Thompson was riding Pritchard’s ass pretty hard in the John Cena one. Accusing him of sucking Triple H’s dick, rolling his eyes and disbelieving Pritchard’s claims about discovering Cena and coming up with the rap gimmick.
Perhaps, like me, he was just getting tired of Pritchard putting himself over so much and claiming credit for everything under the sun.
Both WWE and NJPW are going to be in Daytona this summer (not at the same time). It’s only about an hour away or so, but I don’t think it’s worth it for WWE because we’re getting Smackdown sometime soon and that’s a bit of a trip.
It’s slightly more worth it for NJPW because I’ve never seen them before, but I saw half of them all in ROH and the other half are Japanese dudes I don’t care about or know…so I think I’m skipping that too.
The closest I’d get would be Lucha Underground, but the ones I care about with them have all left too…or I can see them if Impact ever comes back to Orlando.
Sorry internet…guess I’m that wrestling fan
Just wait. If they’re any good you’ll see them all again as they work their career through the different orgs.
RIght now I can just translate that to “If they’re any good they’ll show up in NXT”. Seems to have worked pretty well for me so far 
Meanwhile in Japan, Chris Jericho just won the Intercontentinal championship off Tetsuya Naito with a Codebreaker off of a low-blow, so I don’t think we’ll be seeing him in WWE again any time soon.
Kenny Omega is your new and 66th IWGP Heavyweight Champion, having beaten Kazuchika Okada, two falls to one, with one hour and five minutes elapsed, ending the Rainmaker’s record-breaking reign of 720 days and twelve successful defenses.
This was probably one of the best matches I’ve ever seen. God damn.
And I awoke this morning to find that Alexa Bliss followed me on Twitter. 
I don’t expect it to last more than a couple of hours, but for the brief shining moment, I’m going to crow about it. 
At least he didn’t get destroyed in the 1st round like last time and actually went the distance, but it sounds like his opponent was being either kind or sadistic.
The first round wasn’t too bad, he even got a takedown towards the end. The second and third however, Jackson just hit him at will. By the end Punk was a bloody mess.
Give Punk credit for trying. Then go back to laughing at him, if he can’t take the ridicule then withdraw the credit.
I gotta expect that he’s done now.
Corey Graves took some shots at him on twitter last night for abandoning all of his WWE friends who supported him before and after he was fired, noting that Punk held Grave’s son before he did, that’s how close they were. Not a great look for Corey and I’m not sure why now, but they haven’t been deleted.
Actually a pretty interesting RAM last night. They don’t all suck.
It started off with all the MITB participants on ladders in the ring, all with mics and cutting promos. KO whined to Kurt Angle about Brawn’s reach advantage and later went up to Bobby Roode and Finn to talk up an alliance to gang up on Brawn in the F4W later. Matt Hardy wore a cool looking Deleter of Worlds shirt that had him and Bray in a Yin-Yang pattern. There was no Titus World Wiyeed to drag the show down. Tyler Breeze is wearing more tassles and hangy stuff so he can look flashy when taking a bump. Baron Corbin is bald now and doesn’t look 12 years old. Bailey jobbed to Ruby Riott, but she put over the ever-improving Riott Squad. KO used his Belly of Doom on Stroman a couple of times and there was much destruction. Stroman may not have much of a move set, but he doesn’t seem to mind taking stiff shots and just makes shit look spectacular through sheer presence.
Sam Zayn’s feud with Bobby Lashley is probably the least heat-inducing, because it’s a foregone conclusion he’s going to job like a bitch this weekend. Jinder vs Roman isn’t totally bad, but it’s another foregone conclusion. Ronda vs Nia lacks some kind of spark. They’re from two different worlds, like Lane Bryant vs Bob’s Army Surplus. AoP is still MIA.
I’ll give you the KO splash as interesting wrestling. But wrestlers sitting on ladders and talking in the backroom, i.e., not wrestling, is not very interesting to me.
Dolph and Drew have a ton of potential, if they find someone to work the mike for them. They’re like Buddy Roberts and Terry Gordy in the Freebirds, but they need a charismatic mouthpiece like Michael BS Hayes in their corner.
Golf is officially done for the spring, so I can go back to watching RAW again (at least until the fall).
So…I’m…excited?
Don’t get your hopes up. The 2017 MitB was on Sunday night, I watched some of it and thought that this year they have some really small shoes to fill.
Did they announce which member of the New Day would be competing?
No. They’ll tease it tonight, then not reveal who it is until just before the event. That’s one of their hooks.
My prediction: All three members of The New Day compete, and they tease dissension whenever one of them starts to climb the ladder.
What I’d like to see is for Kofi Kingston to win it. He’s past due.
*BAH-WANNNNHHHHH
BANNNNNHHHHH*
Psyched for LU Season 4 tonite!
LU 4-1 started with a retrospective of the events leading to Dario Cueto’s death. Now Luis Fernandez-Gil is playing Antonio, Dario’s father. He has a gray hobo wig, walks with a limp and talks like Christian Bale Batman. He and the FBI agent who killed Dario are the only ones to attend his funeral, and it turns out Antonio ordered the hit on his own son. “We Cuetos make more enemies than friends.”
The Temple is now in a converted beer keg warehouse, so the theme this season is cold. As in, "Attending the funeral of your son, who you ordered the hit on? That’s cold. The previous seasons were shot through red filters.
Antonio is standing next to Dario’s image on a posterboard on an easel. As he introduces the event, he announces he’s doing things differently than his son and kicks the picture down. This is getting all Godfathery.
Antonio proclaims that he was the one who actually invented Aztec Warfare, and to prove his point, he’s going to start this season off with said match for the LU World title. He has the first 3 participants be the 6-man tag champs: The Mack, Killshot and Son of Havoc (replacing the MIA Dante Fox). This serves to be a way to showcase most of the roster, including a few newbies. It also puts over Pentagon Dark as the Alpha Dog, who winds up winning and keeping his title. He then breaks Marty the Moth’s arm, because he always does.
Newbies include Jesse Goderz aka Mr. Pec-tacular, ECW hardcore legend Tommy Dreamer, and a returning Chavo Guerrero Jr, who I guess isn’t retired after all. After the match, Antonio announces that Pentagon Dark will be defending his title against his *only *son, Matanza!
