COVID fucked him and he's like working with a mattress these days.
Getting called up to RAW (and then cut) seems to have ruined him.
Getting called up to Raw and then being called fucking Bearcat and stuck in a leotard because Vince is a demented old halfwit is what ruined him in WWE.
He never recovered from it though.
Chad Gable losing clean to Bronson Reed. Shambles.
Rumours are that WWE have made an offer to Ronaldo to appear/fight at the next Saudi show :lol:
Can’t wait to hear Cole fumble his way through a scripted hype of world renowned soccer superstar.
He'll also have to claim Al-Nassr are one of the best "soccer" clubs in the world.
Less of the Cole slander. He’s been great ever since Vince fucked off.
Noam Dar turned into Damian Priest/Razor Ramon last night :D
Edit:
A Cuban Neo. What a bizarre gimmick.
He's just havana laugh.
The network app is updated on PS5 and my word it's an absolute shitshow. It was ropey before but at least you could do basic things like find what you want without having to search by name/title and hope it's one of the first search results out of 100s, now if it's not on the main splash page you're not seeing it. I'll just pirate the midsouth stuff instead now

Some properly stupid shit from AEW last night.
Moxley gets concussed. Match carries on. Fenix hits a piledriver on Moxley. Moxley is supposed to kick out but doesn't because he's away with the fairies. Idiot bald ref Knox stops the count anyway. So Fenix picks Moxley back up and gives him ANOTHER PILEDRIVER. Knox counts three this time, killing the moment.
- Ref breaks kayfabe.
- Potential big pop for title change deflated.
- Moxley takes two piledrivers post concussion.
- Meltzer reports the concussion as "light" despite Moxley being less aware of where he was than Brock at WM19.
Referee needs firing. Negligent at best.
Grim.
Fenix needs fucking reprimanding for going along with it and hitting a fucking second Emerald Flowsion piledriver on a concussed guy. Insane.
Yeah that beggars belief that they did a second one.
Mustafa Ali been released. He’ll be on AEW throwing digs at WWE every other week no doubt
Elias is walking too
And Ziggler. Offfft. Now he will definitely be crying about WWE if he signs for AEW
Mustafa Ali is super talented and shouldn't go near AEW at this stage because he'll just get lost in the mix.
Ziggler should have left of his own accord years ago.
The release I'm most surprised about is Riddick Moss. I feel they could have made him really big.
Ali too obviously but it was clear he wasn't happy and wanted to leave for a while. Super talented though.
Thank fuck Hit Row is dead now though, it was great with Swerve but it was horrendous without him.
Are the other Hit Row people being kept or is he just part of the first wave of releases? Shelton Benjamin's great but I had no idea he was nearly 50, could see him training people up
Unknown.
I think Ashante Adonis could be special but B-Fab offers nothing really. I suppose they could make her his manager.
Mace and Mansoor cut now and some random woman from NXT.
Surprised they cut Mansoor as a Saudi show is around the corner.
Edit: Dana Brooke finally gone too!
Edit: Babatunde too :( My Polish giant thrown away.
I have no idea who the majority of these people getting released are. Based on that, the correct decisions are being made. Had a lol at Emma tweeting about WWE being announced for Australia being a dream come true for her to be released 10 mins later lol
Stoner Bro and his lack of shoes also sent packing.
UFC and Riddle never got on. Guess we know who the real boss is now.
No loss in my opinion. Guy looks ridiculous with his Y-fronts and no pads/shoes.
In NXT he was bad gimmick (or just him being a dumbass) but great when he was just in the ring for 15 minutes with somebody else who could go. WWE main roster writers just buried him ("What's this guys gimmick?" "Well I've heard he smokes and wears flip flops" "Done! Lunch?") and barely let him do proper matches so no huge surprise. Obviously while nothing was proved yet (did he pay the woman/women off in the end? Or did the story just conveniently go away?) he was a bit iffy on that front too.
What a shame that probably his best WWE match was against Velveteen Dream.
I understand the Seth Rollins gimmick is 'wear clothes that are embarrassing even for a wrestler' but those orthopaedic spats he had on Raw were something else.
They better not be breaking up Imperium.
They seem to have been teasing that on and off for ages so I'm a little worried they'll do it sooner or later.
Raw looked pretty good last night. Aside from maybe the same start and ending every week lol. Just turn Owens heel already.
I wouldn't be too heartbroken. Yes they're good but Vinci and Kaiser are just jobbers in their current role. It would be nice to see them get some wins and a little push and in WWE world that means not being seconds for a top star.Quote:

Could see them getting behind Kaiser as he's got a proper snooty foreigner thing going one, Vinci's just the Gymini's little cousin who stands about with an impeccable beard and not much else.
Dunno if you've watched much/any of it yet but it was a fun show.Quote:

Unless last night was an outlier but him and Dom had a good match and Lee looks great.
Just caught up on the GRAND SLAMS. lol at Mox.
Was he meant to retain?
Dragon Lee has great. One of the real bright spots of current NXT.Quote:

Jade Cargill has signed for WWE.
Keep her away from Nia.
Starks vs Danielson was good, although I see the latter has been taking tips from Moxley about blading in plain sight IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING.
The crowd spot was fun.
I’ve zero hype for Wrestle dream, but it’s an AEW PPV so I know it’ll be an absolute banger. :cool:
I love Starks and Danielson but I thought it was pretty lame. Modern hardcore matches are crap and as you mention, the obvious blade was bad. I feel like my return to Collision will be a short lived one. So far for this week they're advertising Andrade vs. Juice, which would be good usually, but a week after Andrade vs. White (the stable leader), it's obvious they're building feuds back to front again and the blowoff will be some shit multi-man match so why should I care? The other advertised match is Best Friends and fuck that.
The card for Dynamite last night looks horrendous. Two multi-man matches that are so random you'd think Tony booked it on Total Extreme Wrestling just to get a high score. And Jarrett doesn't need to be in singles title matches in 2023.
On the plus side, they're pushing Julia Hart.
Starks will join WWE soon enough.
Starks is fucking money. I was a bit wary when they switched him heel because he was a really good underdog babyface but man he's really hit it out of the park since the turn, even if his booking is sketchy. No wonder he was grateful to Punk because that eight weeks or so on Collision was his most consistent booking ever.
I did think it was strange that Ali was named number 1 contender for the NXT NA title and then was fired.
