The WWE merger trial has been cancelled, Court Administrator for the Delaware Court of Chancery Tamara Burton confirmed to me this evening.

We haven’t confirmed whether a settlement has been agreed to or is being worked on.

The trial was previously scheduled to start on Monday.

Thanks for paying five figures for your playoff ticket, bandwagon jumper, but don’t even think about getting bringing in a coin purse. 😂

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just passed the White House and:

1) they have a lot of port-a-potties closer to Constitution Ave
2) Tall fencing around the grounds
3) The actual area’s closer to where the tree lighting is

Here are some photos from the EEOB side.

True story: I told my therapist what‘a happened in my life since we last met, and they paused for about 15 seconds and said, “I don’t even know what to say.” 😂

“AI threats don’t quit. Neither does John Cena.”

HOWLING. Easily six-figure speech in speaker’s fees, not even counting transportation and lodging.

Evergreen tweet

[Dave Meltzer @davemeltzerWON]

I swear, New Japan could be sold, a giant wrestling war could be coming, an amazing human interest story could be happening, the most powerful person in wrestling history and perhaps the most powerful today could both be in court for alleged misdeeds, but none of that matters today because people literally lose their minds on star ratings of matches. And the one every should see as far as future evolution is the one not being talked about.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Scott Pelley

Andrew Painter (6'7") vs. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (5'10") get the same extension...

Despite a massive height difference.

Brandon Thurston challenged TKO, WWE et al on their overly redacted court filings. The judge ruled in his favor. This is one of the most inspirational events in wrestling media. It doesn't have to be just show reviews and content creation. One reporter can make a difference.
