They're okay to me! I was going to tell you that "The Legend of Baron To'a" is on Prime and Hulu (subscription services) and The Roku Channel (free with ads), but you're not from the U.S., so that won't help you much.

I assumed Foxy quietly departed years ago.

Plus, he's a transphobe, so fuck him.

I highly doubt Bischoff gives a fuck about ever appearing on Raw again. If it's fun and they pay him well, sure, but I don't get the sense that it's any great concern of his.

This Heyman-Seth segment is dire.

Would that really be covered though? This book already goes into her political career, albeit briefly, culminating in her "ascension" into Trump's cabinet.

I finished the Josie Riesman book, and I pretty much agree with all of the pros and cons everyone has posted here. So much of this, of course, we already know. But there is definitely new information sprinkled in too. To have it all in one place definitely paints a fuller picture. Ending it with 1999, more or less, didn't really bother me. To be honest, I'm not sure what else could really be covered. The author still touches on Trump, the recent sex scandals, etc. It's not as if those details are omitted. I honestly don't anticipate a follow-up book. If it happens, it will be because of strong sales and nothing else IMO.

Everyone talks about Terry Funk and Jerry Lawler, as they should, but Bob Cook is right up there with them when it comes to his punching prowess.

I'm reading through the Josie Riesman book. Shorter chapters should have been the first change the editor pushed for. I don't mean editing out most of the content. Keep everything. Just split it up into smaller, more digestible chunks. The chapters are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long, and they really have no reason to be. Other than that, it's informative so far. Dark and depressing - as you would expect - but informative.

Karrion Kross is the shits.

I hope Bianca and Rhea don't trade belts.

"The American Nightmare" "The Consolation Prize" Cody Rhodes drafted to RAW. I bet he can't wait to win the title Dusty never won - because it didn't fucking exist in 1977.

Holy shit! Bloodline was drafted without the Usos.

PWInsider is reporting that the surprise will be:

Which is the most gutless beta male but so typically pro wrestling response. "I worked you, bro" isn't as clever as they think it is.

Chavo has always been saltier than a bag of dollar shop chips. Remember his rant about John Cena's workrate a few years ago?

What an overbooked, underwhelming mess. Roman has two World Titles, so the solution - of course - is to add a third World Title.

CM Punk was supposedly backstage at Raw. I'll take that with a giant heaping of salt, because as the "rasslin' media" has proven lately, they don't know squat.

Charly Arnolt (Charly Caruso in WWE) just outed herself as a transphobe and left ESPN for some Fox offshoot sports group. https://itrwrestling.com/news/former-wwe-talent-faces-social-media-backlash-over-new-career-choice/

Which are? Don't say something like this if you're going to speak in code. Your name isn't Dave Meltzer.
