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!

WWE's official preview for this week wondered if last week's segment was just the first humiliation for the Revival.

It's like WWE hired Tim & Eric write these skits.

It's amazing that WWE feels the need to humiliate the Revival for turning down an offer, yet the tag titles on one show are on a jobber team, and there's only 4 actual teams on the other (which includes the Colons who have been in the phantom zone forever).

Especially when all the data shows WWE shows are declining at a faster rate than the rest of TV.

Lacey Evans' ring gear from the back makes it look like she's wearing a bib.

Right now everyone here is thinking "oh god, is Vince going to replace Ricochet with Robert Fucking Roode for MITB?"

So at this point Braun has committed kayfabe attempted murder several times now.

Do people really enjoy Sami doing a Vince's Sockpuppet gimmick or is this just an ironic like king of thing?

"Vince as a desperate, hapless, boob" is a bold choice Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

Vince looking like he's moments from just running around yelling "EVERYTHING IS FINE, NO CAUSE FOR ALARM"

In previous times, there was always an ace they could pull from their sleeve. Since they haven't created an actual difference making star since Cena and burned out the "Vince is on TV" bump, there's basically nothing they can do to pop a rating these days and that's probably the scariest thing of the current era.

He's really only banned from CMLL, Paco holds grudges for life + 10 years*. AAA just doesn't do business with him because he's a pain in the ass to deal with (and his wife/business manager is said to be just as bad). *CMLL did work with LA Park who was also on Paco's "dead to me" list and it didn't end horribly (it was more AAA's doing than Park's) so maybe there's a chance Santo could come back.

So La Mascara announced he left AAA and is a free agent, there's probably zero chance he goes back to CMLL due to the nature of his departure there. It seemed like they wrapped up his angle with Maximo already and had nothing else for him. I never would have expected him to end up the lucha version of Bret Hart, where a company gets handed a big star from the competition and totally dropped the ball.

Also I feel like any discussion of the Von Erichs should include a link to the Irv Muchnick Penthouse story.

Probably the same way "Psychics" work, educated guesses and cold reading. "Hey young boy who's brother died tragically, are you by chance having bad dreams?" is a question that tends to produce one kind of answer.

In all the fuss over people mad at Lio's claims of not getting paid well on the main roster, it kind of flew under the radar that Ricochet had to run a GoFundMe to help his mom out after her house got damaged.

The thing about curses is they are as real as the person being "cursed" believes they are. That being said, it's a pretty f'ed up thing for Jules to say to a young kid who already lost a brother.
