That match was awesome

 

WWE is not going to stop until it has every Samoan, Tongan, Pacific Islander wrestler there is attached to the Bloodline.

Today it's Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa, Jacob Fatu is in the wings reportedly and then there's Umaga's son learning the ropes.

Whenever Roman comes back with the probably reunited Usos, that's going to be insane.

Wonder if they're ever going to address how Tanga Loa used to be in WWE as a wannabe Mexican?

 

Cole: "JD McDonagh with that Klingon-like head."

DAMN.

And this French crowd is atomic. Love the Yeet/No Yeet chants for Uso and Priest exchanging punches.

 

The new QR code.

Porte Ouverte

Definitely sounds like Alexa Bliss's voice. And that URL translates as "Open Door." Looks like we're getting to a resolution soon.

 

The result was never in doubt, and there were some botches figuring out the legal Kabuki, but some great feats of strength in the women's tag -- especially that finishing move with Jade and Kairi.

 

Ricochet vs. Dragunov, McIntyre vs. Balor and Gunther vs. Sheamus (!) in the first round of the King tournament? Daaaang.

Kofi vs. Rey should be fun, but shouldn't the most recent King (Woods) be in there?

 

He looks like a taller Punk almost.

 

In and of itself, Backlash might be on the bottom of the totem pole for WWE PLEs, but that show was a blast to watch. That crowd was absolutely MENTAL all night.

 

In some ways the 5 match show where every bout gets 20-25 minutes to build breathe and shine is better than Mania when you’re getting 10-15 minutes that feel slighted. (Unless you’re the Rock)

 

WrestleMania 41 main events on 4/20/25? Main event of Riddle vs. RVD?

Sucks for Minneapolis, which was apparently the rumored host, but the money and spotlight speaks MUCH louder in Vegas. That, and I bet the weather at Philly Mania didn't help the cause for Minny Mania, even if the stadium's got a roof.

 

That’s a huge reason I love the NXT Takeover shows so much. All quality, no filler, or so it seems most of the time.

 

Not that I'm expecting him to have an iron man match or call a WrestleMania by this point of age or health, but I figured Jerry would've been one of those lifers under the WWE banner -- kinda like Monsoon was.
