You ever read "Those Who Walk Away From Omelas?"

It describes Riley's cosmic purpose.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

I'm impressed that Riley has taken time out from his busy wrestlemania schedule of falling asleep on public sofas and annoying JR to tweet his wisdom to the masses.

Alex Riley: signed with the company in October 2007. Still not prime time material.

Other people who wrestled on Riley's debut show: Heath Slater, Fandango, Brie Bella, Kofi Kingston, Sheamus, Alicia Fox, Tyson Kidd, Jack Swagger, Dolph Ziggler (also Ezekiel Jackson, Chet the Jett, Hade Vansen, Kizarny, and Justin Gabriel) I would kind of be bitter too if you've been around as long as those people and you've accomplished so little.

Yeah it was a weird kind of ambiguous tweet too.

They were doing the same thing with TNA, I think they're just trying to cast a wide a net as possible to get US booking at the moment.

I don't believe he'd openly complain on twitter about the performance center meaning nothing, though.

Yes, you could say "well Riley's not that bright" but if this wasn't at least a little bit of a work (or a work based off a shoot), he'd be fired by now.

He's been complaining about Nakamura being on the show since the announcement last month, specifically because he was signed and then just did a segment and boom, he had a big match on a big show. It was that easy for Nakamura. Which Riley thinks is genuinely unfair, mostly because he can't get a match that same show, which is more because Riley loving sucks and nobody wants to see him period

He's had the same thoughts publicly ever since Finn was signed and immediately became a bigger deal than him. It happened with Itami too, but that was brushed aside quick because Itami did nothing and then got hurt. And again, it's because all those people are better and more liked than Riley. Alex has no positives compared to them, including fans wanting to see him ever.

I don't think that equates to job security much, though.

Again, I'm not saying I know what the gently caress I'm talking about. In fact, I'm a giant idiot 99.9% of the time. But openly dissing the development league that Triple H is in charge of should get him fired and since it hasn't yet, I'm going to assume it's the start of a work.

But again, I must stress I'm really stupid and only graduated college because I was a film major.

On one hand, this may seem like preferential treatment and it's a valid concern for him to have.
On the other:
1. Nakamura is one of the very best wrestlers on the face of planet earth, has been for a long time and probably will be until he retires.
2. Riley sucks.
3. Nakamura could beat him up.

I said it before, just as JBL is Announce desk Vince, Riley is twitter Vince.
