I think we had a conversation a while back about people saying Sterling was the greatest Bantamweight and how we may not have seen the greatest yet. His name is Merab Dvalishvili.

Anthony fucking Hernandez was not going to be denied. Absolutely relentless performance.

Dern/Lemos was a really good fight. Dern's so damn tough. Never looked dejected or down on herself despite getting really pieced up in the second, to the point I was surprised Beltran didn't stop it. Thought Dern won the first and the third. Though Round two could've probably been a 10-8 for Lemos, so I was thinking a Draw.

Yeah Danny Barlow might be some one worth keeping an eye on. Zhang Mingyang looks like he's going to be one of those crazy phone booth fighters that could be more entertaining than successful over time.

Was looking back at last year's Rolling Stone Article about the Ring Boy Scandal, and I thought this final moment sounded very familiar to how Vince "allegedly" spoke with Ashley Masaro and Janel Grant: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/ringmaster-vince-mcmahon-excerpt-1234696067/

Finished Zom 100 Bucket List of the Dead last night. GREAT show. The main character is a genuinely great hero, who defeats antagonists with empathy and understanding. Some great comedy, art, and wacky ideas. Highly recommend. Also a few episodes away from finishing the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen. It's a mixed bag. Some days I'm really into it and others I'm a little indifferent. That may be more me being busy while watching some of the episodes.

Well it's Drew so I'll allow it. That guy is absolutely crushing it. That guy was booked to put over Seth's title reign, and yet he's some how gotten to the point where seeing him face Seth AGAIN, at Mania no less, is one of the best options on the table.

On the subject of Seth - I thought he did the absolute best he could despite the situation. Once the conversation started building to the Rock's entrance, he couldn't really defend himself or say anything important on the microphone because the "scene" wasn't really about him. So he tried to be a stand up guy that fans could defend as being a great champion. When Roman was picking Rock as his opponent, Rollins took offense because that wasn't how it worked. The Rumble winner, picks - and of course Rollins wanted to be the one to be picked. And when Rock slapped Cody, and they dragged Rhodes away, Seth stood up to both of them because Rock/Roman working together is a bigger problem kayfabe wise for wrestlers. And as the architect and visionary he is, he sees it. FAN THEORY I think they're running the Mike Tyson angle from Austin vs. HBK. I was actually fantasy booking this story when Rock did the "Head of the Table" line last month. I think Rock works with Roman all the way to Mania, and then turns on him to help Cody get the win.

That shit was awesome. They said, "Just because you're on the board, doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want." Rock said, "That's exactly what it means." So that is probably how we clarify Cody bringing the Rock out on Friday night. Board Member Rock had a convo with Cody the Company Man, and said this is what was best for business. Cody stepped aside, and then the fans made him realize, as he put it, "This is bullshit." And I'm glad. Similar to how people responded to Becky Lynch finally standing up for herself when she became The Man, Cody is at his best when he's fighting back. I think reactions will be mixed all the way through Wrestlemania. Rocky Sucks in one town, Cody Sucks in another. And I don't think it's going to matter. Based on the Rock slipping on the heel shoes last night, it could be an incredible ride.

I honestly couldn't watch the clip I posted. I was just going off my memory. I remembered a bucket and I thought there was a fried chicken place.

I was a massive Masters of the Universe fan growing up. I could not wait to see this movie. All those images they're using on the supplemental gimmicks for that Bluray set are amazing, and remind me of what I hoped that movie was going to be when it originally came out. It also reminds me of how fucking disappointed I was when they ended up on earth eating fried chicken.

Is there a good place for trading blurays? Not selling, but "honest to goodness, you give me one I give you one?"

I think if they want to keep Cody from looking like a doof for giving up the Reigns match in the first place, he could cut a promo saying "I thought I was giving the people what they wanted. The People's Champ. But if you want me vs. Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania then the people have spoken." Something like that. But with more words like "abundantly" and "apropos".

There were rumors of Rock vs. Roman night one and Roman vs. Cody Night two, months ago. So I'd imagine that has to be a potential plan. It doesn't really matter what Cody said, because he made it clear after the Rumble he was going for Roman and here we are, so pivoting back and forth isn't an issue. Punk said during their little pre Rumble promo battle that Cody was going to have some returning star take his spot at Mania. Of course Punk meant himself, but regardless it's clear that WWE is aware of the optics. I truly just want to see Cody beat Roman. That's it. I just want to see that moment.

Look at Molly McCann droppin wait and snapping arms. Sounds like a different person too.

Let's make sure not fall down the rabbit hole of "who did something on TV and how does it reflect their own kink/deviancy/personality." I know the lines in wrestling and reality can be very blurred, and the Vince stuff has opened up this door of reinterpreting events as possible veiled sexual exhibitionisms. And I imagine some of it is probably true. But sometimes people do stuff on TV because they're performers and that's what they were paid to do. And sometimes people are fired because they suck at their job. No need to invent victims.

Roger Clemens and Cedric the Entertainer should probably start a support group for folks affected by Hurricane Katt Williams.

Wonder if that stock sell off back in November, when Vince got $670 million for 8.4 million of his shares is going to come back up in all of this. That felt weird when it happened.

Love to see a co-defendant step away from the other and say "It was his fucking idea." Some other folks with way more knowledge can answer this but doesn't this make it harder for Vince and Co to settle before this goes to trial? If a co-defendant is basically saying "Yeah that happened and I'm a victim too-" why would plaintiff want to take a settlement?

I just watched the trailer a couple of hours ago, and will probably add it to my order. Fucking skeezy clown.

Not funny, but when I read Madusa's tweet, it took me several reads to realize she was saying H-Bomb or some shit like H-Bomb in people's food. But what's sad is that I read it as H-Bomb or "literal actual shit" and thought that sounded right too. What have we become?

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

I expected Hunter to be vague, but I was surprised at how much lamer he handled it. Like he could've said "it's fluid we're still sorting things out, so I can't comment on specifics now." Instead he was like "guys this week was amazing."

I mean I get it with Slim Jim hopping back on. They probably have a very surface level understanding of - "According to the internet, that guy is the bad guy right? Make him gone and we're good." It's a low bar to jump over, but at least they were willing to do it. The rest of us are, understandably, like that It's Always Sunny gif of Charlie and the Conspiracy Board yelling "You don't know how deep this runs Slim Jim!" I'm glad Vince is being taken out. I can't overlook the small victories. But, like many of you, I need a little more. But that will have to come from someone else, and it's not some company who was just trying to get their product in front of some eyeballs. It needs to be a human being, and I know there's one somewhere in that fucking shit hole, and I just wish they'd say any thing.
