that poor man has gotten his teeth fixed. 
The ending to the Raw Tag Title match reminded me to add an album to my draft board, so there is that.
that was weird tonight.

Charlotte is a good wrestler, but I never want to see her again. Her never-ending push makes Roman’s seem tame. I hate that she’s now the NXT Woman’s division, and that makes two champions down in NXT I’ll refuse to watch. (Along with The Broserweights) The Horsewomen must never lose!
Edge / Orton was like 15 minutes too long. Should have really edited it down to cut the fat. Glad to see Edge able to do his thing though, and I look forward to his actual real in-ring singles match instead of a long drawn out brawl. The stipulation hurt them as well, never letting any momentum get built with long pauses for “near-falls.” Should have just been an unsactioned fight.
The Funhouse “Match” was great for what it was, and went a long way rebuilding Wyatt/Fiend after getting fed to Goldberg. I was sure Cena was going to steamroll him. Now we’ll have Wyatt going to kill his own monster in Strowman.
Glad McIntyre won. Sad his moment (after so many years) was in front of an empty warehouse. Hopefully we can have real title matches in the future instead of the Lesnar Special of kicking out of each other’s finishers until someone doesn’t.

Well, damn, I saw a tweet just before I went to bed last night about IRS getting fired on tax day, that I was looking forward to posting here in the morning, and then I wake up to learn that Howard Finkel has died, and now, it seems mad inappropriate.
WWF/E has been missing something ever since he went away, he was that good without making it about him (yes Michael Buffer, I'm talking about you). Truly a legend. RIP
Word on the Street™ is that WWE let their trademark on the name "Cody Rhodes" expire, and Cody scooped it up, immediately.
Ok I was not prepared for that 
The hashtag #timemachinebooking is worth a look-through. This one caught my attention:
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MURDER SASHA BANKS?

This is some WCW "Hire the Warrior, just so Hogan can get his win back"-level nonsense. And it really makes how they treated Kofi look even more offensive, in hindsight.
Had he not needed surgery and COVID-19 not happened I am sure things would have played out differently? Still there has to be a better way to manage PR for releasing so much talent.
Out of curiosity, why are you sure of that? WWE's sterling track record?
Because otherwise they'd have signed him to a one PPV deal like they do with others?
And I thought they had teased a longer program and it went to hell because Cain couldn't go? I had heard that in Mexico Cain looked quite good in AAA or wherever he was wrestling?
Your point is fair. WWE has no good track record as of late.
Speaking of track records. Remember that time Disney bought Marvel...

I was quite deflated when Lee beat Priest tonight. Really think Lee should have lost, then fallen upwards to be the one to beat Cole. Dream obviously has his issues going on, and even beyond that (if it turns out it was a hack/hoax), Lee is better than him in every way.
Instead Lee’s still the champion of a level he’s above and constantly beating down guys who I love and could use the title more than him (Priest, Dijakovic, Grimes)
Maybe he’ll still be the one to beat Cole and be NXT’s champ-champ. I could live with that.

I love the guy. He’s like a mixture of Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin except really good in-ring. And his entrance is fire.
Last week the Dark Side of the Ring episode on Dr. D was the greatest thing ever and it only took a week for the Herb Abrams episode to top it.
So, it seems that the rumors were true, after all... If you're one of those people who hates spoilers, but you also have the ESPN app... sorry about your damned luck.
Oh. ok. I think I grok but for a minute there I thought you were saying ESPN finalized a deal to buy WWE and I about lost my sensibilities.
Becky beats Ronda again.
