Kevin Wilson

Don't care the Bills traded down, not thrilled they helped the Chiefs of all teams get the player they wanted in the process.

Didn't you hear, Bo Nix gave Sean Payton the same 'special feelings' he got from Mahomes. A lock.

Five QBs in the first ten picks, crazy. Teams just can't resist that rookie QB contract/build everything else/win lots of games dream.

boring ass chalk draft

If it makes you feel any better, none of my hesitation about the angle has anything to do with what I thought fans online would think, its my own deep hatred for heel authority figures based on years of trauma. If that isn't the direction they are going I'd be of course thrilled but based on how they did it I don't think the fear is totally unwarranted.

I'll have to see where this is going. I hate heel authority figures more than anything else in wrestling, if this is the YB's way of "taking over" the promotion. Nothing will make me stop watching a promotion faster than having a heel making matches, setting up the good guys, etc. Not saying that is where they are going but I'm just afraid they are looking to "spark" interest. To me the heel authority figure hasn't worked in over 20 years, I have zero interest in that. So I'm hoping it is just a way to get over The Elite as heels and not a sign of them literally taking over the promotion.

I know mock drafts are mostly done for clicks/engagement but the latest one on nfl.com has SIX QBs going in the first 13 picks. That's crazy, right??

Unless I mis-read it, I don't think he's back. To add a real life element to it, I know someone that last summer had unfortunately a very similar injury to Adam Cole, to the point he had to go in for a second surgery it was so messed up. Today he is walking just fine, if you met him you wouldn't know his ankle was fucked, but he still can't even run, let alone jump off a turnbuckle and land on it. He said he's still at least a few months away from doing anything more than walking around as there is just more healing it needs to do. Now everyone heals different and no two injuries are the same so I'm not saying its a 1:1 to Cole, but I read it as "he's well enough to appear at shows again to further storylines" not "he's healed and will be able to wrestle in a month." I could be wrong, my IRL example may be clouding my interpretation, but I saw it more as a positive step than a sign he's close to an in-ring return. I mean while everyone else jumped on the apron, Cole carefully went up the stairs, I'd be shocked if he's wrestling by Wembley still.

Assuming still its all a work, I enjoy these comments from Ospreay: I like it because he has probably been doing the move too much so now he has a reason to "retire" it, plus now if he needs a super finisher in six months or a year he has it in his back pocket as the move that always wins for him. Good stuff.

I thought Jericho/Hook was a solid ** match. Making it plunder-based was the right way to go as it helped cover for Jericho's speed and Hook's lack of experience. Jericho was having some decent matches not that long ago so I haven't "given up" on him like many on the Internet. Since he won't take a break, I am hoping this FTW storyline rejuvenates him a bit as to me his main issue the last few months is he's just kinda been floating around with no storyline and that lack of interest has bled over into his matches. I don't mind "old wrestler that can't let go and thinks he is awesome even though he isn't" as a character but they need to be smarter about his opponents/match types or no one will be interested.

That crowd was amazing, I had no idea St. Louis was capable of such a thing but it was the best crowd I've heard in a long time. They had unique chants but always about what was happening in the ring, not to put themselves over, and were involved in every match. The matches were great, no doubt, but having a hot crowd always helps and they were into it start to finish. Good job, crowd.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for Arisa Nakajima, as due to when she peaked I don't think she gets the recognition today that she deserves. Unfortunately, she was the best wrestler in a smaller promotion for many years before streaming was used by smaller promotions (JWP), and since leaving JWP and Joshi got easier to watch, she kept a pretty light schedule as she hasn't topped 50 matches in a year since 2016. I guess she'll probably be best remembered by Western fans for her tag team with Fujimoto (which was excellent of course) but her matches with Kana were so, so good. I do think in-ring she's one of the most talented Joshi wrestlers of the last 15 years, easily in my Top 10. But I'm always glad when wrestlers can retire on their own terms, maybe her last injury scared her a bit and she decided to hang it up.

I don't watch WWE weekly TV so I can't comment on the show content, but I do see clips on Twitter and while I think on one hand the 'Kevin Dunn is gone so WWE is better' line of thinking is focused on too much, on the other hand it is indeed so much more watchable without his methods. I love the 'backstage to stage' shots, the one-take shots in the back, all of it. Presentation is so important and while I knew I didn't like Dunn's style, the changes are just so obvious that I do feel they deserve credit. Whoever they hired in his place is making much better decisions, I thought at WM they missed a few spots which will happen in wrestling but overall its night and day.

I think they made Bucks/FTR a ladder match so that FTR can more easily lose via shenanigans without taking a pinfall loss. Not that I've ever gotten the impression that FTR refuses to take pins, far from it, but it will give the rematch an easier justification and maybe will make the anti-Bucks people more chill as grabbing titles from a ladder has always felt like less of a direct loss than pinning someone. Anyway, I assume Jack Perry makes his return to help The Young Bucks win.

Keep in mind it is pronounced MA-ruh-gowld, not MEH·ruh·gowld. Say it wrong and GIulia will get ya.
