I went for a piss and a drink during that match (if I wanted to watch Bobby Lashley refuse to bump, I'd watch his time in MMA) but I heard about "Wheeler's got a gun"

Wow! Can someone edit @trishsp.bsky.social's "get up and do it again" monologue from the latest @trishandsarahpod.bsky.social episode over a Hangman Page montage? It would be the absolute best.

We should probably be talking more about how WWE effectively bought a massive amount of positive media coverage by taking a lower money deal with ESPN in exchange for the treatment that ESPN gives its content partners.

Having the ability to read this before it went live, I can say this is probably the only article on Hogan I will ever read, but it is a very thorough look at his career and the terrible things that shaped the lasting impressions people had of him as a person. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece.

As well as the Hogan obit, I reviewed Summer Sizzler and hopefully I didn't upset anyone this time.

On the way back from a 12 hr shift all tired and ready to crash when back home, I find out about Hulk's death and after a group chat discussion, I'm starting an obit that night.

I'm going to piss people off with this but I also hope people can read this and understand what a bellend Hulk Hogan was.

Sorry, Sean. This is absolutely not your fault, but I can't give a cent to this guy anymore.

I feel the need to clarify since the Internet is rampant with misinformation. By Janel Grant’s own admission in the Vince McMahon lawsuit, Brock Lesnar did nothing illegal. There was no encounter between the two. Was his conduct unethical? Yes, allegedly. But illegal? No.

Having been at the two Rev Pro Mercedes has worked, it's obvious how much the women's scene in Britain is going to benefit from Mone.

She made Kanji look great in Doncaster and she brought a lot of eyes on Safire Reed, who has IT. Trust me on that one and Mone can only help others going forward

David Bixenspan @davidbix.bsky.social · Jul 28

Mercedes Mone is the first time a wrestler holding a bunch of different belts simultaneously has ever been treated by fans as anything other than incredibly cool, right?

Is it literally just racism and misogyny, or is there something else going on too? (It's probably mostly racism and misogyny.)

God I'm exhausted after that

Safire Reed is the real deal. The future is radioactive

Mercedes was in the main event of Wrestlemania and fucking Star Wars.

She doesn't need to wrestle in Wolverhampton on a Friday night. She WANTS to. To raise up women like Safire who slog with grit and passion for small crowds.

She wants them to be a big deal too.

Slander will not be heard. 🤼
