If you had a drinking game where you took a shot every time someone said THE ORIGINAL SHIELD, youd be dead now.

Wow, another Steph browbeating promo to make the captain of the Raw team look like a kid being scolded by the principal,

She's been training at the PC to get back in shape, so if it's not tonight it's a matter of time until she returns. I would expect them to keep her strong since the Rock is producing the movie about her. The real test will be after the movie's out and if she hasn't had another implosion in the meantime.

It's also kind of annoying how a lot of the people coming at Dave automatically dismiss anyone and anything not WWE, several times they've come at him that wrestler X or Y can't be a star in wrestling because they've never had at WWE run which is ridiculous.

I was wondering, do all the agents and assorted backstage folks all make the UK tours? I could see a miscommunication happen if they have the B team running things backstage.

Also there's a gif floating around twitter where it looks like the Impact logo on the TNA/IMPACT/GFW belt looks like they straight up used a bumper sticker. That's some pure uncut LOLTNA right there.

Oney Lorcan says hi.

Only if they replace the announce team with the Hypnotoad from Futurama.

"Pro wrestling journalism" has never been a bastion of quality. For a long time it was just Dave, Wade, and a bunch of copypaste sites regurgitating their stories and getting them wrong half the time.

Agreed. So now we're pretending pro wrestling is some high art that is too precious to be sullied by the likes of TMZ?

Jordan on the Raw team just seems like a giant neon sign blaring "ANGLE ALERT" (no pun intended), that it almost seems like they're purposely doing it to troll the fans.

Also is ProWrestlingSheet a reliable source? Not saying it isn't, but it just seems like everyone just decided one day to take everything they say at face value.

The ProWrestlingSheet story seems to imply they've become pouty since Jimmy Jacobs was fired, which okay it sucks your buddy got shitcanned, but you're in the middle of a major push for chrissakes. It seems really dumb, especially for Sami, to react badly now.

According to wrestling Twitter, Sami Callahan has allegations of domestic violence surrounding him so I'm not sure that "Safe Space for Domestic Abusers" is the rebranding that Anthem should he going for.

I'm hoping they did it since literally zero people on Earth bought Brock vs Jinder as a credible match.

Anyone who lives around Ottawa can make some easy cash, Impact is paying people to attend their tapings now.

New collections have been added for AJ, Bret/Shawn rivalry, and a second Ric Flair one covering from 1991 on, Has the bout where the Rockers beat the Hart Foundation for the titles only for it to be reversed due to broken ropes (kayfabe) or them deciding to not release Anvil (legit) been on the network before? If not, it's part of this new collection.

It's also interesting that New Japan is sending Naito and Hiromu to CMLL, which I think is the first time they've sent a top level guy since Tanahashi won the Universal tournament in 2013.

It should be interesting how this changes things business wise, as you have to think Vince isnt too happy about this.

Jericho and Kenny were clearly working an angle on Twitter so it looks like Chris Cruise is upset he thought it was real heat. Its apparently the worst thing that can happen nowadays to be convinced a wrestling storyline is real.

Im sure its not a coincidence that they announced the return date to Long Beach on the same show Jericho pops up at. NJPW is all about world wide expansion in 2018.

In HHH's case in particular they were trying (too hard IMO) for the cool heel element with him and somehow thought that was how to achive that.

The Red Wedding match is off, Taya is going to miss the PPV and the following tapings due to family issues.

The fact that he felt the need to say he didn't feel any shame in being released seems to suggest that the company views it as a failure on the talent's part. If your release isn't related to drugs/behavior it's an odd comment to make. Plus he's another "got hurt, lost his spot, got cut" release which will only further encourage people to not miss any time.

"I'm not ashamed of being released" seems like quite the tell on the WWE mindset, doesn't it?
