Funny timing for another WWE tie in on Young Rock.

This episode dealt with Rockys time in Memphis working for Lawlers promotion. The standout guy in the company was some guy named Crusher Yurkov.

From what I read online, it does sound like more revisionist history, but the show talked about how Vince didn't like that name. And Rockys advice to Crusher was to trust Vince on the change. He'd go on to become Bam Bam Bigelow.

Like I said, revisionist history as I believe he used that name before joining WWF, but it was funny timing having that on a show filmed months ago, given all the name changes we're seeing now. You get to see a guy attached to his name and how he reacts, even back then, and the advice given about how he should trust Vince on the change.

Not saying it's always good. I mean nobody really likes Doudrop and some other names either. But interesting regardless.

None of this surprises me if it's true, unfortunately.

Wow.... we know there are a ton of creative issues but reading what Ember said, no wonder why they are re-writing shows at the last second. I'm sorry but the RAW & Smackdown writers saying they don't know what's going on in NXT.... no wonder why the NXT Callups failed. The disconnect between the brand and it seems Hunter's health issues were seen as a way to get rid of his talent, damn that's horrible to read.

My thing is all this stuff is pretty obvious if you've noticed who they've released, who they've been pushing and the fact that NXT has shifted back to a "true" developmental show.

It sucks for folks like Ember - who had a legitimate opportunity to help WWE's programming "improve" - but the reality is they've gone to a younger, "sexier" and greener talent pool.

That really sucks for her. Best finisher in the company. But yeah that all lines up with the philosophy shift for NXT back to a more developmental focused brand. A lot of those veterans got cut.

Is she out from under her contract yet? I feel like she could help out AEW’s womens division a lot.

Not surprised, but still bad to read.

You always think/hope after WWE gets rid of toxic people that this would be the end, but you always find more coming up again.

Even in this current era, you still have people fixated on some old school mentality on women in wrestling and what they should or shouldn't do or look like?

And then for NXT, not that it's a shocker, but how can a company actually have people who has no idea what's going on in developmental? Imagine calling up some guy from AAA and your coaching staff is like "ok cool.......who is he? I put him in CF...I never knew he was a pitcher."

I think I got a similar survey not too long ago. I hadn’t really watched WWE with any regularity in years, but I went to the HOF in Dallas, and must have signed up for something giving out my email.

I kinda laughed to myself, because most of my answers were like “not interested”. It seemed like it was quite a lengthy survey, if I remember correctly.
