So apparently WWE were inducting pioneering African American women's wrestler Ethel Johnson into the hall of fame. Except:

1) they never asked her family

2) they used footage of an entirely different wrestler.

A truck monkey's gonna get fired. How much footage was of the wrong woman?

Question is, will he still be wearing his retribution clothes like how Roman wore his shield gear 4 years after the shield broke up

and using the Retribution theme (did Retribution have a theme, I don't actually know)

I'll be honest, I'm very disappointed. Would not have expected America and the UK would do robot battles better than Japan.

- TYPERION and POLARIS vs Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly ended in a DQ when POLARIS transformed into a steel chair, 80s transformers sound effects were indeed included as if it were a Braun Strowman match

In retrospect, it's pretty wild that WWE actually went the whole hog on the Kofimania thing. Probably one of the best things they've done in recent memory. Feels like if Vince's current brainworms were in charge they would have had Xavier and Big E lose their redemption match and thrown Bryan into a last-minute feud with Goldberg or something.

Having a completely forgettable reign that ended with him being absolutely ruined by Brock and slinking back to the tag division probably forever is an interesting definition of "whole hog"

I guess I meant the series of really long gauntlet matches culminating in a heartwarming babyface win. Half hog?

Exactly. They do it on purpose to spite the audience and cut the legs off the undeserving fan favorites. CM Punk wins the big one, comes back? Feuds with loving Kevin Nash. Who did Bryan feud with after his big win? loving Kane.

Kind of, the excuse was something about his wife or girlfriend and not getting gross calloused workman's hands or something.

The best part of the League of Nations is that, from my understanding, Owens was supposed to be in it, but he was sick that show. And, instead of getting buried forever for calling in sick, he managed to dodge a creative bullet.

God, I was at the RAW where they formed this poo poo and, in addition to it being a bad RAW(I mean, many RAWs were/are bad, but it was drizzling shits), but I was disappointed when Owens wasn't on the show. Was extremely happy to learn that the bullet dodged in the end.
