Bwaha I missed that one. That's pretty funny. As bad as it is, I have been loving all the memes.

Anyways, it seems like he's going to be fine to go to All In and it's going to be swept under the carpet like all controversies involving wrestlers usually are. Unless you're CM Punk, of course, in which case all you need to do is so much as fart and it'll result in 450 variations of the same story being regurgitated every 5 minutes over the course of several days.

I can't help worrying that WWE will totally fuck up LA Knight's push. They always do. He should win the Rumble, but he probably won't because reasons.

Chad Gable vs Gunther may be my favorite feud in WWE right now. Gunther is getting close to breaking the Honky Tonk Man's record for longest reign with the Intercontinental Title, so he's probably not going to lose that belt to anyone before that. However, they have still found ways to make Chad Gable look better than him. First it was Chad wrestling him for longer than five minutes, something Gunther said he couldn't do. Now, Chad beats Gunther in an awesome title match...but via count out. So Gunther keeps his belt, but Chad becomes the first guy to win a match against Gunther in over a year and probably is in line for yet another title match with Gunther. I love this. It's like some Rocky movie with the all American Gable versus the foreign monster. Plus, the feud has elevated Maxine while also keeping Otis and the other members of Imperium on TV. Six people are benefitting from this feud.

I also am enjoying the Seth Rollins feuds. I didn't think much of him vs Shinsuke Nakamura on paper, but they really sold it on Raw tonight with this fucking awesome video:



Nakamura revealing to the public that Seth's back has been fucked up for a very long time and that Seth has been keeping it a secret and enduring the pain was brilliant. I expect their match will revolve around Nakamura targeting Seth's back for the whole match. Nakamura looked like a psycho in this video. This is great stuff. Seth's feuds with Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura have made these guys look like villains from a movie.

There's some crazy stuff you can find in Japanese wrestling :D

Some companies over there are willing to do all kinds of crazy stuff in the name of comedy.

I rewatched that match just earlier this year.

This sucks. Bray Wyatt was so young. He had phenomenal characters and was amazing on the mic. He was something special.

RIP Windham Rotunda.
