A great technical wrestler and very athletic.

Kayfabe still alive and well.

Back when kayfabe was still adhered to, a few incidents you may or may not be aware of:
Vader in Kuwait:

David Schultz and John Stossel (episode about the incident on Dark Side of the Ring):

and the Belz (Richard Belzer) using his settlement money from a successful win in court against Hulk Hogan to buy a chateau in France that he named ’Chez Hogan’.

I'm still unsure whether Grayson Waller (aka Matthew Farrelly) was genuinely upset or whether it was staged.

Quite a few notable names making their way to Ballarat now.

 

[Connoisseur]

Highly recommend the Stevie Richards YouTube channel if your are interested in educational and technical videos.

Maven Huffman another great channel with very interesting and refreshing insights.

I've been watching a lot of Maven's videos recently. I definitely recommend them.😁

There is speculation online that Seth Rollins' injury doesn't look good. I guess we'll have to wait until the MRI results are made public.

First TNA promo from Nic Nemeth.

Bloodline story has to end at WM. (nearly a year too long)
So boring now especially after Sami and Jey left.

I 100% agree. It was awesome, but WWE creative kept it going far too long in hopes of getting The Rock to come back for a match vs Roman (which they have finally now organised).

I feel that the interesting part now is just how will they end it. Will it be:

A) Roman loses the titles pre-WM then The Rock vs Roman Reigns at WM 40 to conclude the story
B) The Rock vs Roman Reigns at EC then Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns at WM40 for the titles
C) The Rock vs Roman Reigns at WM40 then Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns at Summerslam for the titles to finish the story.

If Seth is out short-medium term, will they make him vacate the title or will he hold it and try for him to recover for Wrestlemania?

If he vacates it, could Punk vs Seth still happen at WM by having Punk claim the title at EC, have Seth rest up, and then have Seth come back in time for WM?

🤔

Think Seth vacates and they have a title match at EC.
Drew, Punk, Cody plus 3 others.

Could also have D) Roman pulls double duty at Wrestlemania and faces both Rock and Cody on seperate nights. Expect Rock VS Roman to be a short match given it is unlikely that Rock can go for extended periods without plenty of interferences and stops. Problem would be in what order and when on the card and seems the most unlikely.
