my birthday is on the 16th. Of course I wouldn't expect anything too huge but if you would like to throw me a little bundle of happiness, here are some links:
If you aren’t watching, this match has featured Kenny hitting the GTS pose, Kenny biting an arm, Matt Jackson mocking that CM Punk couldn’t hit the buckshot, and them leading a fuck CM Punk chant
The vignette appeared to have references to Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, and Jeff Hardy.
I saw a gold medal, a Texas license plate that read Latino Heat, and what looked like Jeff Hardy‘s arm bands.
Looks *to me* like Edge is taking a look at his past to get to his future.
AEW filed a trademark for the term Paragon on 1/3/22. Kyle O'Reilly used that term to state the potential that he, Adam Cole, and Bobby Fish, the former Undisputed ERA in NXT, would have if they were aligned again in AEW.
Check out the logo:
WWE is still advertising John Cena and Sasha Banks along with key Raw players like Charlotte Flair, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre for Friday's Super SmackDown from Madison Square Garden

Omega and the Young Bucks saying "75% of their roster is from WWE." "Kenny says that means that they all failed at a real sport at some point in their life so they decided to join a wrestling league."

, I hope this post finds you well. I know you're an increasingly busy individual, but I wanted to reach out and ask if you were aware that your extended family is imploding and your daughter seems to be in a cult.
I apologize if any of this is news to you.
Stay strong.
Credit to Tony Khan for taking a very objective look at the recent “budget cuts” made by WWE. He gives a very straightforward perspective while also talking about why somebody like him coming along in the industry was inevitable.

Wish WWE would publicly announce that they let go of Jeff Hardy. Some kids go to WWE events just to see him. Announce that you’ve let him go, instead of passing on the bad news to others to share, never confirming, and denying the credibility of these outlets when it suits you.

Triple H with Michael Cole on the first day of pandemic programming was one of the most enjoyable experiences on WWE programming throughout the entire pandemic era.
Also, I very much agree with Sean, I hope she has an injury that allows her to continue to be on TV
I love FTR and I love The Midnight Express. I meant no harm with the headline. I understand that I unintentionally upset Dax (I haven't read the tweet. I can't. Please respect that.) I apologize.
I love seeing Sasha Banks name-dropped as a star by the last megastar WWE produced. So cool to see her getting her flowers. While we're at it, it's great to see Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns take their rightful place at the top. (via

I really enjoyed listening to
@BellaTwins
podcast this week. Much respect to Nikki for going into all of this as best she could and giving a very relatable answer. We’re all human, she just happens to be living her life in front of the entire world.
Tony Khan says, just for CM Punk, bought the entire country’s supply of ringer t-shirts.
Khan also says that CM Punk was very kind and giving advice to other wrestlers backstage.

You know what sucks? Sean works his ass off on exclusive reports that usually end up on Reddit or on one of these engagement accounts within two minutes of it being on select.
I have seen full articles+transcriptions of mine copy and pasted into Facebook groups.

You think you know them?
Adam Copeland, Dax Harwood, and Cash Wheeler have each applied for a trademark on "Rated FTR"
What trios matches do you wanna see them have if they team in AEW?
Rated FTR vs. Elite is a MUST for me.
Fightful is one of the biggest wrestling sites going today and
@SeanRossSapp
trusted me with much this crazy weekend. So glad to be a part of it.
@KateOnDeckIC
is FUN.
@Guzzomatic
absolutely rocked it alongside me and perhaps most of all, so glad
@jeremylambert88
got to HAVE FUN!
In my opinion, Deonna Purrazzo is the best all-around female wrestler not signed to WWE or AEW. Leyla Hirsch is every bit as legit as she says. Really fun show.

My take on "What?" chants:
They're dumb, they’re disrespectful, they add to the issues of the show. To an outsider, it says wow this product is boring and their fans are a bunch of clowns who make it more annoying and don’t give a shit.

In a lot of ways, he’s a modern American Dream. He’s a foreigner who came to this country, made something of himself through ridiculous hard work, married a ridiculously hot Hollywood blonde, and literally credits all of it to Jesus Christ. He’s living the American dream.
So, I rarely talk about working with
@SeanRossSapp
but It’s really cool to get a phone call from your brother and have him talk about how the guy you work and do a podcast with is mentioned literally everywhere.
He's the man. Fightful is the best.

Did I really buy a banana shirt because I heard that I was going to be working with Pineapple Pete (

The Lucha Brothers say they love wrestling and it's saved their life and it's what they love doing and they're looking forward to being Champions and always getting better.
Hard To Kill feels like the biggest moment in TNA/IMPACT history since The Final Deletion (?) and they were able to build so much hype just by using social media. I think that that should be commended.
I’ve basically been checking in on everybody since I woke up this morning. Depression is real. Everything we’re all going through is real. She was loved. Rest in peace

Apparently, WWE Network original series Camp WWE is returning. Actress Kate Micucci is credited as voicing Sasha Banks in 2022 on her IMDb page. The episode she is credited for, Hotel Camp, also references Rhea Ripley and credits Jessica DiCicco with voicing Becky Lynch.
This. Everybody is way too wrapped at the in trying to tether everybody to every word they've ever spoken. Fact of the matter is things change. Feelings change. Circumstances change. Perspectives change. Knowing you have to pay bills? Unwavering.
Watch his 2002 run with Nidia (whom Sean did a fabulous interview with). One of the last to really understand how to be used in a role that is meant to be on the undercard and truly make the most of the undercard.
Jamie Noble posted on IG that he has what will likely be his last match on December 11 at the Charleston Civic Center for WWE
Noble last wrestled in 2015 as J&J Security, but he hasn't wrestled full time since 2009.
He had some incredible matches in ROH you all should see
If you were going to do a Hardcore match without any weapons, your first time using label in 10 years, don't call it a tribute to Terry Funk. You were better off calling this a Terry Funk Texas Tornado Tag Team Match.
