C.S.

I wonder if Marina Shafir is safe because of her connection to Roddy Strong, or if they're both really on their way out the door?

Add Jessamyn Duke and Vanessa Bourne to that list. Edit: Kavita Devi too. Kinda shocked about Jessamyn. Figured she was safe because of Ronda and the possibility of an eventual 4 Horsewomen vs. 4 Horsewomen match. Of course, they can always bring her back for that as a one-shot. If Bruce Hart can work a WWE PPV, why not Jessamyn?

I sincerely hope Drake gets the help he needs, but with enablers like Road Dogg (who should also be canned IMO, which I hate to say because I like him) and his wife, I fear he's just going to keep going down this road and consider himself a martyr because he was released "for his beliefs." Jake Clemons (another ref) was reportedly also released. Edit: Also Alexander Wolfe, Skyler Story (Ava Storie), and Ezra Judge.

Thanks. Since there's no difference, I went ahead and got it on Kindle. I have no idea who the hell Michel Chaisne or Adolf Kaiser are, but that chapter from the sample hooked me anyway. I really like your writing style, and the art is awesome. Looking ahead, I was surprised to see Lightning Kid vs. Jerry Lynn on the list. I didn't remember that having blood. Such a cool idea for a book. I hope you do very well with it.

Best WWE match Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode have ever been in? It has my vote.

This looks amazing. One question: The art in the Kindle version is B&W. Is it also B&W for the paper version, or is it in color there? Just to be clear, I love B&W art - I'm just wondering if it's the same in both. Thanks!

I'm calling it now: Jimmy will become Bitch #2 to Roman and cost Cesaro the match.

My heart wants Cesaro to win but my head realizes it's way too soon to take the title off of Roman.

Thank God that's over. Typical heatless WWE "hardcore" garbage-style match. Seen one, seen them all.

I do not care at all about this match. Braun is a yawn, and I've gotten my fill of pointless rematches with zero drama or doubt.

Botched finish? Bayley looked like she kicked out.

Dome

That was awful. Did WWE purposely sabotage Batista's movie with that rotten dogshit?

This is Robocop in WCW levels of bad.

Actually a really fun match, and a nice tribute to Dom's true papi at the end.

It feels weird seeing someone as young as Dominik on a WWE show. Everyone else his age wastes away in the Performance Center until they're 35 and balding.

I wish they'd do something interesting like have Buddy Murphy declare himself the new partner (against Rey's will), they win, and the telenovela with Aalyah Mysterio resumes in full force.

Two people I routinely forget are still in the company somehow hold major titles...amazing.

If it were me, I'd have Asuka eat a fluky pin and then bludgeon both Charlotte and Rhea into bloody messes.

This card is as ice cold as it gets. I almost forgot the show was tonight.

I totally forgot about the pre-show and missed most of Sheamus vs. Ricochet. Glad to see Ricochet on PPV, especially in a title situation, but matches with such a foregone conclusion do little for me. Hopefully this is building toward a rematch though.

Have you guys heard about pro-Israel groups trying to get Sami Zayn fired from WWE and cancelled for defending Palestine against empty suit Andrew Yang (what a nothing happening, all talk, no action waste of time he ended up being) and other politicians? That was a thing on Twitter yesterday, with #WeSupportSamiZayn trending all day. I won't touch Israel-Palestine with a ten-foot pole on this board (we're Pro Wrestling Only and all that), but I will say if Sami suffers any serious career repercussions over this while Drake Wuertz continues to embarrass both the company and himself...oof. Edit: Sami already erased the tweets - did WWE say something to him? - but you can see them here: https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2021/05/sami-zayn-wwe-fox-nbcu-reportedly-not-responding-to-questions-on-anti-israel-comments/

What a shock. I was in attendance for ECW Living Dangerously (2000) and had the best seat in the house - otherwise the worst nosebleed seats in the back - for the insane scaffold match between New Jack and Vic Grimes. A work of art it obviously wasn't, but a memorable and shocking "car crash" scene it was definitely was. I witnessed Tommy Dreamer come running out of a door to check on both of them, which seemed completely out of place to me at the time, but it made sense later on when we learned that Dreamer also had backstage office duties.

The most insidious part of Drake's lunacy is that these seem like more or less "reasonable" concerns outside the Q-bubble. That, I guess, is how they snare people in. "Human trafficking is bad": Sure. Everyone thinks so. "Abortion is murder": This one is wildly divisive, but it's certainly not a viewpoint limited to brainwashed Q radicals by any means. Children being "forced by the government" to do XYZ: Concerns about government overreach are nothing new or exclusive to the Q - except, in this case, he's babbling about mask mandates, which are for the kids' protection, his, and ours. (Funny how his "protect the kids" beliefs fall apart when they clash with his own erroneous beliefs.) "We're called to serve God": Go for it! But don't become Carrie's mother along the way. Drake is way past that point. I have no idea why the hell he wasn't kicked out of the school board meeting - or WWE, for that matter. BTW, look at that Bix tweet video without sound. Drake is shaking erratically, gesticulating wildly, making goofy facial expressions - and that's all in the first 12-15 seconds. Something is very clearly very deeply wrong with him. We are seeing a severely, profoundly mentally ill, brainwashed man (possibly caused by CTE issues) coming apart at the seams. Get him some fucking help! It's especially sad that his wife and Road Dogg are seemingly (at best) ignoring or (at worst) enabling his unraveling. Matt Riddle's lawyer is a fucking imbecile and one of the dumbest people on the face of earth. Just look at that tweet where he photographed legal documents printed on label paper. Don't be surprised if Riddle ends up in the electric chair because his lawyer smokes it up even more than he does.
