Those lazy bastards are rerunning the entire ****ing rumble from January.

Anything to keep the streak of the longest weekly episodic show in television, right Vince?

This is embarrassing

Undertaker's segment on RAW was unintentionally hilarious. Was following Squared Circle as it happened, and everyone was so confused.

Thats the quickest I've ever seen him get to the ring.

This was indeed hilarious. SO awkward.

The girdle/cummerbund is ridiculous.

Why does he come out as undead taker but dressed like American badass taker?

so they're finally gonna pilot the two night thing on the dead year? I guess if there's one year where you can test the all-weekend Mania, this would be it. If it doesn't work, you throw it away in the same way that they threw away the multi-city Mania.
Honestly I'm surprised they haven't attempted another one of those again. It's been 30+ years, but I guess that means twice the expense since you're now paying for two stadiums, two setups, and the very real possibility of not selling out both stadiums or even one stadium.

I hope he's joking with "gonna be too big for one night." He's gonna be gronk'ing to an empty performance center.

AEW put on a pretty entertaining show last night, and I'm somehow who just can't sit and watch a whole wrestling show any longer unless its a WM or Rumble. I turned NXT on a bunch of times and they ran a Chiampa/Gargano video package for at least the first hour. I stopped switching over after that. It kind of looked like an ROH taping (with about 6 less people in the crowd) either way it looked alot less dumb than RAW or Smackdown. They had wrestlers in the front rows talkin shtt, MJF was throwing money around betting on the matches. It would prob behoove WWE to redo their hard cam to the runway and darken the seating areas. You'd think they'd have plenty of practice hiding empty seats from television.

rewatching the 2008 Rumble. I think I might have found the origin of the sign point.

I've had the early Wrestlemanias on loop today. I'm on WM V right now. Two things I noticed:

A) Gorilla and Jesse obviously were so great. The conversation between the two felt natural. It wasn't flooded with nicknames, catchphrases, and they mostly kept to the match in front of them.

B) It was efficient. They didn't have 10 minute long video packages between matches. It went match, very brief interview segments (clip that ran with Elizabeth couldn't have been more than a minute long), and rolled right into the next match.

Vice posted the 1st hour of Dark Side of the Ring on Chris Benoit. Full episode is set to air Tuesday.

The WWE Network is free right now with a limited selection, but there is still a lot of content available. I haven't had the network in about 2 years, and all I had to so was sign in with my old account.

Vice really does a good job with these and this one isn't any different. They did include a lot of stuff about Eddie Guerrero in there too. At first, I kinda wondered why they didn't give Eddie his own story, but you really can't tell part of Benoit's story without the latter part of Eddie's life.

Was hoping that the full episode would have been released today while I'm working from home, but I guess it will give me something to watch later on since we don't have any sports that aren't pre-recorded.

This is one of the best, most hilarious vignettes of all time. ALL TIME.

I waited for this to air to start watching it... It's rough. I just stopped after Eddie's death.

I just started the 2nd hour...it's a rough watch.

On Vice's channel, they had an aftershow with some host, Chavo, and Tommy Dreamer. They showed some deleted scenes, and one of them had Benoit's son and Chavo talking about how people still troll them. F those people.

From the WWE rumor mill.

According to The Dirty Sheets, Bobby Lashley, Corey Graves and Carmella are confirmed to be the WWE stars to be diagnosed with the coronavirus, while Rey Mysterio, Dana Brooke, Murphy, The Miz, Kairi Sane, Roman Reigns and many others are in self isolation.

While Carmella is said to be suffering the worst from COVID-19, Lashley reportedly beat the virus and returned to work last week’s WrestleMania 36 tapings, where he had a match against Aleister Black.

Dirty Sheets’ source had the following to say about this situation:

“It’s bizarre that they are being banned on their own social media platforms and are instructed to bat away questions from the media.

Somehow wrestling finds ways to get dirtier and more gross.
