10. Vince Russo’s Anti-WWE Rant
We should know better than to feed the troll . . .
But, this is about the most mindless nonsense you are likely to read on the internet today – which is saying something!
WARNING: THIS TWEET IS NOT INTENDED FOR THE MARKS–AND—YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
This Zayn/Owens match carries the same excitement as that of the worst two teams in the XFL playing against each other the last game of the season. Who gives a !@#$%^?!
— Vince Russo (@THEVinceRusso) February 7, 2018
Ignoring the disparaging preface intentionally designed to rile, the content of Russo’s tweet comes across like a bitter, out-of-touch old-timer desperately trying to remain relevant by spouting nonsensical opinions.
Was Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens on SmackDown a great match? Not really, but it was hardly terrible. It was a match designed to further an angle, which is exactly what it did.
Need we remind you that Russo is a man who believes modern wrestling suffers from “too much wrestling” and that in his heyday he would produce parades of tedious 3-minute non-matches on Raw, not to mention endless inane skits and tasteless angles.
9. Trish Stratus Back At WWE
To something more celebratory and fun, courtesy of Trish Stratus, who shared some candid backstage snaps from the Royal Rumble:

Clicking on the gallery opens up a world of behind the scenes fun, including shots of Trish alongside her modern day counterparts, Rumble practice photos and a wonderful shot with Finlay, whose work with the women and Trish in particular helped the division come on leaps and bounds in the pre-Divas era.
The field of the women’s Royal Rumble strike a pose
The photo above is the pick of the bunch, featuring all 30 competitors in the historic women’s Rumble in full gear, posing around the practice ring. I bet the positioning of that shot was a nightmare to get right.
