Yeah this might be the most one sided rap beef of all time. Kendrick smoked the boy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a whole album’s worth of content to aim at Drake One of the funny parts is that Drake still put out Family Matters which is probably his best in god knows how long. Yet it won't matter because he's getting multiple different styles of rap and dirt thrown on his grave with more coming. Kendrick literally brought out the best in the dude and he's still cooked. And yesterday Kendrick has us stepping in the name of hate!

Not actors, but 'Cast Away' and 'What Lies Beneath' had 100% the exact same crew as Tom Hanks required time to lose the weight in the middle of 'Cast Away' so, in order to keep the crew together, they just made a whole ass additional movie.

I don’t have a horse in the race, but Drake is right about Kendrick having a pretentious streak and I did get a chuckle when he talked about K Dot always “rapping like he’s about to set to set the slaves free.” How everyone is ignoring the shit about the domestic violence allegations is crazy too…but something has always felt “off” bout K-Dot… Because the one and only source from the domestic violence allegations is a post on gossip messageboard Lipstick Alley. SO much bullshit goes up on their unchecked as "the tea." Given that's the only source, it carries as much weigh as the Tom Hanks child trafficking "Allegations." That said, Kendrick working so closely with Kodak Black has always sat wrong with me and frankly made his last album unlistenable to my ears, but there's nothing to what Drake is talking about here regarding "allegations."

I’m not 100 percent on what line you mean, but if it’s the one near the end about “Family Matters” and “God’s Plan” it is literally just Kendrick taking a shot at Drake using 2 of Drake’s own song titles. The former being the title of Drake’s most recent diss on Kendrick. Nah i wasn’t talking about that. I was talking about “You’re not a colleague, you’re a …” Oh, that's got nothing to do with world events. That's specifically an Atlanta critique of Drake the same way it was a Houston critique of him when he did the same thing years ago and the Toronto battle scene years before that. Drake went into a city that was on an absolute hot streak in hip-hop, worked with every single artist he could to help his image in every facet and corner of the game so he could get a level of credibility and shine, and once he was seen as part of/affiliated with that getting what he wanted out of it, he moved on to another city/scene to obsess over. Hence "colleague" vs "colonizer," on top of the alliteration, Drake is essentially manefest destinying himself into taking the most coveted resources out of music hotbeds and then leaving without contributing back in any way. I can see how your misinterpretation may have happened, but that's 100% not his intent.

I hope "Heaven or Las Vegas" by The Cocteau Twins ends up being the WM 41 theme. Though it will probably end up being something by The Weekend again. The Weeknd's going to cover it.

Or, hey, here's a rundown but really you can just listen from 4/30's "Euphoria" onward to get the best parts -

In 2013 when Wrestlemania was in "The shadow of New York City" (aka New Jersey), the big three story candy store Dylan's Candy Bar made their Easter display all wrestling-adjacent, complete with a sunglasses-wearing easter egg wearing a championship belt that read "WWEgg"

Language warning TW: Child sexual assault allegations
Song absolutely rules. After the ominous destruction yesterday, Kendrick is pimp strutting like Suga Free over Drake's grave right now. On first listen, the line at 1:06 made me scream, it's just set up so masterfully in terms of rhyme structure and flow wise but still feels like a great surprise. On third listen, that Atlanta scheme at the end is the highlight for me, absolute masterful work.
Kendrick's going to win another Pultizer, this time for investigative reporting.
Behold, "Not Like Us" Again, language warning:
We're all caught up on this beef at this point, right? If anyone may have missed it this week, it being the biggest rap beef since JAY-Z vs Nas and the first to crossover into the mainstream at SUCH a level since then, I'm happy to do another post with an abridged write-up filling people in.

