Here's me bitching about a bunch of stuff that happened in wrestling this year. Mostly about Cena's farewell tour. Enjoy. @nodqdotcom

@GerryCallahan Was it @SenWarren who once said "sometimes people can only be pushed so far"

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

@courtney_1030 No lockdown by far lol

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

Last month I was told two things. One, another virus was gonna shut us down, and two, John Cena was gonna have a big event in his name. Haven't heard squat about either since. 😏

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

@AEWNeckbeard Incels nerd get off on this

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

@eduardomenoni I'm sure the environmentalists see this as a good use of water.

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

Well if his name was LA Fatu or LA Annoy'ing he'd somehow connect!

[⭐️ @LAKnightsGame]

Yeah, LA Knight DEFINITELY isn’t connecting with the crowd lol

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

Wasn't this just a burial? I heard Steve was being fed to Brock because he buried creative on Byte This and then when he was told he was losing on Raw he said fuck that.

[Sean Waltman @TheRealXPac]

I'm not trying to speak for anyone else in the locker room at the time, but I don't remember anyone being upset with Steve over this. He damn sure didn't owe me an apology.

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

@90sWWE No Mercy or Smackdown Vs Raw 2007

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

No. He's actally the worst and I don't care what nostalgia blind people say or young fans who grew up on him. No personality. No instincts to improv. This past month he brutally buries Fatu and Oba in a way no competent babyface announcer should ever do.

[Ridwan @Eromina_Mutairu]

Is Michael Cole actually the greatest commentator in WWE history?

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

@sign_squad Thanks for looking at my bio, but yours, leading off with preferred pronouns, of course, says you still have a ton of growing up yourself to do. I'm sure listing off your mental illnesses and sexual perversions make you feel like you have a real personality.

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

Things must be either so great or so boring in wrestling today that we dig up the most forgotten about, insignificant crap to dig up on the internet and pretend to be mad about just so we have something to talk about. Friggin 27 years ago this aired, dude lmao

[IandrewDiceClay @IANdrewDiceClay]

This was so trashy, even at the time. Promoting Sunday Night Heat and the King of the Ring qualifiers and then straight into Boss Man's tribute to Owen Hart.

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

@OleTimeHardball Pete Rose because what he did wasn't cheating and Curt Schilling because he 100% deserves it and is only kept out because of his outspoken politics. The rest made their bed.

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

Seems random, but in the build to this match, HHH referenced the previous year's Royal Rumble when Rock hit Mick with a dozen chair shots while handcuffed and promised the same in this match. Rock made the save here to prevent it.

[Hollywood Gump @FirstNameJ0hn]

That time The Rock came out of nowhere, laid Triple H’s ass out with a steel chair, and then just left. 💪😎

[Boston Radio Watch®️ @bostonradio]

42 years ago tonight, June 8, 1984, West Boylston native Donnie Beardsley (RIP 2015) seated at The Fours Boston(RIP 2020) before Game 5(“Heat Game”) of the 1984 Finals and delivered his now‑legendary prediction to the NBA Entertainment crew.

Later that night, a friend who worked at the Garden snuck Donnie and his buddy Dale inside. They camped out in the men’s room until the doors opened and the crowd started pouring in.

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

@Xusername2026 @IANdrewDiceClay Especially something so insigificant. In all my years this is the first time I've heard someone go "hey remember that time they segued from a KOTR promo into Bossman's tribute to Owen?" This really isn't even bad at all. IWC needs to get some fresh air or get laid bad.

[Tyler Milliken @tylermilliken_]

June 7th, 2007: Curt Schilling comes within 1 out of throwing a no-hitter at 40 years old.

Shannon Stewart broke it up for the A’s. Jason Varitek had called for a slider. Schilling shook him off and went for the fastball. Still, the Red Sox won it 1-0 only 2 pitches later.

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

LA Knight sounded so done during his CVV interview. But in WWE they have the attitude that you need to advocate for yourself if you wanna be a top guy but at the same time also be grateful for whatever they give you or else you have an attitude problem. Follow that?

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

Yeah, only 1995 Cactus Jack isn't in AEW. It's 2026, 61-year-old 325 pound Mick Foley, who Vince McMahon first urged to retire in 1999.

[Conrad the Mortgage Guy @HeyHeyItsConrad]

Just thinking out loud…

Cactus & Darby vs. MJF & Moxley

I’m ALL IN on that idea!

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

@Marcludeman1 @nodqdotcom @aaronrift Bryan himself hasn't been a vegan for at least a decade

[K.C.A. | Paul Mateus @PlanetKayfabe]

They sure did!
And if anyone thinks WWE heard that and said "wow we should really push this guy" then you must be new here

[Wrestle Ops @WrestleOps]

Chad Gable is back on SmackDown and the crowd in Italy erupts.
