Serena Deeb
Deeb is a really talented wrestler rather obviously. But was plagued with sobriety and concussion issues sadly. As a pure fan, her 2010-2011 run in SHIMMER is up there with James Gibson's ROH as majestic but all too brief run. I'd save my energy/candidacy for Madison Eagles personally. Serena would probably tell you the same thing. As most women who have wrestled her.

WWE TV 05/31 - 06/06 Chelsea won
Meltzer on the F4W board yesterday said as of this week at least Lashley/Lesnar isn't the plan for Summerslam.

WWE TV 05/31 - 06/06 Chelsea won
Filming Star Wars Mandalorian season 3 I believe. Relatively top secret stuff to my understanding - no selfies on set, not giving away locations etc.

AEW Double or Nothing 2021
Just hope the show is kept at an acceptable length and the main event's finish isn't a negative trending topic. Otherwise here to just enjoy myself.

Tessa to AEW or WWE simply isn't happening.

MLW Fusion, anyone watching it?
MLW's presentation tends to lack energy and infamously is the promotion where "good matches go to die" so I welcome Davey's bursting out of his skin lunatic energy.

I've been talking about it since January 2020. The name I always heard is CM Punk for the record.

Is the empire crumbling before our eyes?
Invoking Benoit can be seen as extreme and cheap but Drake is someone who has undergone a massive personality change and thinks someone/something is coming for (his) children. WWE is tempting fate the longer this continues.

AEW Dynamite - May 12, 2021
Why the Cody promo was forced and shoe-horned feeling because it was. He has to show he intends to use the "The American Dream" trademark before being granted it. https://heelbynature.com/all-elite-wrestling/cody-rhodes-abandons-the-american-dream-trademark/

AEW Dark Megathread
You are not the only one to spot that is all I'll say. Also, Shanna is RT-ing "we miss you" fan comments this week.

AEW Dark Megathread
They see action figures in Abadon big time. She came from a lot a podunk indie scene with very little experience and who trained her really fucked her over. Also, her conditioning was really, really poor. She would turn distressing colors and hyperventilate after short bouts of activity. There was also an incident in October for a match taped and scrapped for Dynamite against Tay Conti when Tay elbowed her in the throat. Which lead to the match being stopped and her being hospitalised as had issues with getting her breath back. She then took some time off to correct things. I guess they are now rewarding her for doing so.

WWE TV 05/03 - 05/09 Big Roman made little Bryan humble.
The video was a bimbo and her himbo husband talking about it in a very boring and incoherent rambling manner. It was posted a good while after the initial media flurry. Seemed like a reactive move when they saw other accounts were getting huge views about it.

WWE TV 04/26 - 05/02 Roman Reigns fans are the smartest in the world
A report from PWInsider from just this week that might clear things up. Yes, Heyman is very much involved with Roman's Creative. But also is Michael Hayes:

His back is shot. 1993 Rick Rude has been my comparison point. The quality of his strikes massively went south in particular. I am aware of a pandemic era match last year that had to be reshot as he wasn't himself so to speak.

Is the empire crumbling before our eyes?
It has been 18 weeks since Dream has appeared on camera on NXT. There's a dispiriting (of a positive standing!) update on his status that will possibly be reported in the coming days.

Becky Lynch
I've only actively liked about a solid half dozen of her main roster matches. In-ring wise her comebacks and babyface fire are good stuff in routine matches but that's it. I know her back and hips are pretty shot. At the Wrestlemania 34 (2018) afterparty she was telling people she was planning to take significant time off. But she didn't ultimately and then at Summerslam turned on Charlotte and was off the races career wise since.

Where's the evidence? She didn't move PPV, TV ratings or attendance? Rich Swann outshined her in that gauntlet they did.
-
All Elite Wrestling
There's other non-public footage of her doing damning things. Friends and former/lapsed friends aren't vindictive, don't want to post it and pile on. But they still retain it.

All Elite Wrestling
She was training with those people years before the IMPACT debacle. Yes, it is immaterial. I get it you like her and stuff but the real World exists. And is rapidly advancing. Women's Wrestling most of all.
-
All Elite Wrestling
Her relationship with them is nothing new (goes back 6 years or so) and partially stems from Tessa dating Ricochet and his friends and roommates - Tozawa, Kalisto, Crews etc being part of Sasha's clique. Totally immaterial to anything.

All Elite Wrestling
As she throws tantrums and fights backstage and occasionally in the ring. Hates losing on TV or losing to women at all. NXT and AEW's locker rooms don't want to work with her. A lot of talent will actually walk. She pissed off everyone in NXT with any decision making power individually in individual situations. And I know know Tony Khan put his foot down. Women's Wrestling has passed her by. I don't see why AEW or NXT NEED her as Rhea, Raquel and Cargill now exist. She good but not that good and her run as Champion on IMPACT didn't draw. AEW just let go of a similar narcissistic headcase in Ivelisse. Why add another?

All Elite Wrestling
Both false stories. She crossed the border several times during COVID. I always remember a few months ago WrestlingInc reporting that garbage while Tessa was conducting a signing in New York.

Again you only bring Johnny Ace back to talent relations to cut people really.

Sorry to quote myself but this has materialised. Billie Kay and Mickie James gone

Not really that more they made cuts last year, they do actually have a surplus of wrestlers and you bring in a Johnny Ace to an axeman.
