Well, I was expecting Mercedes to be going against Willow, but with this attack I guess she's saving her.

You don't have to climb Mount Everest if you injure yourself before the trip... Darby is insane.

Sometimes I look up and see Wardlow in his singlet and my mind has WCW flashbacks to Wrath.

I wonder who her first feud is, or is she going for the title straight away...

[–] JelloBrains@kbin.social 6 points 6 months ago

Nah, she's way more Carla than that.

I'd find it insanely funny if she didn't debut tonight after all of the teasing that's happened and they instead save it for Destiny or whatever the next PPV is.

If she doesn't show up tonight I'll be shocked, they've all but announced it.

So if he wanted or WWE wanted him to do SummerSlam it would need to be a hot-shotted angle, and that's assuming filming doesn't run long, which they do a lot.

I think after Mania I will have had my fill of Rock for a while though, nothing against him but we didn't need to replace Part Time Brock and Part Time Undertaker with Part Time Rock.

Maven's YouTube is really cool. I was always a Testicle, I wish he were still here teaching a new generation the most awesome big boot ever.

Somebody go find Tellum, Lemmy and Kbin are federating fairly quickly in SquaredCircle for the past few days. Maybe they'll come post again. We didn't get a meme monday. :(

Come now, you can’t start a statement with let’s get serious, and then proceed to “billionaire toy collector”.

I can, I did, and I stand by it. Several signings have stated that WWE didn't come even close to the offer AEW made, that's the billionaire part. I have eyes and can say since its inception AEW has hired big or semi-big names used them for a few months and they just disappear or languish somewhere else on the card, you could argue we aren't owed an explanation when people disappear and that's true, but even WWE knows to run an injury angle to write people off for a while. So yes, I think it's acting like a toy collector when AEW hires and then shelves people. We don't have to agree on it, but it's my opinion and I stand by it.

@TagMeInSkipIGotThis For a couple of weeks Kbin hasn't been federating properly and was constantly failing to load with an error 50x message, the mod (with community input) of SC made the decision to move the main instance to Lemmy.zip and make kbin a "backup."

 

For those that aren't jumping from Kbin to Lemmy with most of SquaredCircle, might I suggest subscribing to https://kbin.social/m/squaredcircle@lemmy.zip so at least we might see some of those conversations? It won't help those of us using the microblog function, but it's worth a shot to keep the conversations going.

When Bayley's wacky arm waving tube inflatables come back they should have duct tape on them like she taped the old stabbed ones back together. #WWE #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Y'all it feels like losing your favorite aunt/uncle from when you were a kid... Wrestling isn't supposed to make you sad.

They should make Sting the new commissioner of AEW and he could be Commissioner Borden... he can hide in the rafters, keep wearing the trench coat and the disappointed dad look while sending Darby out to handle problems... play it up like The Animated Series' Commissioner Gordon and Batman...

Dave Meltzer is now claiming what's happening with The Rock and Cody was the plan all along, and everybody got worked, and he knew the whole time... which is a completely different tune than he was playing a couple of days ago... I'm starting to think this man might make shit up! #Wrestling #ProWrestling #WWE #WeWantCody #RockySucks

PWInsider.com is told this wasn’t done to target and politic Cody out of his main event out of malice, but out of the belief that Johnson was the best idea to make money now and respect his new position with the company’s parent company. This was a strategic move to give Johnson more political power overall and to show Endeavor’s faith in his involvement and that even Paul Levesque, who has done an admirable job as the Chief Creative Officer, would "lose that power struggle with Johnson at this point", as one source surmised.

 

“I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant’s lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth. I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name. However, out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners and constituents, and all of the employees and Superstars who helped make WWE into the global leader it is today, I have decided to resign from my executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors, effectively immediately."

Edit: Nick Khan statement to Employees:

"I wanted to inform you that Vince McMahon has tendered his resignation from his positions as TKO Executive Chairman and on the TKO Board of Directors. He will no longer have a role with TKO Group Holdings or WWE."

 

Just when I thought it wasn't possible to think any less of Tony Khan's tweets, the man snorts the good stuff and proves me wrong. Jinder didn't deserve that trash shot. #AEW #WWE #Wrestling #ProWrestling

Dunn, who held the post of Executive Producer & Chief, Global Television Distribution, informed WWE around Christmas week he was exiting after more than three decades with the company. We are told that a big factor in his decision to retire is changes made internally post-Endeavor acquisition and as one source stated, that Dunn was "never going to do anything that was dictacted" to him, as opposed to how he personally oversaw production in the past. We are told this was not an issue of creative but two differing versions of how things should be run from a TV production perspective as WWE's new owner seeks to cut costs.

... See link for full story, this is truly the end of an era.

Multiple sources in the broadcast industry have confirmed that the CW Network and WWE have been in deep discussions for weeks about NXT shifting from its current basic cable home on the USA Network to a traditional broadcast television home, airing live weekly on the CW Network when the brand's current media rights deal ends in September 2024.

WWE has since confirmed the news.
