Sasha Banks is officially done with WWE and a free agent as of New Year's Day.

She's currently in Japan awaiting to appear for a company over there, and Naomi is with her. Could just be there to support her friend but who knows.

[LaLaLand]

So we've been teased with Alexa Bliss returning to her old Wyatt-related character in the past few weeks (Wyatt's logo on the trons/monitors backstage, weird promos, attempting Sister Abigail on opponents etc) and on tonight's RAW there's Bliss vs. Belair for the title in Bianca's home state of Tennessee...

Full expecting a title change tonight or failing that something else monumental of sorts - turning Bliss heel and back to her "evil" character and having her beat the hometown/state champion for the title would be a great start. The heat! :omgno:

I just looked the odds for the men Rumble, fcuk me, i can't believe who's 3rd favourite, as far as the bookies are concerned only 3 people have a chance. I wouldn't mind either of the 3 tbh, especially the 2nd favourite.

Lacey Evans has seemingly left the WWE. :shrug:

The southern belle gimmick was gold, it was all downhill after they needlessly repackaged her. That time she worked the whole of Canada is still iconic :skull:

Lacey Evans has seemingly left the WWE. :shrug:


[Lacey Evans seemingly left WWE after
being "frustrated" with her booking in recent weeks,
thinks veteran (Exclusive)]

Something is going wrong in Women in WWE
I mean those 2 champs left last year


[Her last match went down on the June 23rd
episode of SmackDown when she lost
to Charlotte Flair in mere minutes.
Since then, apart from competing
in a dark match against Zelina Vega,
Evans has been absent from WWE.

On the latest edition of Sportskeeda's UnSKripted,
Bill Apter stated that the global juggernaut
never managed to find a clear-cut direction
for Lacey Evans.
He added that the fact that she wasn't being
used at all in recent weeks might
have been the final nail in the coffin
which convinced Evans that it was time to depart.]

How much is it?

I bought it on youtube so i can watch it my TV without any hitches (hopefully) and it was £16.99. I think you can get it on fite.tv for $19.99 and on Dazn but you need a subscription that's £19.99 a month, and then you have to pay for the PPV on top of that.

Im not taking a dig at you, but i'd thought you might like him as he's a hardcore Democrat. He even posed next to a sign in London "trans lives are real lives" or something.

Did you know that there was a time when UK Wrestling was huge? It was on every Saturday on ITV. Town halls snd arenas up and down the country were packed out every night of the year with Wrestling fans.

The UK wrestlers of the 70s and 80s were the pioneers of what you see today.

Mark Rollerball Rocco. The Dynamite Kid. Marty Jones. Dave Fit Finlay. Were doing what The Undertsker, Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan was doing 40/50 years ago.

I saw them all. They were the originals of the style of Wrestling you all love now. They were better at it too. They knew how to tell a story, get heat like never seen since and have the technical ability to go with it.

A smaller ring and a few different rules, like rounds but the technical ability is supreme.

Two of the greatest ever. Two true pioneers.

Rollerball Rocco vs Dynamite Kid.



Y6IkFdJEhHI?si=kCAdzZ8FM6244btB

[Alf]

Here's Stone Cold Steve Austin enquiring what Rollerball Rocco was like from William Regal.

Austin knows of the Legend of the name but never saw him.



I saw Rocco about 4 or 5 times, ringside seats most times. And I can tell you he was something else. You couldn't take your eyes of him. He was immaculate in every way. He was my hero back then.

r895OHLzvkE?si=VgkcngUwq9mfU-4U

[Alf]

Here is Bret the hitman Hart calling Dynamite Kid the best ever.

I'd love to hear Bret's opinions on Rollerball Rocco. I reckon they probably wrestled each other at some point. I know they met.


xrt_ygbvpI4?si=L_fyM6WuEpdjkeVZ

[Alf]

A great historical wrestling video to watch for any Wrestling fan.

It's two guys talking about what William Regal said is the best match ever. Rollerball Rocco vs Marty Jones.

Just look at some of the bumps Rocco takes into the turnbuckle. Shawn Michaels used to copy that but never did it as good as Rocco. And I'm not knocking Michaels, he's a fantastic wrestler and one of the best at taking bumps, but he has nothing on Rollerball.


6SQz4M7LV3U?si=OIF1E30yfB3loZ-B

[Alf]

My point is. You should know who Mark Rollerball Rocco is and It's my honour and privilege to share or introduce you to him, he's that important in Wrestling. Like I said. He was my hero as a young kid.
