Also I’m absolutely lol’ing at Punk on that panel, talking about fighting bosses and taking out eyes and biting. 🤣

And him talking about how men need to fight to solve problems. I hereby nominate him for funniest living human. 

Big Business is on the 13th? Did Tony sign T-Swift? 

They’re going to fuck around and ruin a good thing

Not saying Missy is this way, but I once heard a female executive at an old job bemoan that younger females complained about sexual harassment. “Oh, it’s nothing. You should have seen what I went through.” Some see it as just part of the business, something you just have to deal with. 

“Nothing should ever improve” - all the worst old people you know 

Are Nash and the co-host making the assumption that just because a civil suit has been filed that those same people haven’t been in contact with the authorities? What sort of logic is that?

We're deep in pro wrestling triple carny "everything's a work" land where I'm seeing people online who were upset on Friday on the Rock/Cody thing, going through weird stages of grief where they first buy into the logic that it was Rock making a power play through the board because of the injuries and the Vince situation and then moving on to the notion that this is all one big work to create a groundswell to distract everyone and make Rock into the sort of fake villain that the company would rather you focus on than Vince's real horrific acts.

Mainstream journalists still seem to be sniffing around the Vince stuff, so there’s really no way this will help. Doesn’t make much sense.

They fucked up. If they wanted to pull this off with no time left on the clock for fans to hijack it, then they should have done this closer to WM.

Isn’t it the opposite? If they wanted to pull this off, they needed to do it before Cody moved the ball so far down the field.

Sorry, didn’t mean to post this from my burner.

My mistake for allowing myself to care. I get what I fucking deserve. Lmao.

Drew shitting on Punk was fun too. He'll end up behind the desk

Way too much exposure for an investment of that size if he’s not gonna be wrestling. Don’t see it happening.

Starting to see it be reported multiple places that Punk stuffered a significant injury (thought to be a torn triceps) but not confirmed yet. And that he will address his injury tonight in Raw.

Not happy to be right but was pretty apprent while watching.

Gonna limit my internet use for the next couple days so I don’t see people taking victory laps and posting shitty Moxley promos.

Wait, did Tony Khan in an Afro wig and sunglasses address a sexual assault allegation during a press conference better than HHH? Is TK for better or worse the presser GOAT?!

There are much better, but this is the best we’ve got in this space somehow. 

Wonder if they’ve got their eyes on the Wanted Man

 

 

For as shitty as this was, all respect to Thurston, Alba, and Hawkins. People like to talk shit about wrestling journalism, sometimes for good cause, but they did their job.

I actually believe he didn't read it. And that's really the problem, isn't it?

That any of us are more curious than someone in his position? Yes, that’s the kind of shit that riles me up as much as almost anything.

Roman making once in a lifetime history is more important than Cody finishing the story at Mania.

No it’s not. If he’s not gunning for Bruno, this has run out of steam. Even if he is, it’s run out of steam. Nothing about this is important. Roman went last a year ago and went in the cool down spot this year for a reason. 

Wonder how much that Kairi situation fucked their plans, if at all.

The same people cooking HHH for what he said would have cooked him for No Commenting.

Good thing there are more than those two options! 

Hunter took Tony’s second worst standard non-answer and put it where Tony normally puts his worst standard non-answer. And it came out worse! Bold.

I would have been more confident on predicting a Bayley win if I thought Sasha was coming back and not taking TK’s money.  But given all her recent injuries, nice she will get a Mania title match (main event?) vs Rhea.  I presume they aren’t going the swerve where she turns face to wrestle her stable mate. 

Surely the swerve is her facing anyone other than Iyo.

I got a crisp fiver saying yes he did. Immediately had a panic huddle with the refs. Favored it the whole match. Clutching it on the floor. I'd chalk up him looking poor in the match to being hurt, but more so than tearing the triceps again he was probably mentally drained knowing instantly it was hurt and all the work and fallout that is in front of him.

kill me lol

Fans on hard cam getting up for the "hey somebody new is coming in" moment of the Rumble match (at least for the first Rumble) does mean that this card generated more noise than Rays playoff games in front of 15000 people

Move the team and the Rumble to Montreal!
