I don't hate him at all but at the same time there's no reason to give a poo poo about him from a talent perspective, it's just funny how his worth is inflated for some reason.

I think it's far more likely they were working WWE to get better money. They're obviously on the WWE retirement plan and have not been very quiet about it.

I take it as her trying to write the whole thing off as one of her "The Man" twitter feuds. The podcast and Rollins taking shots at Moxley amongst others probably takes it to another level but if she can at least stop him from meltdowning on Twitter maybe she can avoid going down with the ship.

I honestly don't see Becky being affected by this at all. People are generally keeping her out of it. Everything I've seen about Seth's tweets are just him corncobbing on his own, no Becky involved. She's basically the peanut gallery.

Yeah, I don't know. I was predicting she'd start screaming about bootstraps or anything but its natural for someone to want to stick up for someone they care about, especially on a platform like Twitter where people are probably gonna eventually come at her if it went on long enough. So the best thing for her is just to try and defuse it and get him to shut up.

I don't even get this one. Did Dave give Seth some ridiculously low star rating at some point?

Seth is a good performer but lol at what he's doing right now. It's like one of those dudes that inherited money and he gets mad when regular people say America isn't fair. What do you mean, I got rich, it must be fair!

"Some kid" AKA a main event talent in a major global promotion. Ospreay is literally one of the very best out of the very best.

When Dave was getting publicly called out because he was round-a-bout in saying that Peyton Royce's wrestling got worse after she got implants, Seth sent that first tweet.

It means the entire thing is about a fragile dude's bruised ego and his lashing out about it. And that's never gonna end well because he's not gonna get the positive reinforcement he wants from the people he's being a dick to.

They're probably the same size at this stage. The money thing is literally the only card he could play. Ospreay's last PPV match was in front of 12k. Rollins' was in front of 4k.

The Meltzer thing was that Seth talked poo poo about Dave being very Dave about trying to talk about a female wrestler getting her boobs done and it impacting her work (Basically, Dave tried really, really hard to not be sexist and instead, if you squinted, it could be read as him saying she'd put on weight) and WWE sicced half the roster on him on Twitter. So Seth is now making an rear end of himself on Twitter and Dave is giving a receipt.

At least when Orton made fun of indie guys doing dives, he a) had a point to some degree and b) wasn't a hypocrite because, well, he's Randy Orton. He's never done a dive in his career.

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
It’s very important to remember that, while revenge porn is bad and suuuuper uncool, Seth got a picture of his dick posted by his fiancée because he got caught cheating on her with a Nazi. Anyway, long story short Colby Lopez is probably pretty loving stupid.

Hopefully Ospreay just sort of lets this float away from him and doesn't stir the pot too much more, he's said he wants to be more responsible with what he says as a representative of NJPW which I think was mostly in reference to his dumbshit antics on twitter. Ideally he can rest easy knowing he's the guy who made the face of the WWE have a loving meltdown with a few small jabs and not make a whole big thing out of it.

uh huh. I've never seen Payton Royce wrestle either before or after her operation, but I'd kind of imagine that it would impact your ability to work as a wrestler. Without knowing (or honestly caring that much) exactly what Dave said, it seems weird to drag on him for it. But Seth is an idiot so whatever.
