    Vince not that stubborn after all. ;)

    This probably played a factor.

    Wow, that was a real kick in Vince's grapefruits. Score one for decency.

    Here, have a Snickers, Vince.

    Why?

    Because you were tying a big event on your flagship PPV of the year to a human trafficker when you're hungry.

    As for Asuka & Charlotte, an IG story that Charlotte posted yesterday reminded me that they could also play it as Charlotte following in the footsteps of her father with his series of matches vs The Great Muta. I'd like to see some references about that.

    I've tried and I can't muster the energy to care about the Moolah thing. At all. What happens to the Warrior courage award now? Surely that has to go. His vile language is much worse, more offensive and more readily available online, is it not?

    Cody Rhodes has built himself into an immensely greater position than he ever had in WWE, and he is a good guy, too.

    Ken Shamrock telling The Rock to bash him in the head with the chair, and Rock nearly killing him with it is my all-time WWF chair moment.

    Times certainly have changed.

    His language was vile and offensive, although my understanding is that he apologized for some of it before he died. But he wasn't stealing money from anyone (well, except those who paid for Halloween Havoc '98) and he didn't pimp out anyone. Plus, the idea was Warrior's and his wife is a spokesperson for it, so I could see it staying.

    The Moolah thing was just tone-deaf. I don't think she deserves the Benoit treatment, because she was a large part of women's wrestling history and it wouldn't be fair to the other wrestlers whose careers live on in video matches with her. But in this day and age, there's no need to glorify her as some sort of trailblazer.

    I think Mae is the much more supportable, with the great tribute when she passed, and the women's tournament.

    Who that has said the kind of stuff he said about gays is not persona non grata in any public industry? He's way farther off the reservation than John Rocker or Mel gibson.
