C.S.

So, who here on PWO wrote this?

It's a shame, because he seemed poised to break out again after his Survivor Series victory (the one where Sting debuted), but WWE did nothing with him after that. As for Total Divas, are you serious?! Of all the reasons to cool off on a guy, his scripted actions on a fake reality show are among them?

Weird comment re: Jericho. I would absolutely be outraged. His entire third book was a drunken embarrassment. It made him look like an asshole, and I said as much at the time. With that being said, Jericho doesn't have a history of DUI (that we know of) - The Usos do. I'm glad you brought up the stories we've all heard about wrestlers in the '70s and '80s taking a six pack and driving from town to town. It's a miracle there weren't more casualties. The Usos or Jeff Hardy are going to have to fucking kill someone before WWE gets serious about this, stops rewarding bad behavior (The Usos won titles the last time something happened), and maybe moves to a bus touring system or some other solution. Some of the top guys already have buses, or at least that was a thing 5-10 years ago, but not everyone is going to want to spend their money on that. WWE should step in and provide it. They already do for NXT and overseas tours.

Great post, @DMJ. For me, a DUI is one of the worst crimes because it's reckless, selfish, and could potentially end other people's lives (not to mention the driver's). In your case, you made a mistake, learned from it, felt genuine remorse, and will never do it again. I can only respect that. I'm not seeing the same thing from The Usos. When WWE says (and not for the first time) "Jonathan Fatu is responsible for his own personal actions," that to me reeks of insincere bullshit - because the next time this happens, if a life is lost, WWE is fucking responsible.

Every wrestling fan is in the same boat, @gordi. But if you ever want to make it official... https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/wrestler-t-shirts/kamala/kamala-campaign.html

Jimmy Uso was arrested again for DUI. Fuck him. And fuck WWE for constantly looking the other way and giving him a million "second" chances. "Jonathan Fatu is responsible for his own personal actions." When the next DUI ends with a casualty, WWE will be responsible too.

@Matt D Here's one that was awesome and raved about at the time. Will be interesting to see how it holds up almost 30 years later. From January 6th, 1992 (not sure if that was the match date or air date): The Lightning Kid defends the GWF Light Heavyweight Championship in a 2 out of 3 falls match against Jerry Lynn. http://network.wwe.com/video/v1222055983/?contentId=&contextType=wwe-show&contextId=wwe_hidden_gems

The post doesn't even make any sense, because the context of both pictures is completely different. One is clearly a casual group shot taken backstage during the show where they're all in their gear and gimmicks and the other is from a fucking press conference where they're all dressed up.

ROH really is a sinking ship. It's kinda sad to see.

To me: Character: Dibiase Wrestler: Rude But it's so damn close in both categories that I can't pick an overall winner between the two.

I really doubt they're bringing Baby Doll in. She probably looks like Grandma Doll at this point. If Cody is going to counter Tully with anyone, it will be Arn IMO.

The geek Seth-DX segment on RAW was reportedly supposed to be for Ricochet, apparently according to the Meltz, but he couldn't get cleared because of an elbow infection. https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2019/7/23/20707264/ricochet-not-cleared-raw-reunion-seth-rollins-replaced-oc-dx Yeah, assuming you were who I debated this with last week, I was thinking of you this week when he said that. I'd guess it's probably more of Vince speaking through Ziggler though. Either way, it's a bad look. Only one of them between Goldberg and Ziggler is a real star, and it isn't Ziggler.

Damn, they've actually made me care about a Randy Orton feud.

Dolph and HBK dropping truth bombs on each other.

Holy shit at that Seth pic. I actually feel bad for him.

One of the greatest champions of the modern era wasn't used at all on RAW.

Did Sid have softball?

I feel the same way. You can't turn back the clock, and this show proves it.

Mark Henry and Booker T look thrilled to be in the background while Racistmania runs wild, BROTHER!

Did Graves really say this?

Nattie honestly deserves to win the title. She's carrying Becky on promos right now.

Melina was barely used tonight. Disappointing.

This talk about their bodies is breaking down is something I've only heard here. I don't think they'd go back to Japan, or should, but I'm sure they're looking at that AEW grass as just as little bit greener right about now.
