It was real to me, dammit. And I was high as a mahfuck.

I’m going to go back and watch a bunch of Elix Skipper, I think. The guy was hot shit for a couple of years there and then just kind of…disappeared.

I just read that his 22 yr old son was killed by a gunman in his own house in 2009. Something like that might get a guy’s head out of wrestling. He’s way older than I thought he would be too (he’s 55 this year).

He was actually trained by the Power Plant too. He’d have to be the best actual wrestler they trained, right?

He manages several restaurants now. Got out on his own terms and ended up pretty successful.

Good for him. Love hearing stories about wrestlers doing well for themselves outside wrestling.

If Sha Samuels ever made it over to NXT or main roster they would play on his Iranian heritage and have him job to Mansoor in Saudi.

Interested the most with NXT UK to see how this Moustache Mountain angle plays out. Trent using heel tactics to win and his off the cuff comments in interviews which unsettles Bate is fun to watch, especially as it’s a slow build up. Either they end up feuding or Bate goes full heel with Trent.

Would be fun to see them come over to the main roster with the Sheamus stable.

I like Tyler Bate a bit. Never been sold on Trent Seven.

I’ve always liked the “one tag team partner is a heel but the face sees the good in them” direction though.

Could potentially be the way they are going with it and we see Bate move over to NXT, he is still very young. I agree with you though, I do like dynamics of the tag team at the moment though.

There’s a ready made stable in British Strong Style but I don’t see them putting all three together on the main roster or if they did pushing them much at all. (Even though I’d love too see it).

Bate is lacking size. He’s very good and has a good look despite that. There are definitely people he can work with, and given how good a face he is, Vince might see something endearing about him.

I’m a big fan of Bate, a bit less of a fan of Moustache Mountain, but only a bit less. 0 interest in either of them in NXT 2.0, feels like the ship has sailed for a lengthy run there when the multi-colour paint job was done. They’ve a lower ceiling on the main roster and probably best off as a tag.

Welp the cops went and picked up Sunny for the car accident back in March. She going to jail forever.

From what I can make out, it doesn’t sound like a health thing, but a “new phase of my career” type thing. Less dates, movie roles, etc.

Could be a cute way of making him a babyface too.

Surely they don’t want to make him a babyface before giving someone the rub of beating him for the title(s).

Sunny's Police Report out, she had a .28 blood alcohol level, 3 and a half times over legal limit. She is done for.

good riddance

Sunny should have been done for years ago. I don't understand how you can get that many DUIs before they throw you under the jail.

I’m surprised they had this information and it’s taken them this long to act on it.

It was only a matter of time...

Rumors floating that Ronda broke Charlotte's radius in her forearm. Also see a lot of comments about how this is obviously just a storyline write off for Charlotte to go get married, but that seems unneeded after an I quit match. Guess we'll see if it's legit in the coming days.

Didn't realize it was already announced by WWE. Def storyline for write off purposes.

And that’s if they buy up the tickets themselves.

Well he hasn't wrestled any place where he's been seen for 6 years

More than likely Jimmy Smith has never heard of AEW and truly believes what he said. He is quite ignorant to a lot of obvious things.

I like how the clip cuts out right before Corey Graves corrected Jimmy Smith, because gotta FEDBAD!

What was wrong about what he said though? He said he was away from WWE for 6 years and that was his first match since hes been back. was that not accurate?

Yep, it’s accurate. I guess people are getting upset at Smith’s “ring rust” line. But that can easily be taken to mean Cody hasn’t competed at that level in 6 years. Which is also a fair call, but doesn’t quite fit the paradigm that Cody is “READY TO GO!!!” It’s far from the world’s most egregious call. This is Fedbad bullshit.

Yeah I don't think that was meant as a shot to ignore the existence of AEW...just blown out of proportion to push an agenda much like everything else in the world these days

Would you please stop trying to push your “everything else in the world has an agenda” agenda, pls?

lol why would they pay Cody a fatass new contract and treat him like a huge star if he's supposedly not really done anything of note since he left the company as a worthless mid-carder? Real sports commentators don't do that shit and it's idiotic.

Had my mind blown earlier today after discovering what the Intercontinental Title belt looks like now. Seriously, can anyone remember the last significant thing done surrounding that championship?

He was Stardust last time they saw him. lol

The part about ring rust is what makes that Cody clip stupid. They could’ve just said he hasn’t been in WWE in 6 years and now he’s gotta adjust to a different roster. Implying he’s rusty as if he’s not wrestled in over half a decade is what makes that commentary lousy.

Also that Braun clip is so fucking bad lol.

Alexa looks different, I wonder what she had done

It was used to set up Sami Zayn vs. Johnny Knoxville and to put shine on Nakamura for a few months before that. Before that it was on Apollo Crews, who was a rising heel at the time. Before that it was on Big E, who would win the WWE Title later that year.

W/E Alexa did she looks good, a reverse situation of every time of Charlotte Flair looks different

She had nasal surgery for health reasons, that must be it

So, Ted DiBiase and his sons, QB Brett Favre and others are named in a lawsuit filed by the state of Mississippi to recoup mis-spent welfare funds. I guess the gist of it is that they all got money they weren't supposed to. ESPN got the article here if you want a read.

Definitely not Schiavone. Probably no one noteworthy.

Venom is Paul Diamond

Uhhh, Punk…your moment in the sun was over a decade ago.

