That scoundrel Ultimo Guerrero is at it again! You may know him from this meme:
17 years on, we have a sequel:

(He lost his mask in the main event of the 81st Anniversary show in 2014.)
“They Did The Thing” trending for the Ospreay/Ricochet match… IYK,YK and the crowd was popping halfway through it.
what, that cool little dance routine?

Anyone seen the Mr. McMahon doco on Netflix?
It could have gone a lot further/harder in some areas. There was some context missing around the narrative of Vince’s assault of the female referee which makes it even more heinous.
It was interesting, but ultimately it was for people who are completely new to wrestling. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I felt the doco was trying to separate Vince from the WWE, given that Netflix is going to start airing Raw soon.
It was largely a WWF/WWE story, with only a few moments stepping off the well-beaten track.

Are we jettisoning the current story, and (perhaps) finishing the old one?
Because they made the Current Tribal Chief and his mates look like right jabronis at the end. To be fair, it was more teases than defined story development.
Felt like it was two different docos… they made one that was the WWF/WWE history with Vince the flawed genius… then the allegations hit and they added in the more negative parts… I guess they didn’t have much choice given he refuses to finish the interviews.

Yep.
Most of it has been documented through the WWE made docos.
It only touched briefly on some of the dodgy sh*t that Vince and his execs got up to.
I imagine there is still a code of silence amongst many people within the industry…… so I’m not sure how many hard hitting interviews many people are willing to give.
It was an ok doco. Told us plenty of stuff we already knew:
Bruce Pritchard being the biggest yes man stooge for Vince
Hogan being a lying dirtbag
Vince McMahon never giving even the slightest bit of credit to anyone else for
his successes
Steph being the favourite child
Shane being the most likeable McMahon by far
Vince refusing to indulge really anything of substance about his upbringing
Vince being a massive pervert, along with a lot of other things
Couple of things I didn’t know that I found interesting
Always wondered why Shane just left the company all of a sudden. Him being against Steph dating HHH was fascinating
Steve Austin being a moron who doesn’t believe in CTE
Tony Atlas being the most honest in the whole thing
I loved hearing Bret talk about his punch to Vince, and Taker also talking about it
How much plastic surgery has Linda had? Her face looks almost completely different
You could tell the majority who still scared of ruining a potential payday by ripping into vince. If the interviews were conducted now- i wonder what their answers would be

The lowlight and the highlight respectively.
SCSA saying he “doesn’t believe in CTE” was downright moronic.
Tony Atlas was fantastic. Would love to see the footage they left out, he was very open and had no qualms about talking on some of the shadier things which occurred.

Caveman Ugg has had his first NJPW sojourn, with seven matches climaxing in a tag team title match yesterday.
Allowed to get way over by beating the crap out of tag champs TMDK, before ultimately taking the pin.
Don’t worry, he’s back in Thornbury this Saturday.
Elsewhere… and NEEEEEEEW IWGP Champ, Zach Sabre Junior.
And he may still proudly be a dîckhead, but he is OVER. Long promos versus three post-match challengers, 95% in Japanese, and a huge wander through a rabid orange-displaying crowd after that.
TMDK has taken over the world: “We’re got a brand new New Japan, and it’s farking Orange”.

Sapporo was the “Australian Recovery Beverage” at the press conference.
Motor City Machine Guns (under that name) debut on Smackdown to zero pop.
■■■■■■■ savages.
Huge amount of air on an early Sabin kick… eek.
Crowd doesn’t know THAT four-move sequence they do.
They win, and are one further win from a tag shot, though.
Last time I saw MCMG was in TNA in the mid 2000’s haha
They were doing little snippets teasing them for weeks and absolutely nothin’.
