Shawn Michaels absolutely launched himself after taking Sweet Chin Music from Hulk Hogan at SummerSlam 2005. The match itself is remembered for plenty of reasons, but HBK's selling here is still hilarious almost 20 years later.

Stop, guys. I get it, I really do. It’s tough to accept, but we all have to. He’s retired. It’s time to face it. Brock “The Beast” Lesnar has finally retired. Period.

I feel sorry seeing the onslaught of posts everywhere, people holding onto hope or trying to twist the narrative.

Here’s what really happened: the man took off his ring gear, waved to the fans, soaked in their adulation, even shook a few hands on his way out, which is uncharacteristic of him, hugged Heyman with tears in his eyes, gave one last wave to the crowd, and then walked away calmly.

This is exactly how Brock would have retired, if he weren’t already retired. He’s done his job and paved the way for a new dominant young beast in Oba Femi, and it’s exactly how he would have wanted to go out. This is a perfect chapter to end his story on. It doesn’t need to change at all.

Let it sink in. The Beast’s career is over.

I feel like there was a better way to set the ladder up where it's not 10 feet away from the case and he still climbs it

Was it because of the timing (pandemic), the Nigerian accent, Vince's booking at the time, or simply the aura?

Objectively, the man pictured above is the one and only member Rikishi's Bloodline that isn't a complete nepobaby.

He actually had to work to get to where he is, and overcome things in his life. He didn't go directly from the college gridiron to a push on the main roster or NXT, he actually struggled and took time to arrive, and conveniently, him and Solo are the only members of that family I actually like, let alone tolerate.

I mean usually when guys get over organically, their hype dies down after a few months to a year. It’s been over 3 YEARS with LA Knight and they still haven’t pulled the trigger.

In my opinion, he has the look of a star. He has natural charisma and is good on the mic. I think his entrance is a lot better than most people on the main roster yet he there’s literally crickets whenever he makes his entrance since being called up.

I do personally believe his debut played a part like man, having him lose to an injured Cody was just baffling. Like why should people who don’t watch NXT care for this guy who can’t beat someone who wasn’t fully fit to compete?

What do ya’ll think and how do you think they can turn it around?

From the type of reaction she gets consistently, I have been wondering about this. I know Sable, Trish and AJ were over but I never really got watch Sunny so I am curious to know.

Wrestling fans always NEED their theory to be right, if not it’s ruined for them.

Matches and PPVs are never good enough for people. People cannot just sit down and watch wrestling to enjoy, they always need a voice to criticize like they are BETTER WRITERS.

The days of just enjoying something is lost, something needs to be always negative. Just sit down and enjoy your time watching

They definitely made the best of the situation by using Undertaker, so it worked out great in the end. But my god…the glass shattering would have been the biggest pop in wrestling history.

I’ve been a fan of Sol Ruca for a while now, her finisher is just sooooo sick! But after that Royal Rumble performance, I seriously think she’s one of the best women wrestlers in the world. Obviously not #1, (Iyo Sky clears everyone) but I think she’s might be top 10, if not even top 5

I think personally it will be Cody, I don’t really want that to be the case but I think it’s most likely

Would love to hear y'all's thoughts on this take.

I was in the kitchen getting food ready during the opening match and was caught off guard when I heard Saxton's voice on the mic announcing L.A. Knight on the way to the ring. They should seriously consider useing him more often, he sounded great.

Jokes aside really quick Gable was good as E.G.A but Ludwig Kaiser has taken this character and brought it to new heights.

The crowd loves this man as Americano especially the Mexican crowd. You can’t tell me he isn’t super over.

And yes i know people want Kaiser to find success on his own but IMHO this is the right direction for him for the time being.

As we know green shirt guy a well known fan. Famous for his green smiley shirt, he’s at damn near every event, and is one of the WWE’s most iconic fans arguably the greatest (a close competitor is likely the undertaker guy and the sad Randy girl). But I’ve always wondered where this deity spawned from and when was he recorded to ever be noticed. Another thing I wanna know is, what’s he like? If you’ve interacted with him or heard stories let me know. I’m truly just stunned behind how no one as far to my knowledge has wondered this. Who is he? Is he a god perhaps?

His criticisms after watching RAW last week and doing some research:

1. They don't do enough house shows and because of it, the wrestling isn't as good - "you don't get better as a wrestler by not wrestling"

2. There's a lack of camaraderie because wrestlers aren't on the road together

3. Every match in WWE looks like a dance instead of a fight.

4. Wrestlers have forgotten how to call matches in the ring.

5. The product as a whole is too expensive

6. Too many ads - "It was painful to get through an episode of Raw"

Remember when every WWE PPV had a unique stage design that matched the vibe of the event? Now it’s just the same LED screens with different graphics. It feels like they’ve lost that creative spark that made each show feel special.

It’s such a small detail, but it used to add so much hype and identity to each event. Now everything looks copy-pasted. Anyone else miss the days of elaborate sets like Backlash’s swinging hooks or the old Armageddon entrances?
