Any thoughts on the upcoming Von Erich movie starring Zac Efron?

Excited about the movie. Hope it's factually accurate. Don't give a flip about Zac Efron. Main thing is keep the story true and don't "Hollywood" it.

Efron will have to beef up some to play daddy Fritz. I don't think I would have chosen him for the role.

Any predictions on tonight's AEW PPV, Forbidden Door?

I was going to post the lineup here in a bit. I wish I could see it. My only prediction is I'm going to be mad tomorrow that I missed it. Lol. I suspect White and Moxley both win. Young Bucks too. A lot of really good matches. I hope I can catch the replay this week. I really want to see Okada. The winner takes it all tag team match looks great.

Any predictions on tonight's WWE PPV, Money in the Bank from Lost Wages?

I haven’t watched it yet, but I read that it was an excellent, well-received show overall.

I liked to see Liv Morgan’s hard work pay off. She has greatly improved from her main roster debut.

No doubt she deserves it. I just hope she keeps it after Charlotte gets back from her honeymoon late this month or early August.

Did anyone see the huge botch during last night's NXT 2.0 episode? Keep your eye on Cora Jade's skateboard.

Ugh! That was terrible! Who OK’d that awful prop?

Whoever did is probably unemployed today.

The botch was bad enough, but to have it during a heel turn was even worse.

Bush league. I understand not wanting to hit someone with an actual skateboard, but come on! You do have to maintain some measure of things looking real!

That was so bad.

It was. I've been watching wrestling since the 60s, and I can't remember a bigger botch.
