Dave Schilling has a thead absolutely destroying Bill Simmons, for those into the rasslin podcast game and general media drama

 

Considering Sammy was set up for a big match with Matt Hardy (unless they already taped Dynamite), it'll be interesting to see.

 

My guess: Rollins and Co. will face Rey, Carrillo and Black at Extreme Rules, with Dominick on the outside. Late in the match, with Carrillo and Black neutralized, Dominick hops up to help Rey, only to turn on him for not having faith in him as a man.

From there, we get Rey vs. Dominick in a retirement match at SummerSlam.

We've had countless feuding brothers/cousins. Ever been a fight between father and son?

 

I think there might have been a spot where Randy Orton RKO'd Cowboy Bob, and Cody beat up Dusty. Ric and David Flair might have done something back in the dying days of WCW. Not sure there's been an actual match in recent memory, though.
Looking at this list of father-son combos, I can't really think of many fathers who were still active or even semi-active by the time their sons came of age.

It’s live, and Santana swaps in against whichever version of Matt Hardy shows up.

 

Vince vs. Shane and Vince vs. Stephanie.

Jerry Lawler and Brian Christopher in the USWA. I'm unsure if they played the father-son thing up, or not.

 

On this week’s edition of 2muchcoffeeman Forces Himself to Hatewatch BTE so You Don’t Have To … eh, never mind.

 

Never mind. It just dropped. I’ll get to it after pizza.

 

Watching a bit of the 2008 Royal Rumble on Fox got me going down a rabbit hole, which led to the realization we're at the 13th anniversary of Chris Benoit.

 

Wow, you're right. He died 13 years ago tomorrow.

I was out of town, and I picked up the local paper that Monday and saw a brief on an inside page about their deaths, and that stunned me. Then, of course,the story blew up.

 

Heh, they’re doing the Rumble By the Numbers video. The Warlord had the record of two seconds for shortest entry, which has now been eclipsed by Santino with one second.

 

Hey, they had Michael Buffer doing the announcements. I don’t think Bret Clark was entered that year.