Fascinated by this time in Shawn Michaels’ life. He must have really liked Diamond to come out and do something with him. Physically he was good to go pretty early, but mentally he was sorting some shit out (or just waiting on his WWF/E contract).

He and Diamond tagged in Texas All Star when they were first breaking in and later crossed paths in AWA, possibly Memphis and the WWF so the two go way back. It's too bad Diamond couldn't keep his shit together. He was really good

Yeah I figured since he was in WCW at this time but you gotta admit the voice is pretty similar.

I can KINDA hear it a little bit when he says “through the table”.

PWInsider has broken the story Roman Reigns is taking most of the summer off. His last show will be June 19th and then he will be taking the rest of June, July and August off.

Good thing WWE didn't just build everything around Brock and Roman...oh wait.

wonder what crappy movie he will be in.

Hmmm. Interesting. Not gonna be at MITB or SummerSlam?

I have to think they’ll get a SummerSlam match out of him at least. If they can’t pull priority for a SummerSlam match, that’s trouble.

Apparently he’s still “advertised” for the 2 PLEs. For what that’s worth.

Yeah I would imagine he would return at the end of August for SummerSlam or maybe a "surprise" return at SummerSlam(?)

SummerSlam is in July this year

MITB - July 2nd
SummerSlam - July 30th

He might do the PLEs w/o working tv, they could work that into his gimmick I suppose

That's terrible.

lol they have built no stars beyond Reigns and Lesnar so this should be an interesting summer.

They didn’t even build Lesnar. UFC built Lesnar and they jobbed him to a ton of guys hoping someone else’s work would rub off.

lesnar was a draw in the ufc because of his wwf run. be fair.

The Mrs. rattled off Drew, Edge, and Seth when I mentioned there being no stars. I like all of those guys but can they carry the company for three months at this point?

(She said "maybe not, but who else is there to really use?")

Yes if he was some unknown who just started in UFC without his first wwe run, I think it would have been a tremendous difference and I also believe he would only be half as well known as he is today.

Lesnar got his SPOT in UFC in large part because of his WWE run. You can’t argue that his UFC career didn’t lead to him coming back a MUCH bigger star than when he left.

I agree with this as well but I still don't think he would be as well known. Considering a large portion of people watched him in UFC because they were wrestling fans and a good amount of wrestling fans during his first run no longer watch wrestling as well. I'm not saying he still wouldn't be popular or a star but you are subtracting a pretty big demographic there

So I would say he would be about 2/3 of a draw as he is now imo

I’m not doubting that his WWE run didn’t play a large part in his ability to become a star in UFC. A LOT of people knew Brock from WWE and tuned in to see what he could do. Hell, a lot less people watched when Punk was on top and him having a name in a mainstream field earned HIM a couple UFC PPV paydays. AND HE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A LEGIT BACKGROUND.

But Brock is clearly an example of WWE letting a guy go to another field where he can actually become a star and then backing up the Brinks truck to bring him back and reap the benefits.

If I member correctly, Lesnar left as a mega star to join the NFL, then lost a lot of luster when he crapped out with the Vikings, then had a lot of skeptics about joining UFC, then won a bunch of credibility and star power back when it turned out he was still legit. I think a lot of people forget that it was 4 years between his last WWF match and 1st UFC fight.

Holy shit his stint with the Vikings completely slipped my mind lmao at least he was the last one cut from the practice squad (I think? can anyone confirm this as true or false?)

Lesnar main evented Wrestlemania before he left.
Lesnar got a shot with the Vikings because he is a freak athlete. He had not played football since high school, and made it to the final cut day.
Lesnar won his first MMA match in a small promotion.
Lesnar got his shot in the UFC because he was a Division 1 National Champion in wrestling, not because he was in WWE.
Lesnar's UFC career was derailed after 2 occurrences of Diverticulitis.
Lesnar's UFC career got him the WWE deal he always wanted, a ton of money for a few dates a year.

Rumors:

These are… all accurate points…

And people definitely forget he was IWGP champion between the NFL and UFC

WWE will be fine without Brock or Reigns (although I’m not sure they’re going to be without either of them, but anywho). There’s more parity between the rest of the card, so they can let them do their thing and fight over the belt(s) for a while. Reigns and/or Brock will come back fresher.

Same as AJ Styles maggle!

I guess everywhere is reporting that Roman is going to be taking 2-3 months off starting in June, per Meltzer. Hmmmm.

Perfect opportunity for AEW to take the lead! Woooo!

Other reports are saying he signed a new deal to work way less dates. Basically will only be on TV and PPVs. Hope that is the case and it isn't something with his health again.

@fan brocks buy rates were high from day 1 in ufc. his star didnt grow there his credibility did. when he came back to the fed his brought with him people who had stopped watching while he was gone. he's not bringing over new fans from ufc. his wwf run bolstered the ufcs numbers with wwf fans. his post ufc wwf run bolstered wwfs numbers with lasped wwf fans.

If Reigns is gone from TV you can easily work it into storylines without him dropping the titles. Record a batch of backstage stuff of him reacting to whatever. Do LIVE via satellite stuff. Just have him be like, “you guys work it out among youselves, then I’ll beat you at [insert name of PLE here]” if you want him on those shows. If Brock is back and you want to set up that match again, have Roman “running scared”. Make him a hypocrite by claiming to carry the brand on his back while not actually being there.

This makes more sense if that promo he cut the other night was in a location/arena they don’t usually go to for TV.
