In this interview Daniel Bryan talks about balancing his WWE job and his home life: "One of the pluses of my life is that I get to do this thing that I love and then when I come home, I don't have to do anything else. When I get home, I'm just home and I can be fully present with my kids. The hard part is coming home and having energy on a day like Saturday where she's going to want her Daddy to have maximum energy for her (birthday) party. This morning, she was helping me set up the sprinklers for the first time, so that we can appropriately water the plants that we planted yesterday. It was harder before the pandemic, when you were doing all these un-televised live events, and also my wife was super busy because she owns three companies and does a reality show. Since the pandemic, the actual work/home balance has been much easier. There are so many negatives about the pandemic, but when you try to look for the positives, that's one of them."

Mr. Riddle proposes the following discovery plan:

(a) Electronically stored information (“ESI”) will be furnished in PDF or .TIFF format, unless another format is otherwise agreed upon. Prior to conducting any ESI discovery, the parties shall meet and confer on a list of custodians and search terms.

(b) The parties will seek, prior to the production of any documents, a protective order limiting the use of certain documents produced in connection with the litigation of the instant case, and mandating that each party will destroy all documents produced to it by the opposing party following the final appeal of the instant case.

(c) The parties will make all initial disclosures within 30 days of the Joint Status or by May 21, 2021.

(d) The parties do not currently anticipate calling any expert witness in this matter, but reserve the right to do so.

(e) Physical or mental examinations of any party whose mental or physical condition is in controversy are not anticipated.

(f) All discovery will be completed by December 31, 2021. Any written interrogatories or requests for production shall be served no later than thirty (30) days before the discovery cut-off, a date that allows the served parties the full thirty (30) days as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in which to answer or produce by the discovery cut-off date. This does not limit the parties' ability to demand that the other side fully respond to disputed discovery requests.

(g) No other matter is pertinent to the completion of discovery at this time.

From WWE: "If you're up for a pair of edge-of-your-seat tag team matches, don't even think about missing this week's edition of 205 Live, which will play host to Jake Atlas and August Grey battling The Bollywood Boyz, as well as Ever-Rise tangling with Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari. Throughout several battles both as tag team partners and as opponents over the past few months, Jake Atlas and August Grey have seemingly built a healthy respect for one another. And though they may seem like a bit of an odd pairing, sound teamwork will be a must when they join forces for a tag team bout against 205 Live veterans The Bollywood Boyz. In recent weeks, Daivari has been hellbent on convincing Grey to embrace underhanded tactics, but he and Tony Nese will need to focus on the task at hand when they collide with Ever-Rise. In fact, just last month, Chase Parker teamed up with Sunil Singh in the latest iteration of 'Bolly-Rise' and scored a tag team victory against The Premier Athlete and The Persian Lion. Can Parker and Matt Martel pull off another win against The 205 Live OGs? Will 'Bolly-Rise' will earn the clean sweep tonight in their two matches? Tune in for 205 Live this Friday at 10/9 C, streaming on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!"

Boring Corbin can't wait to heel it up in front of live fans again. I can.
