C.S.

An old man shouldn't "get" entertainment presumably geared toward attracting a younger demographic. Explains why WWE hasn't been able to do that successfully in a long time.

Now former co-worker. I wonder if she knew it was coming and had no fucks left to give. BTW, yeah, that NXT logo is a hot mess. Really hope it's a prototype for the next TakeOver. It's still shitty, but as a once-off for a themed PPV, I can tolerate it.

One of the biggest appearances in the history of Impact Wrestling! Mauro Ranallo To Call Kenny Omega vs. Rich Swann Match At IMPACT Rebellion (WrestleZone) Rebellion is now an instant must-watch. MAMMA MIA!

No more GronkMania, I guess.

NXT releases were announced on a different day last year, so here's hoping Velveteen Dream, Jordan Devlin, Drew Wuertz, etc. aren't far behind. Feels callous to actively wish for people to lose their jobs, but it's also impossible at this point to see Dream, etc. without feeling utter disdain and nausea.

Last year's releases fell on exactly the same day too - April 15th. Wonder if it's a tax thing?

Wonder how many of these ladies were released so they could pay Johnny Ace's daughters-in-law enough to come back.

I updated my original post. Samoa Joe is a huge WTF. Bo Dallas was expected but still sad.

I was about to post this, but wasn't sure where. Here are the tweets:

The only way Roddy gets a lifeline is if Daniel Bryan specifically requested a program with him. Even then, he'd be back to catering/Main Event as soon as it's over (see: Gulak, Drew).

First champion: David Starr

Was confused and wondering when Jimmy Jacobs ever worked there. Then I realized you meant Jimmy Havoc. Shame about Ivelisse, but being the female Low-Ki/Austin Aries is not a sustainable career path.

I agree with you, but how is it an upgrade from the Diamond Cutter? Okay, I'll grant you, it's been a while since I've seen DDP pull off one of those in his heyday, but they seem like the same move to me. Do you mean just in terms of the whole "outta nowhere" aspect of the move? DDP did some of that, but Randy definitely took it to the next level.
