Awesome Kongโs body of work on GLOW makes her top 3 in the Wrestlers who can really act category. Sheโs up there with Dave Bautista and John Cena. I hope she gets more acting gigs!
This picture is from one of our backyard wrestling shows 10 years ago. Iโm so happy for my mate and I know heโll show the world heโs the greatest wrestler alive. โฆ

Thank you brother - itโs been a long time coming. History has been made I think Iโm the first Black person to host on a major wrestling media channel thanks to
@ThisisLukeOwen
@OliDavis
@PeteQuinnell
and the rest of the

team. Thank you for this honour!!!
Started watching wrestling in 1992, representation was scarce for me. Virgilโs presence meant more than words can express. From his iconic theme song, feud with Ted DiBiase to his role as Vincent in nWo, also that brief AEW stint. Mike Jones maximised his screen time.
#RIPVirgil
Kota Ibushi is a human being. Judging by the way some talk about him here on this app, you'd think he's a racehorse or an old dog needing to be put out to pasture. He sacrificed both ankles, trying to meet your expectations. Show some fucking compassion!
It still irks me that AR Fox got kicked out of Mogul Embassy. He added a militant vibe to the group. He was more aligned with Swerve, than any other member of the Embassy. Now Fox is back to playing a nondescript โgood handโ while Mogul Embassy are feuding with The Hung Bucks!
This was the story. Overcoming doubt, adversity and honouring your fatherโs legacy. Now Cody is going for *checkโs notes* โloser bracket titleโ against a guy heโs beaten twice. Donโt change the plot on me halfway through. Donโt M. Night Shyamalan me!
This is when they shouldโve done Roman Reigns vs The Rock. When we desperately needed something fresh and the roster was lacking in credible main eventers at the time!
Once Jey Uso turns on Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber. Youโll understand that the feud has always been Sami vs Jey. The Usos vs KO & Sami at Wrestlemania wonโt seem so far-fetched next month. Let it play out!
This is a dream storyline for Cody Rhodes. This is his, Corporate Yuppies (4 Horsemen) vs Common Man (Dusty Rhodes) feud. A great pivot from WWE. Now Iโm looking forward to Smackdown! and

is set to replace Kevin Patrick on the

commentary team:
"Kevin Patrick's gone. Unless something changes. I donโt know details, I don't know who's gonna be replacing him. I'm not surprised.

Stuff like this makes me think, whatโs the point of talking about wrestling. When thereโs a fanbase that treats Black content creators like this. Like, seriously fuck you racist, inbred, pea brained dweebs!
The 05-07-04 episode of RAW, the one where Eugene was GM for the night and Ric Flair really got into the musical chairs and was on one!!! ๐คฃ the strut to the music! *chefs kiss* ๐๐ฟ
I donโt want The Rock vs Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 40. I want the match in Australia at the Elimination Chamber. Cody has got to finish the story. If you disagree, then youโre thinking like old man Vince. Because if he was booking things, this would happen in Philly!
Remember when dummies claimed that Toni Storm didnโt have charisma or couldnโt cut a promoโฆyeah, that take has aged like milk. Womenโs Promo of the year!
If Mariah May goes back to using โEvil Glamour as her theme song, it will hit much different than before. Because itโs a very sinister and foreboding theme song. Itโs like Xena: Warrior Princess meets Mortal Kombat!
This got me emotional ๐ฅน - so happy for Bayley. Has been selfless for the last 2 and half years. Putting other wrestlers over. Itโs time for her to have her moment at Wrestlemania!
I got to see one of my oldest friends
@WillOspreay
perform at Wembley stadium. Watched it with mates he used to backyard wrestle with. A special moment for us to cheer him on!
#AEWAllIn
Because itโs realistic to hangout with people your own race. Because you have more in common culturally and you donโt have to explain certain jokes or ideology. They just get it!
Sami Zayn is a former 3x Intercontinental Champion. He doesnโt need a 4th. Iโd rather he wrestle for WHC, itโs the level heโs at now. This is Chad Gableโs timeโฆor a surprise Sheamus return at the gauntlet! ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
Please, nobody patronise me about โthe businessโ - unless youโre a shareholder in WWE/TKO, youโre not qualified to tell me about โdrawโ, โbox-officeโ, โmainstreamโ, โcasual fansโ. I donโt care about that. This isnโt The Apprentice!
Dude is setting up AZM, to get harassed by a certain fanbase. Sometimes, just don't compare wrestlers to each other. You can compliment someoneโs ability without putting someone else down, David!
Dave Meltzer had incredibly high praise for Stardom's AZM following her appearance on AEW Collision last week, claiming she's a 'better wrestler' than Mercedes Mone:
"She's so good, she's such a good wrestler. Even if Mercedes gets back to the level that she was, AZM's actually
Bad faith argument. Representation matters. Iโm happy for The Black, Latino and East Asian Demographic for having people that look like them. I didnโt cry when Evolution consisted of white men running roughshod and using their privilege on RAW! ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ

