Dacap: Jul 8, 2008; I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Half the roster is sick with COVID and they still won�t put Ricochet on Raw.

What a wasted opportunity. Sure it�s fun to laugh at him for being a bootlicker and mediocre promo, but it can�t be seen as anything but complete incompetence to have one of the most dynamic physical performers in wresting and not be able to make him a star, or even a regularly featured midcard guy.

My uncle is in hospice care, got it in hospice, and lived. Its such an insane roll of the dice. Honestly he kind of kicked the virus' rear end for someone who is again, in hospice.

Isn't main event recorded in the same place anyway? so he probably also has covid, right?

BrigadierSensible: Feb 16, 2012; I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Now considering Vince thinks COVID-19 is just a bad flu.

Pre-pandemic, lets say a wrestler got the flu. And was all sniffly, and had blocked sinuses, and felt awful etc. Would that have been cause for allowing them to go home and rest up in bed with some lemsip and chicken soup? Or would they have been forced to rub their sweaty, aching, infectious body all over another sweaty person, thus exacerbating the problem?

I mean, Vince has made wrestlers to wrestle with broken bones, torn tendons and concussions etc. in the past. So I am guessing he sees nothing of having sick wrestlers work each other.

Wrestlers often work with the flu. Kris Statlandet worked a PPV with the flu on February.

Raw Results 6/29:

Detailed Results here.
The show opened with Asuka and Sasha fighting in the ring. Ziggler and McIntyre joined them for a double contract signing. The segment broke down into a fight again. Bayley laughed at one of her own jokes like a good heel.
Backstage, Angel Garza and Andrade claimed they would beat the Viking Raiders and get a title shot against the Street Profits. Big Show arrived and claimed he was pulling rank to put his own segment next.
Andrade and Garza confronted Big Show in the ring. Ric Flair came out and warned Show against taking on Randy Orton. The Viking Raiders prevented Andrade and Garza from jumping Big Show.
Andrade and Garza defeated The Viking Raiders in a tag match. Andrade and Garza continued to tease dissension between them, despite Zelina Vega's best efforts.
The IIconics talked poo poo to Ruby Riott backstage and reminded her that even if they lose their title shot, they at least still had each other's backs.
Ric Flair joined Andrade and Garza backstage and said he has a proposition for Zelina Vega.
R-Truth defeated Akira Tozawa (C) to become the new 24/7 Champion.
MVP told Lashley backstage he'd make Apollo Crews pay for disrespecting him.
Seth Rollins did a promo in the ring with Buddy Murphy, Austin Theory (accused in the #SpeakingOut movement) was not there. Rey and his large adult son Dominick appeared on the Titantron to respond to them. Aleister Black and Humberto Carrillo came out to confront Rollins.
Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy defeated Aleister Black & Humberto Carrillo in a tag match. Rollins curbstomped Carrillo on the steel steps.
Asuka and Drew McIntyre were interviewed backstage. McIntyre offered to let Ziggler pick the stipulation for their title match.
Lana told Peyton Royce defeated Ruby Riott, since as Royce told Ruby, Billie Kay had her friend's back.
Big Show was interviewed backstage and said he had no illusions that Ric Flair was setting a trap for him.
Big Show defeated Andrade and Angel Garza when Garza walked out of the match following an argument with Andrade. Vega left with Garza, but pleading with him to come back.
Ricochet, Cedric Alexander, Apollo Crews and R-Truth had a segment backstage.
MVP defeated United States Champion Apollo Crews in a non-title match, following a distraction by Bobby Lashley. Cedric and Ricochet tried to help Apollo and pissed off Lashley.
Bobby Lashley defeated Ricochet in a singles match, and put him in the Full Nelson post-match.
Sasha Banks and Bayley laughed in Dolph Ziggler's face and called him a loser despite Sasha tagging with him in the main event.
Bayley was on commentary for Drew/Asuka vs. Ziggler/Sasha. She did the "wiggles your fingers and go WOOOOO WOO WOOO!" taunt and gleefully asked,"WHO FALLS FOR THIS!?!" when it distracted Asuka and allowed Banks to get the upper hand.
Sasha Banks and Dolph Ziggler defeated Asuka and Drew McIntyre, with Sasha getting the pin on Asuka much to Bayley's utter joy. They ended the show celebrating together, Bayley hesitating momentarily before deciding to let Ziggler join in.
I believe every single mention of the Extreme Rules show tonight had "THE HORROR SHOW" tacked on to it.

It�s a very common Samoan tribal pattern.

Good lord I hate to be that guy more than anyone but Polynesian tribal tattoos are a huge part of the culture for Samoan people and it feels kinda racist to clown on them.

�For Samoans, tatau is a way of life. It is literally a visual representation of one's life and the pain one suffered to get the tatau along with undergoing the extensive and painful process of getting the tatau itself.�

STAC Goat: Mar 12, 2008; Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I tend to just try not to be a dick about anyone's tattoos unless they're like racist or something. Sure, if you put a language you can't read on your wrist or a soda logo on your arm or your brand on your neck or a giant penis sword on your back I'm gonna have to bite my tongue. But in my experience you don't undergo hours of painful permanent scarring on your body unless you got some personal reason for it. And sure, some people's reasons are stupid but it ain't my sleeve or lower back tattoo. So whatever.

i read some of the detailed recap on f4w to see what went on in that Cedric/Ricochet/R-Truth/Apollo segment and just lmao forever at how they use Ricochet

quote:

Crews attacked MVP after the match but Lashley put him in the full nelson. Referees couldn�t stop him so Ricochet and Alexander ran down. They weren�t strong enough to pull Lashley off, and Ricochet somehow fell down in his attempt.

Yeah, the company has doubled down on anti-GIF practices because they only want you watching their product via paying for it on cable (which some people are dropping), the Network (which nobody has anymore), or PPV (which people previously dropped because the company insisted you didn't need it because the Network was better)

Surprisingly this hasn't been as massively successful a power play move as they expected it'd be!

Is this what happened, though? Did any other major GIF accounts get hit? Most of the takedowns I heard about were weird edge cases or blatant outright infringement (sketchy streaming sites promoting full episodes).
