I thought it was well-known that Jarrett and Lawler switched off on booking duties every six months. You can clearly see it if you pay attention to the booking in Memphis. You'd get six months of classic style Southern rasslin' followed by six months of Lawler feuding with Ta-Gar, Lord of the Volcano.

I could see them doing something like the Eurocontinental title match at WM2000 and have Roman lose both belts without being pinned for either. That way, you send the fans home happy (or at least happier than they would be if Roman retains) and save the Roman/Cody singles match for Summerslam (which actually needs a big main event since it probably can't sell out a stadium on name value alone).

Isn't Yellowstone like the most popular show on TV right now?

If you need another example of why pro wrestling continues to draw such low ad rates, some fans apparently legitimately called the police to report MJF after his promo on Dynamite.

I am all about this. Dickhead Okada is the best Okada.

Remember Alex Riley? He's back, in Top Dolla form! My brother in Christ, Billy Corgan's NWA is not worth dying for. By the way, in case you thought this company couldn't get any worse, we're getting both a full-fledged CYN invasion now that EC3 has officially signed and a Tyrus/Bully Ray world title feud.

Rey obviously should be treated as a legend who only loses sparingly and when it means something, but he's never been presented that way at any point in his WWE career. Doing it now would be like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube.

Luger had a passion for making money, and pro wrestling was easy money for someone with his size and physique. He was disciplined in his training and diet since his body was his meal ticket, but he never had any real respect for the craft of wrestling. Just about everyone who worked with him has said that he considered the business beneath him.

Step 1: fuck around Step 2: find out

The only Alexa matches I thought were passable were the ones against Ronda. The best use of her in the ring is as a glorified manager who gains a momentary advantage through stalling or cheating before being thoroughly destroyed. Presenting her as a dominant heel who knocked people out with a single punch might have been even more intelligence-insulting than the Bray Wyatt shit. Good for her for overcoming anorexia, but if it stunted her growth to the point where she can't take bumps, then pro wrestling might not be the ideal career choice.

Counterpoint: Lex Luger.

He broke his finger at a house show in December.

She made her account private. What did the tweet say? Not that it really matters since nothing a WWE wrestler says about the sheetz being wrong can be taken at face value.

Reports are it was a stroke. His condition is improving, but the situation is still very serious.

It stands for "poof," which is UK/Commonwealth slang for a gay man. I don't quite know how it compares in offensiveness to the f-word in the US, but it's not exactly a term of endearment.

Censoring "wanker" but not "dickhead" might be the most Australian thing I've ever seen.

What piles of money are they turning down? If we're looking at non-guaranteed revenue, Sami in the main event of Mania won't result in a single additional ticket sold. And Cody is the one whose merch is flying off the shelves. Speaking of merch movers, it has come to light that Bray worked the Mountain Dew match with a broken finger he had sustained at a house show in December, which is probably why it was as short as it was. Truth be told, that was probably a blessing in disguise since it almost certainly would have been even worse had it gone longer. In completely unrelated news: This guy's best friends with everybody, isn't he?

Not sure what it says about the PC that WWE feels the need to outsource the in-ring aspect of developmental. That, or there are select indies they want to acquire/shut down and they plan on sending NXT talent as a Trojan horse.

On the other hand, Dave Mirra was diagnosed with CTE. I'ts highly unlikely that he'll be the only extreme sports star with that diagnosis.

I hope they explain why he was billed as Crusher Bam Bam Bigelow in New Japan. Having two nicknames as part of your ring name seems like overkill to me. Did the office think that Bam Bam was his shoot first name?

Pro wrestling was pretty big in Korea in the 1960s and 1970s with Kintaro Oki (whose real name was Kim Il) as the top star. From what I've read, the assassination of President Park Chung-hee in 1979 caused things to fall apart. Park was a wrestling fan, but his successor Chun Doo-hwan was not. The government seized Oki's gym, and the scene died out after Oki retired in the early 1980s. Maybe brother @KinchStalker can shed some more light on the subject. By the way, I've felt for a while now that pro wrestling was overdue for a kpop gimmick. A Korean pretty boy tag team with a finisher called the Perfect All-Kill would be a license to print money.

I'm sorry, but this is one of the least appropriate things to dunk on WWE for. Japanese and Mexican promotions have had corporate sponsors on the canvas for decades, to say nothing of boxing and MMA.

This is on pace to be stretched out even more than Bill and Ted's series of games with Death.

Doubtful. He's been doing that shit for as long as I've been watching him. He was even doing it in MLW.

And to send the fans home happy by putting the hometown hero over.
