WWE TV 12/26 - 1/1 Jesus > Hitler > The Undertaker

[NintendoLogic]

This tweet has been making the rounds. Be sure to make a note of the context provided by readers at the bottom of the tweet. Also note that the list doesn't come from a piece in the actual magazine but rather an article by a "guest contributor" (read: a glorified blog post by some rando). Still, this confirms my suspicion that the Brothers of Destruction are two of the ten most controversial individuals to have ever lived.

Speaking of spooky wrestlers, Bray Wyatt made his long-awaited (?) return to the ring at last night's MSG show. The bad news is that it was against Jinder Mahal. The good news is that he paid tribute to Brodie Lee on the second anniversary of his passing.

Last night's Raw was a best-of show, but JOHN CENA will be in action on Smackdown. About time that show had some star power.

I always thought that Federer was universally liked. Maybe the writer of that article is Serbian?

[KawadaSmile]

So, WWE has signed with DRAGON LEE.

Well at least now he won't be unmasked and renamed Spunky Martinez or something. Also I hope WWE is ready to deal with the legendary Munoz family pain-in-the-ass-edness.

[NintendoLogic]

Cool. I'm sure he won't suffer the same fate as literally every other non-fluent English speaker to sign with WWE.

By the way, Lee and Dralistico beat FTR for the AAA tag titles at Noche de Campeones, which means a WWE guy beat an AEW team. TK needs to learn how the game is played.

They're gonna slap him in the Lucha Dragons! Do they still exist? They're bringing back the Lucha Dragons!

Since WWE threads always end up being soccer threads as well, RIP to the GOAT of all GOATs, the man, the fucking KING OF THIS SHIT (sorry had to make it somewhat wrestling related), Pele who passed away yesterday.

I'm sure there's a period of mourning in Brazil since he was a national hero and icon.

Also to make it wrestling related, I was today years old when I learned it was Don West who coined AJ Styles' bicycle kick the Pele Kick back in TNA.

The biggest and best athlete the world has ever seen. No other man stopped a war just by virtue of his sportsmanship and skill.

Immortal. Truly. In terms of being an ICON worldwide, I don't think any other sportsperson comes close. Maybe Ali, and the list ends there. 

 

It saddens me that the few Brazilian wrestlers to make it to the big leagues basically did not give a single fuck about his passing. 

Anyways, here's a picture of Pelé, the man who actually inspired Samus Aran's name, with Andre the Giant.

Yeah him and Ali are on another level never to be reached again by mere mortals.

I love how it seems like literally everyone who was alive in the 70s/80s seems to have had their photo taken with Andre.

Bray Wyatt and LA Knight may be my two least favorite acts on Smackdown not named Karrion Kross, so I'm glad the show is getting this WrestleCrap over with right away.

[KawadaSmile]

Bray Wyatt fucking STINKS.

[Coffey]

This Sheamus/Solo match has been stiff as fuck! Love it. 

[MoS]

Watching for the 2nd greatest mainstream star in wrestling history (first is Batista) 

Sheamus has always been great, one of the greatest TV workers in history

[Coffey]

The back pose from Raquel is so not impressive. She comes out & pretends she’s Lex Luger or something.

[Coffey]

This has been pretty good too. Raquel’s roll through Scott Hall “sack of shit” was awesome.

[Coffey]

Oh. Ok then.

[KawadaSmile]

I am sick. Charlotte must pose.

[MoS]

Oh fuck this 

[Flyin' Brian]

Just now, MoS said:

Oh fuck this 

Yep. I’m watching tonight for Cena but I’m tempted to call it a night now. 

[Strummer]

What the hell. Charlotte beats Ronda in less than a minute. Did Ronda not re-sign??

Ronda returned at the Rumble, so it wouldn't be surprising if her contract was up.

WWE Films is still a thing, right. They need to make a Roman-Sami buddy cop film
