It's hard to feel that sympathetic for EC3's tweet. I don't doubt the talent tries, but there's clearly no developmental, the writing is terrible, the agents are terrible, and absolutely nobody left has any kind of drawing power save maayyyyyyyyybe Lashley, and they've done their damndest to kill that.

lovely green font you can't read over most of the pictures, and default to the "show everyone who's ever been in this dogshit promotion" page so you don't immediately realize how poo poo the current roster really is

E: I have honest to god never loving heard of half of the current "stars" or knockouts.

Fair point, and I guess I should expand on this.

Is there anything they're doing to try to make any of those people actual names, or are they still sticking to the "push the gently caress out of all the WWE rejects" thing?

E: for further context I don't have POP TV so i'm basing most of this on what i see/hear from outside, but it sounds like I haven't missed all that much.

Retired and working for WWE. It defaults to include the alumni, Kevin Nash, Luke Gallows, Samoa Joe and The Young Bucks are all in there mixed up with all the current talent in no particular order.

Sienna - Allysin Kay of SHINE and SHIMMER fame. Very good. Should be in NXT.
McKenzie,
Brandi Rhodes - Cody's shouldn't be wrestling wife.
Rosemary - another SHIMMER alum, can't remember her real name off the top of my head
Laurel Van Ness - Canadian Tough Enough contestant.
Allie - Cherry Bomb of SHIMMER and SHINE fame
Eli Drake - some dork
Braxton Sutter - Pepper Parks of CZW fame, IRL husband to Allie
Caleb Konley - indie dude, Gabe really wanted this guy
Marche Rocket - Chicago Indie, best remembered being part of the Trios team that Chikara fans really dug.
Luster The Legend,
Adam Thornstowe,
Andrew Everett - The dude you always saw get pinned in Trevor Lee matches.

Braxton Sutter was Pepper Parks on the indies

Eli Drake was a performance center guy who got released and is the "Dummy Yeah" button guy

Rosemary is the clown chick in The Decay

Andrew Everett is I'm his early 20s, but was trained by the Hardys. His dad was one of the money marks for OMEGA.

Thornestowne and Luster the Legend are the two halves of Reno Scum

I can probably nail some more later.

Yes. By a quarter of the way through the show I was literally daydreaming about causing Josh Mathews physical pain. I mean Borash was bad but Mathews was the real poo poo catalyst (which is a great punk band name btw). Pope seemed like he was legitimately miserable.

Has JB ever been on commentary until this point? To my knowledge he's always been a backstage guy or ring announcer when needed.

I want to say he filled in on commentary when Taz was dropped after the Aces&Eights angle died. He definitely had a couple single episodes over the years where he would fill in for Don West if he couldn't make it to the show for whatever reasons.
