Vince made a monkey-paw wish when he made his company public. He's gone a long time without his idiosyncrasies being dragged into the spotlight too much. If it happens now, well, it wouldn't be shocking and it's hard to feel sorry for him.

Not sure what that means but I should be able to find out more 2morrow possibly...


***Update***


* Roman Reigns has been working hurt since Wrestlemania. Roman did not have physical activity of any kind on WWE TV from Wrestlemania until 'The Greatest Royal Rumble Ever' as they were trying to let him heal up and rest. Roman got more banged up on the cage spot at GRR.


* WWE is toying with the idea of turning Randy Orton heel again


* Lashley was not blamed at all for the botched suplex with Cass at GRR. The botch was on Cass's end as he did not post on Bobby's hip at all, which gave Lashley no support for his weight.


* Officials are very aware of the poor job that has been done with Bobby Lashley thus far. It is one of those situations where he was simply lost in the shuffle due to the Superstar Shake-up and Vince changing his mind on things. Vince wanted Lashley to debut the night after WrestleMania but didn't account for the Shake Up causing him to get lost in the shuffle. Again, they are aware of this and will be attempting to make him look special in the coming weeks.


* Vince is concerned that Ronda Rousey is appearing on television too much and sees her as more of a special attraction, akin to Brock Lesnar.


* Brock's next title defense will be at Money In The Bank.

Interesting stuff.

* Roman Reigns working hurt actually strongly supports not putting the belt on him. I mean, it isn't working, but that doesn't stop them.

* Randy Orton turning heel is something that has been rumored for a long time, and just given the frequency of those turns, should be expected. Orton turning on Jeff is something I am personally hoping for.

* It doesn't surprise me. Lashley is a hoss and Cass is inexperienced and not very good in the ring.

* I actually like what they've done with Lashley. If they brought him and went and got Michael Cole to do his phony hype stuff, people would reject it, because they've gotten that wry about the product. The WWE has created this monster where people reject pushes, and sometimes they are right, but sometimes they don't even know why. Teaming him with Braun is a great way to get that "overness" I keep hearing about Braun onto Lashley without blatantly having Lashley usurping Braun, upsetting the fans, even though Lashley is 10x better.

* Vince is right about Ronda.

* Brock's next title defense being at Money in the Bank means that he will have spent 441 days as Universal Champion, lasting longer than Punk did with the WWE Title as Brock heads into Chicago. Brilliant. God, I hope Heyman plays that up.

Something to point out about Brock's Universal Title reign. He's currently at 10 defenses, not counting the AJ Styles match, which wasn't for the belt, but had championship stakes on the line in a kayfabe sense. Kazuchika Okada is at 11 defenses of the IWGP Title over a 680 day period, which averages out to a defense ever 62 days or so. Brock's been defending the Uni Title every 39 days. If we're only counting televised matches, then Brock is at 6 without counting the AJ Styles win, which only puts Brock at 66 days. Obviously this doesn't mean that the Brock and Okada reigns need to feel the same to people, but when we're talking technicalities, it's either much of a muchness or Brock has actually defended his belt much more frequently than Okada has his.

In regards to Lashley, WWE is basically comically inept at this point due to how many times they keep repeating this same mistake.

In regards to Ronda, kind of telling WWE's way of protecting Ronda's aura from their booking is to not have her on tv. Unlike Lesnar, she really needs all the tv experience possible (promos & wrestling skills). Right now her star power isn't carrying over in terms of constant mainstream interest for the WWE.

No one can get mainstream interest for the WWE, because no one takes WWE seriously. I imagine most people think of it as "WWE are paying Ronda a lot of money to fake wrestle and she wants a break from real fighting."

I'm sorry but you are suffering from a severe mental deficiency if you think Lashley is 10 times better than Braun.

The documentary will debut on Showtime at 9 p.m. Eastern time on May 25th, which is part of Mental Health Awareness month.

