C.S.

The Godfather just verbally bitchslapped The Rock around like one of his hos. From The Attitude Era Podcast: “F**k Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. That Mot**rf**ker should never had Ceelo f**king Green portray me. I’m 6 foot 7, ok, and they portrayed me as somebody who’s 6 foot 1.” “So, f**k the Rock, f**k him, m**herf**ker, f**k that ba**ard, , that mo**erf**ker f*cking 3 inches shorter than me and had me 5 inches shorter than me. F**k The Rock.” Transcript source: https://itrwrestling.com/news/wwe-hof-blasts-dwayne-johnson-young-rock/ Without listening to the podcast, it's possible Godfather is smiling, laughing, and joking around. I hope so, for both their sakes. Otherwise, this sounds like an unhinged rant (even though Ceelo Green is indeed terrible casting).

I legit thought that was Bruno Sammartino.

It better be Rhea Ripley.

Beyond emotional main event. None of us are in any position to judge the wrestling, for obvious reasons, but I thought it was great.

Bryan vs. Timothy Thatcher next week. Should be a great match, but I still LMAO at people on PWO insisting he ever had a future in WWE outside of NXT.

If this was a test for Brian Cage, he failed. He's bland and uncharismatic, and the match was blah. That's really saying something when Danielson and Big Cass had a low key banger.

Either someone else already started a thread that's not appearing for me, or no one else is watching this.

WTH is this badly acted WWE Lite family therapy session?

I joined the show in progress, so I missed Jericho and Sammy vs. Starks and Andretti. In other words, I missed nothing.

Bix did a pretty comprehensive piece on it. https://deadspin.com/jerry-lawler-wrote-a-really-dumb-letter-to-prosecutors-1822790447 Bix seems to have his critics on Twitter and Reddit - I'm not sure why because I'm not invested enough to go down that rabbit hole - but he seems to do actual investigative journalism, unlike Sapp and even Meltzer most of the time.

Kevin Patrick?

DX = old and lame We officially live in the alternate universe where Billy Gunn is the hippest member.

LA Knight is the shits. Billy Corgan's NWA was his ceiling. His only saving grace is that Bray Wyatt is worse.

Juice he only lost in the first place because of bad feuds and worse creative.

Kingston heel turn. Tony really no longer has his finger on the pulse. Damn!

This is a shocker. 38 is too fucking young!

I think The Rock and Shawn Michaels are on good terms these days, so Rock probably didn't want to directly call Shawn out. Plus, remember, Shawn is in charge of Simone Johnson's WWE career now.

Poor Rey, being saddled with Karrion "The Drizzling Shits" Kross for a feud. I realize it's just a placeholder until Mania, but...Zzzz!

A couple of us defended Disco as a fun and inoffensive midcard staple, but this is why he gets buried routinely and people take such great joy in putting his smug ass in his place.

Kenny only had to grab one belt to win? Ehhh.

Even Starks sucks here.

Announced last week in a thud of a "reveal." Anyone expecting Mercedes after that is gullible. It's obvious Plan A - whatever that was - fell through.

I'll be the one to say it: I don't give a fuck about Danielson vs. Takeshita. The result is a foregone conclusion and therefore the match isn't exciting. But at least there's a reason for it, which is more than I can say for most Dynamite matches, so I'll give it that. (Even if the reason isn't particularly compelling - MJF repeating the same stale, tired, been there, done that, "run the gauntlet" bullshit.)

Agreed. Disco was an entertaining comedy act, and I'm old enough to remember when people were excited about the rumor that he'd be revealed as Honky Tonk Man's protege (a role that ultimately went to "Rockabilly" AKA Billy Gunn AKA Daddy Ass). Glenn Gilberti, on the other hand, is the stupidest, smuggest motherfucker on the planet. Arrogance without intelligence is a toxic combination, and Vinnie Ru's "bro" exemplifies it in spades. So, I understand why Cody Rhodes and fans feel inclined to bury him - because it's enormously satisfying putting someone like him so squarely and firmly in his place.

This. This. Fucking this. Once again, rasslin' "journalists" have completely, utterly, and thoroughly embarrassed themselves. Anyone who pays a cent for Fightful Select (or whatever) is a complete fucking imbecile. I'll wait for real reporters to report real news.
