kayfabe just doesn't exist anymore in sports gambling ads

yeah yeah, the match last week with Ishii.

well the WWE employed a dead man for years, so..

"I HAD A JACKASS, AND I LOVEDDDDD THAT JACKASS, ONE DAY MY DADDY SAID THAT JACKASS HAS NO MORE USEEE TO US... MY DADDY THEN SHOT THAT JACKASS, APOLLO CREED"

PERSON WHO ONLY WATCHES WRESTLING: "Yeah, that guy scored a goal for Cameroon and did the DDP hand gesture" PERSON WHO KNOWS OF NON-WRESTLING THINGS: "I mean, that's a popular hand gesture in other things too" and the goal scorer got his second yellow and is out of the game?

Terry Funk wasn't wrestling for parts of the 80s, he could have played Ivan Drago

this is more Bowl Season than Championship Week or Off Season, but there's drama over rumors that Mizzou doesn't want to play Kansas in the Liberty Bowl due to the Liberty Bowl being at the same time as a Mizzou/Kentucky basketball game. Mizzou's Twitter account responded with "Not True … looking forward to our bowl game vs. any team!" So some good college football drama that's like the Briscos insisting they won't face Steamboat/Youngblood in Greensboro because they got a match with East Carolina in Kansas City instead.

So there’ll likely be a knockout round pair of Brazil/South Korea and Croatia/Japan where if Japan advances, either matchup will be interesting for different reasons. Then again Croatia did go to the final last time so don’t count them out. I think Brazil would have to lose and Switzerland would need to win by 3 goals to not have Brazil playing South Korea next week.

I guess Page is still the top babyface in the company as long as Danielson isn’t a committed babyface too. But if they’re not gonna do much with the Dark Order, then having Page drift away from them is gonna be the play. Maybe Page moves up to hanging out with Hook and Danhausen instead. So when Tony brings back Battlebowl in a few weeks, maybe we’ll get a parejas increibles match with Danielson and Page vs MJF and Moxley

Korea scores and Uruguay now needs another goal

The best national anthem in all of the World Cup is close to advancing provided that South Korea doesn’t do something (I have no idea who has the tiebreaker between SK and Uruguay)

Is Liberty a step up or down from Coastal Carolina?

The April 2017 NXT card I saw Aliyah and Ruby Riot over Billie Kay and Peyton Royce Dylan Miley over Cezar Bononi Killain Dain over No Way Jose DIY over Sanity Tye Dillinger over Patrick Clark Asuka over Sonya Deville Aleister Black and Hideo Itami over Andrade Almas and Bobby Roode With Eric Young back, that means that 7 people from this card are in the WWE. Several are in AEW. A few have disappeared into a void in the last few years.

two more notes 1) is it possible that we're pretty close to period where Regal would have dropped a 90 day notice about his contract? hence the whole thing being sorta speed-run to the exit lately? 2) while the Acclaimed/Gunn promo was pretty clever... am I the only one that thinks "nobody wants to face us" accidentally makes the AEW Tag Team titles seem a bit minor? In theory, some teams should wanna face the Acclaimed because they have championships, but then again, the best tag teams in the company have been working on other projects for a few months leaving the tag titles to be sorta on the backseat.

or that the angles without a title on the line have been more compelling than the angles involving titles, which has been a bit of an AEW/Tony characteristic for awhile.

The key to running a show in a country run by a murderous military junta involves good relations with the leadership, therefore Sgt. Slaughter will work Myanmarmania as a babyface.

Video game idea: a travelling wrestler mission on a car racing game where you have to make the next town without being pulled over as Dick Murdoch throws beer bottles at road signs

Not to be confused with bringing a stadium show to a minor international market "For the first time ever, The WWE is going to Bahtoo Stadium in Mandelay, Myanmar"

Fixed your post. 153k people bailing in the first 15 minutes probably happens in one form of another every week but hopefully contract negotiations never include the question "what can we get from your show that we can't get from airing 4 more episodes of Big Bang Theory in your time slot?" For the amount of blame that can be thrown at MJF/Regal, man... that 2nd hour in-between MJF and the main event was barren.

Here are the 8 Florida Atlantic Head Coaches so far Schnellenberger: 2001-2011 (last job before retirement) Carl Pelini: 2012-2013 (resigned, sued the University, got a job with Bo Pelini, now a High School Football coach in Youngstown) Brian Wright as an interim for 4 games in 2013 (now the HC at Pittsburg State, lost a Division 2 playoff game last weekend to Ferris State) Charlie Partridge: 2014-2016 (got fired, now the assistant head coach at Pitt) Lane Kiffin: 2017-2019 (left for Ole Miss, still at Ole Miss) Glenn Spencer as an interim for 1 game in 2019 (now at Wake Forest after a stint at South Florida) Willie Taggart: 2020-2022 (got fired) Tom Herman: 2023- So that is an assortment of names at various stages of their careers.

Rampage was beaten in the ratings on Friday Afternoon by TBS airing Christmas Vacation and Elf, so half-ish of the Dynamite audience didn't see Rampage anyways. I'm not sure how much you have to mention the B Show on the A Show unless you have something happening on the B Show that actually carries over to the A Show.

How are we defining "advertised" because MJF appearing last night was mentioned in the first segment of last week's show.

i'm excited for the MJF vs Elite turf war to determine which side gets blamed for the ratings

Japan/Croatia and Morocco/Spain in the next round. I'm sure the Ceuta watch party will be lots of fun for Morocco/Spain. Barring some goal explosion tomorrow, Portugal lands on the England/Senegal/France/Poland/Morocco/Spain side of the bracket while Brazil is on the America/Netherlands/Argentina/Australia/Japan/Croatia side. Brazil/Japan would be a fun match in a week.
