WWE posted a silent video zooming in on CM Punk's rear end at various points during the time when he alleged that their doc had misdiagnosed an abscess on his rear end.

It's still up six years later.

Sasha vs. Io was pretty good. I think if they had more time it would have been better. The women's four way was a little sloppy at times and I think Dakota should have won, but she looked good in the match and Tegan does deserve a shot.

I didn't watch, but I assume they might turn it into a triple threat and have Dakota interfere? It seems like Tegan and Dakota is never gonna end.

Should I have expected anything other than a gently caress finish to the main event with Asuka standing tall to close the show?

I enjoyed the main event on NXT, I think it's leading to an Asuka/Io Vs. Bayley/Sasha for the tag titles, which could be a great match especially under extreme rules.

I'm probably not gonna watch it but Sasha/Bayley vs Triple Tails is waaaaaaay closer to what it would take to get me to watch a WWE PPV than anything they've booked in a long time.

It's loving wild to periodically remind yourself that the WWE isn't just the biggest wrestling company in the world, they are the biggest wrestling company in the history of wrestling and they have more money than almost ever before, and this is still the amount of effort they will put forward

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Sasha v. Io was enjoyable. I loved the spot where Sasha was going for the draping drop kick and Io just sat up really fast, that was very cool.

they dont make anything in house, so where would they get a giant nxt banner that said GAB in a weeks notice during corona virus pandemic.

the kairi news sounds unfortunately very much like she wants to go on to her next stage in life outside of wrestling.

Or they could have not panic booked an event on 2 weeks notice during a global pandemic because they're petty.

I can easily believe the Hana news hit her incredibly hard; I just hope she's happy with her next step.

And no one is truly happy in WWE (except maybe Asuka).

Remember the classic saying "you've got to spend money to make money". WWE have said gently caress that, no spend, slow bleed of audience and money somehow keeps increasing.

I just want Sane to form a new Triple Tails with Asuka and Io and for them all to get their own colored mist with unique powers.

Is that too much to ask?

Definitely agree on Hana being a likely reason Kairi might to leave wrestling, but at the same time, I also hope that she is just following KENTA's example on how to get out of WWE, that yeah, she's toootally just gonna go back to Japan and only wrestle for her small home promotion, only to then show up at a joint New Japan/Stardom show to a big pop (or whatever the pandemic equivalent of a big pop is).

i want Kairi to come to AEW and just be so much of an ace that she can carry the entire division with her secondaries in the division of Shida and Rose and Riho to be the main event scene like an AEW four pillars

NXT Great American Bash Night 1 Results 7/1:
  • Detailed Results here.
  • Tegan Nox won a Fatal Fourway Elimination match to become Number One Contender for the NXT Women's Championship.
  • The order of elimination was: Candice LeRae (pinned by Mia Yim); Mia Yim (pinned by Dakota Kai); Dakota Kai (pinned by Tegan Nox).
  • Damian Priest challenged Cameron Grimes to a rematch.
  • Timothy Thatcher defeated Oney Lorcan by submission in a singles match.
  • Rhea Ripley defeated Robert Stone and Aliyah in a handicap match, submitting both simultaneously.
  • Dexter Lumis submitted Roderick Strong in a strap match, despite interference by Bobby Fish.
  • Candice LeRae cut off being interviewed with Johnny Gargano to assault Mia Yim backstage. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott tried to break them and Gargano got in his face.
  • NXT Interim Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar (Jordan Devlin is STILL pictured with Santos on WWE's Champions page at the time of this writing) announced his stable is called El Legado del Fantasma.
  • Drake Maverick tried to jump Escobar and got his rear end beat by Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde. Breezango came to Maverick's aid and a six man tag was announced for next week.
  • Mia Yim and Candice LeRae will be in a street fight next week.
  • Cameron Grimes ignored Damian Priest's challenge and instead challenged whoever wins the double-championship match next week between Adam Cole and Keith Lee.
  • NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai defeated Sasha Banks in a non-title match. Bayley interfered on Sasha's behalf, but then Asuka appeared from nowhere and spat green mist in Banks' face. Shirai took out Bayley, moonsaulted onto Banks and got the pinfall victory.
  • Show Discussion here.

Sasha/Io sounds really good, which should come as no surprise.

They did a mist spot. During a pandemic. Where the virus spreads via droplets. :psypop:

Are they even doing full testing yet?!
