We were not given a reason as to why she's not been used, but she's healthy.

Check out this channel. Lol you'll lose track of what day it is. I'm ashamed to say I've watched all the 97 WCW Pros and 98 Worldwide already haha




He edits out all the commercials or Raw/Nitro replays. So it's just in ring stuff. He then combines all the segments and sorts them out by month.

Fucking amazing. WCW Worldwide, WCW Pro, WWF Shotgun Saturday Night and WWF Jakked.

So much delicious syndicated C show goodness.

This is also likely changed since Heyman left, and the person who would have most likely (not confirmed) been put in that spot would be either Flair, who may or may not be back by then, or Baszler, who Vince removed from television. The only thing we know is the person who ended her career was not scheduled to be Jax.

Also EVOLVE's owner Gabe Sapolsky got hired by WWE to join their NXT Creative team as part of the deal to purchase EVOLVE.

People joked for years that when Sapolsky made that initial deal, he was going to bolt for WWE at the very first chance to do so and that ended up happening, albeit for a genuine reason.

Logan and Marko Stunt might be the best wrestlers today when it comes to ragdoll spots. Bunch of crazy looking spots and throws Logan has taken in this match soo far.

Since it's non-title I assumed Bray would win and get a title shot at SummerFest as The Fiend...but also that wouldn't make sense bc if he beats Braun as SwampMaster Wyatt then why would he change back to CosBray.

The insinuation being he picked Stone Mountain GA for a reason...

I guarantee Orange Cassidy is aware of Minoru Suzuki and would pay the proper respects. It'd be no stiffer than your standard Suzuki affair and Cassidy would likely be game.

People love to fantasize about a shoot breaking out or someone getting stiffed - but it's rare unless it's been agreed upon.

Only dumbfucks. I mean I'm not calling the guy a draw or even putting over the gimmick. But he obviously knows how to go in the ring.

Suzuki would be dead to me. I've always wanted the guy to do more in Japan, but that sort of mentality explains why he's been capped at NEVER Openweight Titles.

This shit is killing Chris Jericho. It'd kill Suzuki's mystique too.



Orange Cassidy's work is the drizzling shits. I watched a brawl with Jericho recently and you can see him telegraph spots, obviously getting himself into position, his punches look shit, his Superman punch looks shit -- he almost looked like he was fighting wind resistance and Jericho had to fling himself backwards to go through a table.

Too many people put emphasis on whether a guy can kip up or do a dive. That shit's fucking boring unless it's got some meat behind it, which Cassidy does not bring.

And I'm sorry, but I'm sick of hearing that I need to "watch more of him." It's his job to hook me. He shouldn't be so fucking shit from the start.

Ibushi and Sabre Jr. not signing WWE deals ended up being the best thing to happen to both guys since they would have been wasted big time in the company. Especially Sabre Jr since his style is very heavy on holds and submissions and something WWE doesn't really care about.

Q - Hey guys, love the site. My question is about JJ Dillion. He's in the WWE Hall of Fame but is never utilized for cameos, talking heads on documentaries, etc. and I was wondering if there is heat with he and WWE?

A - JJ Dillon worked for a number of years alongside Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson as one of the top executives for the WWF. In his excellent autobiography, Wrestlers Are Like Seagulls, Dillon wrote extensively about working on a one-on-one basis with McMahon and being put in the position to take the heat for McMahon's decisions when it upset the wrestlers working for the company. Dillon noted in the book that he was concerned about being left in the open as a public scapegoat for the company's original drug testing plan since he was the administrator and if they didn't stick to the policy as written, it was on his head. During the same time period, WWE reduced the salary of a number of their office staff and executives to stave off financial problems coming out of the Vince McMahon steroid trial era, which put Dillon, living in CT (which is expensive) behind the eight ball financially. When his family was finally able to sell their home, Dillon tendered his resignation. According to Dillon, McMahon, worried that Dillion was going to crap all over the company publicly (the same week as Shane McMahon's wedding) made an offer to take care of Dillon on the way out. Dillon agreed and said he would sign following a family vacation that weekend. When he returned, the offer had been pulled because he had "allegedly" had discussions with WCW. Dillon claimed in his book, those discussions were nothing more than his family running into Scott Hall's family while at the Magic Kingdom when both were on vacation. He also claimed that McMahon lied about his departure, telling others that JJ had attempted to "extort" from the company. Dillon said that he made a conscious decision at that point to never work for WWF again, and in his appearances on the Horsemen DVD and the Flair Farewell, were done more out of respect for history and wanting WWE to get the story and moment right, than in seeking out a paycheck. Dillon did get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, but has not done anything else for WWE since that I can recall. I think someone, perhaps AEW, would be smart to pick his brain since he's now retired.

WWE Intercontinental Champion AJ Styles took to his Mixer video game streaming channel yesterday and had some strong things to say regarding his former boss on RAW, Paul Heyman. It was previously reported that Styles and Heyman did not get along when they were working together.

"There were some rumors going around that AJ Styles left RAW to go to SmackDown because he was being bullied. That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard," Styles said. "I mean, I'm a grown man. If there were some bullying going on that upset me enough to leave RAW and go to SmackDown, I would handle it. And whether I got my tail beat or not, I'd still handle it. I'm a grown man. So, I'll just throw that out there.

"When it came to the rumor about Paul Heyman and being upset with him because he didn't take up for Gallows and Anderson before they got released, that's not what it was at all," AJ continued. "It's not even close. I'll give you a snippet of what me, Gallows, and Anderson already know - [Paul Heyman] is a liar. Now you know; I'm sure you've heard that before if you go back to his ECW days, you'll hear that. He's a boldface liar. So, that's my take on that. I will let Gallows and Anderson [add to it]."
