Not sure how news worthy this is but Scott Hall appears to have been banned from Twitter after a spat with Session Moth Martina.

Becky Lynch, wow. That's another blow for WWE. Also sad to see her walk out the doors with a big goodbye moment in an empty arena. Her pop when she inevitably comes back is going to be massive though.

Thought this one was disappointing. Famous wrestler did drugs and died is a pretty generic story int he grand scale of things.

Next week's one is going to be a hard watch :(

Yeah, a bit underwhelming. The HErb Abrams episode was tremendous :lol:

I weirdly can't wait for the Owen one. Especially with input from Martha and Oje.

HUGE photo below of them both and Oje is Owen's double.

It was their go-to track for Armageddon, so there’s a chance they hadn’t used it for over a decade.

I miss those PPV video packages before matches, particularly the music. I also liked the bloke they had doing the voice-over for PPVs (they stopped using him after WrestleMania 15).

I have a feeling Scarlett is going to be the next Sable or Lana, as in she’ll outshine Kross, at least to Vince and the higher ups.

Sad news about Shad Gaspard (Cryme Tyme in WWE). Looks like he drowned in a rip current on Sunday after telling rescuers to save his 10 year old son first. They haven’t found his body yet, but it’s looking unlikely.

Body's now been found apparently. Such a tragic story.

I was fortunate enough to have interviewed Shad in 2008 just after he was rehired by WWE and he was just the *nicest* guy, who was so made up to be there. Even after meeting most of the roster, that conversation with him has always remained one of my favourites because it was so genuine. He was the most humble person there - this is just awful news.

That’s great to hear. Coincidentally I was watching a random Smackdown! the other week and it was the one where Shad turned on JTG, he was a big intimidating angry heel and played it well, pity WWE didn’t try to refine him a bit and give him a bit of a push.

That's a real shame. 39 is no age to die, especially with a young kid as well.

AEW Double Or Nothing is priced a bit steep at £19.99, isn’t it?

Not a show I’ll be ordering. I’m currently suffering from no-crowd fatigue.
