RevPro is currently dealing with growing backlash following an incident at their recent Summer Sizzler event. A wrestler legit beat up a ref after the finals of their tag tournament match due to it ending in a botched pin. Instead of handling the problem right away, RevPro tried to sweep it under the rug only for that plan to backfire badly.

Then RevPro got called out for lying about what happened despite videos debunking their claims. Also still seem to be unwilling to help the ref who's career and soccer ref career is now in serious doubt due to the injuries he suffered.

To make things even worse, once RevPro managed to actually fire the wrestler repoinsible for the mess, the wrestler posted DMs from the owner/booker showing that he knew all along about what really happened and was pissed at the ref for going public. Also showed that the apology given was insincere.

Think the “IG” is for Instagram. Maybe just “Rusev” was taken?

Jim Ross shares an interesting anecdote about CM Punk’s rear end.

On a recent episode of Grilling JR, the AEW announcer mentioned how there was a perception by some about Punk’s body during his time in WWE. While most people inside the company didn’t really have much of an opinion on Punk and his body, some weren’t exactly a fan of how his body looked, according to Ross. In his view, Ross thought such opinions were not really valid given that he was blossoming into one of the company’s top stars during Punk’s time there.

“Only a few guys thought his body was not good. I remember someone saying his ass is too big and it’s too soft. It’s like, wait a minute, what are we doing here? The crowd is telling you that this guy’s over. Our job is to put an ass in every seat in the stands,” Ross said.

When podcast co-host Conrad Thompson asked Ross who actually thought Punk had a “soft ass,” Ross revealed that it was Triple H who said it.

“Hunter [said that remark]. It was all about how you looked in a workout or in an 8” x 10.” He’s not going to look the same because he is not the same. If all you’re going to do is put out androids that all look alike, then what do you got? You got no individually. I think the consensus was that he may not be in great shape because he is soft. I thought his softness, as far as his ass was concerned, was a non-issue in my view. The perception was that he had an oversized, soft ass, silly as it sounds. It doesn’t make any sense.But he fought through that bullshit and became the star that he was,” Ross said.

Yes since it started off as being a part of RAW due to the division being drafted there when the current Brand Split Era started.

Then the division got its own show meant to be a supplement to RAW but eventually became its own brand due to Vince's neglect.
