Hey Siri, show me the dumbest sports entertainment story of the day.

WWE in talks with state gambling regulators to legalize betting on scripted match results

 

BCC goes heel. Hangman vs. Claudio for the ROH belt coming?

 

So the fifth time the All Atlantic Championship gets defended outside the U.S., they rename it the International Championship?
I really want Orange Cassidy to bring out the belt with a punch card next week, and they officially rename it when Tony Khan punches the fifth hole.

 

Not saying Kenny has to fight MJF, but if the trios match is sooner can confront him to launch the angle.

And I understand Hobbs is the heel who tries to win in nefarious ways, but that match was great until QT Marshall involved, and Wardlow got incapacitated by being powerbombed into a pillow with cardboard on it.

That looked worse than Jericho being thrown off the cage, because at least that was from a higher distance.

 

I couldn't tell what that was. I'm sure it wasn't anything dangerous, but it didn't exactly break or give much, either.
Also looked like Wardlow didn't fully get his arm up on the chair shot, either, and he might have pulled or torn something in his arm. He was nursing/selling an arm injury for a lot of it, when he didn't really take any noticeable offense on it. Like he might have hurt his bicep.
Bad night all around for the big guy.

 

I noticed once when he lifted his arms, one pit had that yellowish discoloration you'd see sometimes with a muscle injury.

Might've been something where Wardlow got hurt against Joe, and they had to hot-shot it to Hobbs.

 

So am I understanding correctly that Shazam = International Title but not Atlantic, somehow?

 

“So let’s see. We have Omos against Akira Tozawa with an over/under of 1 minute, 32 seconds. Who do you have, Greek?”

“I’ll take Omos, with the under …”

 

Well, that was a way to get to the inevitable triple threat for the IC that everybody was expecting.

 

So, they're inducting Rey into the HOF?

I guess this means they'll be working that godforsaken angle with Dom into the induction ceremony. Then, it looks like they're going to have Dom retire Rey a night or two later.

 

Thought for Jey was gonna say he blames either Roman or Jimmy in that great promo last night…… his story is far from over

 

No word on if Rosie O'Donnell was invited.
