April 3, 2023 News and Notes

  • The new era of WWE begins with the "new wrestling fiscal year" tonight.  Endeavor, the parent company of UFC, announced the purchase of WWE this morning and will merge the two companies.
  • It will, in fact, be a full merger of the two companies, operating under the same umbrella.  Oof.  This could be very interesting, and NOT in a good way.  We know, from history in Japan, that a soft-merger of puroresu and MMA has been attempted by no less than the likes of Antonio Inoki -- and all of the other possibilities as well...   
  • The CEO of Endeavor has said Vince McMahon is part of the deal.  Yeah, OF COURSE HE FUCKING IS!  So he's right next to that other fucking crook, Dana White!!   
  • Want more evidence the pitch clock is working as Manfred intended?  A Saturday night game between Cleveland and Seattle was completed in just 123 minutes.  Two hours and three minutes.
  • Anthony Rendon of the Angels has been banned four games after negotiations between the league and the Players' Association for an altercation with a fan.
