I’ll have to go back and rewatch it, I can’t really remember how deep it went, but that’s possible.

They need to just go for the jugular and do Vince, make it the whole season because there’s enough of it, plus more to come likely.

Definitely looks abandoned, the GitHub shows no updates in 7 months, the Kbin.pub site is also offline. I’ll pour one out for it, it was my preferred instance, but it’s dead and has been since before we left it apparently.

If you want to torture yourself… on this night, July 18, 2024 former WWE CEO Linda McMahon will be giving a rah rah Trump speech at the RNC. She was seen talking with him at last nights We Love the Don Con. Hulk Hogan is also on today’s list of speakers.

Edit: As is TKO’s own Dana White.

Edit 2: Apparently, I like torture… I refused to watch the early parts with Linda, so no idea what she did. But Brother let me tell you something Brother Jack, Trumpamania is gonna run wild on America and make it great again, and more schlocky bullshit. Hulk Hogan was fired up and out of breath, he has been followed up with by Franklin Graham… a televangelist nepobaby who thanks God for saving Trump from that bullet so he can make America remember it’s Freedoms. I may or may not return for the Dana White.

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque declined to comment on whether the company is still cooperating with the investigation when asked at the press conference following the company’s Money in the Bank event earlier this month.

A good lawyer will always tell you to shut the fuck up.

When Ms. Grant asked Dr. Colker about the substance of the supplement trays, and specifically which substance(s) caused her to experience nausea, he responded with pushback about trust, including, “If you don’t trust me, we have bigger problems.”

Yeah, giant fucking red flag, if true. No telling what they were pumping her with.

Dirty docs have been a thing in wrestling for a long fucking time, I’m not surprised if this turns out to be true.

The parties in the federal case agreed in May to put the lawsuit on hold pending a federal investigation.

Yeah, Vince and the gang are hoping for their favorite Hall of Famer to retake the White House and have the DOJ drop that, I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens based on current polling data.

Ummm… this isn’t something new, Samoa Joe is a recent big name example, WWE has always trademarked your real name and given it back when you leave.

Lince Dorado was using the name before WWE and I’m pretty sure Gran Metalik was Metalik early on in his career, but don’t quote me on that it could be a different person.

Things like Daniel Bryan, Sasha Banks, and the like are WWE created and owned.

EDIT: PWInsider says they are not going to get to keep their WWE names.

For those asking about a rumor that WWE is going to allow talents to retain their ring names if and when they leave WWE, there’s nothing to that claim. If a talent has ownership of a name (whether it be their own name or intellectual property they created prior to WWE), they retain the rights if and when they leave WWE, but license the use to WWE while they are under contract. Example: CM Punk. If a ring name is created under WWE’s auspices, WWE owns and retains that trademark. Example: Seth Rollins. We try to avoid even mentioning rumors so we don’t give them any credence, but the amount of emails about this today were ridiculous.

I don’t remember how it all went down but it seemed like she had a good thing going without him with Andrade and then he left and she got the infection and that was it. I thought she did great minus the cuckold storyline with Lashley as well, she could have been used better without him.

I really wish the AEW YouTube would upload that Deonna Purazzo vignette, that was great and AEW would do well to introduce more of this type of thing going forward, especially when introducing new characters we maybe have never heard of if we weren’t internet dorks.

I wish this man one year without major issues, my grandpa always told us getting old wasn’t for the weak, but damn JR seems to just keep going through the wringer.

I imagine we’ll hear something similar about Miro soon, no way Tony keeps paying him to sit on a couch in Bulgaria.

I thought she was a decent manager, surely no Jim Cornette, but decent enough in modern wrestling. I don’t think it was quite the stepping stone she hoped for but I do wonder what’s next for her.

Isn’t TJ a producer/road agent for them? I don’t see her leaving by choice so long as they can both be employed together. It’s crazy though to think how long her career has been with WWE, what is it now, 15-16 years, that’s a long time for a women’s wrestler in Vince’s WWE.

A search says they have or had $44.2 billion gross debt remaining after the merger. That’s a lot of dollars they need to find, letting go of a $2 Billion a year in NBA costs will help. But, could also harm them if people leave and advertisers quit. So yes, they are a hot mess and this merger is the stupidest things I can think of in Media history outside of the Bally/Diamond Sports Debt load by Sinclair.

A witness confirmed to the judge on Friday afternoon that a special prosecutor in the case, Kari Morrissey, was directly involved in the decision to file the evidence in an entirely different case file separate from the other Rust materials.

That seems pretty damning to the Prosecutions case. I can see why it was dismissed, it looks like they were hiding evidence.

More good signs for their relationship with Warner Discovery. I’m hoping this is leading to more deep integration between the companies, I still wish they would have used AEW Talents for the Shark Week stuff and not John Cena. I just really want to see them shove Darby into that fucking shark cage.

I found it interesting, and thought it was worth a share. These types of videos are usually the best WWE does on their YouTube outside of vignettes.

My favorite part of all of this is that he is one of the graphics on the WWE roster page all the way at the bottom. Image they posted.

It was reported they’ve had some pitches for a return match. I’m assuming they go All In and set it up with a return at Wembley.

There is a rumored NBA TV deal in the works…

The deal, which set NBA records for both its length and total value, goes into effect for the 2025-26 season. Games will continue being aired on ESPN and ABC, and now some will be going to NBC and Amazon Prime. TNT Sports, which has been part of the league’s broadcasting family since the 1980s, could be on its way out, but has five days to match one of the deals.

This is good news for AEW in the fact Discovery will have more funds if they want to spend them, and would probably then need AEW a little more. On the other hand, we are about two months from the new TV season starting and AEW should have had a new deal ready in January, it’s all strange, but if Discovery doesn’t match the ABC/NBC deal, it’s good for AEW in terms of getting that pay increase they want.

On Rampage they should just say screw it and do a rap battle.

Mansoor to Caster

My God, I knew she couldn’t be trusted, she’s just like Hogan, always out for herself. /Brain

Seriously, I’m happy she’s the one who did the turning, it felt too obvious that Timeless Toni would play the jealous attacker and they didn’t go with it, I’m more excited now than ever.
