Tatum has had the better call-up than Sol

I'm a huge Tatum fan than a Sol fan so I may be biased in saying this, but I think Tatum has been much more impressive than Sol these past few months since their call-up, both from an in-ring standpoint & character work.

Watched her Triple Threat on SmackDown the other day against Candice & Tiff. I knew Tatum was good but oh man Tatum is so impressively crisp in her moveset and held her own against two vets in Candice & Tiff.

Whereas Sol may have had the bigger hype coming in (which may have added more pressure on her) and got the IC title win, but I felt she's a bit lackluster and besides being incredibly athletic, I'm not really drawn to her character.

Curious what everyone else thinks, has Tatum impressed you more than Sol since the call-up, or do you think Sol has actually had the stronger run so far?

The Rock Responds to Dave Meltzer’s Report

Dave Meltzer reported that some in WWE were reportedly surprised by The Rock’s wording when praising AEW in his tribute video to PAC:

“Rock and Nick Khan are close. I do not believe that has changed. Were there people in WWE who were very surprised at his wording and what he said, especially with him being on the TKO board of directors? Yes, okay. They were very surprised. Nick may not have been. He may have told Nick ahead of time. Maybe he didn’t. He can do whatever he wants.

Not that he did the video, but the wording in the video, where he praised them and essentially gave the stamp of, ‘Yeah, you guys are good for business and work hard, and you’re helping make wrestling.’

That’s not the message I think the company wants out. No one’s going to be mad at him doing the video, but the wording, people brought it up to me.”

- Dave Meltzer
(WOR | @WONF4W)

The Rock responded to the Dave Meltzer report that WWE were “very surprised” by the video about Pac:

“you're right brother, and humanity matters to me. I was born into this business and I've seen it all, but when one of our own passes away, I don't care nor do I see "our competition"
, I care about the wrestlers and
how it affects them. I've been there. To me, humanity matters most.”

Calling it now, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton are in cahoots

It just feels too intentional to me. You don’t wear an RKO jacket for nothing and Randy’s interference at that MITB qualifying match felt more than just not letting Cody get a chance at the WWE title.

29 Years Ago, Kane Debuted. His Legacy is One of the Most Unique in WWE History.

https://preview.redd.it/ehzh3gje2oth1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=072121b8fa71164d34e790113a157eff315bd136

Twenty-nine years ago at Bad Blood, in the first-ever Hell in a Cell match between Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, Kane debuted, tombstoned Taker, and shook the fabric of the WWE universe. It remains arguably the coolest debut in WWE history, in one of the best matches in WWE history.

So much worked, chief among them the look. Somehow, WWE had surpassed even Taker in terms of presentation, and produced one of the most iconic wrestling characters in history in his brother Kane.

Naturally, the two feuded until Mania, where Kane became the first man to kick out of the Tombstone. But he still lost, and lost again at an Inferno Match where he was lit on fire.

The original idea was for it to end there, as Kane was another "monster of the week" who Taker would defeat and move on. But the character was so over, and Kane played it all so well, he stayed on. And on. And on.

To the point where he now holds the record for most matches in WWE history at over 3,000, with a winning percentage of 51.9%. Not too shabby for what was supposed to be a one-off.

Along the way, Kane lost his mask, regained it, and lost it again. He also was a two-time champion, once for a day in 1998 and then for 154 days in 2010. He was never the face of the company, but perpetually wrestled in the upper-mid-card.

His legacy? An unusual one. The debut remains iconic. After 20+ years in the WWE though, much of the intrigue around the character wore off. Instead he became a consistently solid, incredibly safe worker who could be slot into any spot in the card.

It's paradoxical, to start like a nuclear bomb, and then stick around for so long for being so damn reliable. It's like dating an edgy rebound, only for you to spend 20 years with them because they are an amazing listener and make an unforgettable beef stew.

What's Kane's best match? Your favorite memory?

Former Spike TV boss Kevin Kay on his dealings with Vince McMahon: “The first time I met Vince, he was in the men's room at the very end, urinating. He finishes, zips up his pants, walks straight at me and puts out his hand. It was a total power move, I shook his hand. What are you gonna do?"
