Kacy Catanzaro is apparently done with WWE. I thought she had potential, but (and this might sound mean) she was already annoying me with her relationship with Ricochet. I won't be too sad to see her go. Her moveset was like Kelly Kelly on steroids. I’m glad I’ll never have to see my faves pretend to try to make that look good. |

I thought this was Jonathan from Queer Eye.

I understand the Balor debut since they were wanting eyes away from AEW and he's a familiar face. I was way more into Ciampa's return though. Just keep him and Johnny away from each other.
The women's title match was great. Candice coming so close to be thwarted was good. They should have had her win in the end though. I'm kind of hoping for a Riott Squad reunion to happen with them going against Shayna and her goons. I mean if they're calling in main roster people anyway.

WWE put out the following statement:
Lmao, they must have heard that they were about to get beat in the ratings.

Jordan Myles is rightfully calling out Vince and Triple H for this racist t-shirt design.

Oh my God, I didn't notice at first and thought it was just a generic shirt but after reading comments you can't not see it. How the hell did that manage to go through however many stages of development without someone pointing it out. This is worse than the Sin Cara shirt that had a huge penis on it.

I mean good for him. People can say he's trying to get noticed all they want but the t shirt was at best a massively ignorant oversight. Combine that with the Hogan debacle and him becoming a big selling point for the next big event they've got coming up and a public face of the company in spite of everything, the constant unwillingness to value performers who are POC bar a very select few, the celebration of Trump and clear as day connections they have to him, not to mention the endless Saudi events and that whole debacle.
And yes, they've chosen to celebrate (/capitalise on) equality for women and LGBTQ+ representation in the last couple of years, but again, there has never been an apology or a sense of culpability for the fact that they were the ones who were perpetuating the treatment of women as a side show and sex objects, the hyper homophobic jokes they wrote for the FACE OF THEIR COMPANY John Cena and commentators like JBL and Tazz on a weekly basis long after the rest of the entertainment business were starting to take the hint, etc etc etc.
Ultimately they can bang on about progression and equality all they like, but they refuse to acknowledge that the company epitomised and perpetuated the problem for years and years, and until they do that it's hollow. And the sad fact is that they continue to perpetuate it in different ways, they just have a lot more smokescreens in place to distract from how horrible they are.
He should absolutely be commended for speaking out, and more need to do so. It's just a shame that they have such a monopoly on the wrestling business that it's so hard for anyone to put their jobs at risk in that regard.
More shame on me as someone in his late twenties who took three years to finally stop giving them and their network my money...

How did Jay Lethal manage to catch a stray bullet in all this.

Did y’all fucking see Tony Nese vs. Garza Jr. where Tony ripped Garza’s tights off so he had trunks on underneath? Literally a BPW match. 💀

The war games matches sound insane, especially the women's one. I hope the main roster gets one next year.

I hope next year NXT starts filming in actual arenas. Full Sail looks too small time and it's the same fans every week.
