- Well, seven years of chants led to last night and got it done! CM Punk is back in professional wrestling with All Elite Wrestling. He will fight Darby Allin at the next pay-per-view.
- Much to his personal character, he had boxes and boxes of ice cream bars sent to the United Center -- and gave everyone in attendance he could one on the way out the door.
- Oregon and Oregon State will require either a negative COVID test or a vaccination to attend games this year.
- You can add Hillary Duff to the breakthrough COVID-positive list.
- You know it's getting bad when Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger is actually a voice of reason on this COVID stuff. Saying no less than "screw your freedoms"... And advising Gavin Newsom on his COVID-led Republican-led recall...
- TWENTY... THREE... THOUSAND... students and staff in the Atlanta area have to quarantine due to either getting COVID or contact tracing.
- One of the counties in Georgia is shutting down for two weeks and going back to online instruction... As should everyone else...
- Rev. Jesse Jackson and his wife are both in the hospital due to COVID.
- 1/4 of all the new Florida COVID cases are school-age children!
- And on a bit of an older scale: A Florida mother (60-something) lost two sons within 12 hours (35 and 42) to COVID.
- Phil Valentine is a conservative radio host from Tennessee. Contracted COVID -- before too long after, he asked his viewers to consider whether they would be a serious risk of death by COVID. If so, get vaccinated. If not, don't. He didn't. Died today of COVID, age 61.
- Coach K's summer camp may have had a (non-COVID) bacterial infection this summer -- they're looking into it.
- Giannis "The Greek Freak" Antetokounmpo (and it took me three tries to get that spelling right) has just purchased an ownership stake in the Milwaukee Brewers.
- Pro Football Talk admits that, to really combat taunting, the league needs a TMO sky judge. And they're RIGHT!!!
- *facepalm*
- After Sasha Banks' COVID withdrawl from SummerSlam, they tried to give the crowd Carmella for about two minutes before Becky Lynch finally returns for her first match in a year and a half after the birth of her first child.
- And she wins the Smackdown women's title in TWENTY SECONDS. Fakeout handshake, elbow to the head, specialty slam, match over.
- State-of-the-art Allegiant Stadium is not ready for prime time. About halfway through SummerSlam:
- Toilets overflowing
- WiFi is out
- The cashless payment system is down
- Meaning no concessions at all, as Allegiant is the first stadium in the world completely cashless. (There may be some attempt at cash transactions...)
- No pyro...
Ticking... time bomb...
- Shit might've just gotten serious. Unconfirmed reports of a nationwide outage of Visa credit cards throughout the United States in the last 20 minutes.