“I have always tried to do my part to bring awareness to mental health issues,” Ranallo said. “Over the last several years, I allowed my best friend, Haris (Usanovic), to film me at my lowest points as well as at my highest. The idea is simply to show others who suffer that they are not alone and that, even when the outlook is bleak, you can overcome and achieve success. Mental illness is a life sentence -- there is no cure -- but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence.”

Ranallo currently does play-by-play for NXT, Showtime Boxing, and Bellator MMA. He joined the NXT announce team last June, which came after a severe bout with mental health issues and him leaving SmackDown amid allegations that he was being bullied.

Triple H tweeted about Showtime’s upcoming documentary on Mauro Ranallo: “Amazed by the strength and bravery it takes to stand up in front of the world and show them your struggle, just so others will know they don't struggle alone...@mauroranallo tells the stories of so many people..now it’s time to hear his.” The documentary premieres on May 25th.

Zack Ryder commented on the 11th anniversary of his WWE debut: “11 years ago-5/1/07-I made my @wwe debut. Over a decade of being on the main roster-living the dream-busting my ass & doing whatever it takes to capitalize on opportunities. I’m only 32 years old-I may not just be getting started-but I’m damn sure not even close to being finished”

Mansoor, one of the Saudi tryout attendees who was involved in the segment with Ariya & Shawn Daivari at the Greatest Royal Rumble, responded to the threats that Ariya has received: “Ariya is an absolute class act and it was a pleasure to meet and work with him. I owe him and his brother so much. Please remember all performers are human beings first. Adults should be able to separate reality and fiction.”

Booker has said, a few times, that he doesn’t want to be on the road doing Raw full time. He will fill in whenever he is needed, but he doesn’t want to do it full time. I agree with you, I like him a lot on commentary. I think Coach is good too, but Booker brings a fun element to commentary that I enjoy.

So three of the top ten films star pro wrestlers. What a surreal time.

Isn't that over, yes. His reactions are underwhelming compared to what has been reported (crowds are shit, but he doesn't ignite them), and I don't think he has the mass appeal that people say he does (or else crowds wouldn't be shit). I think he's a big dude that was booked to throw around people no one gave a fuck about the safety of, and they've been worked into thinking this makes him "good." Whenever he has to work a longer match, it's full of boring shit and botches because he's not really that good and people have just missed certain elements of pro-wrestling (squashes, big guys tossing people around) and are willing to latch onto anyone not Reigns.

Outside that, his name is goofy, his look is goofy, the angles he is involved in absolutely suck and are impossible to take seriously. He's very much a product of modern wrestling to me, and I think he's only more over than a bunch of other people that aren't over at all, which is a caveat that needs to be discussed. During the Attitude era, for example -- he is stuck in DOA or a mid-card tag team with Faarooq or something.



There are two types of people in the wrestling world: People who find that gif funny and awesome, hahaha, Braun is awesome, so cool; and people who question why they are watching this lame shit. Honestly, I think he is more over within the bubble of the internet, which also tells you that Broken Matt Hardy was over, women's wrestling draws and cruiserweights matter. You begin to hear this thing again and again so you think it is more widely true than it actually is. And I do believe that people have been oversaturated with mediocre wrestling for so long that different is automatically better to a lot of connoisseurs.

In this video you can basically see 40-60% of the audience cheer when Braun comes out. There are plenty of people just standing around watching. They then go into a mild "Yes!" chant when he gets into Triple H's face. It's not huge and only lasts about six seconds.



Something more recent that I actually didn't know existed. It starts with some awfully filmed and phony backstage shit with Braun holding Elias in place while Elias tries to escape via car, and then chasing him through the arena ala Tom and Jerry. The commentators can barely hold their shit together. When Braun walks out onto the stage, there is a mild pop. The crowd does not give a shit about the in-ring action. When Braun roars, there is a medium-sized roar from the crowd. When he holds Elias in place to club him, there is no reaction, and Braun reacts to a specific fan that calls something out. Crowd seems to wake up for the weapon shot from Elias. Crowd doesn't give a shit when Elias is on offense. No reaction for the suplex punch from Braun. Mild reaction for them approaching the announce table. No reaction for Braun playing the piano, which was specifically set up to be a crowd interaction spot. Minor "Get these hands" chant, because people like chanting things. Lasts about four seconds. They roar when Braun roars, but it dies immediately down. No prolonged cheering. Minor pop for Braun winning, close-up of crowd...standing there. A few people smiling.

