Rest in power Jon Huber AKA Brodie Lee/Luke Harper.
Rest in power Windham Rotunda AKA Bray Wyatt.
And for Rowan I hope you know we're with you right now as you lose another brother.
John Laurinaitis will die knowing that he never had any fucking talent and was lucky enough to share a ring with AJPW's finest. He'll die knowing that the entire industry thinks he's a fucking joke. He'll die knowing that now everybody knows what an evil piece of shit he is.
I'll never forget the Bryan and Vinny review of this episode and how hard they laughed at the idea of Brooke being demoted from prostitute to wrestler lmao.
Brooke Tessmacherโs road to becoming a 3-time World Champion began with Bischoff firing her as his assistant for, in his words, being a bitch whoโs also a whore.

Meltzer on the message boards saying Punks injury compounded by Lesnar being taken off the show was the reason for all of this lmao. They feel like they have to do this match now.
You're telling me that Stephanie McMahon, the woman who compared 9/11 to her father being indicted by the federal government on steroid distribution charges, might be morally reprehensible? I could have never seen this one coming.
Wrestling is a struggle. These two were fighting hard and fatigue set in but they still fought through it with clenched teeth. What is so hard to understand about that? Please find another hobby.
Charlie Dempsey in WWE is like the polar bear in Arlington Texas. What the fuck is he doing there? He's so much better served wrestling indies and Japan.
Danielson still looks up to Vince btw. He said positive things about him after the first round of allegations. I hate to have to point this out because Danielson is one of my favorites but we need to hold everyone accountable here, even the ones we like.
I love this rah rah AEW rules speech days removed from firing a guy who is injured and firing a guy who had to work a second job to support his family. Pro wrestling never changes.
@OliviaSmolivia
holy shit lmao I didn't expect this at all. I was just playing season mode today and my CAW got framed and arrested and Vince issued this statement and I thought it was too good not to share
@tapemachines
The story of Roxanne overcoming anxiety is good and something people can relate to. The problem is the execution here was not good at all.
Nick Hausman being the only person to ask the question about Vince is fucking dire. Nick Hausman. This asshole is making everybody else look like dipshits.
Fat WALTER was one of the best to ever do this. Gunther is great but my god when he was WALTER and he was sitting at 300 lbs, very few were on his level.
Empty words. He still allowed Vince to be on the TKO board after the initial allegations. Also, WWE still does shows in Saudi Arabia and UFC is also trying to get into Saudi as well.
One source noted that if Ari Emanuel was willing to walk away from Saudi Arabia investments years ago without "blinking an eye", heโll have no problem "removingย anything and anyone still remaining" that could potentially hurt or impact WWE's business going forward.ย ย

Matt Riddle has done shit that should land him in jail yet every major wrestling pundit from Meltzer to SRS turns a blind eye. The speaking out movement was a start but Christ do we have a long way to go.
Covering up sex crimes is still evil and also illegal. Nick Khan may not have been an active participant but he knew enough to try to keep it from leaking out to the public. A complete scumbag. Dwayne's association with him will harm Dwayne's image too.
Basically everyone has a โJohn Lennon beat his wifeโ style fact that they cant stop themselves from sharing if anything even tangentially related comes up in conversation
This is the best possible outcome for AEW. Shit like this is why AEW was born in the first place. WWE sucking for so long and telling their fans to fuck off allowed AEW to exist. AEW should take advantage of this. Perhaps we'll see another boom period for them.
his WWE run was a necessary component to him being the greatest of all time. He got over in spite of the company not wanting to get behind him. He had classic matches within the confines of restrictive WWE style. His run in WWE was important whether you want to admit it or not.
As we approach 10 years since WM 30, we should all be retroactively angry that Danielson wasted so many years in WWE wrestling in a way that was completely and utterly beneath him
@IANdrewDiceClay
If you've watched even one episode of Hogan Knows Best on VH1, you'd know she needed to get the fuck away from these monsters. Hulk and Linda would say she was getting too fat and she needed to diet if she wanted to be a pop star. Wretched human beings. She was the normal one.
The fact that people are now just learning that Progress, ICW, wXw, and Evolve are on Peacock/WWE Network shows you that nobody was watching that shit lmao.
Bodyslam has confirmed with multiple sources that Callihan is backstage at tonightโs AEW Collision in Memphis, Tennessee.
While asking around about the purpose of Callihanโs visit, it was said that Callihan is there to discuss both a deal to work as an on-screen talent and
@BretHartMallCop
I have no memory of this match except for this one spot. It might not be fair to judge an entire match on one bad spot but I just couldn't get past how bad this spot is. Like I know they could do better lmao. Perhaps if it wasn't in super slow motion.
One thing we need to just get rid of collectively is labelling a wrestler "ex-WWE" like that should define their entire career. Some of the people here had better runs before they went to WWE and after they left WWE. Some people here were in WWE for a cup of coffee (look at Taya)
People more angry at a stupid booking decision and sending literal death threats to The Rock's daughter than Vince McMahon getting away with sex crimes for 40 plus years, wrestling fans deserve nothing.
WWE is so fucking hot they could do a whole fucking TV show with no wrestling and get away with it and people would defend it to their dying breaths. Being number one lets you get away with so much more.
I find it kinda funny that Cornette hates deathmatch wrestling but one of the most gory spots in the history of the business happened in his promotion.
I could be watching a Bryan Danielson masterclass right now but instead I'm watching one of the worst skills challenges in NBA All Star Weekend history.
The silence from the WWE locker room in regards to Janel Grant isn't surprising at all but the silence from the majority of wrestlers from other companies like AEW and TNA is sad. Maria Kanellis was like the only one I saw say anything.
Sports Entertainment is the perfect term to describe the art of professional wrestling. Lot of folks only turn their noses at it because they associate the term with an ideological war they engage in online that doesn't really matter.
