Silver King is wrestling Juvi on a show in the UK, and apparently he collapsed during the match and needed CPR performed. *edited title to reflect updated situation

Yeah there's no way anyone wouldn't know it was Moolah in the ring that night. The Spider Lady costume wasn't exactly flattering and there was no one else it could have been based on the body type. What I never understood is Vince corners her before the match and demands she sign a new contract basically sight unseen, and then she gets to the ring and sees it's a different person in the Spider Lady suit and it's clearly Moolah. How does she not figure that shit's about to go down?

I'm like, 65% convinced Herodes is Vince's PWO account at this point.

It's a dick move, but it's not like this is something that is going to kill off Starrcast. Besides, it is WWE footage after all, it's like the people who upload stuff on YouTube and get their channels owned by WWE. It's a dick move that they have the right to do, and you can't be surprised when it happens.

That was kind of the thought I had, like the people she had heat with were low key worried Vince would love it since that's the exact drop-your-dick-on-the-table Alpha shit he pops for.

The impression I got was that he was saying Gino was super paranoid from hanging around dealers and ended up accidentally OD'ing, and that it wasn't anyone putting a hit out or any other kind of foul play.

Fritz wins after both guys get counted as down and Fritz ends up being the first to get up. So I guess that's technically a clean job by Texas Death Match rules?

The anonymous source who basically said Gino was involved in dealing and that led to is paranoia increasing leading to his OD seems to put a bow on things except for one thing: the vast amount of coke in his system. It's hard to understate how much we're talking about if the folks doing the autopsy were amazed by the amount, and this was Dallas in the 80s when Scarface was seen as an educational video. Bix seems to think there's something to the "Jack Royal gave Gino bad coke that killed him" based on his recent tweets, but at the levels he had in his system one would think it wouldn't matter at that point if it's the bad stuff or not.

It's a very Vince-like mindset to dismiss something that has proven to get over and be a draw as "go nowhere".

Considering the attendance they have so far this year, every ROH show from last year.

You say that, yet WWE would kill for any of their guys to be over with their crowds as The Bucks or Omega are with AEW crowds.

To think WWE had both those guys under contract, they pitched doing this angle to them (probably very similar to how they are doing it now) and WWE was like "nah, we pass". Now granted Cody was still a midcard nobody who didn't have a few years to wash the Stardust stink off him, but if AEW turns into something people will probably look back at this like how people look at WCW having Taker, Austin, and Foley under contract and doing nothing with them.

I'm not saying I don't do it sometimes too, but we need to train ourselves not to use "pro wrestling" when we really mean to say WWE. I know it gets the dummies going all "HURR DURR FIVE STARS IN THE DOME AMIRTE" to Dave, but New Japan really does do some strong storytelling. There's tons of examples in the indies that do as well. We shouldn't paint the whole business with a broad brush because WWE sucks at it.

I assumed he was taking a break since it was documented when he re-signed that he had more time off in his new deal. I was making a joke about how he's been far and away the MVP of the company on promo ability.

Man, I wonder if the injury that Bryan had that kept him out after Mania was his back from carrying this whole goddamn show for so long.

Honestly I assumed it was just because Bryan probably is not going to go to the Saudi show like he didn't go to the previous one, and they wanted the belt on someone else for that time.

I enjoyed Dash tweeting a meme of the "My Balls Was Hot" UFC guy last night.

She's not wrong, but it's like McDonalds tweeting about obesity awareness. On a related note, I look forward to the Revival going full HBK vs Hogan and making a mockery of all the future humiliations planned for them.

Looks like the Raw ratings recovered slightly this week, so at least we hopefully can be spared any more Panic Mode Vince moments.

Kevin Von Erich's sons signed a deal with MLW. It always amazes me that they would want to be involved in wrestling after what their family went through.

Everyone looking like geeks is the direct result of decades without competition, leading to guys walking on eggshells afraid to get fired since it was the only game in town. When the company has all the leverage, there's no impetus to create stars because why bother? Not having to appease top guys by keeping them strong so they don't leave is one of the more underrated aspects of WWE being the only game in town.

Now Lars doing cool stuff and murdering people happens in front of a crowd who just had to sit through the Revival acting like dogs with itchy assholes.

Have we hit rock bottom? I think so.

Here comes this weeks' humiliation.

I finally figured it out, all this time the Iron Sheik has been working production for WWE. CAMERAMAN, ZOOM!
