Your host, Alex Pawlowski, will tell you why everything sucks. Three matches in two hours, and one of them is a handicap squash. Zayn and Cesaro deserve better. A racist appears via satellite, and the only hope we have for future happiness is resting on whether Vince McMahon decides to push a black superstar.

2020-02-16 05:46:11 +0000 UTC View PostI asked two people in AEW about Jeff Cobb's status, and one avoided the question, while another said they preferred to not answer. When asking around, I had it confirmed that as of Wednesday, Cobb hadn't signed. He's advertised for ROH dates through Mania weekend but has been working without a contract there as well. 2020-02-16 04:45:10 +0000 UTC View Post

2020-02-13 20:54:09 +0000 UTC View PostWe'd mentioned at the end of our longform feature that indie veteran Chris Michaels had been contacted to return to the WWE Performance Center as a coach. We can confirm that Michaels is at the PC this week, and several wrestlers told us that he's been well received. He noted in our interview that he'd like to end up there fu...

- Speaking of Fale, he said he had to consistently push for years to integrate his dojo in with NJPW, and it wasn't easy.

Vince McMahon is still hands-on, but it's definitely at a distance these days.
After word that WWE was potentially shopping PPV content to outside providers dropped on the WWE Q4 2019 call, Fightful was given a tip that McMahon's attendance isn't exactly what it once was.
On the Smackdown side of thin...

If you're wondering why Vince and Paul decided to turn Shayna Baszler into a vampire, you are not alone. Alex Pawlowski has been wracking his brain for 24 hours and he still has no damn clue.
Also, Randy writes off Matt.
Did other things happen on RAW? Did they matter? Let's find out.
Don't expect Bad Luck Fale to hit the brick in New Japan any time soon. When speaking with him moments ago, he told me that he still has two years remaining on a five-year deal with New Japan. This effectively puts him through 2021, and likely past WrestleKingdom in 2022.

2020-02-11 02:01:14 +0000 UTC View PostWWE announced today that Simone Johnson, daughter of the Rock, was training at the WWE PC. It's well known that she'd been there off and on for the last couple of years. Whenever Fightful would ask people at the WWE PC, they said that she was easy to deal with, grounded, and eager to learn and open to instruction.
