Alex Bliss was part of the "Legends of the Fiend" which are no longer canon. Alexiseria Blissagano is in the new modern expanded universe lore of the fiend, part of the fiend collected universe.

I think Disney could buy WWE, but it'd be after two other streaming services buy the WWE library and cut stuff off of it. Like 3 whole rounds of polishing that turd before Disney buys the whole toilet.

depending on the parsing of that statement I doubt anyone could get it on TV. Probably depends how explicit they were with him loving the dumb idiots.

Give it to Meltzer.

Every show starts with a rambling 30 minute promo by him except it's about what's going on in MMA or an in-depth biography of some territories wrestler. Greatest heel authority figure ever.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

That is what would happen but the booked segment would be Gable vs Adam Cole and they would just have to stand there and wait for it to end to begin the match.
