The Dynamite Kid has passed away on his 60th birthday

https://cultaholic.com/news/the-dyna...60th-birthday/

[Leo656]

That rumble you feel is a million people who knew him, all dancing a jig.

All we have is our legacy, people. Be Good while you have the chance.

[ZariusTwo]

Larry "The Ax" Henning gone too

[Coola Yagami]

So... is noone watching TLC?

[Leo656]

Just my wife, I think. She still watches that junk like she's a little kid

[ZariusTwo]

That PPV felt more like the kind of decent episodes of RAW that have barely existed all year.

Someone should interview Taker about the current state of WWE , "you know"



SurSer Bryan vs Brock was all right

Spoiler for Christmas Day Smackdown

Spoiler:

It's also Rusev Day as the Bulgarian brute defeats Shinske Nakumura for the U.S title

[ZariusTwo]

Asuka vs Becky has been confirmed for the Royal Rumble

[XERO]

That's gonna be a good match. I doubt Becky will win since:

1. It's Asuka's second title defense in a month following her match with Naomi last Tuesday.

2. Becky winning would put a major hold on what they are allegedly planning with her and Rousey.

I'll sit back and watch the events unfold as the weeks go by. Still, I know Asuka and Becky will knock it out of the park at the Rumble.

[ZariusTwo]

...And now, apparently, it's off

Vince must be flip-flopping on whether or not to have Becky headline 'Mania.

[The Deadman]

So WWE released their year end rewards

Male Star of the Year: Braun Strowman

Female Star of the Year: Becky Lynch

Tag Team of the Year: The Bar

Breakout Star of the Year: Elias

Most Underrated Star of the Year: Naomi

Return of the Year: Dean Ambrose

Best on the Mic of the Year: Paul Heyman

Rivalry of the Year: Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns

Best Diss of the Year: Ronda Rousey's promo against Nikki Bella

Match of the Year: Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair at Evolution

Shocking Moment of the Year: Randy Orton with the screwdriver through Jeff Hardy's earlope

GM of the Year: Paige

Most Hated of the Year: Baron Corbin

Brand of the Year: Raw

Funniest Moment of the Year: Titus O Neil falling at The Greatest Royal Rumble

Raw being Brand of the Year has got to be a joke, right?

[ZariusTwo]

Did they pick Naomi's name out of a hat for that one?

I want him to take as long as he needs. However, while he recovers it is nice to see uplifting updates. Its funny how fans are reacting to his temporary removal from the RAW banner despite reception from fans, but I am hoping it means appreciation during his future performances.

Lars Sullivan appears to be suffering from strong anxiety issues, causing him to miss scheduled matches for RAW and Smackdown

https://www.ringsidenews.com/2019/01...nxiety-attack/

Sullivan has every right to be nervous, WWE are lining him up to face Cena at 'Mania

One of my buddies from the Monster Factory, Nick Comorato, just got signed to NXT.

Awesome guy. Quite a few of my buddies from the Factory days have been getting signed recently, including Punishment Martinez and, of course, Matt Riddle.

Good sh*t.