I don't think people realize just HOW TALENTED he is in so, so many ways.
It gets forgotten, he's *THE* guy who turned things around for Impact/TNA. Post-Dixie/Nazis/Aries/DelRio/etc, Ethan too a very real approach to social media discussing and promoting the weekly show, an approach comparable to Domino's in 2010 when they said "yeah, our old pizza sucked, we're sorry about that but we're trying something new so please give us another chance."
And it f***ing worked. It was a slow burn, but more and more people saw it refreshing that Ethan wasn't just a dude shilling a company or saying to watch him on TV, but openly acknowledging the problems it had and saying those issues were gone and to give it another shot.
He can and does make such *such* a genuine connection with audiences. Face or heel, he knows how to emote and does a tremendous job getting it out there and enjoyed with his own devices. Look at how great he was in the Minneapolis Street Fight at Full Gear 2021.
I don't think you can put the blame on him for the bad luck of the booking. America's Top Team suffered from both Scorpio Sky being someone the crowd wanted as a face (who allllllways did better as a face) and Dan Lambert being Dan Lambert. The Firm got derailed because of CM Punk causing Brawl Out. The Hardy weirdness I don't even know where one could go with it and I think it was because Mark Quen couldn't return to action as soon as expected so the whole angle became super slow motion in terms of progression.
No matter where he goes, if he gets to Ethan Page in the Ethan Pagiest of ways, he's going to be a main event star.

Circus Circus in Vegas is the single worst hotel I've ever stayed at when I was there last October. Just throwing that out there.

Every company that was after Steveson before WWE signed him are all thankful for WWE being the ones to find out how big of a bust he was. What were the incidents that he was accused of? And, as a Jets fan, I guess that makes him the Zac Wilson of WWE. Oh, not just accused, dude's such a full-on rapist that he got rape laws changed in Minnesota. Raped a girl while she was passed out drunk, a mountain of evidence, but a loophole in Minnesota at the time literally said on-the-books anyone consuming alcohol or drugs *weren't* "mentally impaired" when it came to consent so, "by law" he didn't "sexually assault" anyone. After, the law was immediately changed to close that loophole and locally here it's referred to unofficially and glibly as "Gable's Law."

Is there too many people here for this to work? Like Uncle Howdy will be the main guy. Rowan the muscle? and Dexter and Joe will be a tag team? It would be nice for Alexa and Nikki to bring a legit tag team to the division. IIRC the theory focused centrally around the whole ''Wyatt 6'' thing. I've seen one that suggested there'd only be 5 actual people in the faction with Bray being the ''sixth'' member to make up a Wyatt 6. Well, Bray's original Wyatt 6 incarnation that was supposed to be part of his 2022/2023 return was him, Eric Young, Bo Dallas, The Righteous and I'm blanking on the sixth but I think it was Nikki Cross.

I hear Cornette hasn't left his house in six years because he got his dick, half his scrotum, and a quarter of his prolapsed anus stuck in a honey pot and it's really embarrassing.

Dark horse pick: Owens
Cody's always spoken highly of him, in-ring they have great chemistry and it pretty much ensures we can get unhinged heel Owens getting heel reactions against Cody being the face who has to do everything it takes to win.

Tony better be a true mark and sell the injury at the Draft tonight. Wouldn't that make him, not a mark, but a carny? Let's keep our proper wrestling terminology straight people.

I still can't believe WWE's idea to use him in his main roster debut was to have him steamroll all the wrestlers of color he came across. They really tried with this f***ing asshole THREE TIMES. Meanwhile, Kassius Ohno/Chris Hero never got a single main roster match. f***ing bullshit.

I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. I seem to recall that he was accused of similar behaviour around the time of the original controversy. She actually described him as a white supremacist, which is interesting, I don't know if she was exaggerating, or if he really has gone down that rabbit hole and/or all those posts on Bodybuilding.com weren't just an idiot being edgy. Regardless, what an absolute dickhead. I really never thought those posts were some idiot edgelord, but rather an actual white supreamacist. Like, your garden variety edgelord doesn't have an encyclopedic knowledge of white power hatecore bands just to be edgy.
