Yes

The ECW invasion of Raw was 22 years ago today. God damn I'm old. I still absolutely remember that day because I came home from school with a nasty stomach virus and remember waking up to see ECW on wwf tv and wondering if I was delirious

Reading all this stuff about Balor and last I saw his merch sells pretty well you can def. make the argument he has been underpushed for quite awhile. They seem to be finally utilizing him better now

Rock is scheduled in Atlanta tonight for a screening of "Fighting with My Family". Raw is in same city on Monday

Gargano v Sheamus, Richochet and Black v Nak and Rusev and contract signing with Kofi and D Bry announced for SD

Also have the think this is getting back at Conrad for booking Taker

2013 or so

Apparently he's starting on the creative team this week. Steph no longer on creative so makes sense

Wwe rehired Bruce Prichard acccording to PWI!?!? Holy fuck

how long did Jim Ross have booking power in early 95 WWF? I don't think he even made it past January did he?

Roman's personal trainer on instagram posted that he and Roman have been training for Roman's in ring return apparently in a couple months

interesting point brought up by John Pollock in his update today about Roman returning:

WWE has released Arn Anderson according to pro wrestling sheet. Four days before Flair's birthday bash!?!?! Some shit is going down backstage

SD rating was highest since November. Big 4 callups gonna get pushed strong

yeah that's what I was referencing. At the time it was reported Edge was being pushed because the company considered him good looking but all his detractors were like "but he's ugly!" It was def. a thing on the net at the time. I can remember "his hair makes him seem better looking than he really is" and "his teeth look horrible" being common talking points

for anyone on the net in the early 2000s do you remember the "Is Edge good looking?" debate that seemingly went on forever? It never, ever ended

Todd Phillips is a big wrestling fan so I'd wager he knows more truth about Hogan than potentially others but this should be hilarious. Also with Bradley Cooper producing this will get a ton of attention

oh and...

According to Sean Ross Sapp Charlotte and Andrade are dating

also Dave says there is still no set mania card this late in the season. I can't imagine a time this late when they didn't have a mania card planned. Sounds like a lot of chaotic shit going on backstage

Some stuff from Dave on WOR once again reiterated that Lacey is in for a huge push. Even comparing it to Roman. Company loves her background and think she has mainstream appeal. Post mania if Ronda leaves top women will be Becky, Charlotte and Lacey. Raw was originally going to be written around Seth but he hasn't been cleared. Ronda was originally going to squash Alexa but they needed a competitive, good match to fill time ( no Seth) so Ruby was picked again. NXT call ups were Vince's call as he believes Raw's ratings are down due to lack of star power and rest of Raw roster is too damaged. NXT guys in line for big pushes to create stars. Richochet was supposed to wrestle Balor but HHH didn't think Richochet should lose too soon and didn't want face v face

Orton and Bryan being on the same team is kinda surreal even 5 years after their program

Holy crap at that Jussie Smollett reference by Big E. The crowd "oooohhh'd at that

My God Ciampa just completely fucked up his leg didn't he? That can't be good

According to John Pollock the NXT guys will be at SD
