Did anybody say Rey was at fault? No, they did not.
What's being criticized is the WWE using Rey's involvement in a tragic accident to sell Network subscriptions.

And deviating from a schedule to ensure that people don't mistake you for exploiting a tragedy for your own financial gain would NOT be stupid. It IS tone deaf.
Just substitute one of the 100 or so guys that are currently under contract and on your roster. It's not hard.

They've been making posts about Rey on the Network since yesterday into last night. Jesus, fuck. It's a really bad mistake, it's not some sinister carny plot.

I've come to the conclusion after a decade or so that Cesaro is allergic to good haircuts

I have a question.

Does Bray and Undertaker have a secret rundown at the NXT facility or at Mania to work on some spots, are they just expected to improvise, or do they just trust in them to hit a few main spots and they cover that on a phone call?

I believe Brock flew out to Texas to work with UT (Or did Taker fly up to Brock farm) something along those lines.
I believe it is something along the same lines.

Devil Masami's theme is oh so smooth, babyboy.

but not as smooth as Dump's taste maker hair for this match.

 

[Alucard]

Watching this week's TNA Impact. Cool spot in the opening ultimate X match.

 

[JPeeples83]

Oh God - he looks like an indy version of Aiden English.

WWE does A TON of scummy shit - like twisting Warrior's words around to suit the Warrior Award, using Warrior's last promo AND HIS DEATH to sell Network subs, but they're not doing anything to exploit Perro's death. They had something on the schedule, let people know about it, and that's it. Now if they'd tweeted out "watch Rey slay the competition!" or some shit, then yeah - but they didn't.

DJZ always takes that bump.

Hijo del Perro Aguayo cause of death according to Mediotempo.com



So somewhere during the match he got whiplash that caused spinal damage that led to him having a stroke.

I said it before, it looked like he came up slow from his roll move thing and was not ready for the head scissors which I believe started the chain of events, and then that dropkick hit him like a car wreck.
Whether it was from Rey's delivery, or from him already being out on his feet and not doing his part he took it full.
He was already done when he hit the ropes.

Great article.

Cheesiest taunt in wrestling?

Is there anything worse? Maybe Roman's cocking of the fist?

Better much better

Hey mother fucker, Taka wants his hair back

He's howling like a wolf.

Yeah, it's not great. Eddie's was even worse on this show. They seem to change every time they go out.

 

[somedevil]

That tattoo....dear god.

Not a tattoo. Its more of a sticker they put on for there matches.

Plus you missed the best part of impact Koya trying to fold a plastic chair and then paying for his stupid mistake.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

nice roman reigns pants matt

 

[HarryDemeanor]

They want people to admire their hard work.

Low Ki in a toque is kind of funny in a "I'm an angry teenager who wants to be part of a gang" sort of way.

 

[DMczaf]

Seeing BDC never fails to make me laugh

 

[RP912]

I can't take Low Ki seriously with that silly cartoon voice.

I can't take Low Ki seriously with that silly cartoon voice.

There's still time for him to get into the voice acting game. He should totally get on that.

 

[Paracelsus]

If he doesn't want to go to the WWE as a wrestler I'd hire Lethal after retirement just as announcer with his Ric Flair voice. That stunt was too underrated.

SPUD. Great moment.

I thought he was trying to do that? I know he did the VO for Suicide on Impact, which I always thought was hilarious

Damn, Magnus. Dat powerbomb.

Dump vs Masami was pretty great. Dump beats Masami with a microphone then cuts a promo then beats her more with the same microphone.

The Knockouts 3-way was quite good.

Solid women's wrestling.

Miss garbage wrestling? TNA has got you covered.

I don't really watch TNA, but that one dude Bram is awesome.

Taking a tacks spot on a regular TV match. Not a fan.

So at JAPW tonight, they did a 10 bell salute for Perro Aguayo Jr, which was promptly interrupted by Chris Dickinson.

To credit my buddy Will; there are Eskimos less desperate for heat than Chris Dickinson.

 

[Cheetos is Pretty Awesome]

Sick, we get Finn Balor vs Tyler Breeze on this house show I'm watching. Didn't know they let the NXT guys tour with the main roster.

 

[Serpentine]

i think so?

Vince wanted to name Wrestlemania "Colossal Tussle" before they decided on the Wrestlemania name. Vince is not good with names.
