@DramaKingMatt Worse: the thumbs up when someone announces a loved one's death.
The only acceptable responses are the heart or hug, and maybe the mad face depending on the manner of death. But a thumbs up for mom kicking the bucket? C'mon now.
In Brawley for a family affair. Stopped at Las Palmitas for dinner and spotted this poster. If you're in town, check out the lucha (and give Palmitas' a try). #Lucha
Keith Lee is reportedly "all in" on the teachings of Darius J. Wright, a self-proclaimed "consciousness explorer" who believes the Egyptian pyramids were created using "laser technology."
"Whatever this is with Keith Lee, it's not some gimmick. When I this summer talked about how the belief was that he had retired โ I didnโt say it then because I didnโt have a lot of details but I was basically told about this. That being that whatever this AYDA is, whoever this Darius J. Wright is, I mean, I was basically told Keith is all in on this. He is all in... Itโs not a gimmick. Heโs deeply into this and that appears to be at least his foreseeable future."

Very cool seeing Haku back in WWE managing his sons.
Interesting note of trivia: If he were to have a match at Madison Square Garden, it would make him the first wrestler to ever wrestle at the Garden in five different decades.
WWE's website no longer lists Rhea Ripley as the Women's Champion. Something to pay attention to as Chelsea Green defends the title tonight on #SmackDown .
@Molliestake87 Not a single hot heel. A lot of tweeners, a few respectable bad guys like Gunther.
But a motherfxxker you want to see get the ๐ฉ beaten out of?
Not a one.
The AKI engine aged so well because it understood wrestling, not just wrestling moves. Timing. Momentum. Escalation. Selling. A match had rhythm and everything felt earned. Technology gets old. Great game design does not.
You know youโre old, when youโre entering your date of birth with a smartphone & to get to your birth year you have to spin that bitch like youโre on the Wheel of fortune...
@NotThatTomGreen The night he joined the Horsemen was one of the greatest heel turns over. But it was the backstage confrontation with Dusty in the heels' dressing room that was the ultimate dagger. Absolutely riveting TV.
Jey Uso crashed out tonight at WWE Live event
Solo then run it back and did YEET with sunglasses ๐ญ
LA Knight and Seth Rollins joined the party at #WWEBogota
