Now this made me laugh

Apparently WWE's Twitch and third party services ban might have actually cost them the chance to keep Adam Cole.

According to Fightful, Cole wasn't willing to drop his Twitch channel because of Vince's ban and made it a non-negotiable term for any new deal with WWE. That made it a lot harder for WWE to have any leverage over it during talks since that would have opened a big can of worms had they caved into Cole's demands.

Such a stupid reason to lose a guy over, especially a guy they spent years building up.

Real Canadian Wrestling has apparently signed David Benoit. He appeared for them the other night and they have said he will be wrasslin for them in the future.

Why does WWE employ so many writers? Does Vince have some kind of contractual obligation with the Writer's Guild for the non wrestling errr sports entertainment part of the business (movies, reality tv) ?

Horrible idea. :nono: He's obviously and extremely lost soul.

I disagree...give the guy a chance. He's not his daddy and isn't concussed as fuck. I felt so bad for him watching that Vice special. He shouldn't use the last name, though.

It’s an awkward situation. Even without using the last name he’ll never shake the dark cloud his dad put over him.

If he can work, it would be easy enough to embrace the elephant in the room and build a positive story out of it. WWE would never do it because they’ve got PR tunnel vision but someone could.

Kane had a cape!

slik marking out

Yeah. I remember watching a fan video of him coming out with that. Good idea to ditch it. It seems like a small detail but imagine him debuting and ripping the cell door off the hinges with a fucking cape. Lol

I think i recall seeing the concept art of it a while ago, looks good on paper, not so much on the actual person.

NXT rebrand looks like it will have more screens around the PC and be more open

Sort of looks like a bigger or expanded setup WWE used for RAW & SD at the Performance Center early into the pandemic. The one NXT was using these past few months was basically a cramped version of the ThunderDome that just made the venue look even smaller than before.

Could see that replacing the ThunderDome if WWE has to go back to closed sets or being stuck at the PC again depending on how the coronavirus pandemic is this winter. If there was one big advantage AEW had over WWE during the pandemic era was them having their own big venue to hold shows and not having to be at the mercy of being stuck in a small gym or get kicked out of their residency due to sports.

Moxley is now GCW champion after defeating Cardona. Will be defending the title against Nick Gage on October 9th in a death match.

Could this be repayment for Nick Gage being on AEW?

That was a bit odd, though I doubt he "forgot" he was a heel. :wtf:

Glad Don West’s cancer is in remission.

I would love to be watching an AEW show, and all of a sudden you see Tony Khan all bloodied and beat up thrown onto the stage, then BAM here comes Motherfucking Triple F, Free From Family, and he just continues beating the holy hell out of creepy Tony with a sledgehammer.

It would be the biggest Mark Out in wrestling history.

Why is Tony creepy, Noid?

Weird how aged and shriveled Lex has morphed more and more into looking like Meltzer.

I liked Luger....that's not a fan favorite but w/e. Macho Man used and abused her and he's a legend.

Creepy

he seems to be eccentric and a very personal, "hands-on" type of fella. not sure if he can help coming across as creepy, though, given his general appearance, hah

I guess in 2021 hugs can certainly be creepy but I don't think all hugs between employer and employee are creepy, some of course are but I don't think that was creepy.

lmao I don't care what anyone says. This exchange is solid gold.

lol I know xrod can't read but goddamn

Anyone know how much peacock edited out of old smackdown episodes? I had started watching them all years ago but idk if I wanna jump back in if a bunch of good shit is missing.
