Not to me it's not I'm not wearing that. This one's sound. This one's fucking solid. FOX won't offer (x) million dollars in the next TV rights deal on the proviso they get Sami Zayn. The tugs-of-war are over Brock, Roman, Charlotte, Ronda and the (small) gang. This is not a hot-take. Potential buyers want funken Hogan before they want Sami, they want the possibility of the Rock, they want WrestleMania - they ain't buying it for Sami Zayn, even if he is the four thousandth D-list celebrity to have a charity (hi, Damar!). Sure, as in "this is one of our employees". Not, "this is the guy we're building the company around. Now where's that cheque for $8 billion?"

He hasn't hit the gym in three years, looks like Dustin Diamond and is unknown to the wider world, who the "Face of the Company" is meant to draw in. Those non-fans that do know him, know him as the comedy guy Johnny Shitsville pinned with a giant mousetrap. Number 1 babyface? Sure. Company representative you send to meet potential buyers and media players? Nah. Not ever.

Fluoro Kendo Stick, preferred weapon of Techno House Ninjas.

No "Fight Forever" chant for the Pitch Black match?

American Eagle vs Weimar Eagle

Gunther gonna smack Cody's surgically repaired chest? So far, no...

holyshit logan and ricochet

Gunther hasn't been this lean since he was twelve

Everything up to that spot was hard-hitting and earnest and a 'Mania shot is on the line and ass-clowns gonna ass-clown I'll stop now.

What a bullshit spot with Kofi and Xavier smacking each others' arses. Way to make the match seem important/serious.

Men's match starting off works for me. I's midday here and I'm due a nap in a couple of hours.

Sami's first program after the split will be with Jey, not Roman. Jey will be the most aggrieved.

For those fully immersed in the bubble at the time, I’m sure Santino was great. But if you were on the outside looking in, he was putrid, lower-than-lowest common denominator wrestlecrap.

Not even five minutes in and Cornette is in tears already. He can be classy - and more - when he drops the gimmick.

Matter can't be destroyed. It just changes form. RIP Jay.

Tapped out after an hour and a bit of today's RAW, which is about as long as I lasted with season 1 of It's Always Sunny

Vince pulled a power-play/coup d'etat just so he could defer to someone? Yeah, nah.

Saudis are casting quite the socio-economic net. From the golfing set to Geordies and stopping all stations inbetween. WHAMO, indeed.

NJPW running this pub in Melbourne in Feb. It's NJPW Tamashii, NJPW talents, New Zealand dojo workers and the "best of Australasia". Not expecting Okada as the Meet and Greet is US$16.30. Maybe Douki and Honma at those prices. US$55 for ringside.

Just watched Escala de Muerte. Still not sure exactly what I witnessed (my inner jury is still out on that one) but I know I couldn't look away. And "Fight Forever"? As in, Best of Infinity?

I thought the Takeshita-love was a mixture of hospitality and tokenism. Like when Watanabe/EVIL went on excursion to RoH and the crowds tried sooo hard to like him, even though he offered them nothing. But he was a young boy and their guest so they tried to give him the best reception possible.

Didn't sound like he was "telling wrestling journalists to F themselves". At fucking all. He mentions a deleted tweet. Bloke probably doesn't even know "wrestling journalist" is a legitimate (ahem) occupation.

Welcome to the party (est. 1984)! Then. Now. Forever.

Anyone remember George Thorogood's Willie and the Hand Jive being used on an NWA commercial tape in the 80s? My first exposure to George (and NWA iirc).

Meanwhile, Finn devotes 21 years of his life to this obsession, just so he (and Rhea, and Damien) can babysit Rey Misterio's kid. And dress like a Boricua?
