Now Corey Graves is a man who clearly knows his job is as safe as the proverbial houses, if his array of tongue in cheek comments are anything to go by. Generally speaking, the commentary over WrestleMania weekend was absolute shash, but as ever, Graves maintained his standard of not complete sh*t (it's all relative), and it continued into SmackDown with some sharp barbs.

When he wasn't making subtle reference to Session Moth Martina in confusing the identity of The IIconics locally sourced opponents, Graves was taking aim at his own employer's spiteful practices. Plugging the impending Superstar Shake-Up, Corey lamented that Rusev and Lana could end up on different brands. "Think what that could do to their marriage!" he quipped. Given the company's peculiar history of separating love-doves on their payroll, there's no way this comment wasn't said with meaning.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
