As someone who grew up on Looney Tunes, this was the first thing I thought of when I saw Vince's new look:

Mentioning Nikita reminded me, she's on ACL tear #2 and Zoey Stark already is rocking a Steve Austin brace on one leg, wtf are they doing to folks at the PC?

Good to see Adam Cole forgave Keith for launching him into orbit in NXT.

The grey hair makes Keith Lee look like Uncle Phil from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

LOL at Kenny still having the muscle pic of him and Don hanging on his wall in the background

I sincerely hope Jeff (finally) has his shit together, but there's zero historical reason to believe anything has changed.

The crowd is aggressively not giving a shit about any of this Firm vs Matt Hardy business until HOOK gets involved.

Christian and Luchasaurus giving Father Jim Michell and Abyss vibes.

Darby/Swerve was as good as expected, and I'm sure everyone is happy to hear Brian Cage signed a new deal.

So if Punk and the Elite have squashed the beef, when do you bring back Punk? If I'm TK I'm at least having someone like FTR drop hints about it just to start up the whole "we're not going to TELL you something is happening, but we're totally telling you something is happening" thing they like to do.

Yeah NXT has some pretty impressive women that are just about to break through in the next year or so. There's a few that seem like they aren't ever going to pan out no matter what, but there's a bunch of unpolished gems as well.

So Konnan said on his podcast that they couldn't get Kenny for this show because he was in the middle of negotiating a new deal with AEW. It's Konnan so it should be taken with a grain of salt, but he would be in a position to know as someone booking one of AEW's partners.

Wrestling fans are used to Vince just Vincing all over the place, other major corporations don't care because working with WWE makes them money (and their CEOs are probably doing the same shit Vince is), an mainstream media people don't care because it's the fake rasslin guy. It all came together for the perfect storm for him to get away with being one of the worst people in the world.

Noam Dar is mid, but if that's what it takes to get Britstyle matches in NXT, so be it.

Melo and Dragon Lee having a swag-off is an excellent way to start any show

Now that Braun turned heel and his boo Cora Jade is back, they need to do the Big Poppa Pump and Midajah thing.

I'm mad at how much I laughed at that, holy shit

Logan has been really good at the whole pro wrestling thing, turns out being a legit douchebag goes well with being a good wrestling heel.

The whole reason Vikingo is a big star now is because Kenny wanted to do a match with him so AAA heated him up. Then Kenny's body fell apart before they had a chance to do it, but it ended up working out for AAA since they got a star out of it and they most likely will finally do the match this year unless shit happens again.

Magnum TA's story is kind of too happy for Dark Side imo. Yeah his wrestling career was cut short but he ended up having a pretty successful life afterwards.

The closest comparison would be with the cartels, and they tend to not get involved with civilians if they can avoid it. There have been rumors that some promotions pay them money to make sure there's no violence when they run their shows, but AFAIK that's never been proven.

AAA has an issue brewing, they wanted to do a celebrity match with Mexican Instagram star Adrian Marcelo vs Chessman. Problem is, the Monterrey commision is strict on who they license to do matches, and Marcelo quit during the licensing exam (which is apparently a three hour ordeal). This isn't like in WWE where they can just be like "fuck the commission" and do what they want, pissing off the commission would cause major headaches for AAA so it's up in the air on what they are going to do.

OTISMANIA running wild in Seattle

Evil Trish? Well that's something

I guess they saw enough of Celtics-era Shaq Lita
