Definitely weaker than average, and the average is not that high lately.

Need more Ziggler & Rollins, Balor in the ring, and less bad feuds.  I should be more into a Reigns-Lashley program than I am bc it is being presented very poorly.  Braun-Owens is wasting both guys, and I have no interest in Balor-Corbin.  That's 3 of the top 4 men's feuds I have little to no interest in right now. All things Alexa are good.  Bayley-Sasha could be also but please end the counseling next week and let them tear into each other at Extreme Rules.  The tag title feud is currently my men's #2 feud in level of interest and part of that is the unspoken brother vs brother aspect that they will likely never acknowledge on TV.

It's just insulting our intelligence unless you have social media you have no idea what the PPV matches are (Seriously why a 3 hr show if you just gonna announce it there), they are putting the nails in the coffin of Sasha and Bailey careers, we don't need childish middle school insults in a balor/Corbin feud and the porter potty was such symbolic ending of what that show was.

WWE isn't gonna do anything unless they are facing legit competition and then they will change. Until that promotion comes around it's just not happening. I think I'll book my Mon and Tuesday nights for free and just watch the podcast I do of the reviews after each show ends and then just watch the PPV's on the network because really you could just miss all the Raws and Smackdowns and not get lost during the PPVs. I think it's about time I sign up for honor club though. I cannot wait till HHH gets the drivers seat for good and then we can have some quality watchable wrestling again. If it's anything like he's done with NXT, the Tournaments and what he could with NXTUK plus 205 Live we got hope. 

 
Also looks like Luke Sanders and Becky Lynch are no more. They were living together in LA but back in early may she deleted all post of him off social media accounts and unfollowed him on IG. She then added him back to IG only to unfollow for good. Sanders moved back to his hometown of Nashville TN recently where he does his MMA training and according to Becky's social accounts she is still living in LA. I call first dibs!!!!!

Sheamus has been thirsty.  That’s my guess.  

 
I've not watched a second of wrestling since Money in the Bank. Probably just should have stopped with Dominion and called it there.

This just got awkward because he just won the RoH World Title last week. Oof.

Plus, she tweeted out a gif of herself and Truth Martini as a happy 4th of July greeting. I made the statement that I missed the House of Truth and she replied to me like this.  I found the response odd and slightly mean-spirited but let it go. Perhaps there was a subtext to it  

(I also realize I’m outing by twitter handle here, but I don’t act like Squizz and it’s not tied to my real life ID.)

 
Jay Lethal responds to Taeler Hendrix' allegation

There was this interesting note in the comments FWIW:

This is going to be a long post but bear with me. Context is important. I'm just going to go ahead, set my opinion of Lethal aside and say this. Hendrix cannot be trusted. She can't be trusted to provide something simple like an interview without going nuts.

I did a little bit of contributing for a few wrestling websites including WrestlingInc and others for a while. One of them was a niche TNA site. A close friend of mine did an audio interview with Hendrix for his podcast. I went ahead and took the time to transcribe the interview, published excerpts and posted them on at least one other wrestling site. There was nothing controversial in any way shape or form in the interview. No double meaning, no innuendo. An interview primarily focused on indy wrestling and her tryout for TNA.

About two days after I published the recap, i received an email from Taeler demanding the interview be pulled. She claimed that she did not say certain things in the interview. When i told her that i simply transcribed the audio interview that she took part in, she threatened to send both her agent and lawyer after me. Anyone could verify that she did indeed make the comments and I simply transcribed her responses. While i told her that I would likely not be pulling any portions of the recap, i did ask her which portions of it bothered her. She insisted that she wanted the entire interview pulled. I responded stating I wouldn't be doing that unless the original podcast was pulled.

The following day, i received a notice from her agent via email; first with pleas to pull the interview. When i responded the same way i did with Taeler, he responded by threatening me with legal action for an interview she openly took part in; An interview that I had nothing to do with and simply transcribed to readable text. After about two days, Taeler and her agent managed to convince the original interviewee to pull the podcast episode and plea to me to remove the recap.

