Johnny Gargano is in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal and he started by lying prone in the ring. Kit Wilson tripped over him and was eliminated. ---

Holy shit. Liv Morgan comes out to a live version of “Trouble”, and her dancers turn the Sexy up to 11 by actually stripping her down to her wrestling tights. This really _is_ the World Entrance Federation today. ---

WWE has the entirety of the Stephanie Vaquer/Liv Morgan Women’s World Championship match now up on their YouTube channel. Including both entrances and the post-match celebration, the video clocks in at 7 minutes and 24 seconds.

\< 90 minutes of wrestling in a 4 hour program. I missed nothing. Morgan got a ~3 minute entrance, Vaquer about 2. It’s not the entire match though, just 2-ish minutes of actual match highlights. ---

WWE’s gotten too much like a fashion show for me. Lots of makeup and costumes. Not really my thing anymore. AEW may have its flaws, but I prefer dirt tracks to Grand Prix. ---

Oba Femi no-sold the F5, choke slammed Lesnar, and then pinned him after the Fall from Grace. Post-match, Brock left his gloves and shoes in the ring, the crowd chanted “Thank you, Brock!” and he hugged Paul Heyman. Didn’t see _that_ coming. Is he done? It sure looks like it. ---

WWE bringing back Lesnar was the final nail in my personal WWE coffin. I’ll watch clips, preferably on non-WWE channels, but I stopped watching the shows, I unsubscribed from WWE accounts (corporate, not WWE wrestler accounts - those I still follow). They’ll not ever get even one of my eyeballs on their advertising again. Wrestling has always had problematic performers and characters, and lots of things left bad tastes in my mouth over the years. Lesnar’s return was the proverbial straw that broke this camel’s back. When his music hit during that Cena match, I turned off the show and haven’t gone back. ---
