Why who chose what contracts? WWE contract language isn’t exactly negotiable for the wrestler. Read more

Because that was how Eduardo Gory Guerrero Llanes actually spelled his own name. I was actually surprised that Meltzer had spelled it “Eddie” there since I think of him as more insistent about it than most. Read more

They call everyone Uce in real life, though. Read more

I probably should; the stuff I had seen before didn’t have as much dead to rights proof that it’s him as that thread does. Read more

Estimated medical costs and lost wages came in at $13 million. So...yeah. Read more

Once it became clear that he was getting signed somewhere, I wanted to wait until after Mania weekend. So expect something soon-ish. Read more

TNT doesn't even run regular infomercials, not even overnight. What would AEW buying time from them even look like? Everyone on the AEW side is denying it, and right now I tend to believe them because it doesn't appear to fit the network. Read more

When I was a kid—I think late in elementary school—I read a short book that the school library had about Roberto Clemente, which said that he was the first black MLB player. Read more

Nobody really noticed the scissors thing happening live. I’m glad Jimmy’s OK and hope that nobody ever does that spot again. Read more

Arena Coliseo Guadalajara? Nice. Read more
