In an interview along side Balor on WWE.com, Matt Hardy busted out with a "delightful!" and a delete. Jeff also mentioned CM Punk.

Ugh, of course it's Lita. She's terrible but it's the only woman they have.

I'm a little surprised it's not Renee Young since she did do some commentary on NXT for awhile so she wouldn't be completely new to it.

I think you want the color person to be a wrestler, especially these shows which are for workrate geeks.

Renee was really bad when she did commentary too. It was like she had never seen a wrestling match and was shocked people got dropped on the mat.

So Vince Russo took out a restraining order against Jim Cornette?

It's a publicity stunt, ignore it. Just ignore Russo in general really.

Jerry Lawler says he got paid $130,000 for his match against Michael Cole at WM27.

The Balls were supposed to hang around ringside for the six-man tag on Raw but Vince was baffled at the racial slur and Dunn was losing his mind backstage so Ambrose was sent out to bring the segment back and cut it short.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Racial slur lol

Didn't ambrose come out before the N word to begin with? Pretty sure.

The Colons have reportedly requested their release.

 

[Shoalzie]

Balls, Colons...the N word...this thread is becoming NSFW.

The Colons have reportedly requested their release.

And Carlos Colon Jr is playing a role on the Netflix GLOW series. Brodus Clay plays his brother on the show. They both make a couple small appearances as they are brothers to one of the GLOW wrestlers.

Chavo Guerrero is the wrestling coordinator for the show.

Awesome Kong is also on the show playing Welfare Queen, lol.

Talented guys, but can't get over at all.

WWE should have thrown money at Carlito. The trio would have been massive.

You can't get over when you're saddled with multiple garbage joke gimmicks then expected to job out to everyone on the roster.

You could say the same of Gallows and Anderson at this point, but the difference is they're being paid 3 times what the Colons are making and they actually enjoy clowning around without letting their pride get the better of them.

Didn't know that about Chavo. Explains why there's a dedication to Guerrero sr. at the end of an episode.

Dave Meltzer's father passed away, so news on the Observer side of things might be a bit slow. Probably won't have a Newsletter this week.

 

[ColePens]

Sad to hear for big Dave.

 

[Kimi]

That really sucks . They only found out he was ill last week, was a real quick decline.

 

[Del Preston]

Smith Hart, the oldest child of the Hart children, also passed away today due to prostate cancer.

I didn't notice that was Morrison, I might re-watch that episode now.
