A weird question:

Has WWE publicly, or on commentary acknowledged that Zelina Vega's stable has a stable of pretty, attractive men? i.e. That both of the men she is in charge of are beautiful.

Or is that just a thing we have latched on to?

WWE isn't secure enough in its masculinity to acknowledge when men are very handsome. I say this as someone who has watched years of Finn Balor matches.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

In a normal time Zelina's stable definitely would have been the periodic thing WWE does that sounds kind of interesting and is kinda cool and gets me to tune in for a little while only for me to quickly get tired of the way they're handling it half assed and the whole WWE package and then just tune out again.

Zelina as a stable leader is amazing. She's great on the mic, has a really good look, is established with Andrade already. One of the few good things they've nailed in a while.

Not a problem, the call will go as follows. Vince will claim that company's propsects have been hit by COVID-19 but that overall their business deals are healthy and that they expect to have a regular PPV provider within the next few weeks. The question of talent dismissals and falling TV ratings will be raised but Vince will claim they're not going to discuss that at this time. WWE stock will go up by 5 points as Vince clearly has it all under control.

Even better, the "cause" was that apparently Luck and other executives didn't lose as much money as Vince was expecting them to, and this is apparently bad for some reason and means he shouldn't have to pay them.

i mean if a guy's job is to help you do totally 100% legal methods of laundering money while simultaneously using it to avoid paying taxes thanks to features of the 2017 tax legislation, you should be allowed to fire him for being bad at his job

Muad'Dib!


Y'know how there are some people who are like "You guys are so biased against WWE. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and every company does it. :smug: " but then WWE does something like this or worse. Constantly. So the narrative is he couldn't cut it and so is losing his job due to him sucking and circumstances beyond anyone's control? No it wasn't. Vince chose to fire him at the worst time possible because he wants to carny more money. It's using a tragedy they blatantly created to manufacture interest in their lovely product as well as a way to deflect people's attention from their real scummy shenanigans. Also add in someone else's point about all the other people that are just forgotten. I feel like this is some clip from Mr Show where Ronnie keeps saying how his hand hurts and Bob is like "that's cause you stuck your hand in the beehive again!" Ronnie goes "but that's where I gets the sweet, sweet honey!" But instead of sweet, sweet honey its orphan tears and instead of somebody putting their hand in a beehive its Vince killing puppies with a chainsaw while shouting "I'm Vince McMahon dammit!" and surrounded by a bunch of old boomers calling it genius.

Now I'd like a McDouble, poutine and a large strawberry Fanta. Also a brownie rmhc please!

Stuff from Observer Radio:

Dave said as of this moment Drake's in the same boat as Sarah (fired, could be used throughout the 90 days they can't compete or sign elsewhere, like there's anywhere else they could compete or sign right now that's holding shows, but once that passes that's that)

Dave and Bryan pointed out how hosed it is that Jake Atlas, a gay man, isn't allowed to say he is gay in promos, and using code words to hint that he is in his promos will only confuse the public who doesn’t know. In WWE it’s okay to fake being gay, but if you're actually gay you can’t acknowledge it

I’ve seen people asking why these certain wrestlers were released and the answer to that is because they weren’t over. Now you might remark that if they’re never given storylines or wins or chances to get over, they will never get over. My reply to that would be “why would the wwe waste tv time or effort writing storylines for someone who isn’t over?” Let’s use our heads, people.

This picture is the perfect microcosm of WWE. Shoving a camera and mic in the face of someone's despair for ratings. It feels like the mic is even being held at the perfect position for that 90s style exploitative crash TV they used to do back when Springer was a thing, while some film school dropout constantly nudges the cameraman with his elbow and says "Eh? EHH? Are you getting this!?"

They literally brought in Garza to sub while Andrade was suspended, made them a tag team when he came out, called up Theory to sub for an Andrade injury at wrestlemania, and then just made them a stable when Andrade came back.

Why you should vote for him: Tried to start a wrestling union.

Made Vince scream "that's my money" when he lost a court case and had to pay Jesse
