Alberto Del Rio fired by the WWE for unprofessional conduct.

Not surprising to say the least. He's had some heat backstage for a while now.

 

No big loss. Lifelong midcarder.

So I finally saw Guardians, and people have rightly praised Batista. Does he get a babyface pop when he returns?

 

They didn't even wish him well in his future endeavors. He must've really pissed somebody off.
And, no big loss. He was the worst kind of tweener -- not over or exciting enough to be a permanent fixture atop the card, but just a little too good and credible to slum it as a U.S. or Intercontinental champion. Even when they tried to push him, he was boring as hell.

 

I wonder what the employee altercation was? Where's Meltzer when we need him?

 

To report false information?

 

Apparently, he slapped someone in the Social Media department.

 

Wish someone would've gotten a Tout of that.

 

Thank god they stopped touting that.

 

Orndorff comes out to his Pretty Wonderful music. Awesome.

 

He looked like Snidely Whiplash.
It was fun seeing Hall do the nWo survey, though, especially since he didn't slur his words and pass out in the middle of it.

 

Just finished The Squared Circle, the Masked Man's book. Terrific stuff.

 

Pretty cool ending. Like the WWE is making fun of itself with the $9.99 bit.

Also, I loved that the WWE finally did something with the Network after Raw went off the air. Sure, it wasn't much but it was still fun to watch and apparently a clump of confetti hit the announcers as well and it made for a comical moment.

Missed most of RAW again though.
