Apparently the betting odds for the Women's Money in the Bank match are heavily in favor for Carmella of all people.

That's surprising.

That's who I was expecting actually.

Apparently Paige is hinting at her return. Even as one of her biggest supporters, I don't see it even if she gets medically cleared. The only thing I can think of is if they have her out to promote the movie about her family, but I don't see them giving her any prominent role.

It's a nude day, yes it is?

More than 6.

Kenny is going to get more than 6 figure deal when they sign him.

How do you fix the ratings?

Justin Gabriel broke a leg, a hand and lost a finger in a base jumping accident
---

Fuck man. That is horrible to hear. Will he be able to wrestle still without a finger? I don't know how that would affect his grip and whatnot.
---

Shit, poor guy.

Had to look up what base jumping was, fuck that noise.
---

Probably depends on the finger. As long as it's not a thumb I don't think it would change much.

Can always work around it if it limits things in some way. Zach Gowen can work without a leg!
---

I should point out he broke both ankles base jumping last year

God that first tweet was so mediocre and it was followed up by such a damn fine joke that it looked even worse. It got straight-up Lugered.

Oh my God the Wrestling Observer interview with Matt Riddle. What a freaking burnout. Dave asks him a simple question and he just goes "Yeah!" And then nothing else, so Dave has to ask him again. This is hilarious.

I wish I could have never watched wrestling to understand it like she does.

On Randy Orton: "Seems like he has a bad attitude and drinks a lot of Monster so hes obviously not winning"

You know I would've sooner assumed Mayweather would've been the Brawl For All champ through Big Show somehow.

Benoit's surviving son trying to make it in WWE has to be one of the more potentially awkward stories of the next few years.
---

What's even stranger is that he actually just looks like a younger version of his father.
---

It's not really THAT strange for genetics to work that way.
---

They either need to put him in a mask or lean into it super hard if he ever makes it.
---

I meant more that it's strange to see him trying to get into the WWE without doing anything to try to distance his look from his father's. Bust out a couple teeth and he's basically identical to him.

I mean, what do you want him to do? Get plastic surgery?

Also they'll just do the same thing like they did with Vader's son and give him a generic name and not even comment on who his father is (I could be misremembering this, though).
---

Yeah but, like, the media would make a thing about it so that no one wouldn't know. No one outside wrestling cares about Vader.
---

No, I was thinking about something many times more logical like shaving his scruff and changing his hair style.

And they would mention he was Vader's son on commentary occasionally.
---

I'm going to suggest he not use the diving headbutt
---

Do you give him the crossface though?

Or maybe the sharpshooter?
---

I mean Tamina is the daughter of a murderer and no one cares.
---

Wasn't Snuka's case dismissed?

I mean, he totally did it, but in the eyes of the law he's innocent!
---

Talk is Jericho with Big Show. Big Show just completely buried the writers and said he hates Mondays on Raw because they give him terrible ideas and that everyone just looks around at each other bewildered and asks why they're doing this awful stuff. I was positively stunned when he just started trashing them out of nowhere.
---

That should be a surprise to no one. The only things I've enjoyed on Raw in the past few months are Samoa Joe and the feud between Cesaro/Sheamus and the Hardys.
---

yeah but show doesn't strike me as a "publicly trash his coworkers" kinda dude

EDIT: Oh hey I see netflix has a show about GLOW for some reason. Is that worth watching? I don't know much about GLOW other than that it existed
---

How do you fire someone who is retiring and is now financially secure?
---

You run their strip mall out of business and then buy their house.

Also, found this gem in a recent interview with Scott Steiner...


“I am already in a couple Hall of Fames like the Michigan Hall of Fame and the Dan Gable Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame so my accolades speak for themselves. Let’s just say I’m not losing any sleep over any Hall of Fame induction. The one Hall of Fame that I refuse to go in is the WWE Hall of Fame because do you know where it’s at? Where is it? Do you have an address? It’s a bunch of bullshit. If they called me up, I wouldn’t go because there’s no address; you can’t go see it, so, where is it? What do you think they do with that Ric Flair statue, the one he was jumping up and down over? Where do you think that statue is at right now? If you had to guess right now where do you think it’s at? I say it’s in Triple H’s bedroom. Let me ask you this, do you think they made a statue of Macho Man? If they made a statue of Macho Man where did you think it would be? It would be in Stephanie’s bedroom. It’s a freaking joke.

It's also from the creator of Weeds and Orange is the New Black. She pretty much walked away from OitNB to start this show from what I've read and seen. So if you liked either of those shows, it's probably worth a shot. I'm pretty excited.

Scott Steiner still doing God's work in 2017, beautiful.

So with only five matches announced is it going to be a two-hour pay-per-view or will we get some unannounced matches
---

They haven't built any other feuds, so...eh!? Fashion Police/Colons if they are desperate. Probably Harper/English on the pre-show or something. Man they screwed Harper's momentum badly. Anyway:

Corbin
Carmella
Jinder
Usos
Naomi

Hype Bros vs. Colons has been confirmed for the preshow, making six matches. That being said my picks are basically the same as Strife's, plus a Hype Bros victory

PJ Black spoke with Interactive Wrestling Radio for a new interview shortly after his injury in a base jumping accident. The highlights and video are below:

On the severity of his injuries from the accident: “The short version is, I jumped. My body position wasn’t perfect. The parachute opened with a 180-degree turn, so instead of flying away from the building, I flew straight into the building. I managed to kick off one of the ledges and flip myself around, but in doing that I broke my ankle, and then while I was flipping around my finger got caught in a satellite dish. It ripped the tip of the finger off. I’ve got two titanium plates in my leg, and a pretty messed up finger, but I’m alive so that’s pretty cool.”

oh gosh, this could be a very depressing WOR.
