liv Morgan to show up on the Funhouse as the new character Bray is promising?

Not to mention they have a history of bullying people with mental health issues. AJ Lee basically got called a dumb mark for getting the date she won the women's title tattooed on her neck, and while to be fair I don't know how open she was about her issues then, she's an ambassador for the National Alliance on Mental Issues now and is pretty open about her struggles on social media.

Honestly, Tony's probably happy working for a wrestling company that isn't a complete clusterfuck.

I would wager there's probably a correlation between Corey becoming a favorite of Vince and him becoming more of an abject asshole on TV and social media.

Kip did an interview revealing Penelope as his new valet, and she made a comment about who needs a Bad Boy when you can have Superbad. It was clearly a line designed to imply the two would be feuding at some point that it looks like she threw in on her own.

I think the deal with Janela is he seems pissed that Penelope Ford apparently went in to business for herself at the PPV when she implied there would be a Kip Sabian/Janela feud. She's currently with Sabian IRL and broke up with Janela around the time he had his bad leg break and it seems there were some unresolved feelings regarding that.

It's not surprising, but it's always a bit gross feeling when you have your worst suspicions confirmed.

Dave mentioned that Corey Graves has support within the company with the whole Mauro deal, and some folks consider Corey the good guy in all this.

JR calling Cody/Dustin was legit one of the best announcing performance of all time. Added so much to what was already a great, emotional match. 2019 JR is like how Ric Flair was on his last WWE run as a wrestler, obviously he's past his prime but still able to show you why he was one of the greats on occasion. Like Flair in those later years, he's not able to carry the broomstick anymore but you put someone with a pulse in there and sometimes you can still make magic.

It feels like Excalibur feels he needs to do more when it's just him and JR, which isn't entirely wrong, but it comes off as "if I keep talking, Jim won't be able to say something that makes him look bad/old/out of touch". With Tony around, you have a guy who's been doing broadcasting during the time he was away from wrestling so he was already good to go. He just needed to get familiarity with the product.

JR's more "grandpa who uses outdated terminology" than "wannabe edgelord who keeps playing with fire and is constantly surprised when he gets burned" so I wouldn't expect him to get the Cornette reaction here.

If he does get that treatment it would be over the "Oriental" line.

Didn't Cody do that in ROH too with his Ring of Honor?

FWIW Cody's said he wants to add a TV title at some point once things gets more established.

Not sure how I feel about one of my Pirate heroes Andy Van Slyke hawking testosterone boosting pills in these commercials.

Wardlow as MJF's giant Rick Rude is pretty cool.

I'm down for Allie channeling Pieter from New Japan.

Is that Silas Young's dad?

Tony was much better until WCW broke him. JR was better in those Attitude Era main events but Tony was always the better bell to bell guy IMO.

How did WWE let Kris Statlander get away? Pretty sure she was at one of their training camps?

"Who beats up someone in their hometown?" LOL

Jericho's dad getting more heat than most WWE heels right now.

Jericho is winning at professional wrestling so hard right now.

I kind of hate those kind of apologies. No attempt to really take ownership, just the usual "sorry you got offended" deal. How else was the tweet supposed to be taken Corey? This is just "It was just a prank, bro" done in WWE style. I'm sure there will be additional apologies dealt to Dave and Bryan for attacking their professionalism by.....*checks notes* calling out a publicly posted tweet.

I believe Vince wants it to happen, since Seth started the Twitter banter toward Punk almost immediately after he appeared on the FS1 show. I doubt Punk cares since as stated he wasn't interested in facing Hunter at Mania, why would he want to face Huntercito instead? It seems like it's Vince trying to bait Punk into wanting to do it since he seems to really believe all wrestlers want their WWE Mandated Wrestlemania Moments but there's nothing to suggest Punk gives two shits about any of that.
