C.S.

Not nearly as controversial as Kane's profound, monumental stupidity, but John Cena is getting some backlash for hashtagging his show in a tweet about the Ukraine.

Jeff Hardy said "fuck that guy" about the YouTuber uploading the interview he conducted with Jeff, where Jeff himself revealed he was going to AEW. The poor YouTuber feels bad. Real swell of "nice guy" Jeff Hardy to after someone who appears to be a teenager (or maybe a little older) when Jeff is clearly the one at fault. Original interview:

Take with a huge grain of salt, but...

Former WWE writer fires back at Dax Harwood:

Agreed. I have no problem with celebrities being used - they always have been at WrestleMania - but they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with Logan Paul.

I'm sure it was BS, but still, if you look at both Logan and Jake, Jake seems like the bigger, tougher, more wrestler-y dude. I personally wouldn't bring either of them in, but if forced to pick one, I'd go with Jake.

Here's the transcript for anyone who would rather read than listen: https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2022/2/22/22945808/dax-harwood-shawn-michaels-bonding-moment-made-fun-hbk-wwe-raw-25 With Billy Gunn indirectly mentioned, hopefully he'll reach out to Dax now that they're in the same company and make amends.

That was priceless - describing Cody only to give us fucking Logan Paul! I wonder why they always go with Logan Paul though over the bigger, tougher Jake Paul who actually has fight experience. I think his boss in this case is Michael Cole. Didn't Cole reference it at the Saudi EC show or somewhere else? Or he's just a nice guy who isn't too proud to take jobs whenever they come his way - a jobber in the truest sense of the word.

Hope he's okay...

Cody was way more overt, but you could create a drinking game with the amount of times Omega referred to "that place" with a perpetual sneer.

Big Swole on Tony Khan's recent criticism: "Dude, you weren’t saying all that when you was smoking my weed... It’s heartbreaking. Really it is because I thought we were friends. But damn." https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2022/02/big-swole-says-tony-khan-used-to-smoke-her-weed/ Not sure how this helps Swole end up in WWE, back in AEW, or wherever she wants to go next.

Black's presentation has been Bray Lite for months, so I wouldn't take this latest development as any kind of hint for or against.

NXT is so ice cold that even I, who usually watches the specials (and creates threads for them), couldn't be bothered.

He's not hurting himself either. He has zero to lose at this point.

No Poops On The Plane: Michael Hayes Was Once Tasked To Find Out Who Pooped On Vince McMahon's Plane https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/no-poops-plane-michael-hayes-was-once-tasked-find-out-who-pooped-vince-mcmahon-s-plane

Everyone in Florida just said "THANK GOD!" and breathed a collective sigh of relief that this is fake. I like TK, but the last thing we need are more celebs/pro wrestlers in politics stepping outside their lane to disastrous results (Donald Trump, Linda McMahon, most pro wrestlers who become politicians).

Gotta admire his honesty. If it were me, I would've made it seem like that was the plan all along.

"Who is this big fella?" All time great Rumble moment and Brock reaction - squandered! Even though I thought both of tonight's debuts were surprisingly low key in their presentation, especially Jay White's, Keith looked like an absolute star out there. He should give half his paycheck to Kassidy for bumping around the way he did. WTF was WWE thinking letting Keith Lee go? I'll never understand it. My only guess is that they must've thought they already had "better" big men in Big E, Odyssey Jones, and Otis. Might be why Bronson Reed/JONAS was also released. That was another head-scratcher.

I thought both debuts were surprisingly low key in their presentation, especially Jay White's, but Keith should give half his paycheck to Kassidy for bumping around the way he did. Unless I missed it, there was no "Jay White is ALL ELITE" graphic posted anywhere.

If this is the case, I think it will be Keith Lee and Mia Yim (two debuts) OR Killer Kross and Scarlett (also two debuts). Either of them coming in as a couple makes the most sense for this rumor.

Bryan Danielson To Be Inducted Into Ring Of Honor Hall Of Fame https://www.mandatory.com/wrestlezone/news/1279069-bryan-danielson-to-be-inducted-into-ring-of-honor-hall-of-fame

Vince would completely no-sell it. When have we ever seen him have a meltdown? (Stupid talk show appearances aside, and those were calculated stunts anyway.) Moot point, because the mystery person is in a match to qualify for a future TNT Title shot. That ain't Shane.

Now on HBO Max https://www.hbomax.com/series/urn:hbo:series:GYdXmhg2BhoIeqwEAAAAy Without all the horrible ads the TNT app had, I might go through these one weekend when I have nothing else to watch/do.

Christian exceeded the hype for me. Just sayin'...
