In that interview Ric Flair said the same thing that he has said 1000's upon 1000's of times.  It's his gimmick and in the 70's and 80's, all the wrestling fans including women, loved every second of his promos.  It's truly amazing what offends people nowadays.

I think it's a combination of the fact that inviting women that age up to your hotel room is a little bit creepier in your 70s than your 30s or 40s, but more importantly I think it's the more widespread knowledge of him committing sexual assault on the plane ride from hell.

Thank you.

It is still puzzling how he got a pass from nearly everyone for that, and I think he has been programmed to think that he can just say and do whatever he wants and get away with it, because, let's face it, he has always gotten away with it.  They have a word for guys like that.

Why is he a creep for wanting to be with women 18-28?  That seems perfectly logical to me.

He didn't invite minors, after all.  Nothing illegal or negative about it.

I don't have a problem with it.    *shrugs*

Same. And it appears that DiCaprio is following in his footsteps.

So there are reports out there on Vince being accused of some pretty heinous gross actions.  The description is not looking pretty.  Sometimes, when you read stuff like this, you think, "How the f*** does this guy get away with this unscathed and still owns the company?"

Yeah, Vince McMahon can fuck right off, I'm so glad he's not running things anymore and I can't wait for the company to wash their hands of him for good. Brock Lesnar can fuck off with him, I hope I never see him on WWE TV again. This definitely dampers my excitement for driving to Tampa to go to the Royal Rumble in person on Saturday.

I haven't kept up with Seth Rollins this week, I wonder what the plan is for him now that he is legit injured. CM punk still winning?

I am REALLY excited for the Rumble.

I'm at the point now where I am no longer surprised in the slightest whenever I hear something scandalous about a celebrity. I might be caught off guard, but I am never shocked. Especially with Vince, everything I've ever heard about him stopped fazing me 20 years ago. That changed today.

Early during the alleged May 2020 threesome, “McMahon immediately directed Ms. Grant to lay down on her back in a supplicating position. While straddling over her, McMahon defecated on Ms. Grant’s head. McMahon left to shower off, but he instructed Ms. Grant to remain in place, with excrement in her hair, and to continue performing for his friend. While Ms. Grant requested protection, none was offered. McMahon and Physical Therapist actively continued with the threesome and directed Ms. Grant’s sexual performance for around an hour and a half while she was left covered in feces.”

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I'm not surprised like you said that there's allegations, and even really bad allegations, against Vince.  The guys basically a criminal in my mind and has been. But yeah, the shit story is just a different level of insanity.  It's almost like he treated his real life like WWE, and well, there's lots of evidence to support that. 

I don't really follow WWE, but I have to wonder what people like his family and Triple H have to say.  I've also have to believe a lot more people were probably complicit in his actions.

5am is way too fucking early :lol

But the results were predictable, I read comments that it was a good show overall, so I will try to watch it.

Also, if they don't put Cody over Roman...that will be fucking stupid.

Ole Anderson died. Even as a kid I knew it was all "fake" but part of me still believed to my core that they really broke Dusty's arm. Their feuds with the Four Horsemen would have with Dusty Rhodes and the Rock n Roll Express were legendary.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday about Ole Anderson.

It was fake and everything, but he was really a tough old asshole, not doubt about.  One of the real ones.

I wouldn't say MASSIVELY hyped, but I am more hyped than normal.  I don't watch RAW or Smackdown normally, but my kid and I attended RAW a week or two ago and that was hella fun, so we may tune for WM.

I'm very much looking forward to Wrestlemania weekend (don't sleep on NXT Stand & Deliver on Saturday)! The build and the card for this year have been nothing short of epic, it should be a great two days of wrestling.

I wouldn't say MASSIVELY hyped, but I am more hyped than normal.  I don't watch RAW or Smackdown normally, but my kid and I attended RAW a week or two ago and that was hella fun, so we may tune for WM.

Definitely jealous you got to see that Creeds tag match live, one of my favorites from recently.

So in terms of the 10, 20, 30, 40 edition of Wrestlemania, how does 40 rank compared to those 3 other ones?  It seems like when it gets to that X0 mark, it feels like it's one of the more better versions.

I'd have to review the cards and maybe rewatch some of them, but 40 was very very good. Some really high highs and no bad matches across two nights.

Night 2 was much better than Night 1.  That main event was spectacular.

The main was great, and a few of the matches just got into a higher gear than most of the night 1 matches were able to hit.

We enjoyed both nights.  First WM I've watched in years.  Loved it.

Raw tonight should be a lot of fun as well. The Raw after Mania has kinda become its own thing, a lot of the diehards who travel to attend WM will go to Raw as well and since so many stories reach their conclusion over the weekend there are some surprise debuts/returns etc... to kick off new stores.

I've watched quite a few cell phone recordings of the final minutes of Cody-Reigns. After Seth gets knocked out and The Rock is in the middle of the ring, every single person is all "Stone Cold is coming out! That glass is gonna shatter! Gimme a Hell Yeah!..." they are so amped up, they know for certain Austin is coming out. And then the gong hits, and everyone is "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I love how everyone can still lose their mind seeing Taker.
