C.S.

Sad news, especially when it's someone so young. I saw him wrestle several times in APW, and of course he was in Barry Blaustein's "Beyond the Mat" documentary. https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2024/04/14/shooter-tony-jones-dead-at-53/

She was incredible, Bubba. Best ring announcer since Howard Finkel and Gary Cappetta. It's typical of the majority of PWO to forget that what they're watching is professional rasslin', which is meant to be over-the-top and absurd.

The Final Boss happened!

Due to circumstances, I couldn't see either night of WrestleMania live. I ended up binging the whole thing. Despite that taking a considerable amount of time, I didn't feel the length at all. Every match was good, and the entire show was well-paced, which is something you haven't been able to say about WWE in decades. Absolutely fantastic Mania with a photo finish, so to speak. I don't know where this ranks among the all-time great WMs - I'm hesitant to put it at the very top without some time and distance to reflect on the show - but it was a good one.

Years of therapy.

I'm a bit concerned you know where either of them live.

Just odd. Even if they're "split up" for now, why risk alienating Dalton Castle - and possibly Johnny Honor Club - by releasing a major component of Dalton's act for no reason? Unless Castle is pivoting away from his current persona?

So much for AEW not releasing wrestlers... While I won't pretend any of those are essential names who have been used recently or well at all, I feel for Stu Grayson, and I'm mildly surprised about The Boys because of their link to Dalton Castle (even though I think there was a split recently?).

Especially when Rock is legitimately the High Chief now. I always expected the feud to be marketed as Tribal Chief vs. High Chief, with Rock saying something like, "You may be the Tribal Chief, but I'm the High Chief, bitch!"

Worst week in AEW history with GOATS Eddie Kingston and Christian both dropping their titles.

Is junior high school something different in Japan? In America, that's generally ages 11-14 (sometimes 15, depending on the school). Did Mach Fumiake really start wrestling that young?

I get where you're coming from, but if Bayley and Io are given enough time to have a banger of a match with enough outside drama from the rest of Damage Ctrl, they can come out of WrestleMania and have everyone talking about them - just like Christian did when he carried Edge, The Hardys, and The Dudleys in a TLC match.

Not everyone liked the Buff episode...

It begins... Maybe. (Booker T is known to put out pointless worked feuds - such as with Corey Graves a few years back - for his own amusement, clicks, or...reasons.) “I did. I saw Punk. No, we’ll talk about that off the air. But I almost had like a little run-in with CM Punk. The internet might want to pick that up. Me and CM Punk almost got into it at NXT this week. We’ll talk about it later. I don’t want to put it out there because they’re gonna pick it up and run with it. But yeah, I’ll talk to you about that off the air.”
