Could they want/expect people to hijack the shows and then allow them to "force WWE's hand" like they did back in WM30, as others have noted?

Hold up. Granted, I wasn’t paying SUPER close attention that Miro/CJ angle, but I’m pretty sure the point wasn’t that she was fucking all those guys.
Yeah, this time it was pretty clear CJ was hoping to have her own success as a wrestling manager and trying to find the best athletes to manage and make her own name. She wasn't looking for new male suitors here. At least how I understood that story, anyway.

Wasn't it also reported that Nigel had hepatitis or was that just a rumor?
According to the documentary on WWE Network, he had hepatitis, but it was B, but rumors started going around it was C and that caused him plenty of unnecessary trouble. He eventually got better, but the rumors had already done his career in by then.

There were a few “why aren’t these hot women dating main eventers” situations in the WWE
While this is just pure speculation on my part, but when aforementioned B.B was promptly and abruptly fired from WWE for dating Bob Holly, the reason given was that it was because Holly was married at the time. To me, it seemed back then that she was actually fired for getting involved with someone so low on the proverbial totem pole. No proof whatsoever, but I remember thinking it was so obvious at the time.

I never expected John Cena to be a talented comic actor but he’s incredibly funny.
He's got pretty terrific comedic timing and an ability to deadpan stuff that a lot of people would have trouble getting through without corpsing, so that helps a whole lot!

I saw them open up for Gwar years back at The Chance in Poughkeepsie.
Still posers, I assume? I liked them when they were underground.

Seems like I have a bad habit of, how should I put this, use up all my available energy within the time frame of my schedule.
What I mean is: I knew going in that this will be an extra short week with only 3 days of work and 3 workouts. That should be extra easy, then, right?
Well, yesterday, basically the entire day I was just wiped the fuck out. Sleeping through bits of Dynamite and later an episode of ROH I was drifting in and out of a comatose state.
Granted, I feel much better now, after resting pretty much for 24h, but it certainly seems like pacing myself is not something that comes naturally to me. That is funny, since I have absolutely no problem just lying on the couch for days on end if I don't have shit to do, but when it's on, it's F'n on.
To be honest, there were things this week that put some extra strain on me mentally as well, so it may have been THAT kind of exhaustion, too.
This would probably be a wonderful day for a long, mind-clearing walk, if it wasn't for the fact that pretty much everything outside is covered by a thin layer of slippery af ice, making it not worth the risk of falling down and hurting myself.
The winter tires on my bike as well the helmet makes me a lot less worried when biking but it seems like walking around is a lot more hazardous. The idea of going on a bike ride on my day off (if you can call being on a strike a day off?) is not appealing to me whatsoever.
Maybe some extra stretching and sauna would be more appropriate, but I think that will be more of an evening thing. So I guess it's just more calories and resting, maybe a little pump workout later on in the day?

You don't just throw out Athena's handmade ring gear! Or powerbomb a cameraman through Athena's dressing room table! Or just declare yourself the new Minion Overlord (tm)! Nyla will answer to either Billie OR Athena for this in due time.

I liked that Swerve and RVD started their match with a counter-argument to the old argument "When RVD throws a chair at you, don't catch it".
As Swerve so considerately demonstrated, if you don't catch the chair, you just get a steel chair bouncing off your face. You haven't really improved your position.
1) Catch the chair = get the chair kicked in your face
2) Don't catch the chair = get the chair flying in your face and probably kicked in the face afterwards
3) Push the chair away = get kicked in the face
This looks like a no-win situation, for sure, unless you duck. And even if you duck, you'll probably end up getting a rolling thunder.

I hate how fast TK always makes matches official. I'm starting to think that he knows beforehand what the wrestlers will throw out.
It's all in the reflexes. Probably just one mouse click away. They must have every possible match combination graphics ready somewhere, though. Those come up super fast as well.

Lots of intersting stuff this week. Jeff Hardy lived to regret the conversation backstage before the match with Mox.
Jeff: Ok, Mox do you have any specific plans for our match tonight?
Mox: I think I'll just play by the ear.
Jeff: That sounds great.
Hangman vs Toa was fantastic. Another template that I just love (along with PAC vs Claudio/ PAC vs Hangman architypes)
I have to watch Wardlow vs Komander and Jericho vs Fletcher again
Toni's commentary was batshit as usual, Deonna vs Taya was good, the finisher was brutal!
Renee must hate selling her soul like that, with Nicholas and Matthew. Darby is focused on the tag titles, I could see this ending two different ways, but both are different kinds of bad. I think Bucks ending up with the tag titles at Revolution would be the even more bad, but more interesting option. The other is that Bucks screw Sting and Darby out of the tag titles next week.
Bang Bang Scissor Gang is popular for sure, but I have a bad feeling that now two sets of trios titles will be wasted when they could be used to add excitement to lower card young teams facing each other. There's really no reason Top Flight Action shouldn't have one of those right now.
RVD and Swerve with a wonderful main event and unless something goes tits up, as Timeless Toni would say, in next week's match between Swerve and Hangman, we will get ONE top contender for World Title. I'm so glad there is no precedent where they would force an unwanted 3-way as a payoff. What?
Also, HOOK with a chair and a D12 T-shirt. Good for him. A match against Cage is what he needs to bounce back from the Joe loss.

