Jericho was ahead of the curve on this when he used to have a website then moaned when people didn't think his KOTR match with RVD was 5 stars.

idk why he's so offended when he has like, several 5 star matches under his belt already, many with the same opponent, like they can't all be winners. the nxt match was way too loving long and filled with stupid moment, it wasn't bad but it def wasn't as good as the previous ones

but yeah WWE people are touchy as gently caress about their overbooked poo poo

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

It's funny because I'd rather watch most modern performers than the 90s poo poo but you basically listed "What Vince wants" and these dweebs are warbling on twitter about their precious meltzer snowflake matches when that doesn't matter.

Like the one recent tiny indie dweeb (relatively, ofc) who really got over is also among the greatest promos of all time. Gargano should be studying him, not worrying about his stupid move move nearfall four hour match not being twitter-acclaimed. Worry about what Vince and the mainstream audience thinks of you.

But they never learn. Then they sign a new contract and wonder why they're trapped in catering.

I dunno, the internet has led to a lot of good in regards to wrestling and the people working within it. But man, face or heel, vanity searching your own matches is a level of lame that didn't exist pre-Internet.

Jim Hellwig on the mostly black Hurricane Katrina victims posted:

Anyone who expresses sentiments like "How could they let this hurricane come here and do this to our lives?" is a kook as far as I am concerned. Those that somehow believe people are directly to blame for the happening of a natural catastrophe don't deserve to be heard. In fact, they should to be told to shut the hell up. These kinds of people contribute nothing toward repairing things to a better state. Truth is, these people thrive on despair and disarray. Chaos -- mentally and physically and in the way they conduct their lives -- is nothing new to them. They forge their whole lives in and around it. This hurricane to them was nothing more than like rearranging the furniture. If we could be shown what general conditions they lived in before the hurricane, we would see that had little respect for what they did have. We would see just how unorganized, unclean and dysfunctionally they lived. They never gave a care for order, cleanliness or function before, but now that they can get someone's attention who will possibly take over the responsibility of their life for them, they go on these tirades about how their life has been ruined. Their lives were already in ruin -- self ruin. Ruined by the bad choices they made over and over.

Beginning with the choice to sit on their rear end expecting someone else to hand them a wonderful, beautiful, healthy and wealthy life. And excuse me for being the one to say so, but if you have a dozen kids and no husband to be a father, there are some 'holes' in your life plan that should be sewed up.

edit: he was like, trying to further the cause of weaponizing his racism, and rallying troops in public so to speak which might be worse though i don't believe i'll weigh the options and rank them at this time

And they are fat. Have you ever seen so many fat people? Poverty? Poverty of what? Having enough to buy so much food to eat that you become obese — this is poverty? Only one TV? This is poverty?

Free medicine and medical care if you really need it? Is having all this poverty? What the hell, then, do we call the scenes they shoot out of Africa that they use to lay guilt trips down on all of us?

WWE Honored Bigoted Fucker Warrior on Vince's "hero" MLK posted:

Martin Luther King can have his own self-titled birthday recognized as a National Holiday, but not our country's First President? Should I go on? Should I have to? Do I want to? Will I? You bet your rear end I will.

Let's see if I understand this correctly. Or should I say, let's see if I can get to anywhere near a "correct understanding" of this piece of nonsense by, first, understanding it sensically using political-incorrectness?

Martin marched a few times from Selma, AL to Montgomery, AL. It's only about 40 miles and he walked along paved roads with security escorts and modern comforts and conveniences. He wrote a few jailhouse letters, plagiarized a great many speeches, and played up his last name "King" as if he was ONE. He led his best rally amid the monuments of Washington, DC. He preached proper, righteous behavior while he at the same time committed adultery many publicly verifiable times — oh, and he had "a dream."

In the same speech where he said "queering don't make the world work.", Warrior also told a female student of Middle Eastern origin to "get a towel."

You know, coz people like that wear towels on their heads whilst they hate freedom and blow themselves up trying to make the USA sharia law. Hahaha what a funny joke, and a man worthy of respect.

i'm... really not sure how the quality of their wrestling character is tied to their quality as a human.

each of the 90s characters listed has some kind of memorable hook. none of those dudes were just playing "themselves, but not really." they all had some kind of ridiculous gimmick that got (and kept) people's attention. the closest WWE has to that nowadays is, like, loving Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt, and one of those wasn't their invention.
