Remember when Cody brought back the classic IC belt back and even then he literally had to get it made with his own money and show Vince to get it done in storyline.

All that to say, I hate the new IC but love Sami Castro :allears:

any belt the WWE doesn't design themselves is paid for by the wrestler to be made and then approved by wwe to be used, which is why bray wyatt has a dumb $25k wyatt family championship belt that no one had ever seen until he posted a pic of it sitting in his wrestling room

Now it's sitting next to the fiend belt. How much of a dick move would it have been if Goldberg got both belts

Watching some older shows and when big show has the KO punch it makes everything else awkward because the basic move is of course the punch but he can’t do that so he has to always punch them in the body while they punch him in the head which makes you wonder why if he can punch them why not just knock them out and also why the body shots have no effect while the head punch does.

The Revival continue to refuse to sign new deals so WWE are removing them from TV for the rest of their contract time. Dash's contract is up next month but Dawson's had some injury time added and will be done in June.

Actually WWE is still behind everyone else. The sports all got past "the show must go on but without a crowd" yesterday and the late night shows followed suit today.

There's going to be an over-the-top ladder match for a midcarder belt at WM where the participants probably do too many stupid bumps in front of no crowd.

My guess is that WWE cancels all live shows up until Mania, but hopes this whole thing blows over in the next three weeks, so he can claim to be the first live event after a "national tragedy" like he did with 9/11 and be super smug about it.

Probably. Plus there's nothing else going on, people are self quarantining/socially isolating, etc. Society's loss is WWE's gain.

Other way around. Dawson wasn't hurt and is up next month, Dash was and is being held

They requested an early release again recently and were denied. They wanted to be let go at the same time, even though it'd cause them to end up in AEW later than they would otherwise due to duration of no-compete

For real heat, one of the revival keeps getting booked in singles matches on AEW until the other one comes. I know they have like 5 tag team matches a show so that'll be rough but worth it.
