You and me both! It's on YouTube. Just look for Zeus vs Abdullah and it pops right up.
It's like the El Gigante vs Nailz level pairing. You don't know why a match like that ever happened, but it did.

Keith Lee?
Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com is reporting that Vince McMahon "threw a fit about the working ability of certain guys on the main roster" and specifically had issues with some of the larger wrestlers.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com is also reporting that an edict came from Vince for several talents to work on "refining and improving their in-ring skills." Johnson noted the following:
"PWInsider.com can confirm that Otis, Keith Lee, Dabbo Kato, Dio Maddin and AJ Styles' bodyguard Omos are among the contingent that the company has been working with on improving and refining their work inside the ring with those talents taking part in regular workouts at the WWE Performance Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays."
In Meltzer's report, Adam Pearce and Drew Gulak were listed as the instructors for those classes.

No Braun either? Every time he runs, it's like Fred Flintstone bowling.

Yet Vince never saw anything in Samoa Joe, a big man who can actually work his ass off.

Imagine sending Andre down in 1987 to work bumps with Tony Garea.

They did a great doc on Keith Lee this past week and his rough upbringing and what he overcame to make it to the WWE. It's really easy to root for this guy and I can't wait to see how they use him on TV after his story is told and hopefully inspires many. Let's look at what he did this week, something great I bet...
An episode of Main Event against Angel Garza
Seriously, fuck Vince.

I don't even know who the IC/US champ is on either brand now. But it should be Keith Lee with one and Garza with the other. Instead they're fighting each other on a show I've never watched.

WHO TALKS LIKE THIS?? Seriously, try reading this without laughing or rolling your eyes. The jist is Orton vs Bray in a stupid Inferno Match this Sunday. Orton is fucked, he hates wearing anything but his gear.
Randy Orton and The Fiend are set to turn up the heat at WWE TLC in the first-ever Firefly Inferno Match.
Orton and Wyatt are no stranger to the destructive flames, as The Viper once sadistically burned down The Wyatt Family Compound. Last week, The Viper trapped Wyatt inside a burning box, but The Fiend emerged unscathed to punish Orton for his brutality. Now Orton will have to step inside The Fiend's twisted inferno, and HE never forgets.
After The Fiend’s mind games cost Randy Orton an opportunity to once again compete for the WWE Championship, The Viper fired right back by taking hold of Alexa Bliss in attempt to coax The Fiend during a tense installment of “A Moment of Bliss.”
The Fiend has changed every man to step into the ring with him, but Orton has proven time and again to be a different breed of Superstar? Can The Legend Killer walk through the fire or will The Fiend burn Orton for his past transgressions?

That reads like the synopsis on the back of a Houghton-Mifflin kids book. Very sure Vince wrote every word of that.

I'd like to think it's some intern it was passed off to and they went to Microsoft Word and used "synonyms" for 95% of this.

WWE RAW viewership hit a record low this week and non-surprisingly the USA Network isn’t happy with the show’s declining ratings. However, the demand for a different feeling show might surprise you.
According to TalkSport, the USA Network is furious about the record-low viewership and declining ratings. It’s said that the network wants “more adult content … not sexy adult, but dark and violent adult.” It’s said that WWE is looking to use the upcoming Royal Rumble as a reset for the company creatively.
This week’s RAW drew only 1.526 million viewers across its three hours. This is down significantly from the previous week, which had 1.736 million tune in. It’s a new low for the show, and a far cry from the 2.437 million that tuned in on Feb. 17 earlier this year.

Side note, Smackdown is on FS1 tonight. The DVR didn't follow it. Probably looking at a really bad number.

WWE forced all their talent to stop using Twitch or Cameo, anything that they can't make money off of themselves, right?
I just looked and Drew McIntyre is $300, Mandy Rose is $250, Jaxson Ryker will presumably do MAGA chants for $50, Angelo Dawkins is $150 and Robert Stone (Robbie E) is $40.
I wonder why they all got a pass and get to be on Cameo but everyone else got essentially banned?

Which is weird. I know Cameo gets 25% already. So I wonder how much WWE takes?
I fell into a Cameo rabbit hole looking up names after ordering one for my dad & grandpa from Cubs radio announcer Pat Hughes, which he crushed!
If you have Cubs fans in your family and want something different, especially in Covid times, Pat was awesome, he even did play calls using their names & did voicemails for them if they wanted.