She can't be trusted enough with a simple, completely clean interview with zero drama. I wouldn't trust her word for anything else.

Lesnar is still the biggest star in the UFC, even as WWE Universal Champion.

The way UFC is going, they may seek to make it a title vs title match.

Meanwhile, many if not most WWE fans would celebrate if he left the WWE altogether for the UFC.

Well, as long as he doesn't drop the strap to Reigns.

At the end of the Cody-Omega match, he and his sons attacked Bullet Club and call themselves Firing Squad.

That was a pretty good show in general. Switchblade/Juice kinda stole the show, and was easily the best either has ever looked. Hiromu/Dragon Lee was good, until it was scary. Hiromu might have broken his neck, on a major botch by Lee. This was very much a case of 2 guys doing too much for too long. Hope Hiromu's ok, he's one of the best wrestlers on the planet.

Cody-Omega was better than their Supercard match in April. The post match stuff was pretty good too, though my 1 major issue with the NJPW shows in the US, is they use the awful AXS announce team of JR and Josh Barnett, who are terrible. JR doesn't know who 75% of the roster is, and can't keep up with the action, and Barnett has zero personality, and almost sunk the aforementioned Switchblade/Juice match, by storming the ring, because JR was accidentally injured, because the guard rail wasn't locked into place. The Kelly-Callis announce team is 100X better and would have made the big Bullet Club story at the end so much more interesting/dramatic.

 
G1 Special was pretty awesome. Watched it all on Saturday, went back and watched certain matches again on Sunday. And I get it, new is cool. Less is more. (Regarding the WWE product I'm pretty much watching only PPVs and NXT, and enjoying it). Something about the presentation of NJPW makes everything seem more important. Calling out the time every five minutes, post-match promos, pre show interviews like big boxing/MMA fights. Really good stuff. Wish I had been watching when I would listen to Aubrey on Straight Shoot review all of the shows.

I really feel like this has been a mountain out of a molehill for Hogan. Sure he said something he shouldn't have, but it was on a tape that was made in his home, without his consent, that he won a lawsuit over. 

I don't even like Hogan, but the reaction seemed way out of line. I mean, our President says worse on a seemingly hourly basis.

He's BAAAAAAACCKKKK (in the WWE HoF).

STAMFORD, Conn. — After a three-year suspension, Hulk Hogan has been reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame. This second chance follows Hogan’s numerous public apologies and volunteering to work with young people, where he is helping them learn from his mistake. These efforts led to a recent induction into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Alumni Hall of Fame.

I know a few people who met Taeler. The one podcaster I listen to she blocked him for no reason over something said that had nothing to do with him or his fans. He tried apologizing if he had don't anything wrong and Hendricks basically blocked him on every social media as he tried to reach out to her as a nice guy. She sounds crazy based on people I know who've met her. I hope what she is saying is true for her sake because if it's not it hurts real victims. I hope it's not true because Lethal though I've never personally met him know people who have and said he's literally one of the nicest wrestlers they've met in the business and some of those comments come from people who have been watching for yrs.

I don't see it happening. Lesnar won't be In a UFC match till Jan-Feb do to having to go back into the USADA system. UFC may have kept him from reinstating himself to have the shock moment with DC. I liked WWE Lesnar but at this point you can tell he doesn't care. We need to take the belt off of him and just let him go to UFC. I'll root for his success again there because I think its funny how PO'd the MMA purest got when Brock first won the belt. if it wasn't for his diverticulitis he'd still be dominating the division today IMHO. I'm not the biggest MMA fan. I like it but I think it's funny with the big MMA fans get upset when Lesnar was winning and all. I know we love to pick on the Roman Reigns fans in Wrestling ad the glad handers of WWE fans but I don't think anything is worse then seeing some of these MMA hardcore D-Bags who think they could fight but would get knocked out with one real punch. I was at the Philly show a few yrs ago or maybe longer and one in NJ and the some of those guys were your typical I think I'm the big hotshot at the bar who tries to act like a real ladies man and no girl really wants the dude near them types.
