Well, this might be the greatest thing you'll see today on the internet.

I've often thought to myself that someone should attack him during that part of the entrance. KO being the one to do it is just outstanding. |

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting WWE has backed off on signing Moose right now due to a past domestic violence allegation with he was in the NFL, given the timing of recent issues with Jerry Lawler and Adam Rose.
It was noted that Moose was told the door is still open for him in the future; he was reportedly expected to be a part of the Fall class at the WWE Performance Center. Moose has also had offers from Lucha Underground and TNA, and he could always stay with ROH. It was reported that TNA offered a deal around $100,000 per year, which is the most of anyone, but plans for his ROH future could always change. According to the Observer, there are no plans with Moose being booked going forward, and plans were likely laid out with the impression he was already leaving, citing losses on TV and PPV, but he could still stay with the promotion.

That's unfortunate for Moose. I heard that WWE cooled on him Monday & immediately thought while watching RuRu vs Titus how much better someone like Moose would be in this feud rather than Titus.
He'll get a big push (if you can call it that) in TNA, but I hope he lands on his feet somewhere else. He's way too talented.
Hopefully WWE reconsiders, because he'd be a great addition to NXT.

He's doing it right in 2016. Go make yourself a bigger star elsewhere and return. Could you imagine the heat if he gets super over in Japan and ROH and returns with a "chip on his shoulder" gimmick. He could do a shoot about how Vince always hated Dusty no matter what he said publicly. Took it out on the family, etc. $$$$$$$$$$

Vince named a black man servant Virgil as a rib on Dusty. Then when Dusty came to the WWF, Vince made him wear polka dots & managed by a sassy middle aged plus sized black woman........Dusty got BOTH over. I'm sure that annoyed Vince a bit.
Wonder if the year Sandow won it, that was supposed to be Cody? There was a time when he was feuding with Orton on Smackdown & they were having really good matches, that he would've absolutely been perfect as MITB winner. Vince just never wanted to take a shot on him aside from IC title level.
Go out & make a name for yourself on the indy scene. Make WWE realize what they missed out on.

Completely forgot about Orton, who is apparently going to be the opponent for Brock at Summerslam.
That's actually the perfect opponent. They've never wrestled. And it gives Brock a main event level opponent. Gives Orton a high profile match in his return. And also let's Brock stay strong regardless of what happens this weekend at UFC 200.

I had considered Orton but for some reason I thought they had and it was forgettable. Will be a great match if thats the case. |

I was starting to think it was gonna be Goldberg after Cole made a "Who's Next" comment last night in regard to Brock's opponent. Just made me think of him.

Interesting time for Goldberg to do Stone Cold's podcast. He also mentioned not liking the way they left. Don't see it happening but with that and video game, some signs have at least teased it.

I just wanted to thank randomone for completely ruining Raw for me for the rest of my life. hahaha
Just kidding but ever since he mentioned the completely neurotic way that Kevin Dunn or whoever the fuck handles the camera angles, I haven't really been able to concentrate on anything but that. I forget which 5 minute women's match I was watching but the camera angles must have switched a good 200 times. Not even exaggerating.

It's so bad. It's ruined the show for me too. That AJ heel turn was what put me over the top. Literally 50 camera cuts within a 25 second span.
Kevin Dunn is pure dog shit.

Orton vs Brock does absolutely nothing for me. Haven't been interested in Orton in years.

Exactly & you can build it up that Orton & Brock came in at the same time and NEVER wrestled. While Brock bailed on the WWE, Orton was becoming a "legend killer". It would almost work out more if Brock lost to Mark Hunt, because Orton can say he'll "send him back to the UFC to get his ass kicked yet again"
While I'd love Angle/Brock one final time. In terms of current roster guys, Orton needs to be the guy. He's the fresh new face Brock can wrestle. Which, saying fresh & new about Randy Orton is surprising even to me.

Lesnar-Orton official for SummerSlam. Weird. Where you seeing this at? Why would they do this with no build? Orton better be at UFC 200. |

**In what will fuel some speculation for next week’s WWE programming, Eric Bischoff has cancelled an appearance for the Toronto-based Destiny Wrestling group for this Sunday night. Bischoff was scheduled to come in for a Q&A prior to the show and serve as a guest commissioner on the show. The promotion could not tell us what the reason for the removal was but they are working on replacing Bischoff with another name. Bischoff is certainly an option as a General Manager and would be one of the best choices for the role. His removal from the Toronto show isn’t necessarily tied he could have still done the show and made it to Providence, Rhode Island for Monday night. Bischoff has been publically denying of late that he will return as a character, but that could also be by design.

Very same Ol' type move on the Stephanie side. He recently did the documentary with WWE. He also has been doing two podcasts with JR. Kind of a small promo tour. I think it's very possible. |

After listening to his RF Video Shoot Interview from last year, Bischoff said he'd be open to returning to TV, just as long as it made sense from a creative standpoint & him as a character.
This would definitely make sense. I've always liked Eric as a character & he and Stephanie have a proven chemistry, as we've seen 14 years ago (14 years, wow)

So on the red carpet of the ESPYs last night, Big Show pretty much challenged Shaq to a match at Mania, which Shaq agreed to, said he'd definitely do it.
While some might think it's stupid, we've all seen that Mania isn't about logical storylines (especially this past year), so having Show, who isn't going to be wrestling much longer, take on Shaq, IN ORLANDO, makes total sense honestly.
Especially if the show is 12 hours like last year, why not throw it on the card? Shaq will get a pop in Orlando & presumably Show will have to put over another celebrity at Mania. Only this time it'll be Shaq, who is respected & not a piece of shit like Money Mayweather.

Ricky the Dragon Steamboat and Mick Foley were at the Kane County Cougars game last night. Really didn't do much, were only on the field for the 1st pitch. Last year Million Dollar Man and Sgt. Slaughter were there, and they were on the field every other inning. Wonder if they got paid, and got the fuck out of there.

This sounds like it will be a much bigger deal than some of the previous suits.
Bloomberg.com reports that WWE is being sued by Jimmy Snuka and multiple other wrestlers. The claim is that the company hid the long-term effects of brain injuries from in-ring performances.
ProWrestlingSheet.com revealed the list of names which include: Paul Orndorff, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Bryan Clark aka Adam Bomb, Ahmed Johnson, Kamala, Dave Hebner and Earl Hebner, King Kong Bundy, Ken Patera, Sabu, Ax and Smash, The Berzerker, Shane Douglas, Muhammad Hassan, Henry Godwin, Mark Jindrak, Marty Jannetty, Heidenreich, Mantaur, One Man Gang and the estate of Axl Rotten.
The lawsuit, which was filed in a New Haven, CT federal court on Monday, is accusing WWE of failing to care for the reoccurring head injuries “in any medically competent or meaningful manner” as well as misrepresenting and concealing the nature of long-term neurological injuries they suffered as a result of their careers.
A statement in the lawsuit stated that WWE “placed corporate gain over its wrestlers’ health, safety and financial security, choosing to leave the plaintiffs severely injured and with no recourse to treat their damaged minds and bodies.”
At this point, WWE has not commented on the lawsuit. Stay tuned for more details.

So, apparently when Stephanie started talking about "lady balls" last night, there was a reason. I guess her autobiography that she is "writing" will be actually called Lady Balls. I'm not kidding.
