Agree with Jey, it felt like he should have been the last one to join who finally makes the big difference (which I say cause unlike WWE, I haven’t forgotten about the fact that they also signed Hikuleo lmao)

I imagine they are saving him for Survivor Series/War Games… OG Bloodline with Sami vs. Solo Bloodline with Solo winning thanks to Talla Tonga.

Kind of was hoping Will would come out of the stall and smash his head into the mirror.

Randy and Triple H were great there, it went a little longer than I’d like but it was good stuff to me.

I don’t want the COO, I want the Cerebral Assassin who carried a sledgehammer everywhere he went, wore leather jackets knocked down my front door and tossed me out my dining room window… I love that the characters can show they remember the past now.

Edit: Shows ending and I have some critiques… Jeys rejoining Roman is happening too fast and easy, like this is rushed. And holy fuck MCMG just got here and are the champs. Triple H liked him some TNA.

Edit 2: I’m kind of fucking pissed about Andrade and Carmelo’s so called “Best of Seven” series… L.A. Knight turning on both of them and making it a triple threat in Saudiland is embarassing and trash booking that wasted weeks of my time.

They should have ended after the 3rd one, after that it started getting paired with Rampage, then Collision, and nothing ever happened on them after that 3rd one that I can remember.

It’s got the hallmarks of being an afterthought because the person pushing for it left… Collision is way different now without Punk to the point I rarely bother and just hit up recaps and Dynamite, where before I thought it was better than Dynamite. Clash of the Champions… I mean Battle of the Belts seemed to me to be a Cody thing, because Cody loves him some Dusty throwback stuff and it seemed to be not worth the effort once he left.

Also it was named poorly, Battle of the Belts always implied to my mind that Champions would be facing each other… ultimately this would have been the best use of all those ROH belts… AEW Champ vs ROH Champ, live this Saturday at 8, only on Battle of the Belts…

Did you eat them anyway… because the obvious answer was to make them into dipped chocolate cookies, melt the chocolate in a sauce pan with a little butter and dip the cookies into it to coat the tops.

I always expected this to happen, PBR was originally rumored to be in the Group but Vince hated the idea, again it was a rumor I read, not necessarily true.

Endeavor, the controlling party of TKO already, is “selling” some of their assets to TKO in exchange for even more stock… it’s classic hedge fund/venture capitalist/private equity move the money around bullshit. Expect to see more layoffs across the companies for “synergy” reasons and don’t be surprised if one of the companies gets loaded up with debt from some of the others and sold off or shut down later.

Bullshit… Bullshit… Bullshit… Bulldog…

I guess he’s nothing like Will then…

The Ring Boy Scandal hit the news in 1992, Nick Khan and Triple H would have been in their late teens to early 20s at the time this all took place and didn’t even have anything to do with The WWF at the time.

I’m open to seeing where this goes, but this feels like ambulance chasing to latch onto what’s happening with the Grant case.

EDIT: I’m going to walk some of that back… reading the full 82 page complaint they’ve done their homework, it’s a lot of bringing up podcasts, stories from wrestlers, and other complaints against McMahon, but generally they rehash the scandal well and present a coherent case. We’ll see where this goes.

Does WWE not have access to the UFC translators? This seems like a really good time to have some on the payroll.

Great adulting Mr. Cole, too many people can’t seem to handle that part after a breakup. Basically he says they still like each other they just weren’t compatible as a couple.

I imagine if he could, he’d go back and either not say the part about doing the move alone or not mention the move at all though. Going through a breakup is hard enough, but to do it with a million or so keyboard warriors watching, sheesh.

WWE should have HR talk to him, maybe have a company wide meeting about it and explain this is how you end up getting completely scripted again. If Damage CTRL, even just one member, was upset by this, he should receive some form of needing to complete a training course or suspension.

Watching the clip, I think it’s more in line with his character being an idiot. I can see why some people are upset by it, but some of the commentary around this has been insane, the man doesn’t deserve to be fired for doing something millions of people across the globe do every day. He needs to be informed it’s unacceptable and why it was unacceptable and then he should face hard repercussions if it happens again.

Casual racism like this is ingrained in most communities at least throughout the USA, Reddit’s discussion on this says it’s everywhere, and it’s hard to break, in my area most people still call every Latino person Mexican and very few people will call it out and I live in one of the most diverse counties in our state. Basically humans suck and stomping out micro-aggression’s like this is hard.

still meant Irvin was on the road away from her daughter.

Reason enough right there, I can’t imagine being on the road that much with a young child at home.

WWE owns the trademark on the Samantha Irvin name,

She could technically use it for music or whatever, WWE trademarks are typically listed as being specifically for the Sports Entertainment/Wrestling category.

Note: Samantha says she told WWE she was leaving months ago.

This is much more reasonable than the idea she just suddenly quit, especially for somebody that clearly seemed to love their job and the industry.

For the MANY of you who have asked, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources within the company that ring announcer Samantha Irvin resigned from her position.

Irvin quit the company. We are told WWE was made aware earlier today.

It was not a case of her being released.

As far as why Irvin opted to exit the company, that still has yet to be confirmed.

Interesting, apparently she quit.

Sure… it’s not like at this point it should be clear that you can’t trust anybody in this carny profession.

At this point it’s clear you can’t trust what any of these carnies say on the internet.

Edit: Man I just read that back… I think it’s more clear now with less words.

Hey, not even mosquitos are as bad as Disco, how dare you compare Vampires to that guy.

Fuck You! Ricochet.

That’s mostly but not completely a joke before anyone gets out of sorts.

Seriously, this blows, she’s not Howard Finkle but she’s on his level like no one was before.

Endeavor/Silver Lake/TKO care more about money than the WWE teams feelings, even if WWE were pissed, what Endeavor wants is all that matters.

He’s an old white guy from Texas who espouses the worst of “old school” motorcycle culture… don’t be shocked. Jericho, Kane, probably a dozen or more of your favorites from years past and even now will disappoint you if you know their politics. Enjoy the characters, the people behind them are going to be disappointments.