Nemeth looked decent but I was like "you probably need a new finisher, too, like Trinity", but so far, no.
MK Ultra for an obvious re-match against Decay.
Bring on the best of 3 between ABC and GYV!
Opener and main event were swank.
I'm Mustafa Ali (fan) and I approve of this signing!

Yes, regular bench today, albeit a bit shorter workout than usual due to work. Started with 12x164, then 7x252, 6x263, 5x269, 3x274, 3x280 (one clean rep and two decent gym bro level), 6x252 and 52 reps with 164 within 4 sets.
Between sets I did some standing double dumbell curls with 26,5's, 31's, 35's and 39,5's. No time for abs.
My union will be on strike for the next two days so that's it for the week.

Looool fucking Scandinavia. I’ve only been there once but experiencing dusk but still light outside at like 11pm on Aland freaked me out.
That place freaks us out as well, don't worry!

Well, the Trapbar went some parts very good, others not so much.
Started with the deficit lifts 5x255, 2x365, 1x459. At this point I ran into trouble and next lift was 481 off the ground level with Versas. Okay, that sucked, so onto the blocks and straight to 3/4 blocks at that. 2x581,5, 1x654, then off the full blocks 2x749. Shoes on, the 843,5 failed, shoes off, got one. In total, did 4 singles with 843,5, then 3x749, 6x665 and 12x570,5 using rest pause. Then two sets of shrugs with 459 and 359.
I tried to go for a second rep on two of the 843,5 singles but failed both times.
So, some lifts went better than last time, others not as well as last time.
Not sure what I will be doing tomorrow? Bench, maybe?

This week started, as usual, with incline dumbell bench/ hammer curls, instead of Trapbar. 7 sets, between 6 to 9 reps (mostly 8), two sets with seat straight up, three with one notch down and two with two notches down. 7 sets of hammer curls, everything was with a pair of 88's, like it has been for a couple of weeks now. The resistance band lat pull downs and chest flies were also involved, along with some light curls on the incline bench and lateral raises to the side standing up, but using the same light dumbells as with the curls. Moderate ab work for the finish.
I'll stretch my legs and get a meal in and then I'm off to do the Trapbar today.

I gleefully add Vince to the current two person list who'd I'd love to see treated like Ghadaffi, instead.

I remember first reading about Mongolian Mauler in an independent wrestling magazine I bought from a trip to Germany back in 1992. He seemed to travel around the world wrestling in all sorts of places, but it was probably mostly Europe and Japan in addition to US.
Then, I remember the results in PWI seeing he faced Brian Pillman in WCW in '94 and was like "Oh, it's that guy with the black eyes!" Too bad nothing came out of that brief run. I would have probably watched his stuff given a chance.
It's also very weird how the time between summer of '92 and spring of '94 seemed like a really, really long time. From summer of 2022 to a few months from now is just "a few days at work and gym , plus a trip or two." Time is weird.

Side note, this was the first five day work week for me in a couple of months now and this afternoon my weight went below 200lbs for the first time this year at 196,5. Abs are slowly making their reappearance.

History is full of people doing good deeds for the wrong reasons. Robber barons building hospitals and universities all the way down to people doing charity work to impress a romantic interest.
Jimmy Saville did a shit-load of charity, all his life, for instance. And he did that to "balance the scales of devine judgment" or something similar, by his own admission.

Yeah, when I said I'd wait for more info before resubscribing to WWE Network, this wasn't exactly what I meant, but it will certainly do. So that would be a no, then.

Seal-Row day with some conventional deadlift thrown in this evening. Skipped the light stuff and went to 264 straight after 154. Then 286 and 3 sets of 303. When coming back down, I did a set with 297 and 286, which went surprisingly well after the 303's, which obviously weren't clean. Then one more set with 264, then onto deadlift. Legit off the floor level, I did singles with 330 and 374,5, then 2x440,5, which is a record, I have only got one a couple times before. Then I used half blocks for a single with 484,5 (also a record), then one more 440, 375,5 and 330.
So yeah, that was nice.
Thursday I basically had zero sleep despite all the trying on a few different occasions. No workout tonight. I did get an extra 15 kilometers on the bike today so there's that. I will do Trapbar on Monday, if I feel recovered enough by then.

Yeah, this is true. Unless that takes some weird turn also, later on. The Punk injury threw things for a loop, and maybe they really think that the best way forward is Cody vs Seth and Rock vs Roman?
I would imagine Drew vs Seth and Rock vs Roman vs Cody could be a way to move forward, but I guess they see things differently?
