Before he was an MP, John Major failed to get a job as a bus conductor.

[The Independent @Independent]

Sir John Major throws shade on the new prime minister in waiting. "Mr Burnham has had great success, I'm told, with buses," he says. "A little different from dealing with Xi, Putin, Trump, Macron, Merz."

Danhausen is the American Dream.

(With apologies to Dusty Rhodes)

[Danhausen @DanhausenAD]

5 months ago Danhausen was wrestling for independent wrestling promotions in clubs, bars, halls, gyms, theaters and abandoned buildings (thank you all for giving Danhausen a stage.)

Next month Danhausen will be featured at the Worlds Most Famous Arenahausen.

Thank you @WWE thank you @TheGarden thank you Fanhausens around the world.

Most Americans have probably read at least parts of the Bible already.

The problem is very few understand it at the intellectual level, and even fewer at the spiritual level.

This guy got five years.

The pedophile with the worst child porn ever seen by police gets three.

It’s an utter joke.

You could make a strong argument for Shawn Michaels as a surprise pick.

Even thought it was only 1997/early 98, the original DX set a lot of the tone for what was to come.

Discounting Shawn, I’d probably go for Undertaker.

[Terry Walker @TerribleTerry83]

Who would you put in the third spot as the wrestler who meant the most during the attitude era? I’d say Triple H

Why are TMZ giving this the publicity these people want?

They’re almost certainly all fake and they’re simply encouraging it at this point.

Whether it’s legit or not, pass it quietly to the FBI and get back to talking about Kim Kardashian.

[Breaking911 @Breaking911]

NEW: TMZ has received another email from a person claiming to have knowledge of Nancy Guthrie’s alleged kidnappers. In the latest message, the sender alleges they possess video showing Nancy with the “main guy” on the day she died.

Lesson number 1 of classic pro-wrestling:

Don’t fuck with Gorilla Monsoon

Andre The Giant vs. Chuck Wepner - post match.

After 3 rounds of boxer vs. wrestler, Andre chucks Chuck. Don King’s entourage tries to step in but run into on hell of an enforcer in Gorilla Monsoon. Pandemonium ensues

Rhea Ripley had been Women’s Champion and won the belt at WrestleMania before Judgment Day, and Damien Priest had held the U.S. title for six months.

Amazing for somebody who didn’t know what he had.

[WrestleTalk @WrestleTalk_TV]

Adam Copeland says Vince McMahon was surprised by him choosing WWE's Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley for The Judgment Day, which told him that Vince "didn't realize what he had" in both stars:

“Vince said ‘I want you to start a group, and I want it to be like The Brood.’ And I went ‘Ok, ok.’ So I’m thinking three people and he said ‘Who would that be?’ I was like ‘Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley.’ No hesitation. Those are the two people that could make this a pretty cool group I think.

“He was kind of surprised by that, which made me realize that he didn’t realize what he had in those two, and I thought that was a shame."

The Green Party has some good ideas but this is the kind of stuff that will hurt them

This stuff doesn’t land in Hull. It doesn’t land in Durham. It doesn’t land in Bradford.

There’s no reason not to say women here.

What, so you might offend 5 people who are terminally online?

Two of WWE's longest running character streaks are still alive! 🔥

[Michael East @MichaelEWriter]

See, this is how “journalists” like Meltzer works.

It’s obvious CM Punk would want to show up in Chicago. So you can generate a story from that that sounds plausible without actually needing any inside knowledge.

Throw in a little shit stirring at the end and you have yourself a newsletter.

[Wrestle Features @WrestleFeatures]

Even though CM Punk is earmarked for Smackdown, he was pushing very hard for his return to be on the 7/6 RAW show in Chicago.

His departure was basically to get him ready for moving to Smackdown and eventually a program with Cody Rhodes.

To say there are no issues at all, that wouldn’t be correct. It’s not as bad as some have made it out to be, but it’s not like there aren’t any issues at all.

I guess this is the only gig Jonathan Majors can get now nobody wants to work with him for beating his ex-girlfriend.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

The logline & trailer for Jonathan Majors' new film for The Daily Wire has been revealed:

“When radical Islamic terrorists hijack a liberal college’s pro-Palestine encampment to enforce Sharia law on students, a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard tired of ‘Uncle Tom’ smears & a Delta Force vet must arm up to save their clueless peers & keep America from surrendering to the enemy on its own soil.”

Would you have asked one of the white players this question?

"Yeah, I'm not too interested in that type of conversation." 😬
