His real name is Rami Sebai. That turns into the very memorable and easy to chant Sami Rebel so drat easily

I've always thought it was surprising that after Kenny had a respectable run on the Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, WWE never tried to slide someone on the payroll onto the show.

Bandido and Dragon Lee would be good additions to AEW, I've heard , via podcast, that Rush can be difficult to deal with so he can stay where he is.

Rush is so good that I think he at least deserves a chance. Just take all three and put them with Andrade as Los Ingobernables de AEW, they can always kick Rush out if he pulls an Ivelisse.

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.

Considering that the women audience is keeping Raw's head above water they really should.


I think an ROH/WWE working agreement would have solved some problems that both companies have, even if WWE is going back to their roots of being anti-indy. ROH would probably happily send some white dudes with bad beards over to be jobbers on NXT and the WWE has so many unused good women workers that could really help ROH's women's division which has some potential but needs some help.

It is dated and doesn’t really fit in with the times even with the notoriously always dated wrestling but the “gross” thing is just handwringing and hyperbole and getting mad at things that aren’t happening.

I honestly have no idea, Homs where his family is from had at the time they immigrated a lot of different kinds of people there, but Sami doesn’t identify himself as white

you are fantasy booking the outrage against el generico. it's just a really stupid gimmick that should never have been done. nobody who isn't a fat strong japanese guy from 1992 should come out pretending to be one and yelling one japanese word either. except eddie kingston

Trick Williams is Matrick Beltron who played for the Gamecocks college football team, and i guess was already going by Trick Beltron. He was training in CZW apparently.

The big white dude that sort of looks like a young brock with worse tattoo, Parker Boudreaux, is Gunnar Harland.

Joe Ariola is Tony D'Angelo, former college wrestler for Buffalo