I'm sorry, but I just don't get this "Braun gets amazing reactions" thing. People seem to roar when he roars, but even Reigns had that going for him.

On the local level they are a different party even though they do share a lot of similarities in terms of ideology. Either he recently switched to regular Republican party or Tennessee just considers both parties to be the same for primary reasons.

"Libertarian" is both a political party and just the name for a political ideology. Similar to Ron Paul running as a Republican.

Knox County also always votes Republican apparently, so that was the only realistic way he could win.

The good news is that the show was up five percent year-over-year. The May 1st, 2017 episode did 2.3 million viewers, also going against heavy competition from the NBA playoffs.

The provisional votes will be counted this Thursday. Anders has yet to address the subject of a recount.

Jacobs' campaign declared victory after tonight's results, "Glenn, along with his family, volunteers and supporters declare victory in a hard-fought Knox County Mayoral race this evening. Together we won! Tomorrow, we move forward."

Jacobs himself also sent a message to everyone who has supported him, "Thanks to everyone who helped win this historic victory!! The people who cast a ballot for me, my great team, my wonderful volunteers. Looking forward to VICTORY in the general election!"

That general election will take place on August 2nd, and the Republican candidate will be the overwhelming favorite to become the next mayor.

I think it also hurts they scheduled the same state so soon after their last US show.

If anything, it would have made more sense to have a show on the East Coast instead of the West Coast once more.

When they announce Jericho/Naito and whatever hot match Okada and Kenny are in, and hopefully Rey Misterio, I think they can easily double what they have now, maybe more. Hoping they can at least get 7,000. I don't think this bodes well for All In.

10,000 for Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega was always a little delusional. There aren't as many "wrestling hipsters" as people think there are.

I can get the idea that running the same place in three months might be damaging to ticket sales, but what does that say about the demand for them? Jerry Lawler and Memphis this is not.

NJPW made the big mistake of thinking their brand alone can sell shows in the US and not the actual talent or strong cards. They got lucky with the last US show but only WWE can really get away with doing that and usually for their Big 4 events.

Cody trying to hit 10k for All-In was always going to be super tough regardless of NJPW push into the US. Even the WWE struggles at times to hit that mark for their shows.

Are the talent in New Japan really a much bigger draw than the New Japan vibe itself? Bryan Alvarez tells the story of just walking around New Orleans at WrestleMania time and just seeing Okada and no one recognizing him. That was when the city was swarmed with wrestling fans. I just don't think it's what people think it is. They were at 100,000 subscribers for New Japan World last time I checked. I'm not mocking them, but that is what they've got from a worldwide fan-base that are willing to pay 999 yen for that service. There are 100,000 fans willing to pay less than a gym membership for all the content New Japan produces.

Their show apparently does pretty well on AXS, and I am glad to hear about their steady growth, but the idea that they are exploding or whatever is an internet thing -- like that "Broken" Matt Hardy was a thing. All you need to do is look at the numbers and it's quickly dispelled as myth. I think where they went wrong is thinking that the fan-base is more than what it is, and that when they do shows where they have 2,000 people attend one, 3,000 another and 4,000 another, that they've got 9,000 fans, as opposed to 4,000.

It's absolutely insane to be honest, and it's even more insane that they've made it an active goal that they can fail at. They didn't just book a big arena show with the attitude of "we're going to try and get as many fans as possible." They have specifically set their value at 10,000 people and whatever they miss is how much they've over-inflated their own value by.

The "indy wrestling in so great; we are true artists" attitude bugs me, but it's enhanced by this "we get it" demeanor, with them constantly bragging about how much money they make outside WWE. Good for them and whatever, but it's annoying when it's clear they're kind of full of shit and do something that seems like such a daft promotional move. I don't feel as sorry for them as I do New Japan.

