With McMahon still being majority share owner Iām skeptical weāll see any drastic changes in on screen programming because you know heās gonna leverage that . The only thing that would convince me otherwise if they FINALLY get rid of Kevin Dunn.

Is Mikaze still with the company? If he so, that means both Sasha and Naomiās husbands are still collecting WWE checks. Could be some awkward company family functions during Mania weekend.

Yeah, it wouldn't really be any different than the Lucha Underground contract dispute. The main difference is that Sasha and Naomi technically owe the WWE performances. Lucha underground wrestlers where not in breach of contract they just couldn't perform cause there wasn't a place to air the wrestling... Sasha and Naomi can fulfill their contract the just choose not to . Thereās also the possibility that theyāve already met all their contractual dates if rumors that their contracts are up soon are true. I remember a few instances (based on books and interviews) where Hart, Austin, Punk etc. had met all there minimum required dates before their contracts expired and still worked past them. Heck Jeff Jarrett and Adam Cole had to sign a short term deals cause of that before they left the company.

Lost in all of this, is there a "locker room leader" like all those stories about Undertaker during the 90s and 00s? Is there someone in that locker room who would tape up their fists if they supposedly didn't want to do the job and wouldn't do business? Or are we thankfully at least past that point today? The wrestling industryās version of talent leadership is completely upside down to whatās it like for other industries. Instead of advocating for fellow talent against management, they instead act as an extension of management to keep other talent in line. Itās like if the President of Players union of a sports league was deliberately undercutting the player they represent at the behest of Franchise owners. Situations like this is where the ālocker room leaderā should be going to bat for talent, but instead they are (as per usual) silent. This is especially bad since wrestlers have no union (and will never will because these so-called leaders will rat out or bully the ātroublemakersā). Thatās why I get annoyed when a wrestler proclaim themselves a locker room leader because what they really saying it that they are a company stooge.

Itās not uncommon for wrestlers to have a display of belts theyāve won over the years in their homes. Something Iāve always wondered was if the belts were the same replicas that fans buy or if the they were legit expensive replicas of the actual belts? Also are wrestlers having to put a deposit down for their belts still a thing?

There is one thing Iāll say with Charlotte in regards to her ego and people comparing her to Tessa Blanchard. Like thereās a huge difference between āhaving an egoā and āI said racist things and tried to blackball people from wrestlingā Well there was that one time she was pulled over by a cop and referred to him with a racial slur. Soā¦

No wonder so many wrestlers game these days, since apparently, wrestlers get real bored and rowdy on long flights and turn into dumb assholes. Some gameboys would have saved some careers. āHey, yo, I just caught this legendary PokĆ©mang without needing to use my Master Ball, score one for the bad guy.ā You made me spit out my beverage kind sir lmao š. Scott Hall: PokĆ©mon Trainer is the greatest thing to come out of this thread š¤£

So many people failed Zelina during this show. Whether it be Vince or Prichard who made the call to cut the match, the wrestlers who went way over during their segment, or her other co-workers whom didnāt speak up on her behalf and offer to shorten their own segments to accommodate. Itās funny when people who will label themselves as leaders in the locker room wonāt even lift a finger to speak up to management about something so obvious and egregious. A lot people in that office AND locker room should be ashamed of themselves.

Because FOX. And maybe because husband. Oh that makes sense. I may not agree with it but when you factor those variables and Vince appeasing folks itās a logical guess. Thatās got to suck for Bianca. Total collateral damage. To go from being likely scheduled to beat Sasha again to dropping the belt to Becky with no notice? Then if she turns around and feuds with Becky, having to turn heel, and burn all that good will after working for months to get over as face? A program that will likely be lopsided in favor of Becky? Yikes š¬

I mean isnāt the Raw division that needs more depth? Isnāt that the title that she had last held and didnāt lose? Why knee cap Bianca when sheās over as a face while Nikki ASH is getting mixed reactions? Smackdown still had plenty of women that couldāve stepped in for Sasha.

If she's anti-vax and she wasn't cleared to compete but it's not an injury there seems to be a fairly high chance it's the obvious answer. I mean maybe not, but put those things together and it's hard NOT to assume. Thatās pretty much what I assumed as well. This latest of strain of the virus is no joke even when vaccinated, so it be unlikely sheād be cleared in time if she caught it recently. Assuming a no show is kinda jumping to conclusions IMO

If the Suns go into the NBA finals and their opponent has a major player who is out due to injury then, I swear they have voodoo dolls in their lockers. Every team theyāve faced in the playoffs has had major injuries. 1st Round: Lakers lose AD 2nd Round: Nuggets without Murray 3rd Round: Clippers lose Kawhi Hopefully if they do make to the finals that theyāll face a team at full strength for ONCE.

Funny thing is: all it would take to scrap this policy is if Rousey simply said āIām not gonna re-sign if you donāt drop this ruleā and watch how quickly they change it. Hell are they gonna fire her friends over it? This is where top talents need to flex their power. If Rollins wants to be āthe locker room leaderā then he needs to stand by talent and not management, same with Regins and Champa. Heāll if I was AJ, I would just laugh it off and continue streaming. āYou gonna fire one of your top consistent draws during a time when company revenue is trending downward? Lol FOHā

Considering that quality hot tea is a hallmark of British culture, is iced tea considered blasphemous in the UK?

If I had to pick one person that physically embodied every thing great about wrestling, Iād pick Randy Savage.
