Hell baby
I don’t think they need a true offseason but they absolutely shouldn’t be working 12 months a year. Can definitely understand how the job is mentally taxing.

I guess I don't get Tony's endgame with his handling of Rey Fenix.

End of the day, he's not a game-changing talent, and no matter how good he may be, he's a relatively unimportant addition for WWE considering how poorly they prioritize their tag division.

Yeah, you don't want to set a precedent, but Fenix isn't really the guy to kick and scream over. That should've been reserved for exercising Cody's one year option.

Tony's initial appeal was as a guy who would treat the talent better than Vince did. Problem is, now Vince is gone, and Tony is using a lot of the same tactics Vince used to use. Though at least Vince wouldn't usually pay the guy to sit on the bench.

The Arctic
She was born there. But to go from there to Yellowknife is a wild ride. I’d like to hear that story.
It was a culture shock even for me moving there from Newfoundland, lol. I couldn't imagine going from the Philippines to such a brutally cold winter, haha.

Even her personal story is kind of crazy. In high school they were clearly super flamboyant, dressed to the nines every day. You kind of knew they were going to be entertaining some how. Kids were super shitty to Giselle back then, which was kind of lame. She came back a few years later, maybe in her early-mid 20's going through a full transition and everyone was like "Holy shit!" - I mean, small town and what not. Everyone knows each other or knows of each other.

I’ve always wanted to visit a town like that. A town of 20,000 people, she might be the most famous person from there right now.

20k is actually a huge town, probably a city technically. Other than a few years living in London, Ontario I've spent my whole life living in towns that range from 300 to 3,000 people.

It’s another star rating day on Dave Meltzer’s Twitter. This time it’s because he won’t make any women’s matches 5 stars. Mercedes vs. Hazuki gets 4.75

I dunno that anybody brings up the stars at this rate except when mocking Dave.

Even Dave's favorites laugh about it. Ospreay pretty much shit all over him for giving Will dozens of 5*+ matches while maintaining that Kurt never had one.

That’s because Ospreay has it wrong too. The star rating is just that. A rating. It’s not an award.
