5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (March 2)

1. What A Meme

Stephanie Selling

Those critical of Ronda Rousey's WWE introduction conveniently drop from their narrative that it has yielded the greatest photograph in known history, one absolutely perfect for repurposing as a meme. There is something so endearingly innocent about Kurt Angle's face here, cloaked in pure relief. It's almost tragic how unaware he is that the hammer blow of the Authority is a millisecond away from shattering his dreams. And face.

There is much wrestling-related text you can place below their respective faces.

'The blissful notion that WWE is finally doing something with Shinsuke Nakamura...'

'...The realisation that WWE is doing nothing with Shinsuke Nakamura.'

'Knowing that Stephanie McMahon sold this week, and all is right with the world...'

'...Knowing she'll get some offence in at 'Mania, which is so f*cking absurd.'

'The idea that Women's wrestling is finally being taken seriously as a legitimate sporting endeavour...'

'...Roman Reigns using the word "B*tch!' as a slur on RAW.'

'Jeff Jarrett finally getting recognition for a fine run in the Hall of Fame...'

'...The knowledge that the Hall of Fame means nothing.'

'Knowing Triple H isn't going to wrestle a 30 minute match at 'Mania this year...'

'...Knowing that he is RONDA ROUSEY'S first 'Mania opponent.'
