Take that, Charlotte and Andrade. Now, THAT'S a WWE power couple.

 

What the Saudis want, the Saudis get.

 

Lucha Libre star Silver King had a heart attack and died in the ring during a show in London, during a match with Juventud Guerrera.
There's video of the match on the link. Looks like nobody realized what was happening, because they sure weren't rushing in with the paramedics.

Wrestler Silver King Dead at 51, Dies in Ring After Suffering Heart Attack

 

If you had to compare Corbin to someone from the attitude era, who would you compare him to?

 

Test. Audience just doesn't respond, despite repeated efforts by the office to make him happen, like fetch. (The 00s equivalent before he came back to the company would be Drew McIntyre.)

 

Test getting murdered by HHH around the Stephanie wedding angle because they realized he sucked has a lot of parallels with Cena burying Corbin at that Summerslam after he won MITB.

Except 2 years later Corbin’s still hanging around..... like really this asshat beats Richochet clean? Good grief.

 

Agreed. Plus, I can’t stand how he’s still wearing the constable outfit.

I thought he was more interesting with his previous persona.

 

I saw that, but that’s also on the referee who should be seeing that Silver King was down and stopped the match.

The last where Juventude is trying to roll him over and pin him is ridiculous.

It’s also on the promoter who didn’t have trained medical staff nearby.

 

I watched the Bret Hart-Tom Magee documentary and match. A lot of fun stuff, including Harry Smith (Davey Boy’s son) doing an impeccable impression of Bret, plus interviews with Bret and Magee.

Match itself is interesting to see, and we get the added bonus of Gorilla and Heenan on commentary. They don’t disappoint.

 

Hopefully this is the end of his push:

WWE News: Lars Sullivan's racist, homophobic, sexist, and other offensive posts surface on Reddit, Sullivan issues apology through WWE -

"...and I apologize to anyone I offended."

Narrator: He's not sorry.

Update: WWE News: WWE issues statement on Lars Sullivan's offensive message board posts, details on his $100,000 fine and sensitivity training -

 

When did they sign this idiot? I find it somewhat ridiculous to cull $100k from a guy, asshole that he may be, for comments made 6-12 years ago. If he wasnt working for them....thats just absurd
