The current reporting is that he's still gone when his contract expires in late April. My favorite bit of Payback build:

ASUKA VS. KAIRI CONFIRMED FOR MANIA 36.

Kairi's entrance had better use the cannons.

Y'all funny. No one came to see Stone Cold sell his knee or The Rock get beat up and have HHH get in the last word. They came to see everyone get hit with a Stunner and Rock hit a People's Elbow and tell HHH he was gonna turn his nose sideways and stick it straight up his candy ass. Just like no one's here to see Becky walk around with a gimpy leg and getting beat up by lames like Charlotte and Ronda. I for one, hope next year's Mania is Becky Lynch vs Becky Lynch with special guest referee Becky Lynch inside a steel Becky Lynch.

New Day coming to Mania for that booty. Mania 36 is gonna be rated ARRRRR.

The first time I ever ate a slim Jim as a kid I was insanely disappointed it didn't make the snap sound from the commercial. It was right after little league too, so my whole team witnessed me take a massive bite of this thing and snap it away from my mouth just like Macho only to get nothing. I threw it out and bought a hot dog.

Cannons? They have a entire fucking PIRATE SHIP in the end zone. A world where Kairi Sane doesn't make her Mania entrance swinging on a rope from that thing with her motley crew of lady pirates like "Sirens of TI" is a world I don't want to live in.

I was half expecting this to go to Mania and have Cena challenge him as well. I'm sad to see Truth's run end, but I'm really glad with Joe finally getting gold. Truth and Mela remain a perfect midcard act though.

I just was thinking that they really needed to do a bit where Truth wakes up in his room in his John Cena sheets with the John Cena poster on the wall thinking it's all a dream that he lost the US title, only to find out it was true.

Fan to Terry Funk: "When you knocked Mr Pogo off the apron (and he injured his neck), did you mean to hurt him?" Funk: "Well, I meant for him to land on the barbed wire that was down there, and I meant for him to land on the beds of nails that were down there, and I meant for him to land on the sheets of glass that were down there, and I meant for him to land on the explosives that were down there, but... no, I didn't mean to hurt him".

Yeah, if Kairi Sane doesn't get to have her version of Rusev On A Tank by commandeering the Buccaneer Boat then Wrestlemania 36 has already bombed.

Al Snow was the guy that should have beaten Douglas. For the fans sake and ECW, it's ashame he was under WWF contract.

Christ, what a bummer that they gave up roman numerals. IT MAKES US LOOK OLD, PAL! The Super Bowl just hit 53 and nobody gave a shit. Fuck's sake. Is this on the list of things HHH will change when he takes over? If so, how far behind #1 ("fire Kevin Dunn") is it?

If you really want to appease the internet fans that NXT is largely booked for you can swerve with Harper going down while he has nothing else going on and running with the belt for a few months having great matches with everyone before putting e.g. Riddle over strong at the Spring Takeover and heading back up.

Ventura hated Hogan, so he would've been pro WCW

The Usos talking about Shane, half admitting he does have a decent shoe game, realizing there was still trash to be talked, and shouting "THAT AIN'T THE POINT" almost killed me

Fuck this for $2000.

The only people that are going to know aside from my grandmother, mother, and me is my step-father. There was no mandatory picture or anything like that. New Jersey does allow to collect anonymously.

I hate to be the practical party shitter, but in this case I think it is the right thing to do. I hope your state is one of those that allows her to accept the money anonymously. Asshole scammers like to prey on old people, especially if they are armed with information about their finances and those stupid mandatory promotional pictures that states make people take while holding those huge checks as a requirement to receive their winnings is no bueno. You may as well tattoo I HAVE WON CASH~! PLEASE ROB ME~! on your forehead. Do your best to make sure that Yia Yia's winnings reach her bank account and are spent on her and your family (even then, be careful because family can be the worst sometimes...). if she choses to be chartable, ensure that her donations reach the right places and the right people. Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS, YIA YIA~! GET THAT MONEY, GIRL~!

Today is going considerably better. My grandmother won $50,000 on a $25 scratch off ticket. For a woman who has endured so much shit in her life, Yia Yia certainly deserves it. I know money doesn't buy happiness, but it helps a little. My mother texted me at work, so I have to try and contain myself and remain professional.

