Yeah, I kinda wish WWE Network stayed its own thing if only because I don't care how poorly something aged, I'm not a fan of going back through the catalog and having to censor things to please Peacock execs.

The censorship definitely got worse with them going on Peacock. I wish they’d never censor anything but I also understand why they do. They should have the option for a censored version, or uncensored with a disclaimer. Also someone should spend some money on some music rights because the song dubs that are there suck ass.

I know this is obvious, but Ospreay is so fudging good my god. This match against Takecrapa has the entire building standing. So fudging good.

Every time I see his name I remember someone pointing out on Twitter before I left that his name is TAKE CRAP A and I can’t unsee it. I haven’t been on Twitter for about a year, maybe more.

Sting/Darby vs Bucks was so fudging fun. What a great way for Sting to go out.
I'm sorry. If you enjoy pro wrestling, you can't watch Revolution and pretend it was bad. What a great show. I love this crap.
Onto Mania!

I’m sure it’ll pop up online soon if it hasn’t already. I also believe 100000% Sting found a way to turn back the hands of time as he’s done for like 20 years it seems.

Finally saw the Rock promo from Smackdown. Enjoyed it a lot but you can def tell the Rock is rusty on the mic. Couple times he tripped over himself, but recovered. He also isn’t leaning into this heel Rock and you can see the hesitation. Wouldn’t mind him becoming a corporate replacement for Vince, especially as he is on the board.
He has got to lay off the roids. He was as red as a tomato by the end of that promo and pouring sweat.

Also Darby Allin is a fudging mad man.

I saw the entrance with the movie theatre video and then the post match interview thing. No matter what I ever say about Tony Khan or AEW or storylines or whatever, he did 100% right by Sting. That send off was more than well deserved and Tony did it right. Gotta give them props for that.

Paul Heyman To Be Inducted Into Hall of Fame Class of 2024
I've been saying since last year when it was announced WrestleMania 40 would be in Philly that they needed someone to represent ECW in the 2024 Hall of Fame. Who better? It needs to be Tommy Dreamer inducting him, but if they can't get him I'd also settle for The Dudley Boyz or RVD.

Michael Cole acknowledged Sting's retirement just now on Raw, congratulating him on his career. Pat Mcafee even said "absolutely epic match last night," referring to the retirement match.
Ya love to see it.

For future reference, Nia Jax is the unstoppable force.....unless Becky Lynch attempts a drop kick from the top rope and misses...then she stumbles back stunned and out of the ring.
Other random thoughts....
Bull Nakano....meh. My feeling is there are many far more deserving retired WWE wrestlers who did far more than Bull's forgettable run in the early 90's. She didn't even have her own ice cream bar like Bam Bam Bigelow, Demolition, or Koko B. Ware.
I also really enjoyed Revolution. I'd give the show an over-all 4/5. Women's match felt rushed for all the promotion and build up they had for it.....so now Deonna can disappear into the netherworld with everyone else to make room for Mercedes next week. I also found the 8 man scramble a bit meh and comical seeing guys just standing around outside waiting to be queued back into the ring. Everything else was awesome.
Darby Allen is a bit nuts with his spots. Hopefully he accomplishes a lot in the next few years. His style absolutely does not lend to longevity. It's more likely to cripple him young. Personally, I'd prefer to see him stick around for awhile and become the star he could be. I'll take it over seeing him in a wheelchair all gibbled.
Will Ospreay is by far the most exciting wrestler on the planet today. Nobody can touch the quality of his matches and how he can make anyone look top tier.....I worry if he can adjust to working like that every week, though. AEW isn't Japan or the indies where he can show up once every couple months and go away and rest.
It's good to see AEW using the Bucks as the evil EVP's and buttoning up a lot of loose ends of things that didn't make any sense.
I watched the 'Trilogy' video on youtube on the Briscoes and FTR. I never saw much of the Briscoes other than a match in AEW last year and don't get ROH here so I really wasn't terribly familiar with them. Their stuff was really really very good. Jay was an absolute artist during that feud. Mark is good but he seems to excel being in a solid tag team with someone to offset his wackiness.
Why does it feel like FTR has disappeared from any sort of title picture since Punk left last year? I'm not even sure who the ROH and AEW tag champs are anymore. They don't seem like important titles anymore. All I hear about is the trios thing that nobody cares about.
It was nice of Cole to mention Sting's retirement.....but it felt like he shut down McAfee when he started saying the match was epic.
I'm sensing a double turn at Wrestlemania with Rock turning on Roman and Rollins screwing Cody. Rollins will be upset after losing his belt to McIntyre the previous night.
Please don't let Sami Zayn win the gauntlet next week. Ugh.
The landscape in AEW has changed quite a bit this year with the huge signings. Absolute game changers. Really need MJF and Omega back, though. It'll be weird when they do the Forbidden Door PPV and there's nobody left to come through it, though.

