Anyone remember Billy Red Lyons. A hero from my youth.
No, he didn’t appear in any of the wrestling shows I watched, which were mainly NWA. His bio says he was in WWF but left before they made their national debut. I do remember his tag partner Dewey Robertson, who became the Missing Link.
Steve “Mongo” McMichael, Pro Football Hall of Famer and former member of the Four Horsemen, has passed away from complications of ALS.
Zelina Vega defeated Chelsea Green tonight on SmackDown to win the Women’s United States Championship.
The Street Profits retained the WWE Tag Team Title in one of the best TLC matches I’ve ever seen.
Skull and Bones through a table.
Frogsplash through a table.
Spear from a ladder through a table.
And in the climax, Montez Ford climbed the ladder from the inside out and claimed the title belts.
Bianca Belair suffered a couple of broken fingers at WrestleMania, and she’ll be out for a little while.
and her husband Aleister Black made his return.
WWE has released Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, Dakota Kai, Katana Chance, and Kayden Carter.
Gigi Dolan, Cora Jade, Eddy Thorpe too
After watching SNL this week, I’m convinced that Benson Boone and Logan Paul were separated at birth.

Thanks. I really appreciate having to look at a picture of Logan Paul.
HEADS UP!
We’re going to have a World Heavyweight Title match tonight on RAW, as Jey Uso defends against Seth Rollins.
El Grande Americano won the Speed Championship from Dragon Lee before RAW aired.
We got a Chad Gable title run before GTA6.
Backlash was halfway decent. Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest are going to fight forever, aren’t they?
El Grande Americano interfering in the I-C Title match means a likely feud against Penta. Since he just fought Rey Fenix at WrestleMania, maybe this is how the Lucha Brothers get together.
R-Truth interfered in the main event, preventing Orton from punting Truth’s “childhood idol” Cena.
The Cena-Orton match was way more fun than I had expected.
At the post-show press conference, R-Truth congratulated Cena on retaining the title, saying he’s been a fan of his a long time even though people say he can’t wrestle. Cena said “Ron, you’re outta line” and gave him an Attitude Adjustment through the table.
A few weeks after his retirement match against Joey Janela, Sabu has passed away at the age of 60.
The article doesn’t say how he died, but I assume it was natural causes instead of a spectacular bump.
Braun Strowman is getting his own show, Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman, debuting on the USA Network in the fall of this year.
It follows him on a culinary journey across the United States as he tries to eat every last bite.
Could be entertaining.
Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker vs. CM Punk/Sami Zayn has been added to the Saturday Night’s Main Event card on May 24.
