What a terrible week of pro wrestling.
There was a report that Bray had got better and been prepared for a return. Then he had a heart attack. :(

Funk was sad news but at least he had the opportunity to live a full life.
Bray... heartbreaking when anyone does not even make it to 40 :(

81,035 paid attendances.
CM Punk's tantrum on Jack Perry has been a mess that has also spilled over Tony Khan. Both Punk and Perry are now suspended and Punk may miss All Out in Chicago all together now. :ohwell:
Was nice to see BurningHammer talk to his heroes the other day:

Ali will be a hot commodity in the indie scene right away.
Dolph/Nick Nemeth has already worked as a comedian with his brother Ryan Nemeth, who is working in AEW. So, there is a good chance Nick will show up there.
Rick Boogs is too entertaining not to be called up by other promotions. Same as Elias (Brother Elrod soon? :oldlol: ) and Mace and Mansoor, who were great as Maximum Male Models.
Emma/Tenielle Dashwood has already done very well in indie after her first WWE release so she should continue doing what she left off.
Matt Riddle is also released as well.

Nikita Lyons though...still employed

CM Punk back in the WWE after 9 years.
[QUOTE=Wally450;14856128]CM Punk back in the WWE after 9 years.[/QUOTE]
It's quite a different WWE now that it's Triple H and Endeavor who controls the ship rather than Vince. Punk, not long after AEW incidents that led to him being fired, automatically generates interest and that alone is worth hiring him.
WWE gets a huge clout. Punk gets the money and gets to continue wrestling. Fans gets to enjoy further. Win-win-win.

People are wondering if Punk's ego will be his downfall. I think Trips will take care of punk this time around though.

They don't have any more power than the company itself now that WWE is now truly a corp. They won't let Trips or Punk running things and they can cut Punk easily if he doesn't go along.

Punk also is likely friends with the new bosses and Trips is going to play nice. Punk is basically coming in to win the Rumble and make Roman look strong at WM. The bigger deal is getting AJ Lee back to run a couple programs with the Horsewomen.

AJ has been the head booker of WOW women's wrestling show, the one that Jeanie Buss owns, right now. But who knows if she will return to WWE or not.
Fat nerd BurningHammer caught on video worshipping his wrestling gods:

Kenny Omega had an emergency surgery to deal with what turned out to be diverticulitis, the same disease that almost killed Brock Lesnar. He will be out for a long while. :ohwell:
Charlotte Flair suffered a torn ACL, a torn meniscus and a torn MCL when she fell from the top rope while wrestling Asuka last Friday. She will be having surgery as soon as it can be scheduled and will miss almost a year, at least. :(
Rey Mysterio, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair have reportedly re-signed with WWE. For Charlotte's case, the report says it is "one of the highest deals for woman in WWE history".
So far, Endeavor don't seem to cheap out on WWE like it has done with UFC.
Tanahashi Hiroshi, the long time top star of New Japan Pro Wrestling, has been appointed as the new president of NJPW. :rockon:

I don't believe it!
I can’t think of anything more questionable than posting about sweaty muscled men in lycra on christmas day
Kevin Dunn, the long time WWE head of TV production and arguably the most loyal right hand man of Vince McMahon, is stepping down after what it reportedly is said to be creative difference between him, who personally handled WWE looks and feels in the last 3 decades, and Endeavor, who wants to change directions.
Chris Jericho might end up retired at the end of the year as his sex scandals are breaking.
WWE Raw to begin exclusively streaming on Netflix in January 2025.
The ratings war is officially over.
The Rock has also joined TKO board of directors. A lot of movements today for Endeavor.
Was just reading something about Vince McMahon trafficking a woman and shitting on her head during a threesome. Wtf? :biggums::biggums::biggums:

Brock Lesnar is implied to be involved as well. That has caused his schedule to show up at Royal Rumble this Saturday being altered. They are asking everyone in the company to lay low and only concentrate on Royal Rumble right now.
