My friend just texted me that he received a survey from WWE asking him which pop culture figures he'd like to see show up on WWE programming. The suggestions were Chris Pratt, Mario Lopez (already been on WWE TV albeit it was so long ago that I believe it was one of the early episodes of Sunday Night Heat), Megan Thee Stalion, Steve O (Again already been on WWE TV albeit decades ago), Martin Kove (where you at, @BUTT ?), some online influencers we hadn't heard of, and QUENTIN TARANTINO!

Imagine how awesome/weird QT in WWE would be! We'd get @Incandenza watching WWE for the first time in 20 years probably.

Naturally he would be immediately programmed with Riddle.

QT would just be at ringside for the women's matches, peering over the apron...

Lashley needs to show up to try and win her back only to be booted from the house by the other castmates.

Are any of the Fall Out Boy or My Chemical Romance guys washed up enough to be on the next Rock Of Love? Maybe get a washed up wrestler looking for love instead.

 

[King Kamala]

It's too bad NASH is a married man cause he'd be my pick.

Please. JA RULE is right there for the job my dude.

I’m a good man CJ!

Bill Hader was a production assistant on the Surreal Life and I can remember him saying how sad and pathetic the set was.

Corey Feldman cussed him out once

I hope MC Hammer and Deion Sanders show up at Full Gear to perform "Straight to My Feet" as Bryan Danielson shows off his surprisingly nimble dance moves.

Hearing Conrad and Bruce talk about the “Boar on the floor” episode of Succession on a recent STWW was a real weird merging of my interests. Disturbing to think Bruce probably thinks the show is a relatable slice of life workplace comedy.

And hopefully not the last.

The divas locker room COULD have gone to the moon had they talked to the big Val Bowski. He had the rocket, they just needed the desire to ride.

@909 wasn’t able to be at Bloodsport last night but DANZIG was.

Hope KOAB was able to make it to Bloodsport last night at least now.

Drew McIntyre Wants Willie Nelson To Sing 'Broken Dreams' As He Enters SummerSlam 2022 In Nashville | Fightful News

Drew McIntyre wants a country rendition of his old theme sung by Willie Nelson at WWE SummerSlam.

www.fightful.com

Please please please make 89 year old Willie Nelson speak warbling "Broken Dreams" happen, Vince. It would start next boom period.

 

[Hawk 34]

All he has to do is the Dusty and show up at Willies hotel wearing a cowboy hat, boots and nothing else.

Scott Steiner crashed the stage and hoisted Shirley Manson on his shoulders during a Garbage concert in 2002.

 

[Lazgistics Supervisor]

Lucky, lucky man

 

[King Kamala]

Good thing the HORNY JAIL is shuttered cause I've spent all day wondering whether Big Poppa Pump got to piss on Shirley Manson.

I'm only happy when it rains, indeed.

 

[Dandy]

You know he kept her in that position backstage and spun her around. Then promoed everyone about it.

 

[Lazgistics Supervisor]

..."Push It"...

 

[King Kamala]

yeah going to AEW would be great for Sami but staying in WWE would give him more opportunities to be yelled at by ‘90s pop icons.

Glad Mariah Carey and @cobainwasmurdered have something in common.

 

[Valeyard]

Even she knows the heat he'd get for coming out to "All I Want For Christmas Is You" for just one night.
