It was to be WWE published but their not-at-all scared title of A Touch of Young caused too many preorders by Velveteen Dream.

Big Dave with the Scoops

Sane, 31, is returning to Japan to be with her husband. This has been in the works for a while and the company has known about it since May if not earlier. Sane was injured by Jax legit by being thrown into the ring steps hard when she was too close to the steps to control her bump on a Raw match taped on 5/26, which had to be stopped and was edited before it aired on television on 6/1. That�s why she hasn�t been around since, although she is cleared and is scheduled to appear on Raw soon as she is listed for the 7/3 tapings which would be for 7/6 and/or 7/13. But the decision at the time was to not harp on the injury on television nor talk about it at all publicly which is why they never played it up and her name hasn�t been talked about. The idea in play before the Sane-Jax legit injury was to do a career-ending injury angle with her later when it was time for her to leave, which was to set up Asuka against that person at SummerSlam for the title. This is also likely changed since Heyman left, and the person who would have most likely (not confirmed) been put in that spot would be either Flair, who may or may not be back by then, or Baszler, who Vince removed from television. The only thing we know is the person who ended her career was not scheduled to be Jax. While there�s been no talk about it of late, there had been talk that once her contract with WWE was up that she would wrestle one more year in Japan and then retire.

I’m glad that after an unconscionable amount of time of this forum Always Badding Sasha and Bayley, it’s now accepted that they’re far too good for the bad company

Glad im not the only one who is glad that nonsense is over, having to deal with people saying Sasha was the worst worker and too dangerous was painful.

People have moved onto always badding the in ring of Ricochet. Not Ricochet the Cop, Ricochet the in ring wrestler.

Im waiting for this to go to its logical end for the Always Badding of AJ Styles.

I guess this might be but Sasha did basically spend years spinning her wheels while they kept pushing the likes of Lacey Evans for no explicable reason.

it wasnt meant to be jokes as much as "oh heres another woman they continue to underappreciate and gently caress up despite clearly being their best draw"

reminder that they were trying to pop NXT numbers with Charlotte before they finally gave up and gave Sasha a shot and oh look it turns out Sasha and Bayley are more popular than Charlotte

the aryan white woman worse than the black and hispanic team? how can this be?!

No theyre right. Vince told Vince he wanted his four best guys so he sent up those four.

Two problems

It killed Ciampa v Gargano as they were in a blood feud in nxt and now were teaming

Secondly this was when Gargano needed neck surgery because i think he got injured on the main roster

With no Ciampa they sent Gargano back down

we are through the looking glass - now people are demanding RAW breakdowns be about how they did in the demos instead of total viewership and how they were #3, #4, and #6 in the demos for the night.

The slight catch is in THE 18-49 demo this is the second lowest demo rating for RAW ever as well. They were #1 forever and down 60% in the last two years.

Machine Gun Karl Anderson vs. Tanahashi for the IWGP title was my intro to New Japan. He loving rules when he gets to go.

The problem is that match was an exception really, he never reached those heights again. He was in there with Prime Tanahashi who at that time was the best wrestler in the world and some would debate even better than Prime Okada (they would be wrong but nevertheless). It's not helped by that Gallows pulls him down.

What i'm saying is Matt Bloom shpuld come out of retirement and become Giant Bernard again and team with Karl.

In 2019 i said often and repeatedly that WWE had the single most talented roster ever assembled in wrestling history. Seriously if you looked at their roster they were so far above every other era it was insane. And yet today i can safely hand on heart say that TNA has a better product than WWE does.

The Death of WWE is going to be a masterpiece because it proves that you can sign the best actors in the world but if the script and director are loving juvenile and insane they cant salvage it and it only hurts their careers.

WWE is the Movie 43 of wrestling.

Former Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson demanded an aisle seat on the plane from any of the NXT rookies. When Bryan said he was a rookie and had a seat by an aisle, Jackson said: “Not anymore you don’t… I’m taking it.”

When D-Bry refused, William Regal got involved and told an infuriated Jackson that Bryan “has more talent in his little finger than you do in your entire body”. Jackson then left and Bryan gave his aisle seat to somebody else.

I could see it being plausible if you already try your hardest to never see your spouse inside your own home pre-covid but yeah it seems incredibly unlikely that he won't catch it.

Edit: Living in a 5000 sq ft house doesn't hurt either. Again though, it's incredibly unlikely.

covid can survive on surfaces, so just not seeing someone but them being able to move around if you cross paths with where they were lets say a kitchen for example and you have a compromised immune system already
