Am I the only one that gets a bit weirded out with the whole double entendre aspect of Cole and McAfee making “yeet” jokes on TV, but also talking about the kids that Jey Uso gets on TV “yeeting”?

There is another ringboy lawsuit coming out. Might not be the best look for the company.

Couple things from SNME:

1) Thank god all parties realized that it would benefit NOBODY for Hogan to come out and get shit on in his hometown. I was hoping for that though.

2) Can we switch Joe Tessatore and Pat McAfee? Although I would hate to subject Jesse Ventura to that for all the in-between segments.

3) CM Punk and Sami Zayn going old school with the matching tag-team ring gear colors that for some reason wasn’t discussed at all on prime-time NBC television…

4) Credit for Heyman trying to carry the big names in this group with Rollins (who hopefully avoids turning into Jericho). And thankfully he isn’t responsible for paying them. Good to see Bronson back; just don’t jump off of cages please.

5) Zelina Vega vs. Chelsea Green was the best argument for why cutting house shows was a terrible idea. Best wishes to Chelsea’s nose. Somewhere up there, Dusty Rhodes is shouting “DON’T DO SHIT YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO KID!”

6) I already knew R-Truth wasn’t winning, but when was it made clear that he wasn’t wrestling the champion for the championship?

7) Did Priest and McIntyre do a double-turn? Also, I’m 100% with Ventura. Walking out of the cage to win is bullshit.

8) Having a main event match to build another match at another show with a rushed promo since you ran long is probably why AEW will likely turn in a more enjoyable show this weekend as long as they limit how much they listen to Meltzer.

9) Way, WAY too many commercials.

I know that sounds like an old man complaint, but the flow of the show was SEVERELY disrupted by constantly cutting away from the action to shill more DUDE WIPES or whatever. It's hard to get into a match when you have to watch like eight ads before it starts and then eight more ads after three minutes of action.

Like, damn, TKO, sorry I'm not there in-person having paid for 400 dollar nosebleed seats. You don't have to bludgeon me with pitches for more DUDE WIPES to make up the cash ASAP.

I watched AEW for the second time today, and the first time with the volume on (didn’t have headphones on my flight to Seattle the first time I watched it).

Can’t tell you much about what the hell I actually watched because I invited a girl who was into AEW over and we fucked each other’s brains out. So based on that, Tony Khan has my vote for booker of the year.

R TRUTH WAS RELEASED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

actually i havent watched raw in some time

Damn, we all got swerved, bro.

Last nights RAW… where do I start?

1) Hope Punk has decent life insurance and a heavy turtleneck if he’s actually going to get booked to perform at Night of Champions. I guess he’s already performing in an authoritarian country. Credit to all the keyboard warriors who have been proven right that he’s a hypocrite (granted you missed his contradiction from that MJF promo about main-eventing day 1 of a 4-day extravaganza and then getting released).

2) Hey, Bayley is back.

3) I would still rate Ron Killings below Busta Rhymes for cutting their dreads off on camera.

4) Liv Morgan really missed a chance to get nuclear heat. She should’ve asked how Nikki Bella’s father-in-law is doing? At least she did get the Cena mention in (I was actually waiting for them to do a run-in since they were both on the show).

5) So did Gunther win because he’s going to do the job for Goldberg? I guess Gunther, Kevin Owens, and Bray Wyatt are a strong group to relaunch the J.O.B Squad (not sure how they’ll include Wyatt since he’s not currently under contract and whatnot…). That was an interesting run for Jey Uso.

…nevermind. Next week she separates her shoulder in a freak accident in the first 5 seconds of her match with Kairi Sane. Really sucks that Kairi has been in 2 matches that have involved serious injuries (NOT SAYING SHE WAS AT FAULT). I would say that should be the cue to go home with the Judgment Day, although I guess this is how you have Roxanne Perez swoop in and take the woman’s tag team title and Dom, then Liv comes back to a big babyface pop. I’m only figuring they’ll just hand over the women’s tag title because they don’t fucking do anything with those belts.

…that one wasn’t too bold of a prediction since they telegraphed doing it back when Gunther cut a promo on Bret Hart, and then Goldberg (I think they were in Atlanta; Badd Blood, right?).

Im mostly just confused because Goldberg has had a career of opportune and inopportune pushes. His WCW run was done damn near by the textbook until he started getting exposed, and really went to shit when the likes of the NWO and Russo got involved. Fast forward a few years later, and one of the most fearsome people in pro wrestling is wearing a wig with Golddust, and in segments with the Super Hero In Training (“GET IT PAL!?! IT’S SHIT! IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE IT’S SHIT!” BY THE WAY, WHERE’S MY PARALEGAL?!?”). Fast forward several old ages later, and they perfectly do a return match where Goldberg squashes one of your biggest names in a complete surprise, only for them to complete fuck that up by trying to go to that well way too much.

I get Goldberg is a big name in the overall scheme of pro wrestling. I’m guessing he got put off real quick if he ever talked to Tony Khan and that’s why he didn’t get that massive payoff (I’d try to look into that story more, but oddly a lot of folks with some info on that have NDAs out of nowhere regarding it). I know him and Triple H aren’t inviting one another over to the backyard BBQ, but I guess this just happened to work to get a big match on Saturday Night Main Event, which likely will fit directly into the sliver of time they afford for 3 minutes of wrestling between 15 minutes of commercials.

I just don’t see how anyone benefits from this. Goldberg came out to do a promo with a noticeable limp. He’ll probably lose in an untapped backstage segment with a door or a soda machine and give himself a concussion. He’s going to run the risk of injuring one of your main guys, or himself because he has so much pressure to go out on top. One only positive I see is this won’t be Sting’s retirement match with a bunch of other goobers shooting fireworks out of their ass to distract from the old man in the middle of it all, but it’s not like I can believe Gunther getting squashed in a short amount of time, or late-50s Goldberg going into deep waters with Gunther.

So either the match ends in the awkward “big Austrian guy kills the Jewish guy in front of his family” (that may have sold well in Saudi Arabia), or Goldberg buries one of your best heels just so Seth Rollins can cash in.

…speaking of Saudi Arabia, are they still going to fucking do that show now with all the shit that just popped off? I know everyone is just trying to build up a decent amount of savings for this impending shitshow of a recession we’re probably barreling into, but you might want to consider that you need to be alive to spend said money.
