I saw someone on Twitter state that Rusev and English are what would happen if Wario and Waluigi were hot, and now it's all I can see when I look at them.

To be fair, I get the impression no one plays online on Steam because everyone who has the game ends up spending all their time making edits

My hope is when Smackdown moves to Fridays for the Fox deal, it allows WWE the chance to move around their taping schedule. My guess is they'll be to stuck on the "Live" portion of the name and insist it stay where it is though.

Well we don't even know really what gets watched on the Network. WWE announces the most watched shows (which is usually the PPV of the month + NXT) , but there's no numbers released on viewership on each show.

There's a pretty large community on Steam that has created not only wrestler edits, but ring and arena mods. I saw one that even recreated Arena Mexico with all the edecanes along the rampway.

I never figured out how "soy" became the slur-du-jour for the alt right. What if someone is a super alpha male but just has food allergies? At least it gives me a good way to know who's opinons to ignore.

They added a Women's Evolution collection, which actually has several 80s era matches (including the Moolah-Richter screwjob) and actually does a pretty good job of showcasing all the eras women's wrestling in WWF/E. There's also a Jeff Jarrett collection that has some USWA stuff leading up to his WWF run. Not bad but it really makes you wish someone could finally work something out with the Memphis rights.

"You shouldn't be concerned that sex offenders are in wrestling now because there's always been sex offenders in wrestling" has always been an.....interesting.... argument to make. I mean, maybe it's a pipe dream to dream of a world where there's no sexual predators in wrestling, but maybe it's not the worst thing to strive towards? Also, Kenny needs to realize he's the public face of a major company trying to make inroads to the North American market. Fair or not, it's going to reflect on him and/or New Japan when it comes out their champion was on a show with a sex offender. Part of being the TOP GUY involves doing due diligence for shit like this.

I mean, lying about not knowing a convicted pedo seems like a fairly big deal. Wrestling Twitter does get hung up on some dumb shit sometimes but this doesn't seem like one of those times.

It seems that's pretty much what happened here. Not sure why Kenny felt the need to get super defensive about a guy he said he only met once back in 2004, but that was the hill he originally chose for battle.

They're trying to make people think Brock will leave without dropping the belt so that Roman will get cheered for beating him for it. It's working to an extent since people are getting Legit Mad at Brock possibly (not really) leaving, but they tried that for WM and it got Brock booed and Roman....also booed.

I was in that funk for a while, and what did the trick for me was finding something different like MLW along with the WWE Network doing the Mid South dump they did.

He won the Republican nomination and is widely expected to win the primary election, so techinically he's not the mayor yet but it's more or less a formality.

They've been Harper and Rowan for a while now. Vince is having one of those phases about first names again.

Wasn't Ambrose cleared already? Could have sworn I saw that mentioned at some point.

My skeleton-obsessed six year old popped in while I was watching the CMLL show and after a few moments declared his favorite wrestler was the "bone man". I feel like this is my biggest accomplishment as a parent so far.

Part of the frustration people have with CMLL is that they can be really really good when the people running things give a shit enough to try. It seems like having Park around was enough of a spark to get them motivated to do fun stuff again.

The collection I mentioned above has two AWA matches with him vs Hanson and vs Brody.

WWE Network added a Vader collection today.

Just wanted to say the new board is looking nice. I'm sure there will be a few bumps while things get ironed out but it looks great so far.

Agreed. Say what you will about his in ring ability, but dude is top tier in the fashion game.

That sounds like the worst possible injury to have. I recall seeing a somewhat recent Magnum TA interview where he said he hurt the rotator cuff on his good arm and chose to not have the surgery since it would make him essentially helpless until it healed. I would imagine having both shoulders done would result in the same thing.

As a video game geek, for the longest time my only knowlege of him came from the Takeshi's Challenge game that came out in Japan on the Famicom (NES).

7-8 PM is syndication time for the local station. I mean, they *could* do that, but it wouldn't be worth pissing off the local stations just to thumb WWE in the eye.

WWE seems to only see ROH as a small wrestling company that they can push around and don't seem to know or care that they are owned by a media conglomerate much larger than they are. One that happens to own a lot of the Fox stations they just signed a billion dollar deal to put their TV on.
