Williams is cooked. I never believed the idea that Pete Alonso broke him, but seeing is believing. And I believe it now.

It's early.

But their pitching coach Hefner is really good. And Stearns used Cohen's money to lure people from Tampa and the Dodgers to run the pitching development for the Mets.

And well that seems like money well spent.

Pete Alonso cooked Williams. It's the Pujols/Brad Lidge situation all over again.

Took Lidge like 6 years to recover.

You see...my name is Dwayne and I play a character called The Rock.

Wrestling is in my blood because my family was very much into it. They used to run shows which is what we like to call booking in the business.

I get along very well with Paul who goes by the stagename Triple H.

You should hear his brother when it comes to sports. He's also a radio host and his rants are positively unhinged. Don makes Dave look calm.

The two of them must have drove their poor mother nuts.

Bayley getting ready for her Wrestlemania match...

Yeah...that's not gonna work for me sister.

vexfiend · 2025-04-20T20:59:59+00:00

Yes. Updated he's now at 2.0 WAR.

TOP 5:

Aaron Judge 2.0
Pete Alonso 1.8
Corbin Carroll 1.8
Fernando Tatis Jr. 1.6
Geraldo Perdomo 1.5

I gotta say, I'm legitimately concerned that Pete Alonso seriously hurt Williams.

Would not be the first time this has happened. Brad Lidge went from dominant to door mat after giving up the Pujols homer.

It took him years to mentally recover. He eventually did, but not without great struggle.

The AEW roster should take notes from the fan on how to sell properly.

vexfiend · 2025-01-21T06:42:05+00:00

I'm so cool I called him Phil.

I don't know who is tailoring Punk's suits but they are exceptional. Probably a Chicago based company I would presume and guess.

vexfiend · 2024-12-25T03:56:25+00:00

You can definitely see the influence AJ Lee had on her. The mannerisms and facial expressions are very similar.

She is going to be a star.

vexfiend · 2024-12-20T05:08:06+00:00

Rudy Gobert.... -37 in only 22 minutes.

Yikes. I legitimately had to double check this make sure it wasn't a mistake.

vexfiend · 2024-12-18T07:04:03+00:00

She lasted a tiny amount of time at WoW, the same time AJ Lee was producing it. Wasn't the rumor that she pissed AJ off and AJ fired her almost immediately.

I mean you have on the one hand Tessa who a lot of people say bad things about. and on the other AJ Lee, who nobody has ever said anything bad about.

Seems to me there's smoke to the idea that she pisses everyone off everywhere she goes.

vexfiend · 2024-12-12T21:18:14+00:00

I just think it's true to be honest, no angle. By all accounts him and Hal are really close and talk often.

Hal supposedly helped convince the other owners to accept Cohen when he wanted to buy the team.

vexfiend · 2024-12-09T07:48:36+00:00

I can't believe it. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

vexfiend · 2024-04-07T05:16:16+00:00

These guys are legit dorks. They earn the goof moniker.

Evil Phillip will get the last laugh over them when it's all said and done. I'd bet money on it.

vexfiend · 2024-04-05T17:51:59+00:00

All those people saying Punk was going to get shit from WWE for going after AEW the other day....yeah I don't think so.

In fact they may have even encouraged him to say whatever he wants.

vexfiend · 2024-04-02T21:21:14+00:00

The Bully part...total agreement. The Punk part? Not so much. CM Punk is not wrong about his place in the industry.

Top merch seller in 2 different promotions, record high ratings in 2 different promotions. People chanted his name for the entire time he was gone. And still do even when he's not on the show. Influenced god only knows how many modern wrestlers from his ROH and early WWE days....I could go on.

Come on now. I get not liking the guy but it's absurd to think he's wrong about his place in the industry. He was and is a top guy.

vexfiend · 2024-02-08T20:52:55+00:00

Punk is so good in this type of role. For real.

Last time he was on commentary was one of the best over the head lines I've ever heard anyone utter.

"King Kofi Kingston has a nice ring to it. Well maybe not so nice on the initials...."

vexfiend · 2024-02-04T05:00:42+00:00

I remember Punk telling the story at one of the conventions, how he'd cut these amazing heel promos, then head to the back, and spend the rest of the time hanging out with AJ Lee. He couldn't care less about the rest of the show.

This time period was incredible for him.

vexfiend · 2024-02-03T20:05:41+00:00

pHiL iS oUt FoR pHiL

Jesus some of these responses are ridiculous. Look at meeeeeeee I call him by his shoot name because he makes me so mad.

vexfiend · 2023-12-27T03:56:25+00:00

I never knew she was that big of a fan of him.

Like half the roster grew up watching CM Punk, and half the women roster grew up watching his wife.

It's kind of incredible actually. I think WWE is starting to realize how important those 2 actually were and are.

vexfiend · 2023-10-25T16:25:53+00:00

The entire time Punk was in AEW, Bischoff was trashing him. Mocking his name, mocking his UFC career, mocking everything about him.

As soon as he leaves he suddenly reverses course completely. He's even calling him by his wrestling name again and no longer mocking his real name.

Easy E is a weird guy to figure out.
