He looks like an entirely different person. How long has his name been “Rusevig.” Could that be him getting ready to trademark something outside of WWE? Miroslav Barnyashev, or whatever his name is, doesn’t really roll off the tongue of western audiences.

Hey guys remember when Rusev got really over twice and WWE stepped on him twice?

Think the “IG” is for Instagram. Maybe just “Rusev” was taken?

Probably. The RusevBul name he uses on Twitter also seems to have been taken by someone else on Instagram.

Rusev's tank entrance still has to be one of my favourite Rasslemania entrances of all time, if only for the badass Russian national anthem

For as bad as ROH has been this year and people wanting NJPW to sever all ties with them, they have nothing on RevPro who have become a PR disaster within the past week.
RevPro is currently dealing with growing backlash following an incident at their recent Summer Sizzler event. A wrestler legit beat up a ref after the finals of their tag tournament match due to it ending in a botched pin. Instead of handling the problem right away, RevPro tried to sweep it under the rug only for that plan to backfire badly. Then RevPro got called out for lying about what happened despite videos debunking their claims. Also still seem to be unwilling to help the ref who's career and soccer ref career is now in serious doubt due to the injuries he suffered. To make things even worse, once RevPro managed to actually fire the wrestler repoinsible for the mess, the wrestler posted DMs from the owner/booker showing that he knew all along about what really happened and was pissed at the ref for going public. Also showed that the apology given was insincere. |

Watching an episode of 1992 Superstars. They announced Savage / Warrior for SummerSlam, now have them going face to face and Ric Flair comes out. So crazy.

Flair cut a promo on Warrior telling him that Savage was trying to get Mr. Perfect to manage him at SummerSlam, so now Savage and Warrior don't trust each other and are cutting increasingly paranoid coke fueled promos on each other.

1990-92 WWF is a complete blur. I've seen so little of it just mainly because it's really bad. Everyone is too juiced up, Hogan is unbearable and everyone had overstayed their welcome. The territories were dead so it was the same tired, old faces. I actually like 93 WWF more than 90-92 just because it was different.

I still think it’s so surreal there is a show for cruiserweights and it has been going for about three years now.

Based on a recent interview from Triple H, seems WWE's plans for 205 Live's future is to eventually merge it into NXT and no longer be its own dedicated brand and show.

Also seems WWE is gutting some of NXT UK's star power in order to boost NXT for the weekly live move since both Pete Dunne and Toni Storm are currently planned to be heading to NXT. |

The show is under the WWE banner and featured on WWE branded PPVs and Network specials.

Yes since it started off as being a part of RAW due to the division being drafted there when the current Brand Split Era started.
Then the division got its own show meant to be a supplement to RAW but eventually became its own brand due to Vince's neglect. |

I believe it became a separate entity after the firing of Enzo Amore.

According to PWI, WWE has been in talks with CHIKARA and several lucha promotions in Mexico regarding the idea of them joining the WWE Network for the upcoming new premium tier.

Recent rumor going around the net hints that WWE is currently considering Michael Cole to become the new lead announcer for Smackdown while Vic Joseph takes over as the new lead announcer for RAW.

Cole to SmackDown was something I expected. It was him, Reigns and Rousey to SmackDown that were the no brainer moves. Vic Joseph got a tryout for something. I wonder where Tom Phillips goes? Third man on SmackDown or Raw? Doesn’t seem a good place for him, because he plays the lead.
