I often wonder the same thing. Finn Freeze or some shit is what he called it on the instamachine. It's quite stupid for sure.
I probably remember more about SD Jones than I do ADR, that doesn't make him better. Duggan was basically Barry Horowitz with a 2x4.
ADR was trash - he brought nothing
Duggan had a good push then pissed someone off so he was relegated to midcard but was still popular
This previous segment on raw was hilarious. Riddle and Orton went against Gable and Otis in a spelling bee and the announcer asked Riddle how to spell “calibration.”
It took riddle a second but then he said he remembers how to spell calibration because he calibrates his scales to measure out grams and ounces. The crowd went nuts the entire segment.

Is Riddle a druggie? Is it a joke ya know... like Jeff Hardy?
So I’m not in the know but what exactly is the rumor or the expectation for Rumble/Mania? Reigns isn’t dropping right? Can’t do a unification with Brock and Reigns when you have the Rumble winner to think about.
Does either of them drop? Is there anyone that is even worthy of a Mania title spot? Like an AJ, Riddle, Orton? Idk.
Is Lashley fighting Brock? Fill me in. 😂

Cody gonna win it and unify the tnt title and universal title at WM
Riddle is great - apparently Vince finds him hilarious so he keeps getting to do quirky stuff like that
Yea the times I’ve watched he’s at least been one of the few that legit entertained me. He’s got personality. Always thought it was just a gimmick with the whole beach stoner thing.
These are the 3 coolest vids I’ve seen from the GCW show. That first clip is insane. I still don’t know how they did it.
Bandido is probably at the top of my wishlist for AEW. And I know Tony wants him too.

UFC had to release Riddle after two failed drug tests. Nothing bad but pretty sure he's quite the stoner. I actually think he's a pretty good hand. He's great in his quirky little gimmick. That said, I think he could really be something going forward but I think he's too far gone with this schtick to get past it. That won't translate after a while. Regardless him and Orton have actually worked.
I just saw that Walter got a name change. Why WWF why???

He was in the ufc and couldn’t stay off pot so Dana got pissed and told him to kick rocks. He made fun of him at a media scramble and said he would never amount to anything. Then riddle found his footing in wrestling and he gets to be stoned. Win/win for everyone.
I think he will be fine. Big E and Kofi threw pancakes into the crowd for 2 years and they were fine. Riddle is actually a badass so I think whenever he gets into a serious role the fans will buy in. His matches with Thatcher were legit.
Ya I don’t disagree but he was the belt collector before omega then disappeared - was all over impact and even had a cup of coffee in roh
Why are you not a fan? Curious. Some Ryan Satin type stuff (the worst POS covering wrestling)?
Well the first time I saw him do something that pissed me off was him no selling Johnny Impact’s finish to win the impact championship. I was confused by it at first and then I read other stories about guys talking about him. I read that he would get angry when he was supposed to drop any belt to anyone. He seems like a diva.
Cornette has a couple of videos up talking about him. I’m not really a Cornette fan but he always gives great insight. His stories match up with others and I just think guys like that believe their wrestling persona is bigger than it actually is. I don’t really read anything by Ryan Satin because I assume he’s hired by WWE (am I right?) and his work always seems manufactured. It’s hard for me to listen to any interview with an active WWE talent because I know everything they’re saying is being told to them.
He’s definitely extremely talented but his ego was his downfall. He was one of the better in ring performers of this generation honestly.
Pretty sure nobody has wanted to work with Aries since his last match in Impact where he took Johnny Impacts finisher, took the pin and got right up and casually walked out of the ring and to the back. Johnny had a look of disbelief and anger. The fans were booing him.
On a different note, Shibata is nuts. Dude had to have part of his skull removed to keep him from dying on the operating table, now he’s out here doing this…

I've never heard anything good about Austin Aires either. Always heard he is a giant douche.
I think thats an old GIF. He has only had 2 matches since that surgery
NJPW just hits different for me. I don’t keep up as well as I should, but I love watching it when I can
I love it I just can't watch it live because I'm too busy sleeping when their shows are on
I don't think it has anything to do with that. The only person I've ever heard mention that is Cornette and we all know how he is.
Theres the incident with Morrison and no selling him. He had multiple episodes at ROH where he threw a fit backstage due him being booked to lose to anyone. He didn't want to lose to anyone and he wanted to be the world champion in every promotion. People like that just aren't built for the wrestling industry. We need less Hulk Hogans in the business....not more.
^ Yeah, I'm just joking.
Bryan is also very likable so you can overlook the veganism and smell of patchouli.
I would always take any stuff about backstage dealings with a grain of salt unless it came from the talent considering pro wrestling dirt sheets are 90% just speculative BS to provide content.
I think we find a lot of guys refuse to lose. Found out in this Mox book that The Shield refused to lose for a long time despite creative trying to make it happen. So guys are going to be protective of their characters, I'm sure. I doubt anyone could be as bad as Hogan, Austin, and HBK.

apparently Spectrum customers get a free Peacock premium because I just went to sign up so I could watch the Rumble and it gave me a free year
Sorry guys if I knew Ryan was gonna go on a 24 hour rant about AA I wouldn’t have brought it up
Looks like wwe wants rousey for RR and rousey/lynch for wm - wonder if they flip lynch to baby face then?

Badass Paul Heyman with Brock is a zillion times better than sycophant Paul Heyman with Reigns. Roman has handled the split beautifully. He's still money on the mic and the best thing WWE has right now.
