Pretty much every major world title has had at least a couple of questionable holders.

If it counts as a world championship, my pick is probably the NXT title. Not an Arquette or Jinder in the bunch. 

Adam Cole won’t reach the heights Mahal did on a show that matters. Take that to the bank...

With NXT as World Championship, there's also the question mark since if NXT's titles count, you'd have a case to claim the NXT Women's Championship is the pick:

It's always been sold as equal to the NXT men's championship (so the "but it's the women's title" doesn't count), and there's not only no questionable titleholders in the NXT Women's title history thus far and everyone who did hold the title being a worthy champion, but more specifically it's basically the one title in the modern era which you can truly say elevates the titleholder and makes them special, by virtue of holding that title belt. (That's a big difference, because with other major titles, the questionable holders drag it down- but if the title has that presence, the questionable titleholders get raised up by "well, they are good enough to hold this title, there must be SOMETHING there!"

Well, it looks like Jervis Cottonbelly is getting outed for being pretty scummy on Twitter....

he actually was pissed because he sent money to a guy to make him gear/boots  and the guy never sent the gear after Jervis paid. I know he was pissed about it and posted something. A few other workers chimed in about the gear maker saying they had been scammed by him as well.

That's not it. Jervis has been accused of sexual harrassment/being a sex pest.

oh shit, I didn't even hear about this. The girl who cuts my hair went to college with him and said he always was into wrestling but was "a little different"  never would have guessed him for a sex pest though.

I read it was the other Jervis, and not the original Jervis who got into it with Quack, and basically became the L.A. Park of the American Indy scene.

Edit: No wait, maybe it is the Jervis I’m thinking of. AKA The Jervis that got into it with Quack.

I read the Superstar Graham and Devin Nicolson (not the best sources) say that Vince and Pat Patterson made a scene at Rocky Johnson's funeral. Has anyone reputable reported that?

No

It is all Nicholson claiming that Harry Smith told him this. The claim is both were drunk and then also implying that Patterson is going senile

He said that Smith "wasn't able to Skype right now" so he just relayed the info

Well, if he's going to name names then either Harry backs that up as being true or the guy is full of shit.  This being wrestling I tend to lean towards the latter though it is Vince we're talking about.

Guys, I'm sure your dong is the most glorious dong that has ever graced the Earth, but unless someone tells you, "Hey, lemme see that hog," you can safely assume that no one wants to see it*, so just go ahead and put it away. They are not aesthetically pleasing, and no one likes to get blindsided by dicks when they're checking their texts. 

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

*This does not apply to Dave Bautista, because let's face it, we're all a little curious.

I was bullied. Bullies are the fucking worst. Best wishes to the kid, his family and good on Bray Wyatt for doing that.

Good on Bray.  What sucks in today's world is that the kids who stand up to bullies get suspended too.  My daughter takes martial arts and one of the Asian kids at the dojo was picked on repeatedly. When he fought back he was the one who was suspended. The sensai (Danillo Villefort)  went to the school and said that his students don't attack but they aren't going to sit around and get hit either. The school ended up apologizing the the boy and his family.  Crazy world we live in.

Honestly, it's further than that and with zero tolerance rules, even the students who sit around and get hit will be suspended for getting in a fight because the other person hit them. (Hell, some groups of bullies make zero tolerance rules part of their bullying: 5-10 bullies get together, and one day each bully will attack the victim- so they each get one day suspension and the victim gets a day per bully, then repeat.)

that is painful to hear, sad.   I attend all of the PTG meetings etc, and if this ever happened to my kid I would own the school. If my kid was hit and got suspended for it you could bet your ass at minimum the local media would be involved.  I feel like some parents aren't involved enough and don't want to fight with the school over a suspension. This empowers the bullies to do exactly as you say and keep doing their shit.   Hard to get someone to defend a kid being bullied if they know they will get suspended for doing so.  Instead you get a bunch of kids filming an assault on their phones.

I used to work with kids who were autistic, some had other disabilities,  there was a huge crossover with a lot of the kids and their love of wrestling.  I remember one kid used to come to school with stacks of wrestling magazines and we'd sit there and flip through them. He was a huge John Cena and Rey Mysterio fan.  There was another kid who loved Mr. Kennedy and would do the "Kennedy!" thing... it was so awesome.  

There were a couple times where I had words with people who I felt weren't treating the kids very well and it usually wasn't other kids believe it or not..  it was adults. Not to make excuses for kids because they need to be taught to do better too but how pathetic of a human being do you have to be to be a grown man or woman and talk down to a kid with a disability.

My grandpa gave me the 1989 WWF magazine with Piper on the cover.  I was woking home from school and a kid i knew took it and ripped it.  He was a state wrestler and I knew this but I went up and bunched in twice in the nose.  He never screwed with me again.  That magazine meant a ton to me because it was one of the biggest reminders I had of my Grandpa who had passed on by that time.
