If even 1% of what Lio says its true, it's so weird and yet so typically pro wrestling that a guy like Mark Henry would end up becoming a company man when they spent like 3/4ths of his career making him do embarrassing shit to make him quit.

Dave mentioned that it seemed to throw off her timing after she had it done, and that caused the usual suspects going off calling him misogynist. Even Peyton herself joined in based on what people were claiming Dave said rather than what he actually said.

Also it really is extra scummy that WWE seems to get away with appearing to pressure women to get cosmetic surgery, if it ends up not ending well the woman gets all the abuse for it and feels the need to accept responsibility for having it done rather than the company who clearly expects women to look a certain way.

I got the feeling they were about to finally give up on her before she got a groundswell of support after her boyfriend died suddenly. They obviously saw it as another "the brands will win with PR" opportunity since she's been in tons of magazines since then giving motivational type interviews. Which...cool. She seems more suited for doing fitness competitions and lifestyle blog type stuff rather than professional wrestling.

Yeah, what bothers me is while it's one thing to respect everyone's choices to do what they want with their bodies it's also clear that WWE pressuring women to get cosmetic work done is the female equivalent to encouraging the men to get on the gas. It causes a situation with cases like Dana and Charlotte where they practically look like different people, but you can't make any mention of it without getting dogpiled from all sides. Then you have cavemen like Corny out there making sure any talk about it at all is more radioactive than Chernobyl and Hiroshima combined.

I noticed that, perhaps out of deference to JR's legend status, often seems hesitant to try to keep JR on point when he strays off the path. I suppose since Tony's got about the same level of experience he has it's ok if he's the one who reigns him in.

Yeah it seems likely Drew was still getting 205 Live money (peanuts), and probably got a song and dance about not being able to give anyone higher money deals in These Uncertain Times and told them to pound sand. I like to think it was maybe some insidious plan by D-Bry to work a program with a guy he knew was going to bounce at the end of his deal to maximize his income wherever he landed, but I don't know if he has that kind of evil streak in him.

I mean, it seems pretty clear Dana's had some work done and you could argue it maybe wasn't the best idea, but Jesus Christ is that the worst possible way to say it.

So it looks like Rachel Ellering got released for having issues with how WWE medical handled her rehab from reconstructive knee surgery. She stated when she brought up her issues, she was given two options that both amounted in her leaving the company, Then COVID happened and she got tossed on the release pile, which is looking more and more like their cover reason for getting rid off all the unhappy folks. At this point it looks like it's a miracle WWE's medical team hasn't killed or permanently disabled anyone with their quackery (other than the Richie Steamboat rumors). CM Punk is an asshole but he keeps getting vindicated when it comes to his opinion of their doctors.

RIP Vanguard 1

Jericho with the Ed Whalen reference, 2020 just gets stranger and stranger.

MJF=Money

I mean, at this point I'm pretty sure both Hardys are legit immune to everything.

Jesus Christ, Kris Statlander looked like Lita when she scorpion'd off that poison rana.

I guess I'm a fanboy on the AEW payroll, but these shows are light years beyond anything WWE is producing now. Everything just seems more lifelike with actual reactions from a (tiny) crowd instead of seeming to take place literally in a bubble.

Interesting that the Cruiserweight title is getting an interim champ, but Sami is getting stripped of the IC. Let's hear someone from WWE say again there will be no negative consequences from talent choosing not participate during a pandemic.

The saddest thing about Hawk (and this happened to a lot of the guys who died young) is that he got his shit together finally and was about to probably start a decent post-wrestling life when he died. I'll always remember their last appearance on Raw when they randomly showed up to challenge for the tag titles in 2003 and it was like 1986 again for a brief moment.

I guess they felt they had to since they previously recognized the relationship on air, but it was odd to say the least seeing Seth as eyeball popping psycho (which I agree was done well) on the same show he was acknowledged as Becky's baby dad.

Plus there were always rumors back in the day about just how much Mrs Baba liked him, if you get what I mean, although that was probably more from other gaijin jealous of his Hall of Fame level political abilities. To be fair, he was pretty good in the ring in his own right. Yes, he had the luxury of working with some of the best wrestlers of all time, but it's not like he was an anchor out there.

Ivar with the Mr. Perfect basketball skills got a chuckle from me.

Zombie Seth? Better get used to that after the baby's born.

Cedric and Ricochet better do the Horsemen beatdown on Truth and get this fabled MVP stable kicked off right.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIConics are back! Also the wild card rule appears to be back too.

LOL @ Drew having to catch himself from dropping an f bomb on live TV.

Seems way too early to be having discontent in Zelina's group.
