To save the exact same post being posted I was referring Sanguinia and VJeff's posts on the previous page mainly. Warning signs about Landis were rather larger, overtly stated and on the record in interviews and stuff. The situation with Rich came as a surprise and uncharacteristic. That's pretty much my point. But as I said in the past I don't see how WWE doesn't fire him. The update in the Observer was slightly more optimistic on the possibility though.

If that's your point just loving say it instead of going "we are being really open minded about Landis, hmmmmmm." You wanna call out Sanguinia and VJeff, then do it.

Can't wait for my favorite part of Rovert-posting: him making passive-aggressive implications, people reacting to those implications, Rovert getting offended that people are putting words in his mouth because he never EXPLICITLY said that, followed be people asking him what the loving point of his original post was, J-ru telling everyone to shut up, and then the next three posts are people calling out rovert then editing their posts saying "sorry J-ru didn't see your post".

What everyone would want out of a Rey return: Itami feud, Finn feud, even feud with Metallik

What everyone would get out of a Rey return: putting over Enzo harder than anyone not named Roman Reigns has been put over in the past four years, getting randomly chokeslammed by Kane again to hype him up for a world title shot in 2019 after he comes back fulltime from losing his mayoral bid

I don't know if Kane will lose his mayoral bid. He's running in a pretty conservative area, and has some big name GOP guys backing/endorsing him.

Forgotten story from this year. Remember when Sin Cara signed a fat new contract extension and was going to be "WWE's next Latin America star" two months ago. Beat Corbin on TV and then: https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=3669&page=4

Didn't he suffer an injury? Not that I'd expect him to have been pushed regardless but I vaguely recall him being hurt at a house show, working through it and then just fading into the background?

Without looking it up it was worse than it seemed. He did a horrible twist on his ankle and turned out fine.

Ego. Nothing compares to 18,000 people cheering when you make your entrance. And if he does WM that's like 80,000 standing on their feet thanking you for your career.

Like my old boss went to a Hardy Boys Q and A a couple years ago and Jeff said they were gonna be back in WWE before they retired and they're there now. Some dudes just want that one last run before hanging up their boots forever.

...like, seriously? Sin Cara? Because suddenly pushing Jinder after close to a decade as a jobber with no momentum and no credibility really made him a huge Indian Star, so they thought repeating that was a good plan?
