Many pro wrestlers are not that smart. For a recent example, Ricochet and Kacy Catanzaro posted an Instagram, then later deleted, of them partying without social distancing or masks.recently.  But some like Val Venis has been going over the slope. Probably some legit brain damages?  |

I love edge as much as the next guy but what does winning the rumble do for him? I feel like a lot of booking is just stalling until crowds come back

I feel like a lot of booking is just stalling until crowds come back He is a big draw for WrestleMania, where there will at least be some crowds in Tampa Bay. And he has been driven to finish his pro wrestling career on his own term. So far, he has done great jobs pushing other younger talents including NXT. |

WWE has released Andrade Cian Almas  I guess the man who is also known as La Sombra, the OG founder of Los Ingobenables, will take his 90 days and either go to ROH, where his old pal Rush is still working there, or NJPW, where Naito and his Japan branch has been doing great. |

The whole Andrade saga in last few days is very interesting.  - Andrade, being frustrated with his situation in WWE, requested his release with WWE. - WWE refused. - Andrade stayed put, with some helps from Charlotte, his irl engaged girlfriend, and even Ric Flair. - Charlotte gave WWE an ultimatum that she would quit if they didn't let Andrade go. - WWE made a deal that they would let Andrade go if Charlotte opted out of this upcoming WrestleMania. Charlotte chose to opted out. Charlotte's picture in the WM poster was removed in response. - WWE eventually let go today, without no-compete clauses. Damn, now he can be La Sombra anywhere right away with this great deal after taking his strong stance, with great supports of course. Good luck for him in the near future.  |

Part 1 of Brian Pillman's two part episode on Dark Side of the Ring. I didn't think much of Pillman up until I listened to the Something to Wrestle With podcast and learned a lot about his multiple affairs, multiple baby mothers, his negotiation tactic to get into the WWF in 1996, his death, his widow, and the condition his children were left in afterwards. Seriously sad stuff and some of it hits home to me. His widow is featured in this in her current state and drugs hit her like a ton of bricks.

Bryan Danielson's contract with WWE has been expired right after he was written off Smackdown Live last Friday.
He seems to be happy and doing great with WWE. I guess he may actively negotiate for a new contract since he also has his own leverage of desire to wrestle in other companies as well.

WWE reportedly signed US Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson. Huge get that could be even better if he is naturally talented as a pro wrestler as Kurt Angle.

WE has released a lot of personnel again, after they released Stan Stanski, a long time senior VP who was seen to be a WWE lifer, after Q3 earning call.
So far, the bigger names are....
- Nia Jax
Huge surprise because her being in the Samoan Connection. But it's kinda welcome surprise.
- Both Karion Kross and Scarlett Bordaeux
Had a decent run together in NXT before Karrion being promoted and immediately buried with a loss while still having the NXT belt and then series of bad gimmicks without Scarlett.
- Both Keith Lee and Mia Yim
Both also had nice runs in NXT only to be completely buried in WWE main roster. Keith got hit by COVID-19 hard and became "Bearcat" Lee recently while Mia Yim was in the ill-fated Retribution then never used after the faction collapsed.
- Gran Metallik and Lince Dorado
The last remnant of Lucha House Party. They worked well as under-carders but never really got pushed for at least the tag belts.
- Ember Moon
She had a good run in NXT, promoted and did quite okay before an injury took her out for a while. She was back and had a decent 2nd run in NXT but didn't go anywhere.
- Eva Marie
She got re-signed after a terrible first run with WWE and still did nothing but being beautiful.
- Oney Lorcan
He was up and down between NXT and WWE but didn't do anything interesting.
- Harry Smith
Got re-signed for unknown roles recently only to be fired again.
- B-FAB
She was recently promoted to Smackdown as a part of Hit Row stable. Quite surprising she got cut outta nowhere too.

He has been featured every week since his AEW debut, both in matches and in promos.
His mic work is as sharp as ever. His promos against Eddie Kingston and MJF are two of best pro wrestling promos in last few years, may even be a whole decade. He made Punk vs Kingston, which only had about two weeks to build for the PPV, into a pseudo-main event just by mostly talking.
His in-ring wrestling though hasn't looked that great. His pro wrestling mind is still very fine considering how he crafted his featured matches, but his body doesn't seem to go along with it. He often looked gassed half way through even though he always finished well.

Jonathan Gresham's new promotion Terminus seems to be the predecessor of ROH. |

Interesting. He won't quit AEW and suddenly show up at WWE Royal Rumble with the TNT belt, will he?
