I think it started out health related, pretty sure he had to quarantine when Mia Yim ended up getting covid. After that it seems like a combo of Vince not getting why he doesn't work like Big Show and the usual loss of interest he tends to have for most people after a couple of weeks.

I've been going on an early ECW bender since most of it is up on the 'Cock now, and I just watched Rey and Juvi have a match from like 94 or 95 and now in 2021 both will be on opposing national promotions. I still am wondering if 2021 is just a mass hallucination from everyone being cooped up for most of 2020.

Dave was very clear that this is the kind of match to expect when the forbidden door was open, the only thing preventing it was the travel restrictions to and from Japan.

I'm not crazy about Hangman being back-burnered, but if you got Punk coming in and your next PPV happens to be in Chicago you gotta strike while the iron is hot.

Holy balls, I was not expecting them to go Full Nick Gage here. Also THE JUICE IS LOOSE next week!

LOL I thought that was Eric Young under that hoodie for a second.

Also Miro is the greatest.

I was thinking the same thing.

Also makes sense he would be on an AEW show considering the rumors of the bearded vegan guy who really wants to work NJPW guys coming in.

He challenged the winner of the IWGP US title match, so it certainly seemed to suggest that.

Tanahashi on AEW? What a world.

I mean, their way of heeling on the AEW crowd is to be corny goobers. YMMV on if its effective of course, but that clearly seems to be the plan here.

I mean of course the Elite are going to heel it up with corporate synergy. They know exactly what buttons to push to wind up their fan base.

It's kind of even more ridiculous when you read the spoilers and see how it played out.

Funny thing is, the official NXT account posting that picture could be seen as someone being passive-aggressive after Lee was chumped out on Raw (again). Also from the tone of his recent tweets, Lee sounds like a dude at the end of his rope and looking for an exit strategy.

I thought Ric was under some sort of a Legends deal with WWE, so that would be interesting if he showed up.

A program of Joe smashing his way through NXT would be the most exciting thing they've done in years.

Apparently Porky was considered a legit bad ass in his day, and that's why he didn't look as out of place in that environment as you would have thought.

Nick Gage, like Wu Tang, is for the children.

Joe has such a bad ass aura about him, more than almost anyone I've ever seen in wrestling. You can put him up against anyone in WWE/NXT and I'd believe he'd smash them.

Lol Coach Tony K was playing the long game the whole time

That, and also I noticed she gets a good reaction because she's so bright and bubbly, but once she starts talking about superheroes and butterflies she loses the crowd.

They're trying to push Nikki as a kids' character, and WWE's audience is so far to the other side of the age spectrum it's no surprise there's some pushback,

Psycho Clown mentioned in his comments today that his father died of a heart attack, which he had several of the last few years to the point they were doing Fritz Von Erich style fake heart attack angles with him. Porky always reminded me of an alternate universe Terry Funk where instead of having two different careers as a technical wrestler and then a hardcore legend, he went from legendary trios wrestler (to the point it made trios a lucha staple) to being the greatest comedy wrestler there ever was. It was hard for people who only saw the comedy guy to believe the other version existed, but for someone to be that good at two completely different styles it speaks volumes.

Apparently she rolled her ankle during that spot, and it was bad enough that she couldn't even put weight on it when she was being helped out. Obviously Tamina isn't the greatest wrestler, but props to her for holding it together.
