Idk if I’ve ever seen somebody get in their own way more

Lethal is apparently staying in ROH

Also listening to Lars Sullivan speak about his release and I kinda almost feel for him. He takes full responsibility for the idiotic things he’s done and disclosed that he is done with wrestling due to crippling anxiety he suffers from

Too bad about Butch. I thought Doom was badass when I was a kid.

Not really news, but Edge did the 31 Thoughts podcast with Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek. Just started it, but sounds like a good chunk will be about hockey.

Most of it is. I didn't realize he was a huge Leafs fan, I was always led to believe he was a Devils fan.

RIP. Read this and was remembering as a kid vacationing in Florida and watching a match between him and Ric Flair and remembering how great it was. Then I saw this (JR referencing it).

Turns out that Lacey announcing her pregnancy last night is legit, she's expecting her second child. So we're probably going to have a few months of her showing off her baby bump with proud papa Ric to keep her relevant. I'd love to see them bring back David Flair to announce that he's the father to finally get his revenge on his dad for knocking up his gf Stacey Keibler in WCW (I kid I don't want to see it, but there's a certain logic to it)

I don't think she or WWE are going to risk the baby's health. They didn't with Becky's.

They kept bringing out Maria Kanellis though.

That was pre-Corona. I know, she was released on April 15th but hadn't been on tv for ages.

Former WWE Champion Paul Wight Signs With ALL ELITE WRESTLING

So I've been re-watching some Attitude Era on the Network and yesterday I got to the Summer 2000 Raw where Undertaker tosses Show from the stage, which took him off TV so they could send him to OVW to lose weight. While trying to reflect on his crazy first year and a half in the WWF and count all of his heel and face turns and alliances and feuds with Shane in that short time, my wife sent me a screen grab of the AEW announcement on IG and said "Isn't that Big Show?". Cool timing there I guess...

Will be interesting to see how he works out in AEW.

Well that was proven false.

has it been? I haven’t seen that. From what I understand the NHL is the driving factor? Unless the NHL-ESPN deal kills that...which I could see it doing
