Question for people who have read more day to day gaming news than I have in the past decade and a half or so: Until former THQ Japan employee Justin Leeper started talking about it on social media, was there any coverage in English language (or even Japanese language) media of WWE going after Yuke's for publishing the SmackDown games (as Exciting Pro Wrestling) in Japan even though they had no license to do so? (Yuke's was the developer, but had no license to publish the game anywhere.) I haven't been able to find anything. I don't doubt that what Justin says is what happened, but that feels like a fairly big story to have been completely missed by everyone.

In a different thread someone mentioned that the Young Bucks never signed with WWE because they couldn't get a promise that they would never split up. Have they ever split up and feuded in any promotion? Tangentially related- what's the longest a 2 member tag team has competed together without ever competing against each other?

Max and Jeremy Buck did a soft break-up "we both want the X Division belt" angle in TNA and it looks like a match on Impact and a match on Xplosion. Matt/Max won both of them. They also credit this with them deciding to leave TNA.

There might be some name changes (a la Max and Jeremy Buck) that are letting things slip through the cracks, but some long-standing tag teams I don't see any 1v1 matches between: Sheepherders/Bushwackers Wild Samoans The Nasty Boys The Good Brothers The Usos Heavy Machinery The New Day* (Big E vs. Kofi and Big E vs Xavier both happened pre-New-Day, but Kofi & Xavier have never wrestled each other 1v1) Buff Bagwell and Judy Bagwell Braun Strowman and Nicholas Santana and Ortiz wrestled once in Beyond circa 2016

The Otis and Tucker thing is more funny because he reflexively broke them up but didn't even bother booking a breakup match.

I think the only promo that sucked as hard or harder then Rick Steiner in that era was Taz's "Thug life born, thug life bred, and when the time is right, I'll be thug life dead!" At least, "If you don't like me, bite me!" was much shorter.

Is there a term for like, the bad guy version of the Ace of the company? Like when Hunter was on top in WWE for 10 years, or Flair in NWA/WCW. I feel like "company ace" should be a babyface most of the time. Even in a company that typically has faces on top - what would a guy like Edge have been called while Cena was ace?

I didn’t realize the Bushwhackers were around that long. Good for them for transitioning to comedy guys though, probably added years to their careers.

Cornette referred to this as "the guy who works against the guys who draw money" but that's mostly only applicable to HHH and like, Orton