Whoa whoa whoa, I'mma let you finish but I gotta stop you right here.
I don't see how Bull Nakano's run in WWF was forgettable, it's how a lot of people watching in that era even know who she is. But even still, she's not getting into the HoF just from her brief WWF run. She accomplished far more outside of WWF and that's what is getting her in the HoF. Sorry, but I disagree as she's every bit as deserving of her induction as Liger and Muta were, and they managed to get in without ever wrestling in WWF/WWE (minus Liger's one single match at NXT nearly a decade ago).
I won't disagree that there are lots of deserving people who still need to be inducted, but that's not Bull Nakano's fault. And a lot of the people who still need to be inducted are also ones who accomplished more outside of WWE than in it. Like, how is Lex Luger still not in it? I never liked the guy, but taking into account what he achieved outside of WWF you can't deny he deserves it. Ultimo Dragon is another one who deserves it, but it sure ain't based on his WWE run. Even Sting got in and we know how his WWE run went.

Bull Nakano is deserving of the HoF. Absolutely. Lex Luger and Ultimo Dragon too. How the fudge is SID not in the Hall? There’s so many people that aren’t in that can be, but also very few headline names since WWE blew through them with top heavy classes in past years.

Questions. AEW related.
If Eddie Kingston defends the RoH Championship and loses it, does the Continental Crown still exist? Are all 3 belts the crown, and the Continental title its own thing? If New Japan ends their relationship with AEW, does the Strong belt go with it or is there a WWF Light Heavyweight belt situation where it’s still there but no one mentions it? Also is there going to be an RoH title match at Supercard of Honor?
Also, like I’ve said before, Darby Allin is an idiot. Dude… I get wanting to go all out for Sting’s retirement but that was excessive. He didn’t need to do anything like that glass flip bump to go all out. I understand the big moment leads to being motivated but Jesus fudge that was a bit much. I hope he has a long and fulfilling career, but with doing stuff like that, he’s going to have a hard time getting around when he’s older. He might have a hard time getting around in a few years the way he’s going.
Again, super happy Sting got his moment and got to retire in his terms and TK absolutely did right by Sting and everything else that entails. Seek and Destroy is always a good song for Sting and I’m glad Sting got to go out how he wanted with the people he wanted in the match.

The Continental Crown is basically a nickname he was given for holding the ROH, NJPW Strong, and AEW Continental Title....kinda like how people refer to Miz, for example, as a former Grand Slam champion.

I'm catching up on NXT Roadblock from Tuesday while I eat dinner. Really solid opening match cage match between Dijak and Joe Gacy, with Dijak hitting a moonsault off the top of the cage actually justifying the "Holy Crap" chants.
I'm happy for Dijak and Corbin since they've returned to NXT and get to show that with actual good booking you now have a reason to give a crap about both of them. You would never have known they're as good as they are or they have this other side of their personality if your only exposure to them was what you saw on the main roster.
It's nice seeing "10 guy" back too, even if I really am only happy to see him because I hope it could open the door in the future that may lead to an eventual return of The IIconics.
Still though, I want Booker T fired. I don't like having to listen to him, and I haven't since when he was originally doing color on SmackDown years ago. He's not good at his job and only goes to prove that just because you're "good on the stick" doesn't mean you are automatically good at doing commentary.
