Almost everything they do is completely without joy. How do you make wrestling not fun?

Because the wrestlers have no creative input. They're drill trained, matches are laid out for them, and they're punished for improvising.

Has WWE been pushing the network on Raw and Smackdown? You would think since they're showing old matches to pad for time they would use that to promote the network. Since, you know, everyone's stuck at home and looking for content to binge.

It's pretty drat telling that we immediately knew who put together the Boneyard Match and Funhouse Match but the architects of Edge/Orton is apparently a loving mystery. Pretty sure we know exactly who it was, though.

The shows with unprotected headshots to people who have sued them and women getting beaten down while the crowd calls them sluts? Eh might pop a rating. Do they have to bleep everytime they say WWF?

Pretty sure when they were getting ready to launch the Network they finally paid the pandas off so they didn't have to blur and bleep the thousands and thousands of occurrences of "WWF" on the shows.

They could run Raw from any period other than the current one and get better ratings. People would prefer Doink vs Mantaur in the Manhattan Centre to the current product.

They'd think they'd like that til they find out stonecold and the rock took up like 8 minutes of the show. Enjoy your 10 matches where 9 end in 3 minutes due to interference and the 10th is the headbangers vs the godwins or a tag team you can't remember and have no nostalgia for.

Rovert randomly becoming it after we went a whole, single week with 0 of them around was the wildest of those developments imo. Like we were actually free and peaceful. We didn't have another one anywhere in sight, even a random new account. And then he turned

I’m sure they are but I’m also sure there’s clauses for situations where it’s impossible to do so.

Also, Edge has been out for like a decade and just had his first singles match after working his rear end off for years to get back to this point. I’m willing to give him a pass for not accepting that it was boring as gently caress. Him being happy is great and while I think the match was terrible I’m not gonna jump the dude’s rear end over his enthusiasm.

Didn’t he still downplay the whole ACH thing by saying he had problems while blaming us for not getting why Lacy is a good heel? I know the Satin hiring broke him. I was always kind of tolerant of him as he was a loon but he was OUR loon (by virtue of everyone else banning him). I have a soft spot for fellow cripples, bastards and broken things. I know the show sucked but I like that quote. On the other hand: We do have better scoopsgals and he did tend to make threads a bit shite. Just hope he gets the right meds and finds his peace one day. Great. Now he’s going to start tweeting WH again.
