I'm still not convinced that Raw Underground wasn't something we all somehow collectively dreamt up during the depths of covid and that, in reality, it never actually happened.

Cody Rhodes gimmick reminds me of what would happen if Livejournal became sentient. He’s like the zaurg of wrestling. American nightmare? More like American Whiner!

Didn't Raw Underground end when Retribution invaded it?

Sorry, the sentient Livejournal wrestler is CM Punk. Whiny? Yelling into the void? Actually used Livejournal way past its prime? That’s the Punker.

Was he using it after the FSB bought it?

If the WWE thread getting infected with Punk Derangement Syndrome posts means there'll be less of them in the AEW thread, well that's a sacrifice I'm prepared to make

A bunch of us who had totally hand waved Raw, some of us for years, tuned into the Raw Underground episode because they were advertising SHANE IS BACK AND HE'S GOT A BIG SURPRISE

It was a bizarre loving experience. I encourage you to go find that GDT, it's a bunch of people who haven't watched Raw in months or years parachuting into a pandemic performance center episode that was completely insane and yet somehow still deathly boring.

Breaking up the Hirt Business was dumb as poo poo, could have elevated all those guys as they are all talented. Cedric especially. Maybe he’d get a shot in AEW someday but people also get lost in the shuffle there, it’s just less malice and more Tony not being able to spin that many plates.

I would love to read this.

I like Cedric and wish he could get a shot but I also don't think he would be in a hurry to work for the guy who said his wife sucks rear end.

None listed, fuckstick!
I find it so hilarious that people not only read what I write here, but openly debate what "cryptic" things I write and the "meaning" behind them. There's a lot of over active imaginations out there, and they usually come in the form of somebody that thinks they know the business because they bought a few wrestling dvds. If you don't like what I write here, don't read it. Chances are if it's "cryptic", and i'm tired because i've been up for over 24hrs, it's just mindless drivel. Trust me, that last entry wasn't written for anybody to understand, it was just in my head and I posted it. I don't even understand it. It's not a coded message for "help, i'm unhappy!", because honestly i'm the happiest kid on the planet right now.

If you don't like it, don't read it.

Sometimes i'm angry at the world, sometimes i'd like to punch a lot of people, but i'm LEARNING! (ho ho! the punker must not be happy!)

Haters beware, i've never been more happy.

Let the internet bravery begin...

Several days ago, PWInsider.com reported that WWE had asked for an extension to respond to the latest MLW amended lawsuit, citing that they would be seeking new legal counsel to represent them going forward.

As of today, WWE's longtime legal firm K&L Gates will no longer represent them in the case. WWE will instead be defended by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Warton & Garrison LLP.

Jerry McDevitt told Wrestlenomics.com that he was transitioning into retirement, thus he could not represent WWE, stating:

"As you may know, since early 2022 I have been working towards retirement. I had hoped that the Court would again dismiss MLW’s lawsuit as it did the first time. When it did not, and it became obvious that the case would run into at least 2025 in all probability, I advised my client that I would be wrapping things up by year-end and that it would make sense for them to secure counsel who can go the distance on the case now that discovery will be starting. There is also the chance that I might be a witness given the allegations. I will be 74 this January and it just seems like the right time to make necessary transitions."
