Colour me sceptical when it comes to believing a 13 year old killed an adult drug dealer and was able to hide the body and never get caught.

It certainly doesn't tie in with the cowardly Marty Jannetty we see later on, like when he dove through that barber shop window to escape Shawn Michaels.

WWE has hit another all time low for me now they have teamed up with a gambling company so fans to gamble on NXT results.

While I dont think them teaming with a gambling company is right, how is this an all time low?

Saudi Murder Money? The cover up of sexual assault? The murder cover up?

They were always morally bankrupt. This is no surprise.

The whole of the wrestling business has been morally bankrupt, historically. It can't really be that much of a surprise, given it's a business that grew out of the carnival, traditionally based on a con. But certainly, the WWE being the leading practitioner of wrestling will naturally enough also be its leading practitioner of seediness and shadiness.

Marty Jannetty is one of those woulda, coulda, shoulda guys in wrestling, who probably could have had a long career in the upper mid card if he'd kept it together. Loads of talent, fair charisma, good look etc. Just seemed to get a bit hung up on the drink and drugs. I remember being taken aback at how good he still was when he started working with WWE again in the mid to late 2000s.

I haven't even clicked but pretty scummy of any channel to be interviewing Jannetty in his current state.

Booker T on his podcast this week is basically insinuating Dixie Carter was shagging half the TNA roster when he was there.

I thought that was well-known around the wrestling world. Scott Hall was on one those Kayfabe commentaries things where he said he kicked himself when he found out, as he found Dixie very attractive and wouldn't have minded a go himself.

To be honest I wouldn't believe a word out of Scott Hall's mouth even if he had a gun to his head it would still probably be a lie.

Bit harsh. Sure, if he was lying he might as well say he did shag her.

Tonight, I'm drinking "the good stuff". Yamazaki 18 from suntorywhisky is the spirit of choice. I have come to terms with @wwe
on a multi year deal. MVP is in #thehurtbusiness for the foreseeable future! Kampai!

Like I've said before, fair play to him. I remember seeing him on The Wrestlers and he was having matches in front of really small crowds but he's made the most of his return. I know he's till in front of really small crowds, but still.

Good to see wwe investing in Young upcoming talent.

Hes there to get people over, I see no problem with him. He can speak natutally better than most.

MVP & Bobby were a main event act in Impact. If they are not getting over in WWE it says more about there booking then there talent.

The chap came in as a one off rumble surprise, and through the no crowd era, has grabbed every opportunity that's been given and has been really entertaining. He should absolutely be rewarded just for making shelton Benjamin relative again. He's basically taz in AEW just with the ability to have matches. If he's getting paid for the work he put in during coronavirus, fair play to him.

Tyson Kid running the ropes with Natalya and looking in great shape after everything he went through it great to see him so healthy.

I hope he isn't thinking of returning to the ring.

Leader of retribution ?

Main event act in impact is like saying this guy was a manager in a lemonade stand.

I do agree with the booking for Bobby bland. They let him in midcard for too long to be taken seriously.

I think MVP would work well with a new star. Like the lad in underground who was 7ft. Pair him with MVP he can be a monster and MVP can be the mouth piece.

While Impact is a lot lower on the top promition scale, it doesnt mean its a place of lower end talent.

McIntrye is a star and they gave him a platform to redeem himself.

Anyway, do I want to see MVP wrestle each week? No. But hes very capable of getting younger talent over, providing advice and being a watchable of air talent from a promo POV.
