She was definitely milking it though, amirite?

It’s insane the complete change of heart I’ve had with Karrion. Multiple times across his WWE arc.
Thought he was amazing when he showed up in NxT. Got sick of him fast. Then he turned into a gladiator. Now dudes one of my favorites on the entire roster.
I still don't feel it for Kross, and I probably never will. But, he seems to hate the right people, and that's good enough for me.
Kross is an interesting case of how to murder a guy with a perfect look and it's taken him a long time to get anything close to what he should have back.
But he's still got Scarlett so at the end of the day he's doing just fine.

Ehhhhh, bald-headed / pencil goatee wasn’t a perfect look. Long hair / beard took the look to another level
I am not a fan of the hair lol. I think I liked when he had short hair. But I'm just mostly going by physique, the tattoos, etc. He looked like a guy who would murder you, then they turned him into a demolition reject/gladiator.

Joe Tess announces wrestling like it’s the most serious thing, and I kind of love him for it. Like he actually thinks the heels are dastardly and not playing their role.
Looking at people whining in the playoff threads about foul merchants, and doing the usual extrapolating their own tastes into what everybody and/or nobody wants to see.
... Which weirdly brought me back around to wrasslin'. In the wake of WrestleMania weekend whom do you think causes the biggest disconnect between what the paying fans want and what the IWC wants, Jey Uso or Rhea Ripley? 'Cause both of them are over as **** with the live crowds, and all I ever hear online is people ****ting all over both of them.

I didn't realize Rhea was a problem in the IWC so off hand I'd say Jey? As for personal preference, Jey has grown on me immeasurably over the last 5 years or so while I liked generic muscle lady Rhea more than what we have now. But I have no problems where either are at in the cards. Charlotte and McIntyre are charisma vacuums to me.

Rhea’s been a slow burn as online people have gotten sick of her being at the top of the card. The masses turned on Jey right after he won the Rumble.
Rhea is right where she should be. A top draw, without the belt.

The Rock's story-arc following WrestleMania 40:
— Wrestle Features (@WrestleFeatures) April 22, 2025
RAW after Mania: The Rock engages in an awkward segment with Cody, where the two exchange belts?! WTF was that.
Bad Blood: The Rock appears at the end of the show, counts to 3 and dips. Solo Sikoa then states that this is "part of…
this situation wouldn’t be nearly as rough if Dwayne’s pathological desire to be liked made him abandon the final boss persona to cut those long meandering promos on RAW and NXT

The releases/departures from WWE we've heard so far
— Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com (@SeanRossSapp) May 2, 2025
- Braun Strowman
- Kayden Carter
- Katana Chance
- Shayna Baszler
- Dakota Kai
We may hear that some of their contracts weren't renewed
KCs and Kota got done dirty. Strowman’s knees are shots but he did a great job of getting Bronson Reed and Jacob over so sucks for him since he’s probably done done now.
I guess this means we’re gonna see a bunch of the NXT girls get called up to the main roster then?

Pissed about Dakota. She should be Women’s IC Champ.
Cora is likely a matter of staying healthy. I imagine a year long run of good health in TNA and the door will be wide open.
And they tried with Gigi… it just never clicked in the ring in NXT. Be it injury or what, she just has never impressed.
KC’s got done dirty by one of the most ill-fitting gimmicks I can remember. The partying and dancing just never fit at all. Their finisher is one of the coolest tag team finishers in the game and I hope they get a shot together elsewhere in a better fitting gimmick.

I hope that TNA already got a chance to air all their pre-taped shows featuring Cora before she got cut.
You talk about it being nasty work: I just realized that the breakup means that Lash never even has to acknowledge where Jakara went.
