WWF/WWE/ECW/WCW

Joe not waiting for the bell, he just puts the hurt on Reigns. Has tossed him into two tables. He threw Reigns into the ring and I guess the match will officially start.

Joe has been dominating the hell out of this match. For sure Reigns is winning.

I hate being right. At least it was a hard fought match and both guys performed at they best.

Alexa Bliss suffered an injury to her left shoulder during her Raw Championship Match against Nia Jax at WWE Backlash. Bliss is currently awaiting further medical evaluation. Stay with WWE.com for any updates on Bliss’ condition.

Dave Meltzer confirmed onWrestling Observer Radio that the injury is real and not an angle

Former WWE star “Big Bully” Nick Busick has passed away at the age of 63. Busick passed today in Weirton, West Virginia.

Busick, who has battled numerous health issues since 2005, was diagnosed with spinal fluid cancer last year and had been under hospice care in West Virginia as of late. His wife noted on Facebook that he passed away with his family at his side.

"spinal fluid cancer"???  Is there no part of the human body unaffected by this scourge???

RIP.

That name does not ring a bell at all but nonetheless RIP

Mostly enhancement talent in the late 80s/early 90s.

The new host of MLB Central this year is a huge wrestling fan. He makes wrestling references all the time. They were just showing a homer by the Pirates' Elias Diaz and he yelled "Who wants to walk with Elias?"

Wow. He doesn't even look familiar to me. How did I ever not see him ?

Big Bully Busick had a brief stint in Global Championship Wrestling (Which aired daily on ESPN) during the summer of 1991, before showing up in the WWF for about a 2-3 month cup of coffee. From what I read, he spent a big chunk of his life in law enforcement, becoming a cop at age 19, as well as excelling in powerlifting. Legit tough dude.

Does anyone here watch NXT? The Johnny Gargano/Tomasso Ciampa feud is probably the best storyline in wrestling at the moment.

Watching the 30 on 30 with Ric Flair. It's my first time catching this. He was definitely the rock star of professional wrestling.

Yep!  Definitely.  I thought that doc was very well done.  Most of those 30 For 30 ones are.  My favorite is still "I Hate Christian Laettner"

Enzo looking even more ridiculous:

I'm stuck watching RAW tonight because the Cardinals played this afternoon.

This is my first time seeing Strowman as a full-on face and it's weird.  I liked him better as a "tweener".

Yeah, but unfortunately, WWE doesn't like to have tweeners anymore.

The ending of the Strowman/Balor match was sooooo predictable.

Elias wants a narrower spotlight so he doesn't have to look at the crowd in Virginia.  "I'm a Renaissance Man - not that anyone in Virginia would know what that is."



I went to college in Virginia and Elias is right on both counts!

Something irked me about the first bout in the gauntlet match. Apart from the fact that Mitt Face was involved in it. Forget the fact that a belly to belly suplex is a stupid finishing move. If you stretch reality far enough, you can believe that after a long grueling match, a well placed belly to belly could possibly knock the wind out of an opponent long enough to gain a pinfall. But that was a belly to belly right off the bat and she won the first round. Makes Liv Morgan look pathetic.

Thankfully I missed it because the Cardinals are playing their usual night game.  I don't think I've seen Smackdown in about 2 months.  I don't even know who's on that show and who's on Raw, not that it matters.

I enjoyed this more than the current product.

Is it just me or does it feel like they pushed MitB a little bit too hard? I mean they still have two weeks to push it and it already feels like it should have been this Sunday.

Cardinals are off again today so once again I'm stuck with RAW.  So I'm seeing Natalya for the first time in a while and she's a face again.  When did that happen?  I swear she switches more often than Ric Flair did.

OK, now it's Strowman vs Roode.  I know Strowman is now a full-on face but is Roode a heel now?  Or is this one of those rare face vs. face matches?


I swear there's so much inconsistency and no "slow burn" feuds in WWE anymore; miss several episodes in a row and you have no idea what you're coming back to.
