WWE: Lio Rush Responds, Kane Bullet Club Shirt (?), UK Ticket Sales

Lio Rush

Lio Rush posted on Twitter for the first time since the Emma joke debacle where a bunch of people flipped out after Rush posted a poorly-timed and probably tone deaf joke. A lot of shitty people on Twitter apparently thought he deserved to be fired for that. Luckily, he’s still with the company (which is good because he rules in the ring) but will likely have to work to get some of the heat off of him.


Kane’s Mayoral Campaign Shirts

Glenn “Kane” Jacobs is releasing two wrestling-themed shirts for his mayoral campaign. One is based on the old Raw is War logo and another is strangely based on the Bullet Club shirt.

The Republican primary for the Knox County, TN mayor seat is in May 2018 and the winner of that will very likely become the mayor since Knox County overwhelmingly votes Republican.


Raw and SmackDown Sell Out in UK

This week’s Raw and SmackDown in Manchester, England are both sold out. They’ll both take place at the Manchester Arena, which seats about 14,000 for WWE shows. WWE attendance for Raw and SmackDown in the United States has been well below normal for the past few months, according to Dave Meltzer, but shows on WWE’s European tour appear to be doing well. The fact that they aren’t there as often obviously is a big reason.
