Muta vs. Nakamura on New Years.

I can't remember WWE letting an active wrestler work a non-WWE show (other than that mess with Taz and Awesome in ECW) since the tribute shows they had for Pillman and Brian Hildebrand.

 

Is Nakamura gonna work in Japan before Bryan? That being the whole reason he left…. Irony

 

Damn. Part of the reason why Carmella has been missing from TV.

 

She's a great figure in the ring, but this whole thing with Rhea is getting pretty tiring. First with Edge and Rey, now the OC.

Her comeuppance is well overdue, but who can believably do it? Beth? Charlotte, but she's not a believable face.

 

Gable and Otis as Swayze and Farley from the epic SNL sketch. All it missed was the Farley dance and the butt crack.

 

It’s long-term storytelling. A.J. and the Good Bros. are just the ones in the holding pattern for now. And Rey’s on SD just to cool things off a little.

At some point, likely WM, Rey is going to have enough of his son’s assholery and beat the living heck out of him. Beth will return and beat up Rhea. Edge and A.J. will beat the others.

And then after WM, either they break up, or start challenging the Bloodline.

 

Damn. Truth had some of the most entertaining TV on WWE airwaves last few weeks, and it looks like he legit hurt his knee against Grayson Waller.

 

Wild stories in this week's episode of that Territories series on Stampede. Roundtable included Bret, Abdullah the Butcher, David Schultz and "No Class" Bobby Bass.

 

Jeff Jarrett on AEW? Damn.

And Darby Allin is busted way open.

 

An MVP chant on AEW? Guess he didn't go to Saudi with Omos?

(It was Lamar Jackson.)

 

Colt Cabana back on AEW. CM Punk must be officially done.

 

I find it funny that they're using Elmo for PSAs to encourage kids to the COVID shot. It's a good gesture, but don't think they quite have the demographic right -- the show where even already seen one guy bleeding from the back of the skull, and a bunch of guys talking about scissoring.
