Why do most of these open letters not understand that he broke a specific rule? It's obvious that they don't understand that Gabe's vision for booking is much different than Heyman's.

Because of the unwritten rule of not burying your own talent publically

Sorry dawn, that rule went out of the window with Benoit

Colt went to a WWE show to visit some friends backstage. Since the doctor that's suing them is employed by the WWE, and is probably being funded by the WWE, Punk got pissed.

The contact info thing was even more petty. Hornswoggle lost his phone and asked Punk for a mutual friend's info. I guess Hornswoggle and Punk had been close friends for years, and Punk cut him off completely.

Newsflash guys in case you didnt know:

Can somebody please explain PCO to me.

Last thing I know he's fighting in Brawl For All in an eyepatch, disappears for 20 years and now he's 50 and putting on MOTNs on stacked indy cards.

What the hell went on with his life?

He was working canadian feds for years while holding a shoot job (not at taco bell haha)

He recently stopped a couple years ago as he had moved to the boonies and had a change of heart and wanted to give it one last go

Hell of a nice guy to boot

Edit: some of his matches with super young Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are phenomenal for the time if you can find them somewhere

Double edit i can actually share without ultra doxxing:

Pco actually had a hand in organizing my bachelor party haha

Quebec is one of those provinces where if someone actively chooses to move into the rural part, I immediately assume they're a tough person who can fend for themselves regardless of the circumstances.

While we're on the topic of PCO, is that Franky the Mobster in the training videos yelling at him to go hard? Oh, Kevin Steen's told some stories about that guy...

Frankies a legend. A real riot to be around.

El Gallinero Gros posted:

My favorite story, I'm remembering this from pure memory so I might get some details wrong, is the one Kevin told where he invited some hecklers into the ring, one of them took him seriously, got kicked in the face (breaking his nose and glasses) by Kevin because he thought they were gonna try and get physical. Then later on, the guy's friends are waiting for Kevin in the parking lot, and they tell a wrestler to go in ask for Kevin so they can "talk". Guy goes in and tells Franky. Franky comes out instead of Kevin, and says "I heard you guys wanted to talk to me?" and they go "No, we want Steen". Franky goes to them "No, trust me: you wanna talk to me". At this point they get the hint that if they keep pressing, something bad's gonna happen. Now, for those of you not familiar with Franky, he's a HUGE human being, and a 2-3 pencil neck geek marks aren't gonna do poo poo to him, most likely. Like he's barely less ripped than Scott Steiner was in his prime. He's also legendarily tough and known for being a guy you better be damned sure you can take down if you're gonna gently caress with him.

Ya mean this one? If this is the one i was there laughing with kevin as franky went out haha

Edit: the fan didnt get his nose broken

I just recorded an episode of SMASH Wrestling when looking for MLW on my cable and apparently Franky now goes by "The Beast King FTM" and comes to the ring with a snake on his head crawling in and out of his mouth and projectile vomits blood.

Yeah hes obviously calming down in his older age

This Alicia Atout girl is a loving horrible interviewer.

She needs time. She's been doing indie blog stuff so she's a bit out of her element right now. That sais some of her stuff with Smash and her blog isn't all that bad. Like Renee Paquette at the beginning (who was absolutely horrid her first couple times after leaving Sportsnet), she found her groove.

I'm always worried that idiot fans will try to grab at wrestlers when they're right up to the apron. Thankfully it hasn't happened yet.

The IWS has run no guardrails for pretty much all of its 20 year existence (i can count on two hands the times we've had to go with guardrails due to commission/venue requirements)
In all those years we only had an issue once....

In which Kevin Owens promptly kicked the fan in the loving face.
