C.S.

I'll second @RazorbladeKiss87's enthusiastic recommendation for HamiltonBook.com. Great website and small business to support, at great prices.

Got news for ya... Things won't change under Hunter or Stephanie. Even Shane. As this famous meme shows, they're all in lockstep with Trump and other politicians and people like Trump. At least The Rock is a grown-up. Being outside the bubble seems to do wonders for most people. But this is Pro Wrestling ONLY, so...

Don't forget Lightning Kid, Kamikaze Kid, Cannonball Kid, and The Kid before that.

I always assumed Waltman came up with this on his own, combining his Syxx-Pac nickname in WCW with DX.

Not singling you out, @FMKK, but attitudes like this are why people are assholes and the world is such a crappy place. It's always a shitty bullying tactic to punch down - as CM Punk so arrogantly and lazily does over and over again - instead of punching up. It paints Phil Brooks as a bitterly insecure man when he has very little reason to be either. Edit: Punk is a saint compared to Ryback though... Ryback about Vince McMahon: "He just created a platform as a human circus that he modified from his father. The guy is a piece of s---, can't stress this enough. World will be a better place when he passes. This isn't wishing death, but stating an opinion I believe to be true." WTF?

Which is probably exactly how the company views it. Even Roman's a heel now after doing the same thing.

Worst governor in the entire fucking country. The sad part is, his opponent was a crackhead who got caught naked and unconscious at an orgy, so the state was screwed either way. FL sucks.

Well, CM Punk is a punk-ass bitch for going after young wrestlers who have zero leverage. Yes, the gimmick sucks, but it's different if you or I go after it - no one cares what we think - vs. Punk, who is an elder statesman that today's wrestlers grew up idolizing. It's cowardly bullshit by Phil Brooks, pure and simple.

And it now leads to something. What an absolute fucking putz! https://cosmicbook.news/pedro-pascal-out-mandalorian-voice-acting-only Edit: Fake news. Please disregard.

"Kane" Glen Jacobs is a useless piece of shit. Wasn't sure where to put this, so here is as good as any, because I'm sure Kane was influenced heavily by the radical Republican political culture of WWE (even though he himself identifies as an even more radical Rand Paul libertarian, he certainly wasted no time puckering up and kissing Trump's ass in his book).

MAMMA MIA!!! How is the game?

Royce Isaacs is gone. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see this being a hot pickup for NXT/WWE or AEW. Even Impact can't be overly excited about this guy.

And while that can happen in the Thunderdome too, more space and stricter protocols would probably help.

What a sloppy shop. NXT should have been moved to the Thunderdome (Amway in Orlando) when Raw and Smackdown were. Much more spacious, and therefore presumably less risky. But who knows with WWE.

Imagine if this whole thing is just a way to give Dio Maddin experience without "exposing" him. None of the other men in this group are ever going to be draws - nope, not even your beloved Dominick Dijakovic - so my theory makes as much sense as any. The women have potential though, so why they're here is anyone's guess. #Equality?

Retribution is mind-bogglingly awful. One of them is named Mace? So, these are the gimmicks and they'll be no unmasking?

So much for protecting Dabbo Kato.

I zoned out and missed this. Is Riddick Moss somehow more interesting in this environment? Still don't understand how you keep him but let go of Tino Sabbatelli, who seemed to have far more upside as an act.

Eddie/Rey/Dominik was a good angle, because everyone involved was self-aware and purposely going over-the-top and trying to bring a telanovela-style storyline to wrestling. Bruce Prichard, who knows nothing about any of that, will of course completely miss the point by trying to rehash it.

So, is Dolph the JTTS of Raw Underground?

Prediction: Hurt Business is aligned with Retribution. MVP: It was me, Austin! It was me all along!

MICKIE!!! Too bad Bruce Prichard is trying to ruin her career, according to the NWA Worlds Champion Nick Aldis.

Corrected that for you.

Surprised they weren't made a tag team. Yeah, yeah, I know, that sort of thinking sounds like the old racist chestnut of let's pair the two people of color together because we don't see them any other way - typical WWE - but I actually feel they'd be an exciting and dynamic combination. And it's not like the WWE Women's Tag Team Division has much else going on.

No disagreements here, but they have Bianca Belair and look how much they've done with her. Oh wait... P.S. I'm sure it will sadden all of you as much as it does me, but I removed the Mauro Ranallo pic from my signature and replaced it with his catchphrase in a much less obtrusive text format.
