She was one of the louder voices touting union stuff when the Twitch stuff originally went down. Sure gonna be interesting if Andrew Yang is actually gonna back up the things he's been talking about when it comes to wrestlers and being independent contractors.

Sasha worries me whenever she's in big gimmick matches. She's a) willing to take horrific bumps and b) so good at selling bumps anyways that everything in those matches looks like it kills her. That one bump on the stairs nearly had Cole say "Holy shit" on air but he just managed to catch himself.

The Roman Reigns tribal-chief stuff and the feud with Jey Uso has been really good the last few months. It's about the only thing I regularly watch while fast-forwarding through SDL

Ye, it's a mega-corporation banking on the idea that they can sue any of their wrestlers into the ground and for the most part the mainstream doesn't pay attention to wrestling so they fly under the radar. Apparently Andrew Yang knows what's up and more or less said if Biden wins, if he's not the Secretary of Labour he'll have that person's phone number and something might get done about it

Apparently UUDD is owned by WWE so that one's fine. I saw some talk about how it's mostly about using their WWE names while promoting outside things, but WWE is also claiming to own their real names too (which is technically illegal)

I mean, with that report out that WWE might cut out house shows period going forward, he's gonna have to start paying them more (LOL) or let them branch out into other things

New Japan plz (Brock might be a free agent right now too)

Didn't watch any of it tbh

I'm somewhat interested in the NXT main event, and Orton vs Drew (that Flair angle was a really good) but there's a bit too much happening this weekend so I might skip'em all. I wonder, at what point does a smark crowd start a "pedo" chant at Dream? Either in the Thunderdome over Zoom or whenever crowds are let back in (which is like probably tomorrow because America sure wants to pretend this thing isn't real). Surely the fanbase isn't going to let them get away with this one? Also: I love Raw Underground. It's a combination of what I wish UFC was (I want soccer kicks and skyscraper knees and action all the time and not stalling, dammit) and corny-ass mid '90s WWF. I love shoot style wrestling, it makes simple shit look badass again (also makes the shit that happens in the main ring away from it look really bad tho, and it's hard to take seriously when Antifa and Ninjas are also running around causing chaos and Antifa are supposed to be scary but the Ninjas are supposed to be jokes but they're dressed the same but somehow Cole and Graves immediately know which is which and don't just do the logical thing and bolt whenever either of them show, also Antifa vs Samoa Joe in Raw Underground would be a big money match-up and should probably be main-eventing Summerslam and I don't know why they didn't book it) and want more of it, or a dedicated hour of it and not this switching back-and-forth.

Renee Paquette gon' be All Elite soon

They replayed the Boneyard in full on SDL this week to cover for the lack of content because "Oops we infected our roster", so we had The Good Brothers on TV weeks after they'd been fired Not the original one, but reddit's been going Garfield Minus Garfield with Adam Cole matches, clipping out his opponents and making it look like he's wrestling himself and/or having a nervous breakdown by himself in the ring

Last episode of this Taker docu is fantastic. The twists and turns, actually paying for Metallica (I think they used a cover/soundalike for Mania?), seeing Luke Gallows pulls his Konnan-in-the-nWo and sticking close to AJ in the background so he's going to show up in every shot of every important promo of these events even though he no longer works for them (the best part is he didn't smarten up Brother Karl so you barely ever see him 🤣 ). Great shit

Wuh oh, a developmental talent (possibly someone in their stand-in crowds) tested positive for Corona. WWE has only been temperature-testing people and not wearing masks.

I think someone posted on reddit that one superplex spot had like 26 different cuts

Heyman's out of Raw creative for Bruce Pritchard

I just found out that Ric Flair is 10 years older than Arn Anderson. What the fuck?

This Undertaker Last Ride docu-series is really good

Yepppppp

Welp

Pirate or watch on DVR/PVR, then you can still watch their shit but not actually support them (I'm definitely down for Bray vs Braun)

Aw man. I just heard the first ep of Talk'N'Shop the other night, Guns and Gallows mentioned that Fink wasn't doing too well (Gallows would do a regular Fink impression and razzle Karl Anderson with it)

Guns and Gallows, EC3 and Rusev are finally fucking free, oh my god :') Shitty timing (and WWE obviously being corporate con-man about it as per usual), but so many of those people needed to get the fuck out of WWE as fast as possible to save their careers. Rusev especially should be and will be a main event guy anywhere else. As far as I understand it, Lance didn't close his school to take a WWE job so much as he always said he was going to close his school when his body couldn't take it anymore and/or his daughter was out of the house, which she is now, and the WWE job came up when he was doing shit in Impact. He'll probably wind up back in Impact behind the scenes whenever they get around to holding shows again if this isn't just temporary cost-cutting (I could see WWE re-hiring some of those people back when things are back to normal)

I don't want to see Taker wrestle in the ring anymore but I can absolutely get it up for more Boneyard matches. Also really liked Bryan/Sami and Shayna/Becky (ending was a bit flat, but at least it was actually flat this time)
