10 years ago, I watched
#WrestleMania
from my dorm room alone.
10 years later, I got to cover it in person & enjoy it among incredible company.
Grateful to get the opportunity to be ringside & on the ramp shortly before showtime. Simply surreal.
Thank you all. More to come. 🙏

Ric Flair is not being "canceled" for the sake of being "canceled." He is being called out for something terrible he did and rightfully so.
Some people already knew this story. Some did not. It's not about "cancel culture." It's about reminding people of how bad it actually was.

That TK quote on Thunder Rosa not receiving as much time to announce her injury as CM Punk because she's not as big of a draw is something else.

Unless there was an issue backstage, Bobby Fish's AEW contract not renewed makes absolutely no sense.

Whoever leaked that report about Vince to the Wall Street Journal should receive a Nobel Prize. Thank god that guy is gone.