Iโm seeing all of these Matt Hardy slander. It easy to forget he created one of the best characters in the last 20 years with โBrokenโ Matt Hardy. โBrokenโ Matt hobbled so Timeless Toni Storm could fly!
After NWA shat the bed, TNA fired Scott DโAmore, NJPW in a state of flux and no one talks about MLW. A slot for number 3 wrestling promotion is wide open!
Freddie Prinze Jr has revealed that his upcoming promotion will draw more from Lucha Underground than it will from WWE or AEW.
"The look of it will be much different than AEW and WWE. There was a show called Lucha Underground, which utilized space really, really well, which had

Titus OโNeil passed his 2 auditions at
#Wrestlemania
make him a full time colour commentator on
#wweraw
that commentary table needs some seasoning because KP ainโt it!
Hidden in plain sight. Vince McMahon from 2001, started to show his true colours. The humiliation of a woman. William Regal in a lackey/Co-conspirator role like John Laurinaitis. Itโs all there!
You remove Brock from Wrestling history and it only affects The Undertakerโs streak. Eddie Guerrero wouldโve become world champion regardless. If we lost Batista, we would get Mark Jindrak vs HHH at WM 31๐คฃ
At the end of KNOW YOUR ROLE tonight I went on a bit of an emotional rant expressing how surreal it is to see this! A little black girl started watching at 6 yrs old .. and now 3 top women in WWE will be at Wrestlemania that look like me (minus the abs) and my daughter ๐ฅนโค๏ธ
Did Dominik beat the allegations that he canโt wrestle or will people say Rey carried him?...also they need to stop teasing me with the mask. Give me Prince Mysterio at the end of this feud!
#Wrestlemania
Bought a PS5. My first console in over a decade (skipped PS4).
Iโm not cut out for this generation of gaming as I get defeated by logins and pop ups asking me to purchase this pass in order to continue playing a game. I miss the days when I can just put in a disc and play!
Pete was my OG when I started working with Wrestletalk, took time to guide me in this crazy world of content creation. I thank him for being there for me, whenever I felt lost and I needed questions answered. I wish Pete the best at new his job. Heโs one of the hardest workers!
As announced on Monday Night War, I will be leaving Trident Digital Media this week.
Itโs been a joyous five and a half years, but itโs time for me to move on.
I wish nothing but the best for the rest of the WrestleTalk, PFK, NRB and extended teams.
Wrestling Twitter only mention Bron Breakkerโs uncle Scott Steiner, every time he appears on screen. Which is shade because Rick Steiner is awesome in his own right. Forever underratedโผ๏ธ
Iโll never understand during the boom period of NXT, why Dalton Castle wasnโt snatched up. Bad back and all. Dude shouldโve been on international TV l, years ago. Dude is IT!!!
