Being in your wrestling gear gives you optimal performance.

this definitely seems like how jinder would think

I now want to see a title change where R-Truth and Carmella escape from a bunch of guys chasing them for the title by taking a taxi out of the arena. During the entire ride, R-Truth is oblivious to the fact that the driver is actually a WWE superstar wearing a half-assed disguise that the audience can easily see through, including Carmella who is freaking out and trying to warn Truth. Then the driver pretends something is wrong with one of the tyres and tricks Truth into going outside with him to check on it while Carmella is still trapped in the taxi. The driver rolls him up, wins the title, and runs off.

He would have retained had he remembered to tape his wrists.

The Iconics backstage continue to be the best thing WWE creates.

wow you really have the bar that low? i'd say nxt takeover myself
---

He might be one of those people who considers them separate entities like the corporate sheeple he is.
---

Yeah I'm willing to take the corporate sheeple route to keep my point!

Or maybe just non-NXT.

Honestly I'm just trying to say that the Iconics are great still.
---

I mean NXT kinda is a separate entity in most ways that matter.
---

the iiconics are very sports entertaining, that much I won't argue with!
---

probably not going to keep doing writeups of my top 5 every week as i think i'm gonna get burned out real quick so this week it's just a list;

1. Matt Riddle vs. Roderick Strong
2. Shingo vs. Ishimori
3. Johnny Gargano vs. Adam Cole
4. Ospreay vs. Eagles
5. Gallagher vs. Ohno

maybe i'll write up the top 5 a month or something

I see Preston is getting famous on twitter too.
---

I see from Preston's Twitter that he apparently lives in San Antonio and now I'm wondering if I've ever actually crossed paths with him at some point.

Somehow I think you'd remember.
---

I don't mean like I had an interaction with him. More like a face in the crowd sort of thing.

Although that would require him to leave the basement where he presumably keeps people chained up so I suppose probably not.
---

I just looked at Preston's Twitter timeline.

Why would I do this to myself?

This is a good summary of what Jon Moxley had to say about his match with Lesnar.

Good lord, I don't blame him for being so disgruntled. That's a bunch of shit.
---

Just goes to show that Brock is terrible for the actual product, it's just the ratings bump his name brings that matters. I'm sure everyone thought it was that way anyway but pretty clear he doesn't give a fuck about except the paycheck. Like I get it because he can but that's so bad for everyone else involved full time

I remember being really hopeful for crazy shit that match and then it was terrible. To me it's pretty obvious Ambrose could have been way bigger if they didn't stifle him so much

Well, I'm guessing everyone will be happy and ratings will be through the roof when Brock cashes in on Rollins and becomes the Universal Champion again!
---

Lol you wwe marks.

Brock is the only good thing the mens roster has going for it so naturally y'all never stop bitching about him.
---

Did anyone hear about that fan who got pulled backstage by Bully Ray for heckling Velvet Sky (a heel), and Bully Ray told him to treat the women with more respect and that not to say anything he wouldn't say to his mother, and to go out and be a fan?

Literally Bully Ray telling a fan to settle down.

Ed and I agree on this.
---

Are y'all suggesting there aren't very legitimate reasons to bitch about Brock Lesnar?

Like just because he's entertaining on the rare occasion he can be arsed to show up, that we should let him off the hook for all the obnoxious and bad things he does?
---

Literally get worked more, ya fucking mark.
---

There are legitimate reasons to bitch about Lesnar but most of them relate to the Dean match at WM
---

Hey, no Dean, no reason to bitch about Lesnar! In fact, I would like to think that Lesnar is the reason Dean went to AEW.

Thanks, Lesnar, for being involved with the coolest moments in two companies.
---

Every wrestler should aspire to be Brock Lesnar.

People who turn their backs on their fellow proletariat because they succeeded in the quest to take wealth from the ultra-wealthy are more of enemies to the proletariat than Vince McMahon is.

A fair point

That was such good shit
---

I love how Vince's idea for a short term ratings boost is to keep advertising that Brock is cashing in, only to have him not cash in.
---

If anyone watches any WWE programming if Brock actually does cash in during the Saudi Arabia show, you should feel bad.

Atsushi Aoki, All Japan Pro Wrestling's Jr. Heavyweight Champion, passed away today in a motorcycle accident at age 41. I don't know a great deal about him except that he was definitely one of the most respected Juniors in Japan, with tributes pouring in from every corner of Japan today.
