Got to give the dude credit. I was happy for him getting out, but with one idea he’s kind of made himself and his old ring name way more relevant than I thought possible.

According to Dave Meltzer, at least one wrestler recently tried to fail WWE's Wellness Policy tests as a way to get out of the company.
Problem is WWE no longer counts strikes from failed tests if its from people they refuse to release for any reason. Also seems WWE got pissed at the Revival turning down their recent contract offer and hit Dash Wilder with a 2 month extension on his contract for injury time. |

I’m waiting for someone to try faking their death and then re-emerge on the indies with a fake mustache like Mr. Snrub

This isn't even a new thing, Carlito claimed he got so fed up of them continually refusing to release him that he decided to start going hard on painkillers knowing they would pop him for it, and even then they only actually released him because he told them to fuck off when they offered to give him rehab for his (allegedly false) addiction instead of firing him.
Also there was the Matt Hardy thing, where he got himself fired by making weird as fuck youtube videos to the point where everyone was concerned for his mental health. |

Bobby Roode blew his cover on Raw. Maybe he’ll get a new Wrestling Rabbi gimmick?

WWE could get hit so hard in the PR for this. At some point, something is going to cave.

Would going more public with this help? Going to the John Olivers of the world? Lean on whatever media contacts you have (not sure how close Sasha is with Snoop, but I’m sure he could deliver some harsh words that could bring attention to his cousin being held captive). Make noise until someone goes “this is awful” and they start letting people go.

That's been my main issue. These need to be 2 hours long. It's hard to follow the timelines because they do massive jumps in the story due to time constraints.

Interesting note from this week's Wrestling Observer. When RAW and SD ratings drop 16-17% from the previous year, after DVR viewership is figured in that changes to 14-16%.
In other words, the number of fans who watch via DVR is under 100k, it's not a huge number at all. |

I feel like a lot of people watch on Hulu or a third party site to watch RAW and SD. I don't know if they can gain viewership totals through that or not. Like I pay each month for Fubo.tv and watch RAW on that. But I don't know if you can actually add that to viewership

I like Goldberg, but that is not going to work with this fan base this time. I hope they do it.

Seeing Kevin break down a bit he got to the 2nd/3rd death in the family was depressing though. Personally, I'd rank them in order from best to worst: 1) Von Erichs 2) Brody 3) Macho & Liz 4) Montreal Screwjob |

reading into him a bit his last match was a "freebird hair cream" match in 1986 with chris adams
and instead of putting the cream on his head to win the match he squirted in his face to blind him. then he turned up dead a few weeks later apparently he could have had the Million Dollar man gimmick too sounds fun |
