You forgot Hulkamania already? That could be a good thing. ---

Well I tried to. Dear lord I’d rather see Rick Flair again then him. I hope I haven’t been such an awful person that I end up in the same room in Hell with those two and Jimmy Hart. ---

You missed him promoting his new beer line (in which WWE allegedly has a stake) more than WWE, Netflix, wrestlers, or anything that isn’t Terry Bollea. At least he avoided any outright racist statements. He apparently arrived at the arena in a MAGA t-shirt, which probably didn’t help the reaction in LA county. ---

It’s kind of sad how Jimmy Hart’s lips remain firmly attached to Hulk’s ass, like he has no career otherwise. ---

CM Punk declared for the Royal Rumble on the 1/13/25 RAW, and asked for them to play his music. Seth Rollins’s music played again, and I loved Punk’s reaction. “Why can’t it be Rhea Ripley interrupting me?” ---

Another great quote from this week’s RAW, this one from the main event: Right before giving Finn Balor the South of Heaven to win the match, Damian Priest said to him, “I am NOT my brother’s keeper!” This week’s RAW was about 2 1/2 hours. ---

We have our first matches for the next edition of SNME, which will be airing on the 25th; Jey Uso vs. GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship, and Bron Breakker defending the Intercontinental title against Sheamus. If EVER there was a time for Sheamus to finally win the IC belt and become a Grand Slam champion, this is it. I really hope they have Jesse Ventura do commentary again, because he was legit one of the best parts of last month’s edition. ---

As glad as I am to see Pentagon in the big money league, I don’t think anything will match his tenure in Lucha Underground. He had a real mystique there in addition to his fucking amazing in-ring work. WWE tends to sanitize the underground element and abandon/repackage when it doesn’t get over. ---

Vampiro coming to the ring in Papa Emeritus cosplay and getting absolutely murdered by Penta only to be revealed as his Sith Master has got to be one of the greatest hardcore matches any promotion has ever put on. ---
