Lol wow!

Shane McMahon has been “quietly let go” because of how abysmal his hand in booking and the apparent chaos he caused for the Men’s Royal Rumble!

so that's why he was trending? jeeeesus. I don't love Shane but the people who ARE running the show are running it into the ground. Why has Hunter's work all been undone. WTF with Gunther? WWE has become so many words that were last acceptable to say out loud during the attitude era.

Apparently he booked himself to out-punch Riddle (MMA Professional) and eliminate KO, and was still a salty jerk to everyone backstage because he only cared about himself and wasn’t allowed to do everything he wanted too.

Oh yeah ok I guess that's fair I forgot all that happened you know because the finish. I thought they were firing whoever made the finish.
 
Cody rejoining WWE would be a step towards me watching AEW. Cannot stand that dude. Don’t see it happening though.
 
I feel like he's a mark for himself. He has done some good things (MJF stuff in particular) but he's a midcard guy who thinks he is a big belt guy. But his breakup with WWE was not good. But telling if some of the OG talent were to crawl back to Vince because the new indy talent that WWE elevated but failed to build and some of the WWE legacy guys that jumped now dominate half of AEW's weekly programming.
 
Also he has a chest tattoo on his neck and a neck tattoo on his chest :D

lol sorry for a business so predicated on looks it just looks so dumb.
 
I’m all in on Cody jumping for the hot takes. Though from my wrestling board it seems the majority of the AEW fanbase already hates him so it won’t be as funny as I want it to be.
 
If they are really gone I won't miss Brandi. I liked her as Cody's valet when he would do the Macho Man stuff of using her as a shield etc. but her time with creative was an absolute nightmare.
 
Bron Breakker is far and away the least interesting “new” guy of NXT … and of course he’s the most pushed and also the one who gets the least reactions.

Melo is the true A-Champ of NXT2.0
 
Dave or at least Wrestling Observer say its over loss of booking power. I definitely LOL that the elite got themselves a money mark and instead he ran off with their show and brings in all the WWE and higher level talent once the show takes off.

Which begs a questions, why is Tony's daddy so bad at running a football team?
 
Roman vs Brock, Champion vs Champion. :rolleyes:

Lashley is apparently out multiple months with a
shoulder.

How MadCap Moss didn’t break his neck is amazing. It’s gotta be the attire. Incredibly dressed man.

Sword McIntyre sucks.

Ronda seemed more into wrestling today which was nice. I was worried she had completely forgotten or cared how to do this since becoming a mother.

Becky attempting a moonsault is one of the craziest things I’ve seen this year. Nice showing for Lita, I was worried it was going to be a bit of a disaster.
 
I’m usually not one to gripe about name changes. Walter to Gunther is lateral at worst and people were complaining just because it’s a name they’re used to.

But they just renamed Pete Dunne… BUTCH.

I’m complaining now. Because that’s goshdarn ridiculous.
 
Rest well Bad Guy.

Saw Nash's post late last night, goddamn. What a great time 96 was to be a fan though.

I was probably a Michaels guy at this stage. I became a huge Rock fan the following year, around the time he and Austin were in the IC picture. I respect the hell out of Brett in the ring but he was never the guy I was rooting for.
 
And, to the contrary, I was never a Michaels guy: I followed Arn and Tully from Atlanta up to New York, and Bret was the first WWF guy that I ever rooted for.

In fact, the one and only feud that Michaels was involved in, that I didn't root for the other guy, was his feud with
R.ad88b6a800529a30617db8e363e3f07c
R.2142fb11f3776e415fd2add30d452ecb
 
I had some exposure to WCCW before I got into WWF but I didn't really get too into NWA/WCW until they acquired Watts's UWF.

I had gotten into the UWF around the final 18 months or so, at that point I was convinced WWF was fake but UWF was legit. Not sure how I could rationalize the existence of Sting in this universe, but everyone else seemed like a real guy probably using their real name. lol.

then I went to college and got the internet. Which is probably what got me hard into Michaels around 93.
