A day or so after allegations of racism and bullying by Tessa have come forth no less. https://lastwordonprowrestling.com/2020/01/12/tessa-blanchard-lallegations/

I stand corrected.

Unless I'm mistaken it's the first story arc in the New Mutants comic: The Demon Bear Saga.

It just seems to me like they put all the effort into casting the female characters, minus Dr. Reyes, then just didn't bother when it came to the guys.

Perhaps they have secondary mutations that drain the melanin from their skins? 🙄

Only if you ignore every other appearance of the character where he's a very dark skinned Latino gentleman, sure. His origin in the comics even involves him being attacked by a racist BECAUSE of his dark skin so no, the white guy they hired to play him does not match up to him pretty well at all.

You and me both. I admit I used to be a fan of Lesnar during his first WWE run. These days however, not so much.

Given that in the comics Roberto is a very dark skinned Latino male and the actor they cast to play him could pass as a white guy, no I'm not joking.

You mean, when she actually joined the New Mutants team? 'Cause she joined the New Mutants after being rescued from Belasco.

Illyana, Rahne and Dani look more or less spot on, particularly Illyana. The boy playing Sam, not quite as much. The guy playing Roberto is, as I'm sure you've all guessed by now, way WAY off.

Can't disagree with you there. I'm sure some of them would be quite happy to actually be wrestling again.

So Luke Harper and Sin Cara have been let go by WWE today. Folks are already wondering if there's more to come.

I saw this on Turner Classic Movies a little while ago. Absolutely adored it.

Oh, that makes more sense.

Actually, the Queen in Snow White came first.

You never realize how dim some WWE fans are, until you hear one declaring with complete sincerity that Vince's inability to effectively book talent coming out of NXT is the fault of NXT. 😑

And there was a disqualification in a friggin' Hell in a Cell match.

This:

Heard they got the title back. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns into a storyline though.

If memory serves I found my copy on Amazon. Reasonably priced too.

Escape to Witch Mountain by Alexander Key. Surprisingly the Disney adaption was pretty faithful to the book in many ways with the big changes being the addition of the flying car scene at the end of the movie and the addition of Aristotle Bolt. If you can track down a copy I highly recommend it.

The On The Run series by Gordon Korman. It's about a brother and sister who escape from a juvenile detention facility in order to clear the names of their parents, who've been falsely convicted of treason. They have to find a man named Frank Lindenauer who had recruited their parents into what they were told was a CIA operation to battle terrorism and his disappearance caused the Falconer parents' conviction. On top of all that they have to avoid being caught by the FBI or being killed by the mysterious assassin called (by the kids) Hairless Joe.

True, though from all accounts the booking of the Kofi/Orton match was beyond stupid. Orton really ought to have jobbed clean to Kofi.

Well credit where it's due, WWE booking actually did the smart thing and gave the Universal Title to Seth Rollins.

Well with the big read belt gone, at least the company can focus on the belt that's actually important to the company: The World Title that Kofi Kingston is holding. After all it's only the belt that's been the top prize in the company since the 1960's.
