> Now WWE looks less like pricks for firing Punk on his wedding day

If anything, Punk’s behavior over the last year has lead me to think Vince was right to tell him to take a hike if he didn’t like his booking.

And it takes a LOT to get me to agree with Vince.

I think it would be funny if WWE trolled the audience on RAW by playing “Cult of Personality” to interrupt someone’s promo like Shaun Michaels did with Bret hart’s theme during his feud with Hulk Hogan back in 2005…

Lana is now part of AEW. After Miro tapped out Powerhouse Hobbs, Hobbs attacked him with a chair and Lana ran out to make the save… after which Miro turned his back on her and walked out.

I swear if this leads to ANOTHER cuckolding storyline between the two of them I’m going to have to apologize to Vince for assuming it was his idea to do that over and over again.

LA Knight was _cold_ today on SmackDown.

“How’s The Miz’s theme song go? ‘I came to play’? Now, if I was a complete moron, I’d say, ‘Let’s look at that adjective.’”

Deep cut on Kevin Nash!

All these years, I thought it was “I came to beg,” probably because of the “gonna get down on my knees” part.

Theory laying down for LA Knight is sort of a big deal I think. Theory’s long overdue for a face turn, his gimmick has worn thin, hope they finish up what they started with him. I think we’re seeing the start of a big but brief LA Knight push. Brief because we’ve seen all he’s got ability-wise. His career is in the hands of the writers and you-know-who now.

First match announced for Wrestledream is Bryan Danielson vs. Zack Sabre Jr., which is definitely dream-match material - the guy whose name is so synonymous with technical wrestling that Meltzer named an award after him, versus the only other person to win that award since it was renamed.

I’ll be in the fourth row of the lower bowl.

Whenever I see DBD talking about his daughter, I remember his heel promo in WWE where he said he would proudly teach her how to kick men in the groin.

“I told my daughter I would retire when she turns 7. Then I’ll teach her how to kick men in the groin. And I would be proud of her for kicking men in the groin.”

I’m not sure how I feel about this.

On the one hand, she’s funny, vulgar, and has a sick sense of humor. She’s also fun to watch in a giant monster destroying Tokyo sense.

On the other hand, she’s careless, has injured her coworkers, and is anti-vax.

Holy shit, a couple of title changes on AEW Dynamite Grand Slam spell bad news for the Blackpool Combat Club.

Eddie Kingston defeated Claudio for the ROH World Championship, and Ray Fenix defeated Jon Moxley for the AEW International Championship in a _tremendous_ upset.

Meanwhile, in the “Things I didn’t know could happen” category, the Tijuana Boxing & Wrestling Commission has suspended four wrestlers for brawling in the crowd at an indy show.

Amusingly enough, the commission, which is actually a legitimate government agency, is keeping kayfabe by refusing to disclose the wrestlers’ real names.

Uh-oh. Mox may have been hurt.

The match concluded with Fenix giving him a cradle bomb piledriver which he did _not_ kick out of, but the referee broke the count at 2 1/2 and then checked on Moxley. Fenix hit the move again and got a three-count, and Moxley received medical attention. He was able to leave the ring under his own power.

But we may have just had an unscheduled title change.

That’s one thing that keeps Renee Pacquette up at night, Jon’s hard core style resulting in him getting seriously messed up after his matches. The human body doesn’t recover as quickly as we age, says the guy who still has achy joints after _vacuuming_.
