Wait, I had no idea that actually happened ! Holy shit. And now, Bix mentions that Hugo Savinovich is spreading rumors of Alberto talking to WWE. That has to be complete bullshit, right ? Although likewise Riddle, there's nothing more to be said, case closed, ya see... Alberto vs Riddle for the WWE title at Sumerslam anyone ? I mean, while we're at it, go for broke and burn that company to the ground.

No shit, the guy drove that shit straight into his skin and it *had* to suck. The fact blood was beginning to drip on his face only made him look even more badass.

Stop that shit now. The mere fact that in a discussion about sexual harassment and power dynamics in WWE the *only* thing you saw fit to post is "Wow, the use of "Stephy" is misogynistic" says *everything about you*. You're basically a troll. Welcome to my ignore list too (so don't bother answering with another idiotic take), you're in quite a really shitty company there BTW.

Really now ? I will try to remain polite, but what a fucking idiotic thing to say. I call Meltzer "Meltz" all the time. I've called Goldberg "Goldy" for ever. Desperado is called "Despy" by a shitload of people. Abdullah the Butcher is "Abby" to everyone. So, I will keep on calling Stephanie McMahon "Stephy" because, well, I do. Nothing is worse than fake-ass virtue signaling.

I mean, Mr. McMahon. That's the character. These people...

Sexual harassement = RATINGS !!!! Gotta have Stephy talk about it's an attack against the family, that THESE PEOPLE are trying to get Sugar Daddy Vince. Maybe Riddle can win a belt too. They really want to upstage the Crown Jewel shows as far as most disgusting promotional tactic now, don't they ?

That too !

Also, how long before good ol' Johnny Ace gets thrown under the bus ? Speak up now ladies !

If there's ever a time for a "Holy shit" chant. Gotta love the fact they put Stephy in as a socko for his father a few weeks after they buried her. Because it's nothing but a shadowplay of course. It's like Putin "only" being the prime minister or something.

Plus, in a show that already did poor in the ratings, do we want to sit through an overlong and crappy looking head shaving (it NEVER works well when those guys are dripping with sweat), of the BABYFACE, mind you ? The fact Ortiz shrugged it off works exactly like Wardlow no selling the whipping, it makes Ortiz look like a tough guy who doesn't give a fuck, he just lured Jericho in and now they get the Blood & Guts match.

It doesn't matter one bit if she's thought to be "fuckable" or not. The mere fact an official told her that constitutes sexual harassement. We were talking about Wendy Choo the other day, in a show that has mostly been built on the sex-appeal of its quite young women roster, what do you think the argument was about her so she wears that ridiculous outfit ? I really wish we would get a DivaSpeakingOut out of this, although it probably won't happen. After Deeb's promo the other week about "satisfying old pervert", Meltz told the story of how her and ODB used to be the most over women in OVW and how neither got a contract, whereas swimsuit models got signed. Deeb only got a contract after she got a boob job done.

Thought the same thing.

And so Randy Orton is trending on the French Twitter and I go WTF ? So apparently, he's got a back injury and could miss the entire rest of the year if he gets surgery.

In other news, the McMahons penthouse is for sale apparently https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/vince-and-linda-mcmahon-s-41-million-penthouse-stamford-appears-be-sale Anyone got some dough on the side ?

We need David Simon and George Pelecanos to do a mini-series called "We Own This Business".

Depends of what he wants to do. He absolutely could. But does he *want* to do it ? Watching him go with Ospreay, Dax in the G1 would rule so much. Now I want this match and I won't get it.

It ain't over 'til it's over ! If Sasha Banks has been released, holy shit. And now, a good old délit d'initié going on with the stocks ? So much crazy shit. I sure hope I don't die from the heatwave in the next two days so that I can see what happens next !

Wardow powerbombs a hundred people and the crowd goes mild. Guess what ? Because the AEW audience is all about what followed : Ospreay vs Dax was awesome. As expected. Ospreay vs Orange. Well, fuck me, this is the greatest match I did not know I wanted. I understand Tana can't cut a promo in English, but the JAS run-in felt way unecessary and made Tana kind of an after thought. Then again, Tay Tay Tay... Baker's selling of Storm hip attack (which was WICKED in slow-mo) totally fooled me. Good match, and Tony Storm vs Thunder Rosa has to set a new bar. If I'm TK, I'm making everything possible to have some Stardom talent show up (since it's all the same parent company and Storm has a history there). Just picture KAIRI challenging the winner... Bucks winning is absolutely the right move. They are the top stars, and whoever beats them (FTR ?) gets more out of it than beating Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy. Awesome match too, of course, and the Christian Cage turn was a great angle. You could feel it just before it happened it was the right moment. The booking of the PPV is hurt by injuries and bad timing issues, that's beyond their control. So sure, it's not the mega-joint PPV it could have been, but still, in the end it is slowly building toward something really cool.

Because Sasha Banks & Naomi quitting before RAW and getting buried publicly, Kota Ibushi dropping bombs on NJPW management, MJF no showing and going Pillman, Cody Rhodes working with a torn pec, CM Punk getting injured just after winning the AEW title, Jeff Hardy going DUI and getting suspended AIN'T SHIT ! Trip says "Hold my beer" and goes "Hey Vinnie, remember the Curtain Call ?". I mean, this is too good to be true, really. But the very thought of it is hilarious.

There SO MUCH shit hidden in the closet with Vince. Remember the old rape accusations back in the early 90's. The entire Diva era is probably filled with creepy shit in term of how recruitment went and backstage stuff, and I'm not even talking about what actually made TV (that infamous Trish barking stuff, among other things). And you know the plans are all about those authorized biographies (aka completely revisionist and full of lies) of Vince coming up too. Fuck. Isn't this the time to just blast the old fucker out of his pedestal already ? Yeah, the timing of Stephy's departure, with the burial that followed, looks even more "funny" now...

Oh, for sure. I was baffled when they booked that ladder match after learning Jeff was out during most of the Young Bucks match.

This. He wasn't working a super hard style in TNA either before the most infamous incident. Sure, at times he was doing stunts, but Jeff Hardy in TNA at this point was mostly by the numbers matches where he would sell a lot and do his token (sloppy looking), very usual in-ring spots. And he was much younger and way less banged up, and he still ended up completely fucked up. Also, getting fucked up is one thing. Driving while being fucked up is another completely. Even drunk as fuck, you can still have the conscience to get a taxi or an Über. Jeff Hardy apparently doesn't. This has nothing to do with whatever style of pro-rasslin he is doing. That's *entirely* on him. The guy has severe issues. Oh, and all the people going tribalist shit with this posting "Vince was right" forget a tad bit quickly that actually, Vince tried to lure him back with the promise of an HOF induction to prevent him going the the opposition. Jeff simply did not take on the offer, but Vince was all about signing him back and honoring him in the process. So there. Also, having been in her situation *many times* over the years (and therefore I fully empathize with her, because it SUCKS on its own quite enough without having idiots pointing fingers), she's 100% right here : People who don't know anything about what actually goes on should just shut the fuck up.

"We need hot girls to draw that young males demos damnit ! She can't possibly fit into those plans ! Put her in a onesie !"

Well, good. (that Reby Hardy TikTok is next level)

Regal really sounds like my kinda guy. Still not sure I want to try this pod though thus far.
