Can a scientist, a magician or someone from 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' please explain how Jake Doyle and Mark Davis have completely different body types yet still, at times, look EXACTLY alike on television?

This is some optical illusion stuff or maybe even voodoo.

My only modern consoles have been Switches since launch, so I haven't played a WWE 2K game in years.

Haven't we had lots of Attitude Era/Monday Night War games before?

Do video game players want this?

Is it because kids play on phones or Roblox, Fortnite online?

Will 2K26 sell?

Based on WWE PLE philosophy, I wonder if Jericho will appear at The #RoyalRumble

He seems like a lock on the surface: Saudi money and he's the last 90s guy.

Other returns (Bianca? Seth?), moments (Brock?) plus Jericho back seems like much more than WWE has done for a modern PLE.

IDK

Does anyone watch The 90 Day The Other Way Tell All or, like me, watch with their spouse?

Was it just me or did these 'couples' do a poor job of keeping kayfabe?

It's amazing.

Everyone who posts a "Greatest Pro Wrestlers of All Time" list has always seen everyone on their list wrestle.

Amazing, isn't it?

I'm so happy to be wrong about #SNME. It was Cody and Jacob Fatu who got the short "match".

Nakamura and AJ got time to have a match and remind the world of who they are.

I'm also happy to see WWE fans enjoy a wrestling clinic between two pros.

So John Cena, WWEs big name and a worldwide star just went out to the ring because he was so touched and fooled by Mark Henry's fake retirement? Nobody told The Champ until he got in the ring?

OK

What's Plan B if Cena stayed backstage? Run and find him? Please.

GTFO w this carny BS

It's over.

Dom Mysterio is The 2026 Wrestler of the Year.

He's won the AAA Mega Title and major titles in WWE and AEW.

THIS is the technology that is wasting energy, driving up rates and burning up earth. All for a program that can't recognize WWE's top competitor's logo. Brilliant!

I'm not sure.

But based on this picture, I think Rolly is graduating from high school this year.

That looks like a senior picture, doesn't it?

Did fans not watch Trick Williams-Matt Cardona on #Smackdown?

I'm not a big Cardona fan, but he ran circles around Trick. Matt showed desire. You could see him trying to win. While Trick showed no focus or passion in his win and entry for a title shot

Hope he whoops that Trick on SNME

Here's today's WOL Saturday.

TNA on AMC, TNA Genesis, Smackdown, Drew, Jacob Fatu and the builds towards The Royal Rumble in Riyadh and Saturday Night's Main Event in Montreal. Plus, AAA, CMLL and Japanese wrestling merch from Tokyo.

Check it out.

What are you talking about?!?

That would NEVER happen.

You know what else? It would doubly never happen with two guys interfering in masks and hoodies from the same wrestling family.

Do you even read what you're typing right now? Preposterous.
yeah but what if a guy in a black hoodie and mask came out and interfered with a match

#Smackdown the past few weeks:

The MFTs stole the lantern from The Wyatt Sicks

Gargano stole Axiom's mask.

Drew McIntyre stole Cody's picture of him and Dusty.

One show. Weeks apart.

On it's own, one thief angle is fine. Three in a row on one show is too much and a lack of communication.

Nobody has WWE production money or know-how.

TNA needs to come up with its own unique, signature look and style.

Don't copy Lucha Underground, design a set with a minimalist modern vibe to match the action and talent. Give TNA on AMC a style all its own.

No more cheap screen and ramp
