I have no interest in rumor or "hot takes". All I can say is it was great to see @CMPunk for the 1st time in 18 years at @CACReunion & he was great to everyone. I hope whatever he does next allows him to have many more days as the CAC version of Punk as opposed to what's written.

This is the last wrestling promo Terry Funk ever cut, as introduced by @bullyray5150 prior to his match with @TheMattCardona . Fittingly, it was played at the ECW Arena during an ECW tribute show this past December. I had no idea this was coming until it happened.

Just watched a few recent indy matches. The time the commentators spent on bad/inside jokes, some at the expense of the talent, most devaluing the match, was disappointing. Promoters: if you spend 1000s on a dream card, have a support staff that won't accidentally ruin it.

I wish more people, especially announcers & promoters, used the word "event" instead of "show". Anything can be a show. The 2nd grade school play is a show. Some guy with homemade sock puppets can do a show. But an event? That feels like you're part of something special.
