Apparently Adam Copeland has filed a bunch of new trademarks and all of them are awful. One of them is "Ledgend" and another is "Cope" (also "Iconoclast" and "The Rogue").

Still better than Sexton Hardcastle.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Also, AEW should totally pull a "Del Rio," and bring in Tony Chimmel to be Copeland's personal ring announcer.

It's the yearly Kittle appearance on WWE and he's definitely gonna go the McAfee route when he eventually hangs up his cleats but, uh, why are they ignoring the all-pro hard-hitting beast safety sitting next to him? Also Wade Barrett clobbers Travis Kelce with an absolute haymaker of a stray lol

Spoiler: RAW Spoiler

So I guess they let Gargano survive the cuts with the stipulation that he had to use the dumb remix of his theme?
Either way glad to see him back and working with Ciampa again even if the feed ended before they could actually do a thing

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yeah, what was the deal with that? Did they have a hard out? They must have, right?

Fightful Wrestling on Twitter: ""I really thought that working with Jay again was what I wanted to do and how I pictured it in a perfect world. Beth said, 'What's your perfect world? 'I was like, 'My perfect world is that I end my career with Jay.' So suddenly that perfect world looked like it could be there. It's tough to pass that up."" / (twitter.com)



My secret shame is that I was a closet Matt/Lita shipper, and the fact that Edge got to not only walk away from that scandal scot-free, but then got to go on and enjoy his Happily Ever After™ with my Number Three all-time wrasslin' crush brings out the hater in me from way back, but I still can't help but be happy for him.

I was about to make a Rick Bognar joke, but then I realized that he's dead, too.

I’ve joined a local pro/wrestling school. A few weeks in, took my first bumps off clotheslines today doing the Tennessee Drill. Not something I ever expected to do, but I’m having a blast (even if I’m a little more sore in my daily life)

now I want Rhea to take Roman’s belts

The WWE bringing CM Punk back after the past decade plus of antics to randomly interrupt a Rollins-Shinsuke feud would be absolutely frustrating, which is why it’s 125% going to happen.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

now I want Rhea to take Roman’s belts

I would totally be here for them giving Rhea the push that they didn't have the balls to give Chyna, 23 years ago.

You get there when you get there, I guess.

of course she doesn’t. Kairi’s coming back either tonight or in a couple of weeks

 

[Tetsujin]

Was actually not expecting that finish. I guess this allows Cody and Jey to keep showing up on Smackdown though.

 

[Tetsujin]

They really gotta do something about these hot mics tho

it’s because she’s the least interesting wrestler in the entire company. A bunch of recycled schtick her dad used thirty years ago and a slow “athletic” moveset that make my joints ache just by watching.

I hope Jey took an Uber to the hotel this time.

at this point, it feels like it’d be faster to list the people who WON’T be on NXT tonight

“Dustin’s coming back to WWE! And my dad is actually still alive and here he is now!” Tonight on NXT!

lol Shawn Michaels apparently trying to step on Tony’s neck tonight

All we’re really missing is the Rock showing up to pull Ava out of her cult at this point.

 

[Tetsujin]

Spoiler: No Ava don’t do it

I think she'd have been fine if not for getting her first 12 titles in like the first year is she at 15 yet? The chase to break her dad's record is incredibly unfun and forced. Plus hot shotting so many right off the bat means if they get cold feet like they have apparently done with multiple males they can no longer put a belt on them when it makes actual sense.

Also totally nonsense to break a record established over 4 decades in 5 years. I guess this is another reason Vince is doneso.

 

[SLAB]

Tony Khan is such a dork. Lay off the Twitter, dude.

 

[Tetsujin]

I’d like to thank Taker’s NXT appearance for randomly pushing this extremely dated video of Paul Bearer cutting a promo on Yokozuna in a Blockbuster into my YouTube algorithm.

Obviously, the guy made FU money on the Endeavor deal so he can’t be too mad but I gotta imagine that this is not what Vince imagined would happen when he tried burning the house down to get himself back in charge.

 

[Tetsujin]

Soooo just gonna ask the obvious but what’s the over/under on weeks before Mickie James shows up on Smackdown?
