Kross has the 2nd most popular shirt on WWE Shop right now. The push coming?

Would not hurt to have him win MITB let him carry it around for a few months do a few times were he fakes out like he's going to cash in. Then at SummerSlam Jey beats X in a hard fought match and Kross cashes in after the match.

We really fantasy booking Kross to be a world champ? When's the last time he won a match, or even wrestled on a consistent basis?

Jaypers · 05-16-2025, 01:18 PM

The modern day Zack Ryder.

So did Nikki Bella agree to let her ex-husband have primary custody of her child and pay him child support just so he would agree not to go after her businesses?

TMZ reports details of Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev's finalized divorce settlement. According to the documents, Nikki Bella is to pay Artem Chigvintsev $3,500 per month in child support for their son Matteo, and a total of $200,000 in lump-sum payments. Bella will also cover Matteo's speech therapist costs, with extracurricular activities being split. She retains her business trusts, including Stephanie Nicole Garcia Entertainment and Bonita Bonita. The couple will alternate major holidays regarding custody of Matteo.

Jeff Cobb has been renamed "J.C. Mateo".

I hate it.

Sounds like he belongs in a boy band, but not like Jeff Cobb is a real special name.

Why do the announcers always have to talk about their new reenforced announce table. Seems we have to hear about it every week on TV and every PLE.

CardCollector19 · 05-16-2025, 09:41 PM

The LA Knight V JC whatever match was boring as all hell.
Whole arena lost all energy during that match

Can’t stand they sacrificed LA to such a boring guy

CardCollector19 · 05-16-2025, 10:04 PM

How the WWE gonna advertise Cody Rhodes return
Sell a Greensboro Cody Rhodes shirt at the arena
And then not have him come out

SteigerWRX · 05-17-2025, 02:14 AM

Nia seemed stiff most of the match with Stratton, felt like the Stratton chair kick was a bit of a receipt lol

PS: Nia built tough

Think they have those for every live show now because they had a "Louisville Nightmare" shirt on sale for him at Raw. Obviously never expected him to be there.

TMZ reporting Hulk Hogan is trying to buy the Hooters Brand to go under his Real American Brands company.

Hooters is a dying brand that's already been through bankruptcy. It's peak was the late 80's / early 90's pre-internet when sex wasn't so readily available online. It was a place guys got together to live out their fantasies then go home to their normal lives with the wife and kids. Now you get all that sitting in your recliner online. So it's fitting Hogan would want to buy them.

Interesting bit of news...

Queen of the Ring...which is a biopic of barrier breaking female wrestler Mildred Burke...is claiming that WWE reached out to have them sponsor events, agreed to a financial contract, and then suddenly backed out last second...as well as tried to "block" them from running TV ads during RAW

I get it the film had Toni Storm, Kamille, and Naomi when she was with TNA...but Burke was a "charter member" of the WWE HOF "Legacy Wing" in 2016...weird

JustinVerlander07 · 05-18-2025, 08:55 PM

Finishing Smackdown now, biggest takeaway from a meh episode was that the crowd was pretty quiet for Phoenix. They gotta keep him away from Penta. I'm not sure what he did in AEW or other places, but he's not connecting so far despite being presented quite well.

Jaypers · 05-19-2025, 06:15 PM

Roxanne is officially on the Raw roster fulltime.

JustinVerlander07 · 05-19-2025, 07:15 PM

Gunther has been doing some great promo work since losing the title. Really looking forward to his rematch with Jey.

Nope. Just pointing out the extremely poor writing to be pushing the Gunther/Jey rematch on Raw when there's a title defense at a PLE before then.

What's the point of Jey/Logan when you've already made it very obvious that Jey is going to be defending the title shortly after?

They very clearly have written tonight to where it could be either or. It's just obvious as an adult who has watched Wrestling for 25 years that Jey isn't losing on SNME to a part timer in Paul after he just won the title at Mania.

Nah, the very first promo where it was Jey and Gunther in the ring and Gunther announced he was getting a title shot on Raw made it pretty obvious that it was going to be against Jey. You don't need to be an adult or someone who has watched for 25 years to know that when you put two guys in the ring to cut a promo and the third guy is no where to be found to know who the challenger is facing.

I'm sure 8 year old Ben totally believed right away Jey is winning and Logan Paul has no shot, you're right.
