- Yesterday on Twitter, Glenn Gilbertti (aka Disco Inferno) commented on today's wrestlers by saying they don't know how to "work anymore" after seeing Will Ospreay take a tough bump on the apron and Cody Rhodes get a nasty cut above his eye during this weekend's NJPW Sakura Genesis show. Rhodes was made aware of Gilbertti's comments and had quite the response to the former WCW talent. "Stop. You know nothing. You have drawn 0 dollars. No fan has ever left a show thinking about you. You were lucky to be a juiced up double-lifer "over with the boys" type in an era where you hid in plain sight coasting on others' success. Couldn't hang then, can't get booked now."
