I would be a benevolent, fair, but just ruler. Cross me even slightly though and your entire IP range is banned until time stops.

Christ, I really don't want to see Angle wrestle anymore. He looked so slow and broken down from the waist down. His strength is still there, but damn, I felt less concerned about Sting wrestling than I did about Angle. Hell, I even felt less concerned when Terry Funk was still wrestling in 99 and 2000.

I would feel less concerned about Terry Funk wrestling now than I do Kurt Angle and his "Michael Keaton in the Batman suit" level of neck mobility.

PWInsider is reporting Jeff Jarrett signed with WWE to work on camera and behind the scenes.

I had no idea they had signed Shane Helms, too to work behind the scenes.

Ambrose leaving would be pretty wild. I mean, his booking has been pretty garbage for years but he’s still a guy they perenially keep at the semi-main and main event level (especially at house shows) and his connection to Rollins and Reigns has been a crutch of top level storylines for years and would continue to be going forward.

Gotta think he’s walking away from some serious money but he’s a weird dude. Oddly enough, he’d probably get to spend more time with his wife if he’s not on the WWE road schedule.

But, yeah, this would be the biggest WWE departure since Punk. Wild year so far.

Judging by the past few days of WWE programming,  all WWE has needed was just the threat of real competition, I can't imagine how much different WWE would be now if the had the threat of potential competition alot sooner.

Meltzer injury update

He has to have surgery on hand (this is the fallout from his bike crash last week) Thursday. He can't type for 8 weeks. And more importantly to Dave - he can't train (at least with his hands) for 12 weeks.

There will be WONs every week but they will have a different format.

He said he will do most of the breaking news via the audio shows and is planning on doing more audio shows.

Basically this is a FYI for the folks who are either are subscribers but don't listen to the audio or you wait till folks post it on Reddit or Twitter or something

Now to follow that up and tie it back into the Ambrose thing

Dave said he hadn't been able to confirm it himself but since it is coming from the Torch (though the implication was more specifically Wade Keller) he believes it

He said he has asked around and no one is talking about it which is surprising. Dave did said though he has heard the same things as the Torch said in the reason for Ambrose's unhappiness (especially the part about "doing hokey things")

Just in time for the price increase too (for us print only people).

That’s a complaint Ambrose has expressed in the past. So it sounds believable.
