WWE’s release of Bray Wyatt may be its most confusing yet
News of WWE releasing a hyper-talented performer who had been underused, or misused altogether, has become so commonplace in recent times that it’s no longer surprising. Just in the past two months we’ve seen Aleister Black (now Malakai Black), Ruby Riott, Braun Strowman, Mickie James, Andrade, and ...
I thought having a crowd would make Monday Night Raw try harder. That’s my bad
Monday Night Raw was last in the pool, as it were. AEW Dynamite has run two shows in front of live crowds, and really had been operating in front of a crowd since they started letting fans fill the seats at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Fla. WWE returned to its normal arena show last Friday on Smac...

The pandemic era has ended for AEW and WWE. Now what?
You wouldn’t think a video package simply about a wrestling company being stuck in one location for 15 months can bring a tear to the eye, but I suppose that’s a testament to the production team at AEW:...

The Thunderdome gave WWE this Roman Reigns, will they keep him?
For all intents and purposes, WWE exited its “Thunderdome Era” last night. The “Hell In A Cell” pay-per-view was the last one that will take place in the company’s outsized and glorified TV studio, as next month’s “Money In The Bank” will take place in Fort Worth before a live crowd. There are still...
John Cena has to apologize for being right about Taiwan — OK, sure
There’s an old George Carlin bit — I guess they’re all old now (sigh) — about The Big Club. Still rings true today, even though it’s some 25 years old now or more. And while that “Big Club” may not be owned by China, it’s certainly still a slave to the money that China can provide them. Which is jus...
Yes, WWE had zombies at Wrestlemania Backlash, and it’s probably fine
As a wrestling fan, it seems silly that there could be anything you could be told happened at a wrestling show where the reaction would be, “Oh that’s too stupid.” ...
Welcome back, Kazmar! Braves’ infielder claws his way back to The Bigs today after 13-year absence

David Wells shows his ass, water is wet and other knowns
When I was in high school I wore 33 on my baseball jersey because of the numbers available in my size, that was the one I could pick to emulate a favorite player, David Wells....
We’ve got your Wrestlemania Night 1 preview
It’s the Showcase of the Immortals! And it’s a return to live crowds for wrestling, at least for big-time wrestling. As well as the first time the industry’s biggest show appears on Peacock. So many nuances! Once again, Wrestlemania is split into two nights, and Deadspin wrestling writers Bryan Fons...
Yep, Vince McMahon is as evil as you think he is, chapter 893
It won’t come as much of a shock to anyone even vaguely familiar with Vince McMahon that he’s pretty much a shit-demon, albeit a shit-demon with billions of dollars. As we’ve learned from recent history, and much to our detriment, being a billionaire means never having to say you’re sorry, or even a...
Padres Pitcher Shines In Major-League Debut, Also Wins Bet With His Good Friend John Cena
A pitcher making his first MLB start against the Milwaukee Brewers’ fearsome offense is already a daunting scenario, but add the pressure of John Cena rooting for you, and man, it’s impressive that Logan Allen got out alive....
Yes, WWE Wrote John Cena And Daniel Bryan Off Friday's Saudi Arabia Card
After a week of unconfirmed reports that both John Cena and Daniel Bryan were refusing to work this Friday’s WWE Crown Jewel event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, we have our answer. It wasn’t a straight one from the promotion itself, unsurprisingly—WWE had repeatedly refused to address whether Cena and Br...

<i>Raw</i> Opened With A Match That Lasted Two Hours And It Ruled
WWE Raw is repetitive. It’s three hours long and sometimes a slog to get through. And when Roman Reigns walked out to start the show last night, it seemed like we’d be getting another 20-minute opening promo segment....
John Cena And Roman Reigns Broke The Fourth Wall, Cut A Great Promo
There’s so much talking on WWE Raw. It always opens with a promo and sometimes they just talk talk talk. For every great Paul Heyman promo there are two segments that just drone on and on and on. It happens. The show’s three hours! What else are you going to fill time with, wrestling?...
John Cena Gets Dropped On Head, Tells Shinsuke Nakamura “Don’t Be Sorry”
The first reaction a lot of people had to the news that Shinsuke Nakamura would face John Cena in a number one contenders match on WWE SmackDown was anger. “Why are they fighting on free TV?” people asked....
