I never got it with Jr. He looks so much like this guy I grew up with. I just can’t see anything other than a normal guy.

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

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.

I wouldn't describe any of that action as "smooth," but that's not a criticism. He's moving fast--especially for someone that size--and it has a very "real" feel to it.

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.

Researching Joe Malenko somehow took me down down a Johnny Smith viewing path. Watching some clips with him from Stampede Wrestling. I swear one of the commentators just confirmed a Gama Singh was a “good worker” when one of his suplexes was described as scientific wrestling.

I immediately thought "my God if she came around today"
But the WWE would probably call her Hambone Hogsworth |

Feel free to steal that ring name Destor if you ever make a comeback. I won't trademark it.
