THE LIAR
Dude looks like a million loving bucks and I'm all for A) More black wrestlers making it big and B) The PC being made to look like even more of a joke than it already is.

But looking at how that dude looks, man. Considering they're even willing to give a push to Omos, who has absolutely nothing, for them to cut him, despite him looking like that, I wonder if he might just not be very good.

the one that looks like plastic fruit roll up material instead of spandex. like these fruit roll ups that were made to look like peppers. the material also looks like the outside of a perfect shiny pepper as well. not shorts made out of this but proper trunks. i bet they're extremely uncomfortable. i didn't feel like putting up a picture of those or even any of the photos of EJ Nduka wearing them

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Apparently he butted heads with Drake Wuertz on more than one occasion for obvious reasons, so they might see him as hard to work with.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

A silly question apropos of nearly nothing:

How many non-Christian wrestlers has the WWE had/have?

Goldberg, and Paul Heyman being the obvious Jewish ones. (with Colt Cabana also being technically there.) Khali was probably an observant Hindu, I would assume. Have there been any muslim wrestlers? Any Buddhists?

The reason I ask is because one of the stories about Drake the racist fascist fundie, was that he got lovely at some Performance Centre anti-discrimination speech when management said that they would not discriminate on the basis of "religion" specifically.

Sonya Deville has all the champs come out to celebrate WWE announcing a return to live events. Paul Heyman comes out instead of Roman Reigns and says he's on another level than each of them, fans will flock to come back to see him specifically, and he'll have his own parade later. Bayley says Bianca Belair cheated using her hair as a weapon and should be stripped, Bianca gets attacked by Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, Natalya and Tamina come out for the save
Bayley, Nia and Shayna defeat Bianca, Natalya and Tamina; Shayna submits Natalya
Shinsuke Nakamura defeats King Corbin via distraction from Rick Boogs (fka Eric Bugenhagen from NXT) playing Nakamura's theme on guitar
Jimmy Uso asks Sonya to book Usos vs Street Profits next week, she agrees
Reigns lets Heyman list all his accomplishments: banishing the Fiend to the lesser brand, beating Kevin Owens repeatedly, beating Daniel Bryan and Edge clean and at the same time (Edge hasn't been seen since), retiring Bryan clean, and beating Cesaro clean. Cesaro comes out in a sling and wants a rematch, Seth Rollins attacks and reinjures Cesaro's arm, then curbstomps him on the ramp twice. Cesaro's stretchered out, Seth yells at him backstage asking why he'd make him do this
Dominik defeats Robert Roode
Jey Uso doesn't like that Jimmy got him booked in a tag match without asking. Jey goes to Reigns upset
Natalya and Tamina defend the women's tag titles on Raw against Nia and Shayna
Apollo Crews retains the IC title in a fatal fourway over Big E, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Due to being no-DQ, Commander Azeez interferes, Big E fights him off. The lights go out and Aleister Black comes out and kills Big E with a kick, letting Apollo get the win

Also, WWE has always had a christian sect of sorts. There's been stories of dudes reading bibles together since the 80s. Largely unmolested too.
