Snitsky's back acne

I remain optimistic but sceptical. 

APPG affiliate Rhia O Reilly liked and endorsed videos featuring Sid Scala not too long ago, essentially saying she believed him and discrediting Mariah May, which didn't go down in certain circles and raised concerns about conflicts of interest and personal vendettas etc which the APPG was meant to stop.

I guess we shall see.

Once or twice on Dynamite, and on Dark and Rampage, and plenty of times on ROH. 

He's Rush's brother, and a classic bit of confusing Lucha Libre naming - he used to wrestle as Dragon Lee, but then the current Dragon Lee, who's also his brother, got that name, so he became Mistico, but he's not either of the other two guys who used to be called Mistico. 

Yeah, Dralistico was Mistico after Mistico went to WWE to become Sin Cara, where he worked against Sin Cara, who used to be Mistico before Dralistico became Mistico. 
As BomberPat said, Dralistico was Dragon Lee before he became Mistico whereupon Dragon Lee became Dragon Lee. Dralistico became Mistico but now the Mistico who was Mistico before Dralistico became Mistico is Mistico. 

Got it?

A young HHH wrestling at a carnival (and, according to the screenshot, stripping off....)
 

As a follow up, I am currently watching Francine's review of the show and it is very emotional and insightful as she was there for most of the worst times.

I you have a spare 45 minutes I would recommend giving it a watch.

Fucking hell, the state of all this..

 

I'm being an idiot but what's the context here?

Very sad news.

One of the last old school British wrestling promoters who ran hundreds of live events every year and provided work for almost anybody who is/was a name in Europe, as well as notable worldwide names like Jushin Liger and Bryan Danielson.

RIP.

He tried the Spacey method. Wonder how many other things he's done, And if the lad he had an affair with, will start speaking out. 

You'd have to think Schofield knows the guy is going to start talking (apparently there's an NDA which is due to expire soon) and, like he did when he came out, got there first.
He has said he is stepping back from public life.

It seems like the shit if well and truly about to hit the fan.

Benoit is one of the guys I think less of in terms of in-ring as time goes on. Just like Dynamite Kid (and to a lesser extent, Rollerball Rocco)

Wash your mouth out!

As Sandra Toffoloni has pointed out, Nancy so often gets forgotten in the whole narrative and it's a shame her career will never be publicly celebrated on a national scale because of what happened to her. 

She has also pointed out that while many wrestlers openly, and proudly, state they have donated to CTE research nobody has apparently donated to domestic violence charities, in essence acknowledging Benoit's plight over Nancy's.

It's absolutely the most infamous incident ever to happen in pro wrestling (and that covers a lot of ground). 16 years ago? Wow.

No but I've seen Punk's post about Alvarez.

Tony Khan had a good time...

Great O-Khan is living his best life...

He was my first thought yes.

I love me some Bret but dammit man it's not 'the WWE'....and while we're on the subject it was never 'the WCW' either.

People calling it 'The WWE' still irks me.

It was 'the' WWF.

It's WWE.

Is it true that Chris and Tammy met through the wrestling observer newsletter ? 

Not according to Tammy or Chris' brother.

Really? He lives in Chicago. Why would he fly there? 

To get home?

Wow that's crazy. Joey Janela apparently got a second degree burn on his arm from working an exploding death match with Onita recently too.

Within those rumours there's speculation that the rumoured Saturday show would be a way to split the roster so that people wouldn't have to be around each other. Well and truly fucked if that's the case.

I didn't realise Tony Khan was running a kindergarten. 
 

Vickie has released another statement, through her lawyer, saying that she and her husband vehemently dent the allegations and are taking Sherilynn to court.

Problem with that is, Vickie's other daughter Shaul has made a statement saying that Sherilynn WAS sexually assaulted. 

I fear this is only going to get worse.

Are they running Wembley because they think they can sell out the likely 75-80,000 seats that would likely be available?  Probably not.  However, if you want to run a stadium in the UK in football season, you're looking at Wembley, Twickenham, Cardiff, Hampden Park and Murrayfield.  Realistically, it's Wembley or Cardiff.

Hey, what about Hull?

Madusa did. She obviously heard about his legendary stamina and only just getting warmed up after 45 minutes.

Sensational Sherri, to Madusa/Alundra Blayze, on ECW TV in 1993: 'I see Greg Valentine there, who you're so proud of. I've fucked him. He's pretty good'.

I guess we now know the real reason he was called 'The Hammer'.

Fair play to Tony though, god loves a trier. I just hope this doesn't end up getting "Wrestlemania Sevened" 

No way he would do that after all his bluster about WWE having to downgrade from a stadium to an arena last year.

Even if he only sells 20,000 he'll tarp off the rest of the Stadium and get Meltzer to claim it was a sell out 'of all the tickets that were available'. 

I'm not sure on this one  Other than Punk, who would/could be there that you couldn't see at your local indie for much less at some point? Sting? Is he enough of a draw at this point? 

AEW will be relying on the 'Yeah let's stick it to WWE!!' crowd but is there really enough of them to fill Wembley, particularly after the year AEW has had?

They didn't fill Arthur Ashe last year and, let's not forget, Money in the Bank is also in London not too long before then is it not?

Tony's clearly been snorting the good stuff lately and you have to admire his balls (in a metaphorical sense) but I'm not sure how well this will go.

I hope he proves me wrong.

Poor Shane's out there making one last ditch effort for Daddys approval and he falls on his arse and blows out a quad. I can imagine Vince combing his moustache as Shane is helped to the back, not even making eye contact.

'I blew out BOTH my quads, pal'.
