C.S.

Apparently, she's legit preggers. (Presumably not with Flair's baby though.)

Yeah, doing/saying/posting stupid shit before you're in WWE is likely going to prevent you from getting hired. Doing it after will not jeopardize you the same way. Then again, they did cut Lars Sullivan finally.

I guess this is the real reason Trey Miguel didn't join his Rascalz partners in NXT as MSK: https://www.outsports.com/2020/3/20/21187667/trey-miguel-impact-wrestling-apologizes-homophobic-homophobia-rascalz

The WWE dumpster fire continues... Wrestling Inc.: WWE Issuing Violations For Social Media Posts Naming Third Parties

Nah, the bloom is definitely off the rose with Jericho in every respect. His early NJPW/AEW goodwill with the fans has long evaporated.

Dunn is still very young, but yeah, this is a company that waits centuries to do anything with anybody.

Io jumps off that platform and the hillbilly rube fans chat NXT instead of Io. They've been trained well.

First time I've been interested in Grimes, ever, so it's working for me.

The ladder match was very smartly worked by him and the best ladder match in years.

Vets lost the final last year, so I think they'll win this year.

Is it just me or has every match so far tonight felt way too damn long? I know that's a weird criticism, but sometimes less really is more.

Who attacked Austin Theory and why wasn't it in the dreaded NXT parking lot?

According to Slam Wrestling, Sammy Guevara nixed a storyline and appearance with Impact, putting the AEW-Impact relationship in jeopardy. Has anyone else reported this?

I subscribed to NJPW World for a month when I had the Fire TV Cube. My subscription ended when I returned that awful buggy piece of crap device. Years later, it still baffles me that the availability of the app never become more widespread (Roku, PS3/4/5, etc.). It displays a glaring lack of understanding on New Japan's part of the American market, and why they will probably never, ever succeed as a touring company in the States (Covid aside). Still, this deal is the next best thing and actually gives me some hope that maybe NJPW is finally beginning to figure some things out outside its home territory.

Not always. Lord Alfred Hayes quit back in 1995 after they tried to cut his pay.

So, avoiding GWE almost entirely ended up being a great decision on my part?

What the hell are we here at PWO doing wrong as posters and a community if Loss prefers a cesspool like Twitter to his own site? Genuinely curious...

They don't make enough use of NXT for situations like this. Imagine Miz going there with his "movie star" and "above you all" character. Ziggler should be a JTTS at this point on any brand. Any magic he once had was killed by WWE. Sucks for him, but it is what it is. I thought it was very telling when even a Born Again Christian like HBK buried Ziggler as an imitator on one of the Network podcasts with Stone Cold.

@goodhelmet I just tagged goodhelmet. Hopefully that means he'll see this thread. What happened to @Loss anyway?

I always heard he no-showed an event (or was late to one) and Bill Watts fired him because he had a zero tolerance policy at the time and was looking for cuts like that as any excuse to save money.

Thank you, kind sir. That is all kinds of wrong but absolutely fucking hysterical. Not sure why I confused Balls and Axl though. (To be fair, I've never actually seen the shoot. My only knowledge is that little gem of a exchange posted here.) I have no idea if you have easy access to this shoot, @The Thread Killer, but if you do, it would be my vote for the next recap or at least a future recap. P.S. I was going to say I don't remember the Rottens ever being in WCW, but maybe they were for a cup of coffee? I first saw them in the GWF (on ESPN) and later in ECW.

Much love to you, TTK, for the hard work that must've gone into transcribing that. I'm definitely looking forward to Part 2. I have a feeling Bischoff isn't going to go easy on poor Mike Graham, who came across as a needy little brother type with a big bark and not much bite, but it's still sad to think about. As for requests, hmm, I don't know... Unless I'm missing something obvious, I can't even see what content AFS offers. Someone mentioned a hilarious shoot between Raven and I think Balls talking about I believe Grizzly Smith with an exchange that was something like: Balls?: Grizzly really fucked me. Raven: So you are a little girl. But search brings up nothing. If Loss has search records, I'm sure he's going to wonder why I was searching for "Raven balls."

I agree with @DMJ and @sek69 about Cesaro, but even chasing the big WWE money isn't guaranteed - it's not like this is a company that actually keeps its word or hesitates to release talent during the middle of a worldwide pandemic. With that said, even if Cesaro does get released a year or two down the road, AEW, NJPW, etc. will presumably still be wide open to him then.
