Going back a bit, but the way I have seen "knacker" used are:
1) tired. as in "I'm knackered after my 12 hour shift down the mines."
2)To kill a horse, and most likely turn it to glue.
and most often 3) a testicle. i.e. "I'm walking a bit gingerly because I got punched in the knackers by my 4 year old son yesterday"

in Ireland the word "knacker" can be used as a deragatory term for people of the Travelling community, who have been recognised as a distinct ethnic group by the Irish state.
so if you used it against a Traveller you would be comitting a racist crime/hate speech whatever it's called

there you go, good to know

i'm going on a trip to find out the origins of the word ****** as general and fully accepted commonwealth slang, and whether or not it actually is a slur everywhere even though it's not considered one everywhere. it appears to be initially what they would call a person whose business is the disposal of dead animals that cannot be eaten. so these days, if it's the same meaning, i imagine people who say they are '*******ed' are talking about how they're so worn out that they have to be hauled away by a *******. but was this a normal "clinical" noun at the time that it was in use, or a word that was somewhat insulting? in either case, did the word later become insulting because of the nature of the occupation? and was this definition, insulting at one point or not, eventually used in order to create the slur used toward certain people? if no one has answers to these questions it seems like there should be a moratorium on anyone saying they're *******ed, etc until i get back from my trip. I'll see you all in 2 weeks.

While speaking on the Going Broadway podcast, Kylie Rae revealed that WWE did not really accept her and didn’t sign her to a contract and she is doubtful about it happening right now.

Never say never, to my knowledge, not in the Rumble. As far as something long-term, at this point, I got the, ‘not right now’ deal, which is okay. If it’s meant to be, it’ll happen. If it’s meant to be, it would have happened. It’s more so, they’re having us still come back for extra work, I was there this past Friday and the Friday before.

There are rumors that The Rock might not be coming back, and we can confirm that WWE has had some plans in the event that doesn't happen, and some HUGE pitches.

Fightful Select has learned that a pitch was made internally for a "huge opponent" for Stone Cold Steve Austin, which Fightful Select was told was Roman Reigns. We're told at the very least, Austin's camp was approached with the possibility of it happening, which was said to have been for "enormous" money. In the Summer of 2022, Fightful reported that Austin was approached with a deal that wasn't as appealing from a financial standpoint. Those that we spoke to in WWE claimed they hadn't heard back on whether the more recent offer was accepted or not, and another source indicated that another "big name" was offered in the months prior.

As of early December, WrestleMania title matches (as reported by WrestlingNews.co) were slated as Drew McIntyre/Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins one night and TBD/Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns another night. We do not know how or if that has changed.

Austin finally agreed to make an in-ring return at least year's WrestleMania, where he main evented against Kevin Owens. Even up until the day, there were concerns that Austin would change his mind, and we were told they weren't sure he'd do the night 2 interactions with Vince McMahon until the day of.
