I can't even remember where I saw it, but it was on a website and officially called him out for it. I think it stems from something that happened before I really engaged with any of the wrestling journos - others might have a better knowledge of what is being referenced.

For all his faults, Bix takes journalism very seriously and is well aware of the ethics involved in the field. Whereas Johnson has had a weird grudge against Bix for years. I think he even tried provoking him into a fight at a show they were both at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 So... AJ appears to be injured. Ran an angle to get him out of the MSG match Friday, didn't work Saturday. It would be fucking awful if us anything serious right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, I prefer it to the Summerslam match. I'm bummed that no Jumping Bomb Angels/Glamour Girls matches made it on this list. JBA vs GG at WM V should be top five. EDIT: No wait, was it the Rumble match between JBA and GG? I can't remember now. One of them should be on the list. I remember it being awesome. I prefer the Blayze/Bull match on Raw Too. The Summerslam match is great but they pulled out all of the stops for the Raw Match. I was bummed about the lack of GG/JBA too. Hopefully if they ever go forward with women’s tag titles, they will give a little more love to those teams as well as Velvet McIntyre and Princess Victoria.

BEN! Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Naming a battle royal after Andre makes sense cause he was known for winning battle royals. There's no memorable woman associated with battle royals and no reason to name it after one other than some marketing bullshit. Up until this year's Royal Rumble, WWE was still doing eliminations through the ropes for the women. Really the most memorable WWE battle royal moments I can even think of were that time Gail Kim rolled out of the ring at the bell and eliminated herself and nobody noticed until she mentioned it and that time Kaitlyn accidentally won. Those both might've been from the same match from all I can remember. Naming it after Chyna would've been as big of a joke as Moolah cause they're clearly reaching for a female empowerment slant and she got at least one woman fired for getting into her spotlight and she refused to give the other women anything when she got integrated into the general Divas population. They really should've just done some kind of 8-10 women leftovers tag match. Either way, I'd say it should be on the pre-show but on the other hand I kind of want Kid Rock to play them out again just for the faux outrage whining I'm sure that would somehow cause.

Casey Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I’m not surprised that the guy who constantly fantasy books the Stud Stable into everything doesn’t understand why people would be upset at the idea of Kid Rock playing out 20 or more women wrestlers, especially in this day and age in WWE. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hmm Chyna did win that Corporate Rumble and was the first woman in the Royal Rumble. Even if her eliminating Mark Henry made me bust a blood vessel. So she is a pretty logical choice. Her or The Terrorist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 WWE announced that besides the 50 person Rumble on the "Greatest Rumble" show - they are gonna have 7 title matches A whole lotta guys working twice and a whole lotta 7 minute matches So of course this is the show they make a Network special out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 7 titles - Universal, World, Both Tags (though I'm guessing both will be unified soon), US, IC, Women's.
