After the deputy pulled Fatu over, he noted Fatu had issues holding his license, registration, and proof of insurance. He had bloodshot and watery eyes, droopy eyelids, dilated pupils, and slow/slurred speech according to the deputy.
The deputy said he could smell an alcoholic beverage from the driver side window and asked Fatu several times to step out of the car. When he did, he appeared to be unsteady and the deputy asked him to ride with him to a flat parking lot to do a field sobriety test. Fatu agreed and then was reportedly confused and didn't know what was happening, asking if he needed a lawyer and if he was being detained.
According to the report, Fatu took out his phone and attempted to put it toward the deputy's face. At that point, he was arrested for DUI and became uncooperative, eventually getting into the police vehicle after being asked several times.
Fatu said he was uncomfortable with the police vehicle and wanted to speak with another deputy. The arresting officer said he had to roll down his back windows due to the overwhelming smell of alcohol in the car.

The main difference is search, it appears that when you search content you not only get content from the streaming platform but WWE.com as well. So it looks like it's become the master search. The top of the website is even adorned with the same menu items as you see on the streaming players.

Besides issues with missing content as part of the new design, seems its also a lot less accessible for those with certain disabilities according to Post Wrestling. Link: https://www.postwrestling.com/2019/0...mpaired-users/

Johnson and his family have a long history in Hawaii going back to the Great One's grandfather and grandmother who ran Hawaii as a promotion.

While the company announced 82,265, the paid number was closer to 63,000. Based on the KPI, you can arrive at a range of at least 60,399 and no more than 65,547 as the paid number. The show did a gate of $16.9 million, which is the second-highest in history behind WrestleMania 32 from AT&T Stadium in April 2016.

Where does WWE go from here?
"I am going to give you a weird analogy and I don't know if it is a good one or not. Even Disney every once in a while turns out a movie that sucks. It doesn't sink Disney and people don't stop loving Mickey Mouse, they go that movie sucked and I won't see it again and Disney says well that movie sucked and we need to make the next one better. WWE is not going anywhere and I'm excited for the state of the business. I like that the business is heating up and I don't want to call it competition yet but it is something healthy and respectable and I say the word “yet” with that being the operative word and I hope the best for everybody and I think the best thing that could happen for everyone is competition. When everyone has to be on their toes all the time nobody is complacent, everyone is at their best all the time and the only people who really win is the fans. I lived through the Monday Night Wars and just to tell you the entire time they were going on I was never not at my house on a Monday night from 8pm to 11pm my entire high school career and beyond."

Being murdered/killed off on Lucha Underground Season 4:
"Well, it wasn't supposed to happen. What had happened is I had a match I was really happy with against Johnny (Impact) Mundo. It was kind of the culmination of everything I was working towards for 2 years between season tapings. Then, the next night I do a run in, freak accident, I tear my bicep getting clotheslined out of the ring. So, they had to cover. So, they killed me off. They were going to bring the character back if there was another season. But, it was really disappointing to be killed off right when I felt I was at the height of my career with Lucha Underground. But, it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise because my entire style in the ring changed after that and I started to incorporate what I do now which is more martial arts and I've become known for a lot of the kicks that I do. It has kind of set me apart a little bit. It is one of the reasons AEW is interested. I couldn't really train the way that I had been training. So, I started kicking, learning the drills until I perfected it. It just opened up new pathways in the ring for me."
