So that Omos vs Rollins match at Backlash really came out of nowhere.

They did it for the Omosapiens.

The Crown Prince of Puerto Rico wanted Omos vs Rollins, so they booked it.

I wonder if we’ll see Puerto Rican resident Logan Paul make an appearance? Omos as Logan’s bodyguard could be fun.

I’ll only be happy if we get some sort of mascot dancing in the background of Cody/Lesnar.

The mascot is Curtis Axel this time, leading to Brock forming a new faction with himself, Shelton, Axel and Gable Steveson. Death Clutch rules the WWE.

THIS WILL MAKE YOUR DAY

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Former WWE writer Britney Abrahams is suing the company and individual staff, alleging &quot;discriminatory treatment, harassment, hostile work environment, wrongful termination, unlawful retaliation against the Plaintiff due to her race, color, and gender&quot;<a href="https://t.co/K5kWxyrea4">https://t.co/K5kWxyrea4</a> <a href="https://t.co/gVAJg0i1FE">pic.twitter.com/gVAJg0i1FE</a></p>&mdash; Brandon Thurston (@BrandonThurston) <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonThurston/status/1651253724113772550?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 26, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

By way of example, according to the script, DUNN intended Ms. Belair, the said black female
WWE wrestler, to say, “Uh-Uh! Don't make me take off my earrings and beat your
ass!” which are lines based upon cruel, ugly stereotypes of dark-skinned, black women.

In conversation with Ms. Belair the following day, Ms. Belair informed Plaintiff that she told
DUNN “3 DIFFERENT TIMES THAT I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT LINE! BUT HE
NEVER LISTENS TO ME! HE PUTS THAT LINE IN EVERY WEEK.”
Ms. Belair said the script’s discriminatory line(s) made her look “ghetto.”

Following Plaintiff’s complaint, Defendants increased the intensity of their discriminatory
misconduct, including deliberately subjecting Plaintiff to a number of racist pitches.
By way of example, it was discussed in the WWE writer’s Slack channel before a show, that a new
wrestler, Reggie, would dress in drag complete with wig and tights, “so he could partner with
Carmella, a female wrestler, in a tag-team match against other female wrestlers.”

By way of another example, WWE forced wrestler Apollo Crews to speak with a Nigerian accent,
just because of his Nigerian lineage. Apollo Crews is a black, Nigerian-born male.
Plaintiff emailed CALLAHAN and complained about the offensive nature of the requirement for
Apollo Crews to speak with a stereotypical and exaggerated Nigerian accent.
However, despite Plaintiff’s complaint, CALLAHAN failed and/or refused to take corrective
action.
As a result, CALLAHAN and WWE forced Plaintiff to require Apollo Crews to speak with a
racially artificial Nigerian accent.
By way of another example, in or around the spring of 2021 CALLAHAN pitched that a white
Caucasian male wrestler with a “hunting” gimmick would hunt a black, male wrestler for fun.
In a nutshell, the said hunting gimmick pitch for new wrestlers, Shane Thorne, and Reggie was,
“since Shane is Australian, we should make him a crocodile hunter, and instead of crocodiles, he
hunts people.”
Subsequently, a storyline was pitched by CALLAHAN where Shane would capture Reggie and
constantly beat him up, but Reggie would always escape after being captured.

Holding Reggie captive in cages was also discussed.
Plaintiff found CALLAHAN’s pitch highly offensive and objectionable.
Plaintiff again objected to her superior’s racially motivated misconduct, specifically stating that a
gimmick where a white man hunting a black African American man for sport is racist.
CALLAHAN laughed and sarcastically responded, “OH, WHAT? IS THAT A BAD THING?”
CALLAHAN’s comments and conduct had the purpose and effect of humiliating and intimidating
Plaintiff, and dramatically altered her work environment for the worse.
As the WWE writing team’s sole person of color, Plaintiff was devastated that none of her white,
Caucasian co-workers stepped in to complain about this discriminatory and offensive pitch.
Afterwards, Plaintiff spoke with Mr. Parise, a white, Caucasian WWE writer, who revealed that
he agreed with Plaintiff that the pitch was racist, but he felt too nervous to speak up about it in front
of CALLAHAN.

There's more but I have a meeting I have to prepare for.

LOL that is awesome

Randomly watching Vengeance ‘03. It’s crazy how even back when WWE was terrible and on the decline, it was still way better than wrestling today.

* Show opens with a really cool video package. It’s Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Stephanie McMahon and Zack Gowen all talking about their hopes, dreams, etc. They’re the faces. It’s all contrasted against Vince McMahon’s desire for control.

* Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero open with a good match to decide the new US Title. I remember that belt being considered ugly. Clever how they worked it into the finish. They went a bit overboard with the sports entertainment, but it was funny when Eddie is trying to revive Mike Chiota but Chiota won’t stir. Cool to go back and watch the moments where Eddie was really starting to win people over. He’d be a face before long. I also like how Benoit and Eddie seemed to coordinate their attire.

* Stephanie McMahon was a HORRIBLE actress back then. Vince is amazing as a performer, but it’s weird seeing them do backstage segments and Vince be so much better.

* Jamie Noble and Billy Gunn have an “Indecent Proposal” match. If Noble beats Gunn, Torrie Wilson is going to have sex with him on SmackDown. This doesn’t age well. At least Torrie offered herself. I thought the Billy Gunn/Torrie Wilson/Jamie Noble/Nidia stuff happened way later. This is possibly Billy Gunn’s best singles match.

* They did a Bar Room Brawl between a bunch of the undercard, Brother Love, Brooklyn Brawler, Doink the Clown and The Easter Bunny (it’s July). This was like a cross between the Gimmick Battle Royal and the awful shit Matt Hardy does now. He didn’t even come up with the prototypes. Asshole. It’s interesting to be reminded of just how many people WWE had under contract. You’ve got Rhyno’s involvement in Benoit/Eddie, Nidia and Torrie as side pieces to Billy/Noble and you’ve got The Bashams, Orlando Jordan, Funaki, Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore, Sean O’Haire, Kanyon, The FBI, Brian Kendrick, John Hennigan, Matt Cappotelli and whoever else in here. Brawler is the best worker of the bunch. But it’s crazy to think of how “deep” the roster was.

* About to watch Kidman/Rey vs. World’s Greatest Tag Team, which I remember loving.

Specifically remember Funaki never leaving his seat at the bar during the entire brawl, and simply passing out drunk when he was one of the last ones

More random Vengeance ‘03 thoughts:

* WGTT vs. Rey & Kidman was a phenomenal match. Such pros. For all the times Kidman looked like he was so close to fucking up the Shooting Star, he did it from the middle of the top rope to the outside alright. Haas & Benjamin so good. Love the launch into the super hurricanrana.

* Steph vs. Sable was way better than it had any right to be. She didn’t work much, but when she did, Steph was pretty good at it.

Vince had a match at Mania 38. Shane was supposed to at Mania 39. Steph vs. Becky at Mania 40.

Apparently the crowd got splattered too though. And once they missed even worse and got the crowd entirely.

Apparently it was announced back in February and I just never bothered reading the fine print on my bill but NBC Universal is no longer offering free Peacock to Xfinity customers effective June 26th. Current Xfinity customers will be given a 2-month window to subscribe for a discounted rate of $3/month for a year and new subscribers will get a 6-month free trial.

Obviously this impacts all Xfinity users who effectively were given "free" access to WWE PPVs, albeit at the cost of an already bloated cable bill. Considering I've had so much of the old WWE Network archives available for me to access for the last couple of years, I basically never used the service because it was horrendous to navigate.
