-- Main Event:
- Bo vs. Axel:
So much for an Outcasts reunion.
Fine heat for a filler match.
Bo's growing as a wrestler.
Axel's pretty much always been a solid dude in the ring.
Nice to see Curtis win for once.
- Rusev vs. Cara:
Yeah, no way is Sin Cara winning this.
MACHKA TIME.
Hahahaha Cara trying to slam Rusev.
OH SHIT what a counter to the baseball slide.
I hope Rusev can make it further than being just another big guy. He's done pretty well for himself in the ring.
Cara making the most of his speed and agility.
OH SHIT I didn't expect SC to pick him up for the Olympic Slam.
Sin Cara was pretty game for a match he was all but expected to be killed in.
Good match!
WWE has ended Legends with JBL. It could be they've more or less gone through all the guests they wanted on there.
Chavo Guerrero, Sr. passed away at the age of 68. Unfortunate loss for a legendary family. I enjoyed the Chavo Classic angle, and he had quite the career before that.
- Chavo, Jr. commented on his father's passing. Sad to hear of the quick cancer death. My thoughts are with the family at this time.
- WWE, Triple H, The Iron Sheik, Mick Foley, William Regal, Mauro Ranallo, Samoa Joe, Sean Waltman, Frankie Kazarian, Billy Kidman, Taz, Paul London, JBL, Lince Dorado, Ted DiBiase, Sr.,
Robby Brookside, Rey Mysterio, Dixie Carter, Aiden English, Tommy Dreamer, Sin Cara, Sasha Banks, and Tajiri all expressed condolences.
AJ Styles will be part of WWE's March 12 MSG live event. I'm not sure why he wasn't already advertised for the show; it's a Smackdown brand event.
Mojo Rawley beat Konnor in singles matches at Smackdown live events this weekend. Viktor was in Konnor's corner. Odd they didn't have Jack Swagger or James Ellsworth teaming with him. Neither were on the card.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It looks like they're going to quietly part ways whenever her deal ends, with her moving on to Hollywood and potentially other endeavors. Her current work doesn't conflict with her WWE commitments because WWE doesn't really have any commitments for her. I'm guessing after the suspension and the movie booking the two sides decided she wasn't going to be the WWE character with red hair anymore and now we're just waiting for an official word of her contract ending.
2. We'll see how it plays out. I definitely didn't expect it to be a long-term association. WWE presumably didn't want to burn out them facing each other, so they figured that was the best way to keep them from being opponents for some time.
3. A lot of names work very hard, from the big names taking a lot of matches and appearances to the people on the indie scene working another job while trying to make ends meet. I'll leave it at that.
4. It's tough to say! You have to look at how much classic merchandise they sold, DVDs, etc. as well as making use of various WCW alumni in roles over the years, from the initial angles of the Invasion to keeping guys like Chavo and Johnny Ace around for quite some time later. Overall, they made and are still making money from those assets.
5. He just made a cameo in Memphis and called the Rumble. I expect they'll save him for special occasions on-screen.
More wrestling tomorrow.
