Seriously some of the saddest news. Right after Terry Funk, too. Even more of a shame that he never got his full due in WWE.

Still staying in as creative. Who knows how long that lasts as more things develop, but man, that's pretty intense. Never would have imagined him ceding any power. And I guess in theory, if he's not CEO, there's potential room to be fired at some point. Not exactly expecting that, but man...it's crazy.

Really sad about this

For better or worse, I hope it's a sale. At least it would be a shake-up.

I wouldn't quite call Night 2 a shitshow as a whole, but it definitely started on the wrong foot and didn't hold a candle to Night 1.

WRESTLEMANIA NIGHT ONE

I swear that man could have a goose shitting out golden eggs in front of him, and he'd still run from the money.

Always was suspicious whenever he said, "The Greatest Team on God's Green."

Sounds like slavery to me

I dunno, she's talented enough that she could get a better job working outside of wrestling. Guess it depends how close she wants to be to Mox.

We'll, who couldn't have seen that coming?

Obviously they owe a lot of that shit to Matt Hardy. But admit it: that Boneyard Match was the shit.

Leave it to a global crisis to make me tune back into WWE

Don't worry, I already knew you'd ask. I'm still making picks, and probably commenting on results. And I can see being conned into watching WrestleMania just because I usually get together with friends. But I'm just kinda over watching the regular product right now.

I officially cancelled my WWE Network subscription. I've been the positive, yet skeptical WWE fan for too long, and with a proper Western alternative, I don't see the point anymore. I'm skipping WrestleMania this year and pirating NXT. There are a couple cool things going on at 'Mania so far, and I hope all my boys and girls get what they deserve and have an excellent showing and WWE rights their wrongs. But for now, I'm done tagging along until they get it right with their booking.

That's awesome. It's too bad this wasn't a thing when Air Boom was around. That was actually a solid tag team that really started finding its stride right as Evan Bourne got suspended. I went from thinking it was a lazy tag combination to being pissed that their reign ended so abruptly.

Part of me wonders if WWE has chilled on people smoking weed recently with the rise of legalization. They've been making plenty of jokes about Matt Riddle, and Dawkins has made a very blatant joke on TV before. Maybe they're just capitalizing on previous personalities, or perhaps the talent just knows how to avoid getting caught on tests. But really, I feel like if they're not baked while they wrestle, what's the problem?

MSG House Show Spoiler(Doesn't matter, but just in case):

Eh, I liked The Ascension when the shitty dude who used to date Charlotte was there. I always liked Viktor, but felt they never really clicked as a team. I honestly think had their been an actual tag division while they were champs, they wouldn't have been praised as much. Then again, maybe if they had actual competition, they would have been pushed to better matches.

Happy for all of them, especially Harper. They'll get more satisfaction elsewhere. Harper in particular could find himself in a great position outside WWE. And I think Sin Cara/Hunico has a lot to offer at least ring-wise. I don't think Ascension will do much of worth, though.

Well, well...

In reading up about this, a Forbes article made an interesting point. Vince was 19 when the Jim Crow laws were abolished, so by the time he was an adult, those values were just baked into him. So yeah, like you said, it's not that he's anti-black or anything. He just doesn't realize/care that he exploits them.

Just read up on the whole issue as well. It seems like the whole thing is a mess. ACH clearly has a reason to be upset, but the circumstances with him apparently approving it until it came out definitely muddies the situation. It feels like there's more here, like this is the catalyst to other things that have been bothering him. I also think the intentions of WWE definitely make a difference of whether this should have been made public. If either the samboism was intentional or this is the final straw in a string of racial injustices he's experienced, then WWE fully deserves to be put on blast. But if it's an isolated incident that is more a case of WWE corporate not realizing how insensitive it is to represent a black guy with smiling red lips(according to Myles, the initial idea was a sort of parody of the Rolling Stones logo), then maybe it would be better to take this as a moment of education behind closed doors. Of course, that ignores WWE's history of racially insensitive content, so they probably deserve to be called out in general. And I think this definitely hints at more problems he's already been dealing with behind the curtain.

What's the story with ACH? Has he been tweeting some shit?

Excuse me. Lio Rush album introducing the All Mighty Bobby Lashley was pure gold, and I'll hear nothing else.
