Cedric Alexander says he questions if tribalistic fans really love wrestling:
“It makes me question whether you really love wrestling. I love wrestling in all its forms. I watch all the companies and all the talent. I have friends and close acquaintances throughout various promotions, so I keep an eye on everything.
I would never say one company shouldn’t exist because of how I feel about it. Everyone deserves to work. Everyone deserves to find a place that makes them feel comfortable and works for them. TNA has been that place for me. I don’t want TNA to go anywhere. I don’t want WWE to go anywhere. I don’t want AEW, AAA, or MLW to go anywhere because people need places to work and somewhere they can spread their wings. I’m just happy wrestling has so many places to do that.”
When I see tribalism and people saying a company sucks because of this or that, I think: wrestling is thriving as a whole. There was a time, 15 or 20 years ago, when you only had WWE. Then TNA came along, then AEW, and companies like AAA gained more exposure. It’s all working together. If you love wrestling, you’ll watch everything. If you don’t like certain things, that’s fine, but there’s no reason to hate another person because they like what you don’t.”

Charlamagne Tha God says he doesn't think Jay-Z was dissing other artists for clout in his Roots Picnic freestyle, claiming he was simply responding to everyone who has been speaking on his name for years:
"All these individuals that he addressed have been talking about Jay for years on social media, talking about him for years on podcasts, in interviews. Jay hasn't said anything. But, soon as he does, people are like, 'He's using Drake for attention' or 'he's using Nicki for attention.' Like these folks haven't been talking about him forever."

Lesnar-Femi 2 was a fun blitz that reminded me of those Lesnar-Goldberg sprints. We're clearly getting a rubber match but did we really need to fake the retirement to get here?
El Grande Americano just arrived with one of the greatest wrestling entrances of all time for the Mask vs. Mask Match in Mexico.
The biggest babyface in all of Mexico.
PURE GOOSEBUMPS 😭🔥
