I feel so sorry for Dolph Ziggler. Nearly 20 years of loyalty to WWE and released. I hope that AEW signs him up and gives him a good push.

AEW seems to make the most sense given his brother Ryan Nemeth is on the AEW roster. Would also be a wise decision if they hire Dolph or Shelton to have them as a producer/agent as well to help the younger talent. Could also focus on his stand up career and spend less time in the ring. Either way we will find out in about three months once the 90 day non compete clause is over.

One of the best sellers and he even made Goldberg look competent :ROFLMAO: but therein lies the issue that he sells so well, that it is unlikely that he gets the major pushes he deserves.

That's a pretty good side kick he has there, I'm surprised he hasn't kicked someone's head off!....even by accident :LOL:

If I may say an unpopular opinion, I'm not a big fan of LA Knight. I don't mind the character, but it really does feel so derivative of The Rock/Austin (whom I loved) that it borders upon parody at times for me. I actually find the non-stop 'YEAH's' annoying. One well-timed 'YEAH' here and there would be more than enough.

How did AEW get the rights to use one of Edge's WWE themes?
I thought that. Don't watch AEW but CM Punk came out to his wwe theme initially (don't know about after)
WWE did not hold exclusive licensing rights for the song by Alter Bridge. He can use his Rated-R superstar nickname as WWE allowed the trademark to lapse and had not renewed it prior to him leaving, Similarly, CM Punk’s theme was not internally produced given this was written by Living Colour.

Due to their status as “independent contractors” the smarter wrestlers should be trademarking any catchphrases, names, etc rather than their company receiving consent for them to do so.

Survivor Series emanating from his hometown of Chicago and will be after his non compete clause is up.

Loved Living Colour back in the day, the band and the show with Jim Carrey.
The band were like some kind of hybrid between Guns N Roses and Terrence Trent Daarby :LOL:
Never seen a dude wear a wetsuit in a rock video before that haha
Living Colour - Cult Of Personality (Official Video) - Bing video
