Merry Christmas to everyone who loves rasslin. Randy Savage T-shirt so far my only sports entertainment related gift

 

Got Tony Schiavone's comic/life story on the way.

 

All kinds of outpouring today on the one-year anniversary of Jon/Brodie/Luke's passing, and deservedly so.

 

Looking for something to watch Thursday night, I went on Peacock and checked out the "24" doc on Big E, which dropped quite a while ago. They had a segment where Big E talked about Huber/Brodie and what he meant to him; it may have been the best part of a good episode.

I remember when Huber passed and the outpouring of sadness/love for the guy and his family. I was touched, but also in the back of my head was thinking that, well, this stuff always comes out right after someone's untimely death, and it will probably taper off.

However, a year later, I'm still hearing/reading about people and their recollections of Huber, almost like it happened last week. To me, that's a testament of how great a person he must have been.

 

When Big E had his championship celebration after cashing in on Lashley, there was a nice touch where he thanked all the people below the clouds and one special person above the clouds. Wonderfully, the crowd wherever they were for that Raw broke into a "Brodie" chant.

 

Just like all the NBA teams adding G-League players and other castoffs, does this mean will see something like Reggie or Tozawa replacing Seth Rollins in the Day 1 main event?

Apparently, they had to rush in Edge, Natalya and Ciampa/Dunne to NYC for a NXT title match to fill out the MSG card.

 

They could do the ever popular battle royal, with the winner taking the fourth spot in the main event.
Or it just defaults to a triple threat and they work it into the storyline moving forward by treating it like any other injury. He can claim he was screwed out of his title shot, etc.

No idea what their plans are for Seth and the gang for the Rumble and Wrestlemania, but if he's not in the title picture then they simply have him face the winner of the Day 1 match for the title at the Rumble PPV. There's enough time before Day 1 that it doesn't have to be a hard fix.

 

If the card for the New Years PPV is in flux does that make it….

Day One ish?

 

Not the viscous liquid!

Guess Beth really wanted to step away from wrestling for a bit when she left NXT. I figured she would've been a given to pop up at some point in this angle.

 

The feud ain't over yet.

 

Little confused about the Styles Omos story…..thought Styles would be the heel but hes getting face pops and obviously Grayson Wallers a heel so….

 

Oh FFS
