This is the second time Uso has been arrested for DUI. Guess he didn't learn his lesson the first time.

Just saw on Twitter that wrestler Chris Youngblood has passed away at the age of 55. No word on the cause of death.

Deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Twitter is reporting that Bayley suffered an injury while training for her MITB match against Bianca Belair on July 18th. While what kind of injury has not been revealed, it looks like she's going to be on the shelf for about nine months.

A new opponent for Belair will be announced tonight on Smackdown.

This really sucks. I was looking forward to seeing her at MITB.

Stephanie McMahon set to meet with TV network in regards to pitched ideas to boost WWE ratings
ByPaul DavisPublished on July 8, 2021

As previously noted, the Raw ratings for this week dropped to an all-time record low and it’s very clear that the product is stale and something needs to be done to get back some of the fans that have stopped watching the show.

WWE is preparing to welcome fans back to their shows in less than two weeks and there are plans to bring in some big names as they begin the build to SummerSlam.

Andrew Zarian noted on the Mat Men Podcast that Stephanie McMahon is set for a meeting at the end of this month to talk about some of the ideas that have been pitched by one of WWE’s TV partners.

Zarian said, “I don’t know which network it was but somebody told me that Steph has a meeting with one of the networks at the end of the month for pitched ideas from the network. I don’t know if this is a common thing that they do or if this is a regular thing but I know that the networks are pitching ideas.”

Zarian said that some of the suggested concepts include Raw Roulette and Legends Night. Zarian previously reported that the King of the Ring is returning this year.

10 years ago and is still true today!

I’m happy for him personally but sad to see another talent where WWE dropped the ball. I’ll miss seeing him.

A case where a company is so big that things fall between the cracks.

Forgot about that. Credit to the Boss for allowing his failures to be out on display. Maybe another Boss should do that? Not that Vince has learned or changed since then…

RIP Mr. Wonderful.

Sorry to hear of this.

Great performer.

Even before he "turned" on Hogan, he was a top-of-card talent.

Remember him well wrestling on TBS (Georgia Championship Wrestling) taking on folks like Buzz Sawyer.
