2 things.

  1. Is that Ken Kennedy on the mic for aces and eights? Why does he look so weird? Did he lose weight? Is it the beard?

  2. BAHAHAHAHA that fucking editing

Adam Cole WWE Update

For those asking about the status of Adam Cole and WWE, PWInsider.com has independently confirmed the story first reported overnight by WrestlingInc.com, that Cole’s current deal with WWE is set to expire this summer.

That realization took a number of WWE execs by surprise as the belief was Cole was locked in through January 2022. Multiple sources within WWE confirmed the story, admitting frustration that it had become public.

Total clown show in Connecticut.

Certainly, he will be remembered for teaming with Dennis Condrey and Stan Lane. He also had an excellent team with Arn Anderson as part of the Dangerous Alliance.

Speaking of Paul E.

Eaton ended up marrying Donna Dundee and she passed away a bit over a month ago.

Hey alright, one of them made it past 60!

This fucking industry, man

Apparently, AEW edited this off their Youtube channel.

I’m all for heels saying heelish things. If the Acclaimed can become more polished in the ring, I think once they wring all the value out of the tag team, there’s a money breakup angle in their future where openly gay Anthony Bowens eventually gets fed up with Max Caster as he makes increasingly homophobic raps.

I am too, but didn’t like that.

I’m not sure exactly what the line is, but think that was over it.

That hits hard. Probably the GOAT tag team wrestler and nicest guy in the business, no one had a bad word about Beautiful Bobby that I ever heard.

What in the hell is going on at this company…?

Jesus it’s becoming a biweekly event now.

Indefensible to do it during the middle of Smackdown.

Isn’t that like half the NXT roster? Sure seems like a weird way to get Adam Cole to resign.

LOL 2 of the last 4 North American champions.

something like that yeah, goldberg ain’t cheap

they’re either gonna sell wwe and make it look better by either killing off NXT or cost cut it with just pure developmental green guys (or move 205 live into it or cut 205 live or both, seems like there’s no way 205 is surviving for too much longer anyway)

AEW turning into the show for all the guys WWE don’t want isn’t what the core AEW fans want so this is an interesting spot for that company. They gotta figure out what their identity is.

RIP NXT.

What the hell does “the Curtis Axel era of NXT” even mean?

Who knows but I guarantee HHH isn’t happy.

WWE: No more midgets

Also WWE to Cole: Please don’t leave us midget.