Maybe they will draw 10,000 and make me eat crow, but if they don't, I don't know how any of them could be surprised. I don't know what indicator there has been that there are 10,000 individual fans willing to pay money to see Cody Rhodes do his mid-card WWE shtick in the main event of a show.

Tama Tonga, who distracted Ospreay before the attack, then took off the Bone Soldier mask revealing Ishimori as the new Bone Soldier and the latest member of the Bullet Club. It seems likely he’ll be a part of the Best of the Super Juniors tournament that takes place later this month.

Originally trained in the Toryumon dojo, Ishimori had been a staple of Pro Wrestling NOAH since 2006, starting as a freelance wrestler and eventually becoming a staple of their junior heavyweight division. He won the Junior title on three occasions and the Junior tag team titles on six occasions. He left NOAH back on March 12, citing people like Shinsuke Nakamura and Hideo Itami inspired him to travel around the world.

Since his departure, Ishimori has competed for PWG as well as Impact Wrestling.

After the match, Kenny Omega entered the ring to settle their feud. The rivalry stands at one win and a draw for each.

Okada proposed a no time limit match, Omega countered with a 2/3 falls no time limit match and both agreed.

Okada vs. Omega IV will take place on Saturday, June 9th, in the main event of Dominion at Osaka-jo Hall.

The latest report reveals that the former 205 Live superstar is no longer living in Florida, which he called home during his WWE career. He said quietly said goodbye to his American friends and went back to the UK, but has tried to keep the move secret.

Another source said that Neville’s name hasn’t been mention within WWE “in ages.” “The Man That Gravity Forgot” walked out of the company in October of last year due to being unhappy with his job. As of now, he’s still under contract.

When it actually happened and the accident happened in the ring, I lost all feeling in my legs and my arms. It was literally the most terrifying experience in my life and I would never wish that upon anyone. It was so scary. I literally was like "Oh my gosh, I'm done, I'm going to be in a wheelchair now, this is it, I've pushed myself too much." Because I really did, because everytime I was in the match I was like "its okay, I'll do the comeback, I'll take the bump, I'll do this, I'll do that" because I was just so eager to get back in the ring you know. I feel like I pushed myself too hard to the point of where my body was like "stop." You know I've been doing this since I was thirteen as well and my body was like "you need time to grow woman."

I refused to believe I was hurt, I remember doing this. Coming back to Orlando to go get my MRIs and stuff and I felt good, I could get back in the ring again even though I just experienced temporary paralysis. I was like "No I'm good, I can do this, please don't make me be out." And I was like begging them, "Please I don't want to be out anymore, please don't let me be out." I was just crying to the doctors and stuff. So then Dr. Maroon was like "I'm sorry you cannot get back in the ring again." It was horrible, it really breaks your heart....it really does.

I remember being in the match too and experiencing that and like "maybe it's just my arms right?" So I'm like "no I'm going to keep going." And I remember trying to grab Sasha's legs and my arms felt like there was just no bones in them you know. So I'm trying to grab her legs and then like "wait let me try to stand up and then I'll be good to do the comeback" and Sasha is like "noooo, absolutely not." Then I tried to stand up and I just look drunk. Like I just start stumbling and falling back. But actually I feel like the girls were more terrified than what I was at the time. Like I was petrified, but the girls were crying at ringside and stuff and then they see the stretcher coming out and I was like "please, please," and it's just like horrible. I don't know how you did it for so many years beforehand because it's terrifying.

In a recent interview with Pop Culture, Jax was asked about what went down and if The Rock had actually given her advice to leave. The answer was no ...

She was also asked to clarify if she was unhappy with the WWE at the time about her status. Her leave of absence ended up occurring due to a bag falling on her head during a flight.

"It has nothing to do with that at all," Jax said. "It wasn't something that was that big of a deal. I had actually had an injury that happened to me personally on a flight—an overhead bag fell directly on top of my head while I was on a plane. I was out of it, I was completely out of it. I'm not kidding you."
