I've heard loads of stories about JBL picking fights with people smaller than him, bullying writers and taking advantage of people in wrestling matches where if the other guy fought back they'd be fired. But every time I hear a story about JBL getting into a straight square go he gets knocked the gently caress out in humiliating fashion.

He's like the platonic ideal of a bully.

The story about how he hosed with Steve Blackman and Blackman repeatedly told JBL he was going to kill him--until JBL apologized twice--is fantastic lol. As is the receipt that Stevie Richards gave JBL with a chair after JBL hosed with Blue Meanie.

Moral: JBL can't handle Steves

Roman vs Jey: 2x (Clash 20, HIAC 20)
Seth vs Finn: 2x (Summerslam 16, MITB 23)
Asuka vs Charlotte vs Becky: 1x (HIAC 22)
Cody vs Brock: 2x (Backlash 23, NOC 23)
Paul vs Ricochet: new

I guess it only feels like they've run Roman v Jey ten times since the Bloodline storyline has been going on for 3 and a half loving years

in a better reality Ricochet is having 7 star matches with Speedball but I guess playing patsy for one of the worst internet people alive is good too

never will forget the Elimination Chamber match where he pinned both Cena and AJ in succession, the coolest and strongest he ever looked, just an insane main event, was so loving stoked when he finally swam upstream for the gold. Sucks that they hosed it up later but for that instant he was the golden god, horrible that he went so young.

This is probably one of my favorite WWE moments:

Bray honestly played his part perfectly through this whole arc. Very talented heel when they let him actually get a win every once in a while.

insane that without this moment we probably never get Bryan's ascension towards two major title reigns---Bryan going over all of the wwe-made guys, and then going on to put over Kofi for the biggest moment of his life. Also fair to say that without Wyatt Family, a lot of The Shield's momentum (and Brodie) doesn't happen as smoothly. Bray was so fuckin important to so many of those guys getting over and getting their reps in just because he could sell himself as a unique character.

Shelton Benjamin would be great anywhere. Ziggler will be fine and can easily be a top guy in like, Impact/NWA/GCW/etc. Idk if there's room in AEW for him.

Ali I'd say the same thing; AEW is now stuffed to the gills with talent so I just don't know if they'd really be able to give any of those guys the right spotlight. A year or two ago absolutely but they really do not need any of them.

If Sheamus got released he should get insta-signed by NJPW or AEW, dude is a beast.

Tony already used all the spare cash on re-signing RUSH, a guy better than anyone who will be released today. unless like, Pete Dunne gets released then there's nobody worth cramming into the overstuffed turkey that is AEW.

People clamoring for Emma seem to forget Tony didn't give a single poo poo the first time she was a free agent lol

all I've seen are people saying Smackdown was stacked but looking at the actual show it was basically a nothing tag match, a 3-minute women's match, and then the tag title match / Knight v Sikoa. All those promos and people walking around for like 3 loving matches in 2 hours

I was at SmackDown last night. Huge crowd that was absolutely electric for Dom Mysterio and LA Knight. Dark match was Imperium versus Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and Sami Zayn. It was awesome getting to see GUNTHER and Dragon Lee live.

insane that a company that legit has Dragon Lee, Sami Zayn, Dragunov and WALTER will still devote an hour to the 50th month of Bloodline Drama and The loving Miz.

Having never gotten the hype for Eli Drake at all in Impact I am glad he finally found a big spot as Knight late in his career, they'll never do it but he'd probably be a fantastic world champion for them

None of what happens in WWE was a secret. There's a reason HHH was covering up assault, racial discrimination and sexual harassment in the PC including retalititory firings. This is how the company operates.

Yeah HHH explicitly went to bat for Hugh Morrus, it’s in his wheelhouse.
