Imagine if you were a World Champion and that's the face you had to go home to.
No wonder Eddie died young. |

I think Macias and Taktarov may have been team mates too, it's well known that agreements were reached so that one guy might go into a fight a lot healthier than his opponent. UFC is a lot slicker now, like boxing in its heyday. |

Yeah especially considering 25% capacity of Daily's Place is around 1375. Performance Center would be around 100 but everyone would be a lot more cramped in since less space to spread them out compared to a regular arena.
Vince and WWE managed to open up a huge can of worms because of their stubbornness over this on-going coronavirus pandemic. Them finding a sleazeball of a politician to do it isn't a big surprise on it own. UFC could have saved a ton of money and ridicule from their Fight Island stuff had they just waited a couple of weeks for WWE to do the dirty work for them. |

Like, even with 1375 people in every other seat, having fans seems like such an awful idea. I like the wrestlers being in the crowd because it has helped, and with a fuller roster they could enhance that atmosphere. But man, packing even 1k people in spaced out just sounds bad.

Bought the Death of the Territories book by Tim Hornbaker with a Amazin gift card I got for my birthday. I heard it's really good.

I am going to be contacting athletic commissions to see if Tyson Smith is Kenny Omega.
I have a hard on for this issue. Wish me luck. |

I'm planning to buy that book. Already got Capitol Revolution by the same author, which is about WWE's history up until Vince's purchase of the company from Vince Sr. in the early '80sl

27 years ago today. never saw Hulk be this technical. Not OVERLY technical, but moreso than anything he did in WWF.
Also a huge Muta fan. Loved his super fast elbows, and other unorthodox moves he used. |

Supposedly Corey Graves has been training and might potentially be trying to get back into the ring.

He referenced an earlier gimmick 2 months after the debut of Raven, aka Johnny Polo, aka his ex-manager. He seems like the kind of guy who'd eat lightbulbs and electrocute himself. |

Seems Charlotte's appearance on last week's episode of NXT was a huge bust in terms of viewership according to the Observer.
Despite them hyping up her match with Mia Yim for the past few weeks, the match itself ended up being the lowest rated in terms of the key demo and 2nd lowest in terms of overall viewership on the show. Also one of the lowest ever rated in the key demo since NXT moved to USA Network. Outside of her first return appearance to NXT, WWE's plans of using Charlotte's star power to be a big boost for NXT's key demo ratings has backfired badly. Pretty much been diminishing returns since then. |

He looks like he smells.
Also, he looks like he doesn't wash his ass or feet. The meme is long dead, So I will co-opt it now. |

uhhhh, gross. Either they will quietly release Roman given his situation, or they are just trying to ensure the Savior of Monday Nights remains pure?
I dunno, I don't really watch. I read results, but that's the extent. Reigns seems like the last person they should try to have compete right now. |

I'm unsure if the WWE has done something similar in the past when a performer has gone on an extended leave of absence. I doubt if there is any heat on Reigns since he's immunocompromised.

While not completely the same, WWE gave Hogan the scrubbing treatment after a tape of him using racist slurs got leaked.

Roman is going to Hollywood. He doesn't need WWE anymore because he's going to ride the Rock's coattails into a more lucrative business.

He has no charisma at all, there's no way he's getting any good acting work.
