6 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Oct 20)
Special Maharadgie Double Feature.
It was a weird week on the wrestling fringe.
Billy Corgan, the proud new owner of the National Wrestling Alliance brand, exposed himself as a lizard people conspiracy theorist on a recent Howard Stern Show appearance. “Not to add to the conspiracy,” he said, adding to the conspiracy. “But I have had paranormal experiences in my life that sorta lend itself to that category. Let’s just say I was with somebody once and I saw a transformation that I can’t explain.”
Was he in attendance for Clash of the Champions XVII, at which Ricky Steamboat trundled to the ring in a gigantic reptile mask - or has the man simply taken a considerable amount of psychedelic drugs in his past life as a rock star?
Yip yip yip, what Ryback do? Expose himself as a sexist on a near-fortnightly basis. He suggested on his schadenfreude goldmine of a podcast this week that he would not date a female wrestling fan because they have “mental issues”. This coming from a guy even more deluded than Billy Jack Haynes and Paul Roma at a flat-earther convention, with Vampiro taking the meeting minutes.
It was weirder still in the mainstream…
6. Ped-no Morales
According to several reputable sources, several performers hold an interest in following Neville out of the exit door - not really surprising when one of the least over and talented wrestlers on the roster is going to hold the WWE Championship until we all give up, strip naked, and burn our WWE membership cards in a w*nky video.
Nia Jax has been granted a leave of absence. It’s almost as if receiving a push, a demotion, a push, a demotion, another push and another demotion is like going on a sh*tty merry-go-round in a fairground operated by an out-of-touch carny who miraculously hasn’t instructed the commentary team to berate her for being fat yet.
Jax is purportedly frustrated at not being granted the opportunity to get squashed by Asuka at TLC. She is also miffed at the abandonment of her months-teased split with Alexa Bliss, which is fair enough. The return to bodyguard duties paints her as subservient when she’s meant to be this gigantic destroyer. Jax joins Neville and apparently several others who wish to leave WWE and have reached out to Cody Rhodes for help in their mission. WWE isn’t a meritocracy, and it’s no longer the only economically viable promotion in which to work. The times, they are a-changin’.
In a curious coincidence, a scandalous interview this week unravelled the level playing field yet further…
