He would have suffered much less injuries if he hadn't removed his car's air bags to implant in his calves.

What a clown.

Mysterio suspended for 60 days for a second violation of the Wellness Policy.

 

I'm not saying this sarcastically: I forgot that Mysterio even existed until you posted this.

 

WWE gets great TV ratings in Mexico -- Raw and Smackdown far surpass AAA and CMLL down there -- but they're not having a lot of luck with translating that to talent lately. Mysterio is getting older, injured and drugs. Del Rio peaked early and is essentially the same worker and talker he was two years ago when he debuted. Sin Cara is a shitshow. Fake Sin Cara/Hunico is a Superstars/NXT guy.

 

Sin Cara is still around?

 

Any other schmuck would've been shitcanned by now, but since he gets the kiddie/Hispanic audience he gets a pass.

 

Allegedly, because he was one of Triple H's first signings, he has a longer leash, despite the injuries and PED suspension. Also, as others have cited, they have so few draws for Mexico that they need someone, and I guess even with how iffy he was, Sin Cara ranks in the top 10 in merchandise sales. (Kids like the mask.)

 

Are the fans giving the NFL commish the SCSA "What?" treatment at the draft?

 

Why yes. Yes they are.

 

Michelle Beadle even mentioned it on Twitter. She and Coachman should do a wrestling podcast for the Ocho, when it gets up and going.

 

And Todd Grisham

 

I only saw a few picks but that was pretty funny. Goodell even waited the appropriate time and then move don. He could be great as another Mr. McMahon management-type heel.
