Interesting that the article states that under previous ownership, it might have warranted just a light suspension, if that. Mexican and American promotions really _are_ different.

IIRC, Crash didn’t even have a doctor on hand the night Perrito Aguayo died in the ring, and they had to haul him out on a piece of plywood because there was no stretcher available.

Not true. The doctor was already handling two other injuries at the time, but he _was_ present.

In any event, Perro died almost instantly. I doubt he even had time to feel pain.

What’s going on in Sami Zayn’s mind? Does he even know?

I’m having a hard time taking The Bella Twins seriously as opponents to The Irresistible Forces, Alexa and Charlotte, RHIYO, The Kabuki Warriors, or really _any_ elite tag-team. They’re supermodels and reality TV stars, trophy wives who aren’t that good in the ring and weigh about 120 pounds each.

And they say they got next? Nia could take them BOTH out in a handicap match. Smash em, stack em, pin em.

HA! Nia just thew Brie into the middle of a Charlotte pump kick and Charlotte visibly said, “MOTHER FUCKER!”

Drew McIntyre quit WWE at the top of the show on SmackDown, claiming he was the victim of a conspiracy and was tired of being screwed.

But that was a ruse. He reappeared in street clothes in the main event between Jacob Fatu and Trick Williams and handed Trick the biggest win of his career on the main roster.

You don’t suppose the Cody/Randy contract signing will be interrupted by violence as usual, will it? Or will Sami appear for the fourth time on the show?

**YUP!** He beat the hell out of Cody. He even kicked him in the balls and conchairtoed him. And Cody’s last words to him were, “I will always love you.”

Randy Orton will be the heel at WrestleMania.

An OVW referee suffered a severe seizure last night during a match, and the wrestlers worked around him for a few seconds before realizing what was happening.

It took two full minutes for him to get medical attention.

Looks like we’re getting a Lucha Brothers reunion and it might even be as early as tonight at AAA Rey de Reyes!

Penta has also announced that he will put his Intercontinental Title on the line not only on RAW but in AAA.

Bayley has arrived in AAA to challenge Flammer for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship! Flammer is one day away from setting the record. Can she survive?

Flanmer retained when two women interfered. Does anybody know why they got involved? Were they her friends?

God damn it, WWE. You dropped the fucking ball.

El Grande Americano, Kaiser, won an entertaining match to become Rey de Reyes, and they didn’t even show him getting presented with the sword.

I’m not going to anger any tribalists by saying whether this would have been better or worse for the wrestling product, but this would have been horrible for the workers. More major employers is better in every industry. With only one big company, wrestlers would have no leverage.
