Really early Summerslam betting odds and all yeah yeah. Still, Sasha randomly having a huge shift and going from -1200 fav to +180 underdog is notably strange

Maybe she's one of the rumored ten who tested positive.

Jeff Hardy's original plea deal included terms restricting leaving the country. Those terms expired in 2016. While a drug conviction might lead to problems entering other countries on visas, WWE has the legal staff to smooth these problems out and get waivers as needed.

That travel ban, which expired in October 2016, was why he always mysteriously suffered a severe injury right before TNA's UK tour. It was due to a drug conviction he had that prevented him traveling between the US and the UK.

When does Smackdown start so we can get some actual spoilers?

They might just do it so that Asuka gets DQed for kicking too much rear end or counted out or something. Her undefeated streak is pinfalls/submissions only, since she lost that battle royale.

No, I checked-- the WWE Championship originates to another fictional tournament in Rio. That was apparently their go-to.

Negative numbers are the favorites in this system right?

Yeah, negative numbers are the favorite. For example, -650 means that $650 would get you a $100 profit if you win (for $750 total), while a +650 means that a $100 bet would net you a $650 profit if you win (again, for $750 total).

Brock'll win at Summerslam, then they'll rematch at Survivor Series, then they'll rematch at Royal Rumble, and then just when they're finally, finally, finally about to let Roman win, he blows his quad and he retires.

also cant wait for brock to get mad at braun again and refusing to drop the title to him again.

What’s the current record for longest entrances? Because that would come drat close to setting it for a two person match.

Oh, I thought this was a "you can't leave the country" parole sort of thing not a "you can't enter the country" thing.

Canada is pretty strict about admitting people to the country with DUIs, even moreso than the US; generally speaking, one conviction in the US for DUI will get you blocked from Canada, while one conviction in Canada for DUI won't get you blocked from the US (absent other misdemeanor charges). You can get a waiver, though, which is what I'd assume Hardy and WWE's lawyers sought.

I remember thinking distinctly a few years ago that even as they'd continued to ruin some of their most iconic match types, the Iron Man Match was one of a handful that still carried true prestige and they always treated as important and with respect for the stip.

How long until we're having Rumbles on Free TV?

They aired the royal rumble that one time on raw the night after when a blizzard snowed them in, does that count?
