This is a shitty situation all around but I can’t fault Temple here.

That’s a good point. RAW’s “Guest GM” era shows how overly pandering to the mainstream can result in disaster.

For anyone else whose mind was blown by this, I highly recommend watching “Valley Uprising” on Netflix. It shows the progression of climbing El Cap and the journey from it becoming a multiple day climb using tons of equipment to this current era.

This is true of WWF’s national expansion in 80's killing off regional promotions but since then his two biggest adversaries were WCW and public perception.

True. But the mentality of “Sports Entertainment” has trickled down to the mainstream. As Bix said in a previous article, most people (outside of trolls) don’t chime in saying “You know it’s fake right?”.

For as much as we drag on Vince for forcing phrases as “Sports Entertainment” and “WWE Universe”, its that kind of vision that now has WWE making more money in five years than what the entire industry of professional wrestling has made in its entire existence.

I think WWE’s new TV deals will end up being a boon to the WWE network.

This is all a set up to the ultimate heartbreak for Caps fans:

This is precisely why they make you put your phone in “airplane mode”.

Eh, don’t sweat it, Barry. You could have been Drew.

“Consumer Reports doesn’t know what they’re talking about!”

That would 100% be the case but the one wrinkle in this if per the collecting bargaining agreement between the owners and the players, if the owners are ever proved to have committed an act of collusion, the CBA gets nullified immediately and a new deal must be negotiated.

Is Smackdown continues to be a live show, now that it’s on FOX I could see it ending up being the “A” show.

Meltzer is also claiming to have a tape of this match.

Ummm. Does anyone else have a problem that (I’m assuming) a WHITE MAN is taking up a mantle for Latinx people by subjecting this piece shit lawyer to stereotypes other white people have about Latin culture?

I find his discomfort intensely satisfying. I’ll remember this when he gives out his “sorry to those I offended” bs apology.

I can’t speak for ROH but NJPW didn’t bet “All In” on themselves with their first set of shows in Long Beach. Those tickets sold out so quickly that they could have been within reach of 10,000.

Big Cass WISHES he had a theme song as amazing as Test’s.

The finish was awful. Yet, I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s pro-wrestling at its dumb, amazing, finest.

This was a fucking experience. The first scene really set the stakes high that was felt throughout the movie into to an ending the left the audience in stunned silence.
