There was a segment on a WWE show awhile back; couldn’t have been more than a year or two ago. Somebody sarcastically handed someone a participation trophy, and the WWE crowd started chanting “You deserve it!” Anybody remember who did that, and when? ---

Regarding 2x or 0, I wanna see Adam Page vs PAC, the former Adrian Neville. I think those two wolverines will steal the show. I’ve never seen CIMA before, but has name is a company that merged with mine a couple of years ago (AICPA-CIMA). It’d be funny if CIMA’s teammates had the initials AI & CPA. If that turns out to be the case, I’m putting their picture up in our lobby. ---

The XFL just announced its TV schedule - and Fox has games scheduled for the Thursday nights before and after the next WrestleMania, where you would expect Smackdown to air. ---

Looks like the “Wild Card” thing is a way testing which combination/matchup gets the most ratings. It’s a way their A-listers can attract audiences to both shows. It’s like they’re wanting their current audience to watch both shows. Ok, RAW gets something like 3 1/2 million viewers, and SD 2 1/2 million, so it’s like they’re hoping that 1 million they’re short in SD will more likely watch if there are more RAW stars. I don’t think the math will work in Vince’s favor, but who knows. They’re at least trying something new, but all it’s really doing is saying “Those people who got drafted to SD are really staying on RAW.” Up is down now. ---

The battle royal at Double or Nothing is now called the Casino (battle) Royale, and it has an interesting ruleset I don’t think I’ve seen before; it starts with five men in the ring, and every three minutes another group of five will enter, until lucky #21 gets to enter by himself as the last entrant. Based on the teaser promo he dropped recently, I’m guessing #21 is going to be Jon Moxley (I.e. the sports entertainer formerly known as Dean Ambrose). ---

Truly a case of throwing things at a wall and seeing what sticks. Did they really need to waste time on The Revival shit-show? How about build towards a real title match, or am I just an old fogey hoping for times long gone. All of this is caused by Vince McMahon’s biggest problem for years and years. It’s a definite lack of long term planning combined with an inability to elevate talent. Roman Reigns move to Smackdown wasn’t the problem. The writing of nearly all the wrestlers is the problem, and there is just one man to blame for that, whether or not he believes it is his fault.
