Yes, let's not start a narrative that somehow WWE got bamboozled into giving Bryan the win rather than something they were dragged kicking and screaming into.

The rumors on Twitter are saying that he was running a prostitution ring and tried to recruit a female staffer.

Its interesting how everyone seems to know but no one is saying anything.

That's why the #1 rule on the internet is never read the comments.

I love that Rusev in 2018 is on his way to becoming Bulgarian Daniel Bryan.

I just love that while Sinclair is slowly trying to take over local TV with their right wing news, they own a wrestling company that has Dalton Castle and the Boys as the featured act.

I love how in the first episode they have to censor Abdullah carving Wahoo's head. The 70s graphics effect they use to do it makes it look 100x worse than it probably was.

Enzo was bleeding from the eyebrow, looked like Cedric's boot (laces maybe?) caught him flush on that kick. Props to the wardrobing team, I don't know how Dana avoided a wardrobe malfunction while dancing in that outfit. I imagine the entire lining of her jacket was double sided tape. I loved Roman and Seth having dueling "This fucking guy...." faces while JJ was doing his promo. Also isn't it pretty weird that Gallows and Anderson have been the low team on the totem pole all of last year, and suddenly they are in the main event with Balor? It wasn't even built up, he just named them as his partners and everyone just acted like they didn't spend the last 12 months jobbing to everyone. I guess it was worth it just for the segment seemingly meant to troll Dave when they were namedropping Tama Tonga and Fale.

I think we can all agree at least that it was Jericho's best match in a while since he wasn't exactly setting the world on fire in his last few WWE runs.

The outfit was a shoutout to Destiny 2, which works since he's a legit video game nerd (see also: all his big moves have game related names).

Funny, for most of his US trip Jay White was Random ROH Guy. It's like he got stuck in that mode even though he's supposed to be some badass heel now.

For El-P: Roppongi 3K just came back from excursion where they were Rajin and Fujin in CMLL and the Tempura Boyz in ROH. I didn't expect them to make such an impact on their return but they have that 80s Rock n Roll Express appeal to the girls it seems and that's got them over pretty quick. Also Brandi's been using the Rhodes name since she left since she never used it in WWE and thus they don't have any trademark right to it in her case.

Now that's some heel charisma. It's like Tully if he had an MMA background.

Wrestling has kind of always been like that, hell the build for WM 3 started off by Hogan getting an award for having such a long title reign. Guys were always pushed as X-time champs to build credibility.

It should be everyone's goal in life to find someone who loves them as much as Japan loves Cheeseburger.

I doubt Kenny will go to WWE until he gets to the "cash in on the last run" stage of his career. New Japan is building their US expansion largely around him and they give him the freedom to do pretty much whatever he wants. I don't see going to WWE appealing to him unless Vince makes a completely stupid money offer.

I want to believe she drank everyone under the table.

So getting back to WON related issues, looks like their web host decided to take a dump on the second biggest day of activity they have.

I don't get Tanahashi going over at all. Getting Jay White over aside, he's spent most of 2017 working on a body held together with duct tape and wishes. I thought for sure they would want to get the IC belt off him and maybe lock him in a room for a couple months to finally heal.

I saw it mentioned on Twitter, but doesn't it seem the Switchblade gimmick was meant for someone else and Jay White was the last minute backup plan? He doesn't seem to fit at all, and it comes off as very WWE like seeing a round peg in a square hole like that. Speaking of WWE like, having a card full of good to great matches and an undercard that mostly overdelivered only to have all the discussion after be about baffiling booking decisions made it seem like Vince had a hand in booking WK12.

The main dump is set for 1/8, we might get some stuff showing up in the "Classic content for January" folder before that.

Madusa had a knee replacement not to long ago so there won't be any Alundra Blaze iin the Rumble either. I bet we get a Lita and Trish apppearance, maybe Beth Phoenix too.

The Steam version seems to have blown away all expectations, and if the PS4 version does any good at all I'd expect them to at least consider a Switch version.

NJPW (and CMLL for that matter) should just run Hiromu vs Dragon Lee forever.

New Japan has been teasing a video game announcment at their fan fest today, and it turns out it's them teaming up with the Fire Pro World team for the PS4 release. There will be official edits/rings/aprons along with a NJPW based story mode.
