Jay White was Uncle Howdy at the Royal Rumble, but he was already an inside man for TK and he missed the dive on purpose

I feel like we've glossed over Liberty Media almost buying WWE.

As in, the current owner of the Atlanta Braves almost buying WWE.

....I mean, I think it's funny at least

they could have held one of the Saudi PPVs on the same weekend as the grand prix!

The first five for Sami, Kevin, Usos and Drew. The second for Sheamus. The sixth for Gunther (fifth in WWE making him the sole leader ahead of Gargano with four)

What was Sheamus' first 5 star match? I assume it was an earlier one with Walter

Vince went through several personalities at the time. All of them used the N word but only one did it on camera. I think it was a result of him being exploded in a limo.

i was just thinking, man cody really loves that "flash pin a guy while they do their finisher on him" spot huh

he did it to darby after getting hit with a coffin drop, he did it to penta after penta did the armsnapper, i'm like 90% sure he did it to someone who put him in a submission but i forget who

Cody rolling people up from their finishers is a good thing about him and should happen in wrestling way more. All the storyline “technical” wrestlers should be way more prepared for their opponents top move they constantly win with.

is cody a technical wrestler

A friend of mine lives in South Carolina and he said that a local brewery (that is 90s theme) has a brand new beer:



not only is triple h the least cool wrestler to name a beer after, he's also the least fitting!

they did say it was a 90s themed brewery so using a picture of triple h from the 90s is the least objectionable thing about it, including the concept of a 90s themed brewery

If WWE had any idea how to do goofy humor Lacey could actually get the over the top drill sergeant over.

Have her berate some NXT goofs and make them do burpees till they puke. Make Omos do an agility course. It would have to be a parody to get over so WWE will probably have her play it serious

Just replay that clip of her pre-Lacey Evans running drills at a Performance Center tryout and berating Sammy Guevara about his forward roll

They've done something weird with that lady's eyes, both in that gif and the match graphic. She looks like Sean Young in Blade Runner, which is to say she looks like an android.

I think it was bix who pointed out that the WWE consistently shrink or otherwise gently caress around with people's eyes when they make renders of them

Congrats to Rhea for some people online thinking she's hot, but even on the front of "attractive woman with a social media following" she has half as many Instagram followers as Charlotte Flair, who is absolutely not mainstream famous.

Zero wrestlers who rose to prominence after the early Ruthless Aggression era are anywhere close to being mainstream famous

there are people who are surprised when they learn that Dave Bautista was a wrestler