That bad? I don't know about that. I think you may be taking those "See, CORBIN is why the show sucks" promos a little too much to heart. Corbin is mediocre in basically every single way. The position they're putting him in is what's awful - the endless pointless Braun feud, the GM role, the outfit. But he's salvageable if they just stop digging the hole. Get him out of that gear, give him a couple of months off, bring him back as a bodyguard type for a low-to-midcard heel. Never put him in a main event or semi-main event role again. Problem solved. There's also the issue that he shouldn't be talking at all, but that's also more of an overall show issue - lots of people they make talk shouldn't be talking. Anyone notice that they turned Ronda heel, and she wasn't rattled or affected by people booing her? Really weird stuff considering so many people in the Raw thread seemed convinced that she hated being booed so much that she used her political power to have Charlotte inserted into the Mania match. Seemed rational at the time and not spun entirely out of thin air at all. Should I wait here for y'all to come admit you were wrong, or...?

Neither does Robert Gibson...

It's so dumb. I think the number is actually a bragging thing as in "look how many years we have been we have been doing this!".

Snow should have had at least a one month run with the title.

WWE Films presents: A shitty animated children's movie voiced by WWE Superstarrrrrs

WWE in a nutshell right there.

Just maybe the nicest man to ever work as a pro wrestler. I've got tons of clippings and xeroxes he sent me when I wrote him a couple of fan letters. Just a super nice guy who always, always made time for the fans. I know my bro, Steve Yohe is just going to be crushed by this, I'm praying that he doesn't see it on a message board and maybe got an e-mail from Kurt Beyer, since he's been in touch with the family. RIP, Intelligent, Sensational One! You were one of a kind and I mean that in the best way possible.

That's probably more like "don't come back ever under suspicion that your doctor is an idiot".

I guess I'm just glad to see them really go with someone, anyone after years of not going with anyone. They did NOT do that with Reigns. Most of his booking was abysmal and did not have him looking super strong, no matter what people might have complained. There's a reason why there were plausible political hit theories. Brock's an exception but he's been treated more like an attraction, not even like Andre but like wrestling Bruno during the Hogan years.

More than a year out, Elias already feels like his gimmick has run its course.

The Bucks couldn't happen, there's only 4 Superkick variations in the game, and you can't set the AI to sell nothing but randomly have Matt's back go to 0 HP.

Whoops. Got my message boards crossed for a minute, my post was referencing the "Holy Grails" thread on the Pro Wrestling Only message board. A thread started in 2012 of "lost"/"possibly untaped" matches that people wanted to see as a speculative thread in 2012, one year before the WWE Network launched. https://forums.prowrestlingonly.com/topic/15404-holy-grails/ AWA expert khawk20 posted this on the thread last week: "I'm not looking back in the thread and I may have posted about this previously in this thread, but I became aware of the existence of AWA guys wrestling a paid show at a Cereal convention circa 1988-89. The wrestlers had names given to them of cereal mascots of the day (Greg Gagne introduced as "Captain Crunch" for example). I had a line on the tape but the guy I was discussing it with worked there and it would have been a possible get-fired risk had he sent me the tape, so he didn't end up doing it. I lost track of him years ago, but knowing the tape exists makes me hope it somehow gets out someday." And then nine days later, it's up on the WWE Network!

Please let this mean they are signing PCO Paul Burchill a lock for the gimmick battle royal.

Mitakeumi doesn't seem to hopeful. His knee is still bothering him, he hasn't trained properly. He will probably enter (not a smart thing), but it might be a career jepoardizing move. Terunofuji is the worst example regarding knee trouble, he fell quickly after those gave out on him.

Did you mean "toked up"? - RAF

Aiaiai, a speedy recovery to you, sir. May Allah/Odin/Shiva/Crom/Buddha/Abbudadein and/or Harley Race bless your future. - RAF

I like the Ant-Man movies. They aren't spectacular or anything but Rudd and Pena are so good. It's very hard to not like them just doing stuff. Pena's story time cutaways are fucking hilarious.

LOL Corbin has upside... Dude, Corbin has negative charisma. He drags down everyone around him. He sucks. And I say this as someone who used to really like the guy, but it's now clear he needed way more time in NXT. To make matters worse, he looks generic as fuck. Finn clowning on him looking like a TGIFridays manager just exposed how lame his in ring "gear" is. Everything about Corbin is awful.

Glad that Joe won the US title. I've had a rough evening, which I let out in the How's It Going? thread. My attention wasn't fully on Smackdown, but I pumped my fist for Joe's win. I'm still firmly on Team Becky. Screw the Wooo; ditch the Bitch.
