Prince

1. THE BOXING INVASION: Vegas Betting Odds (June 4)

The promoters have stopped the legal bickering. The fights are on for June 4th in Las Vegas. The “Sweet Science” is finally meeting the “WWF Giants” under BMF Rules.

Matchup Vegas Odds The “Street” Lean
Prince Naseem vs. Giant Gonzalez Gonzalez (-150) “Naz’s speed is a myth vs. a 7’6″ reach.”
Butterbean vs. Hongman Choi Butterbean (-110) “Bean’s overhand right is the equalizer.”

Note: Butterbean has signed a “Gauntlet Contract.” If he defeats Choi, he is scheduled to fight every single week in June to prove his 90s-peak dominance.

2. HELL IN A CELL: The Rematch of the Century

The Commission’s decision to replace Randy Savage with Mick Foley for the Cell match has sent shockwaves through the “Indie” community.

  • The Decision: Analysts believe the WWF is “protecting” the Savage/DiBiase final. By giving Savage a “bye” to the finals, they ensure a high-revenue technical match for the USA Belt.

  • The Risk: Putting The Undertaker and Mick Foley back in a cage after their May war is being called “medically irresponsible” by Joe Rogan. “You can’t expect Foley’s nervous system to handle another 20-foot drop,” Rogan stated on a recent pirate radio broadcast.

3. THE WCW EXODUS: Goldberg & Scott Hall

The “Mafia” rumors have shifted to the Monday Night War front.

  • Goldberg Negotiations: Word is the WWF is offering Goldberg a record-breaking “Undisputed” contract to jump ship.

  • Scott Hall: “The Bad Guy” has officially entered the WWF. WCW fans are trashing him on IRC channels, claiming he’s “ducking Goldberg” to join the safer WWF environment. Hall’s debut is expected to disrupt the mid-card rankings immediately.

4. THE RETURN OF THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR

In the most “90s-Peak” move possible, the Ultimate Warrior has issued an Open Challenge for June. He claims he’s here to “purify” the federation of the “Street Fighter” influence. Who will step up to the tassels?


The “Insult” Card: The Rock vs. Doink

The Rock is reportedly furious about his June 15th booking against Doink the Clown.

  • The Rock’s Quote: “The Rock didn’t invent the most electrifying move in sports history to entertain a clown. The Rock should be fighting Hogan, not dodging pies.”

  • The WWF Response: “Wait your turn. Andre and the winner of Savage/DiBiase are the priority.”

“TRIPLE H vs X-PAC on June 9? 😱 The Kliq is officially dead! DX is cannibalizing itself. HHH is gonna Pedigree X-Pac into the 19th century. Also, Stone Cold is ‘recovering’? More like he’s hiding because he knows he can’t beat a real warrior like Kurt Angle yet. 🤫”

    “HHH is the Cerebral Assassin, he doesn’t have friends, he has victims. And shut up about Austin. He took 20 minutes of McMahon’s ‘Genetic Power’ and still won. Let him rest his neck before he Stunners your boy Savage in the finals.”

“Randy Savage gets a free pass to the finals while Foley and Taker kill each other in a cage? THE MAFIA IS REAL. 🕵️‍♂️ They want a ‘safe’ 90s legend like Savage or DiBiase holding the USA belt because they’re terrified of Ryu or Ken showing up and taking it. #JusticeForFoley”

    “Savage is the GOAT. He doesn’t need a ‘bye’ to win, but he earned it by being the most dependable draw in history. You ‘Street Fighter’ kids are just mad because your hobo hero isn’t on the June poster. Go back to your dirt pits.”

Ken Shamrock in the Hell in a Cell undercard??? If he fights a ‘Real’ wrestler, it’s over. Shamrock has been training in the UFC pits. If he gets a leg-lock on someone in June, they aren’t walking until August. 🦶🔒
