Dwayne stealing a gimmick title from Muhammad Ali's widow so that he, too, had something to hold up to close the show is so much funnier than folks gave it credit for.
Me, watching Pentagon sit in the corner for seven minutes, no-sell Killer Kross' punches, then do a taunt-off with Jey Uso in the 2025 Royal Rumble Match
I still can't believe that a younger, fairly popular guy laughed in Triple H's face like "The fuck are *you* gonna do?" and Paul backed down like a punk bitch.
Twenty+ years of programming have led me to believe this would never happen.
According to the Internet, WWE Raw Homecoming was 17 years ago today.
Its highlight was one of the loudest, most intense crowd reactions I've experienced at ANY event when Kevin Von Erich put The Claw on the future NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Rob Conway, in Dallas.
"I think it's important that the title not go to Cody (Rhodes) because I think what Cody is going through in this series Brock Lesnar is giving him the credential, so that when he does — everyone will feel like he deserved it,"

It has become pretty clear that the funniest thing to happen during my lifetime is/was Dwayne The Rock Johnson recording his endorsement of Joe Biden and contribution to Ken Shamrock's TNA Hall of Fame induction back-to-back.
Steve Austin unexpectedly showing up at One Night Stand 2005 and getting the *Jesus returned to Earth pop* while wearing a faded Las Vegas Outlaws jersey (again, 2005) is arguably his coolest moment.
The idea that Dwayne was on the verge of becoming a major movie star but couldn't shake that he never beat Stone Cold at WrestleMania thus couldn't leave wrestling behind until he did is a shoot pinnacle piece of business.
A WWE source close to NXT this morning said tonight will be “a very clear example of how and why WWE is WWE, and why AEW has a long way to go.”

Does anyone have that clip from one of the Best Friend shows where Dustin is reading fan questions and asks Colt "How's the CM Punk thing going?" and Orange Cassidy completely loses it?
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, WH-OA! Kazuchika O-kada! The Rock's been watching you. Oh, yeah. The Rock knows ALL about The Rain-makah, baby! But, let The Rock ask you this... Does The Rainmaker like... Pie?"
Kevin Sullivan, the AEW Vice President of Post Production was let go by the company today.
There are a lot of questions going around regarding what happened past the feeling that the original AEW has changed greatly.

OH MY GOD I never knew Terry took a Stunner. It is not often I watch 20-year-old wrestling and shout "WHAT?!" genuinely.
Also, Steve doing the Road Warriors double-clothesline spot is incredible and I wish it had happened more.
Took me a few years of searching, but I finally added this one to the collection.
Not exactly sure why, but for years the US Blu-ray release of this had a ridiculous resale price. Found it for $16 on eBay and immediately pulled the trigger.
WrestleMania 32 is the most offensive pay-per-view broadcast the WWF has ever done and they once shoveled a shoot dead guy out of the ring for a Val Venis match
Nothing in Pro Wrestling since ECW has perpetuated an *Us Vs. Them* ideology more than Being the Elite.
Wrestling fans are dumb and weird, and the point is right, but Kenny might as well be wearing a hot dog suit when saying this.
This and the fallout was unbelievably funny. They even had Kyle cut the "I will be a fighting champion!" promo.
He didn't re-sign and dropped the belt in Japan in one of the most lifeless matches you will ever see.
WWE restructured their entire wellness policy multiple times so he didn't have to be fired. I personally don't feel "criminally overlooked" is the proper phrase.
New Line hosting a weigh-in in Las Vegas for Freddy Vs. Jason with both actors in full makeup and character is one of the finer pieces of marketing in cinema history.
Chris Jericho has revealed that he is not interested in wrestling Adam Copeland, or Christian Cage, in AEW. Instead, he said he would rather work with names like Swerve Strickland or Mark Briscoe.

As one of the three biggest Buddy Murphy fans in the world, I can comfortably say that spending your own money to finance a video of you being released from prison that's supposed to be an allegory for you leaving your employer only to go back to said employer is a god-tier own.
People have already called this out, but Rollins being the "I love WWE!" guy and the fans still choosing the other guy (Cody, PepsiMan) is a pretty perfect encapsulation of his Main Event run.
Yowie wowie! that’s your dance!? 🙀 I was doing that to mock Asuka. (a bad ass champ. FYI) .... But... I mean hey, lemme know if u need help choreographing your next video... I also throw temper tantrums in pigtails if u wanna use that too. 👍🏻😉
In the past two weeks, *Can't Miss Prospect* Bron Breakker has been pinned by Baron Corbin and punked by a 58-year-old man with rubberband balls for knees.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels would have had lives ruined if this was proposed to them in their primes.
Yes, Bray Wyatt sucks, but hear me out...
We combine Brock-Omos and Lasher-Bray and, that's right, we bring back the Monster's Ball.
Twenty four hours. No food, no water, no light. Then, we turn 'em loose!
CM Punk was an Independent Darling that became the World Wrestling Federation Champion (and held it for over a year) with the same name and act he had before signing.
This was quite literally a groundbreaking DIY achievement in the field.
