Buck You!:


Pat Buck has joined AEW, just days after quitting WWE.


Juice leaving:


Juice Robinson is leaving NJPW at the end of the month.

WWE Alum refuses match:


Lince Dorado has asked to be removed from a match involving Marty Scurll from Crash in Mexico, as many others cancel their bookings altogether. Lince did not confirm his reasons, but others have openly stated that Marty's involvement in the sexual assault on a drunk 16 year old is the reason they chose to boycott the show.

Caleb leaves:


Caleb Konley has left Impact.

Jake talks heat with HOF:


Jake The Snake has listed a number of reasons he is not a fan of the WWE HOF, including Kamala not being there, non workers going in, and having to wait too long for his call... he also said he has a plan to fix it...

“I still had a little sore spot in the back of my mouth that it should have happened years before. Because I’ve seen so many people that went in who I feel shouldn’t have gotten there. That’s my only beef with the Hall of Fame, is that there are people in there that shouldn’t be. I think it needs to be taken to the people, maybe given a vote. Maybe the guys in the Hall of Fame should vote for who comes in next. The system they’re using now stinks. Whether it be Hunter or whoever, I just don’t like the system they use and they put people in there who have nothing to do with wrestling. You know wrestling, there should be something out there just for wrestlers.”

Name changes:


The recent spate of name changes in WWE was ordered by Vince himself. He let it be known that he does not want anyone to use their real or pre WWE ring names.

WWE rich list:


The 5 highest paid WWE staff have been named, and not one of them is a wrestler...

  1. Vince McMahon – $2 million in 2022
  2. Nick Khan – $1.2 million in 2022
  3. Paul “Triple H” Levesque – $730,000 in 2022 + Talent contract
  4. Stephanie McMahon – $730,000 in 2022 + Talent contract
  5. Frank A. Riddick III – $850,000 in 2022

Those amounts are base salaries, all also benefit from numerous other income streams from the company, leading to substantial trips to the back in the past 12 months.

Why I Quit:


Toni Storm says a moment of impulsiveness led to her WWE departure...

“I just kinda – you know, have you ever lost it? Have you ever just lost your mind?  That’s kinda what happened, I guess. The stress of not seeing family in years and then just so many overwhelming things all at once and uh, yeah. I’ve been happier ever since.”

Rock credits SmackDown owner:


The Rock says Harvey Whipplemann was the man that first used the word that became WWE's 2nd longest running TV show.

Skin game:


Batista has opened up a tattoo studio in Tampa.
