So WWE is sending contracted Wrestlers to a GCW show:

This is NOT fake: And apparently she's not the only WWE signed wrestler working Bloodsport

Orange Cassidy = OC = Opening Contest.

The thing about Ratings talk is, we have a Ratings thread, where people who want to talk about ratings can do it, without bogging down the main TV and General threads with their nonsense. The last time anyone posted in it was like two months ago, but it's there.

She still does a few weekend indie bookings too. Fewer than she had been previously, but she's not stopped.

The current power brokers grew up in an era where commentators were instructed to ignore what was happening in the ring in favour of shilling the fact that Hulk Hogan would be out for the main event, and hated it. Tony Schiavone hated his job, at that time.

We don't talk about Bruno ratings.

Oz Academy, 28th August 2020: MAYUMI OZAKI vs SAORI ANOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw-hNdYsgX8

This year's Forbidden Door is AEW, NJPW, CMLL and Stardom. So hopefully lots of trios tags or a whole lot of people aren't making the card.

The security guard that got kicked off the stage was Bryce Donovan, Chick Donovan's grandson.

So I downloaded FaceApp and some stuff happened.

AEW, very inclusive of strongly regional British accents.

As smart *as*

It just goes to show, most wrestlers think of wrestling fans as people who would never understand a woman's body in that way.

Watching a show from a couple of weeks ago, before the PPV, and I've just noticed, Kris Statlander is wrestling with knee wraps but no knee braces any more. That's a good sign for the career longevity.

Why on earth would she tweet such a thing, on a day like today?

Wouldn't it be ironic, if it turned out that watching all of those AEW shows was what made Danielson want to make the jump?

We live in frustrating times.

My fantasy booking is that The Acclaimed defend their trios titles against The Elite (Billy Gunn vs Okada!), lose and do a soft split. Caster can feud with Keith Lee or some other big guys, and work a loudmouth antagonist gimmick. Bowens can win a ton of matches and get a World title shot on PPV (against World Champ Swerve Strickland, because it would mean a lot to a lot of people to have a black World champion defend against a black challenger, and to have a gay man vying to be top dog in the company). And Billy Gunn can have a quiet few months or go back to his semi-retired manager gig that he had before the trios thing took off.

Get well soon Mark Coleman. He's hospitalised having saved his parents (and dog) from a house fire. https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1767656021395116206

Bear Country are a comedy act just now, not a couple of brawny brutish thugs. But then, they're only one angle away from being those beefy bastards again.

Raven was jacked as hell though. Tommy Dreamer, ECW fans hated him when he'd wrestle shirtless with the suspenders, but as soon as he started wearing a shirt, suddenly they accepted him.

There's a time honoured tradition in Wrestling, of using promo photos of veterans that are as old as possible. Joey Janela managed by Missy Hyatt from 1986 apparently.
