Kevin Dunn needs hoofed into a meat grinder.
The amount of times they actively miss stuff because of his insistence on jumping is unreal.
He should have been punted for missing Edge's first spear back in the Rumble.
I unintentionally tuned in to watch Raw to see the legends were back, Randy Orton portraying the Legend Killer again (kind of) but I fell asleep. What's the crack with Mark Henry? Is his leg legit fucked?

Probably just had surgery on his ankle/foot and would rather use a scooter than crutches.
Fair enough. Just seeing him reminded took me back a little and his stints. To go from a nobody in the NoD, to a relative joke in Sexual Chocolate then a bonafide main-eventer with the Hall of Pain stuff, probably one of my favourites at that point. I liked the character.
Looking back at the thread, did HHH actually return, Mahow?
He wasn't a nobody in NoD, although it was clearly a faction to push Farooq and then later The Rock. He was hyped quite a bit just before the Nation stuff too because of his Strongman career.
He did. I didn't watch it but they had a Street Fight, Triple H's sledgehammer caught on fire then the lights went out. When they came back on HHH was gone and Alexa Bliss then threw a fireball into Randy's eyes...
It was barely even a street fight, there was no ref it was just a very brief brawl and then sledgehammer stuff happened which was shite but I did genuinely laugh at. I assume that wasn't the desired reaction.
Also I watched NXT over the weekend the debut of MSK / The Rascalz was WWE's usual weirdness in terms of how they spoke about them. But they were talking up MSK's debut as if it was this big shock thing but as per didn't acknowledge any of their non-WWE work. So they're talking about them like they're this big exciting debut and that they totally know who they are but not from where or why, because of course they've changed the names for no reason.
Still, they seemed fun in that debut match. MSK vs. Grizzled Young Veterans final could be fun if they go down that route which seems like they might.
@Disco
Latest Goto promo he talks about Jay White. Chances of him going back to CHAOS?
I feel like this prepping for a face turn rather than him leaving, it's talked about a lot on comms and they're advertising him for future shows. Probably for the best, there's a few too many chiefs in BC at the moment.
Evil and Dick Togo ruined it.
Kenny wearing a Bullet Club shirt to an Impact ring is bonkers.
That has to be some kind of collaboration, NJ lawyers are normally super hot on protecting their IP (rip Showbuckle and his really good fued summary videos) so for them to do that on TV suggests something is going on.
Ibushi v Omega
The price of that Hogan photo on QM this week...
Unsigned too.
Quite aside from how untidy the actual bump is (I assume she's meant to take more of the bump on her arse?) that's a bit like the Red Arrow insofar as my brain can't quite parse the string of movements that makes that happen.

I've not checked any of their stuff out yet.
Is it quite visual or would it work as a listen along while I work?
You could get away with listening.
There's a 2001 Rumble one popped up on my suggested Youtube videos so I might give that a bash.
The bloke who does all the videos is easily the best at what he does. IMO
His monday night war series is a cracker.
The Network(only $9.99!) is done. To be shut down in the USA at the very least after Vince sold it off.
That doesnt sound good.
Getting $1B for 5 years sounds great to Vince.
He is cashing out and retiring?
Considering he sells TV rights for similar numbers frequently, no chance (in hell).
I hope Trump gets another run.
Roman's dropping the belt to him at SummerSlam.
I would buy all the merch.
Given that the network constituted a massive reduction in PPV revenue this is not that surprising.
I wonder what they'll do with other countries.
I would hope they keep the Network up but they could always fold it and go back to PPV only.
I wonder what happens to the archive, if you live in the states then I can't see (whoever has bought the online rights) giving much of a shit about it. Which is a shame for anyone wanting to watch older stuff.
Tony Kahn buying the library would be killer invasion angle.
He would too, he could also probably recite every fucking episode the little autist.
Everything on the Network will move over to Peacock.
Heel Kahn on Impact is amusing.
RIP Dana.
She had so much time to sort herself out.
I wonder if he means scary as in physically dangerous or scary is in "Why the fuck are they having Jinder win?"
I hope it’s everyone gets eliminated and number 30 (Brock) wins without getting in the ring.
I don't think vanilla WWE booking would count as 'scary.'
I did read that they intend to reveal the first two and final entrants on some talk show thing before the Rumble. Have I been misled or do they just not give a shit anymore?
They probably consider Fox ratings more important than PPV viewers these days, especially now they've already rinsed NBC for Network rights.
Why are AEW having Shaquille O'Neal in a match? Does that sort of "get a random celeb in" do much to shift the ratings these days? Especially given it's not exactly comparable to when WWE got Tyson or Arnie, is it?
I would say it’s pretty comparable to when WWE used Shaq.
Oh, is 'setting up Big Show vs. Shaqulle O'Neal' the level AEW have been aiming for all along and I just misunderstood?
Shaq is on the same channel with the NBA. They are doing some good old fashioned cross promoting
If he's having to work with a lumbering former basketball player Cody should go the whole hog and wrestle as Stardust for the night.
Maybe he should have Snoop as a tag partner.
