Hey, that tat got him like a one week push before they decided to instead do a tasteless firing angle.

Are you confusing Gallagher with Drake Maverick or did WWE have another firing angle on 205Live?

BREADAGRAM OF PROTECTION
Seeing Jack Gallagher on there really bummed me out. He was on Giant Bomb podcasts and shows a couple of times and just seemed genuinely likeable. He was also one of the few wrestler my wife was a fan of. I figured his ceiling was 205 Live, but still rooted for him. This sucks but you just have to be hopeful this is a turning point for getting this poo poo out of wrestling.

Being so mad about a segment that you pull it from the West Coast feed (as I believe happened with this segment) seems to indicate a breakdown in relations that is noteworthy. I don't get how you manage to agree with me (that WWE's relationship with Fox is collapsing) while trying to be a trolling idiot but cool look, I guess.

How do you think the conversation went in the Fox boardroom when they signed with VKM and WWE?

"Oh boy, we've got ourselves some real wholesome content now!!!"

LOL!

When you get in bed with Vince you expect an occasional poo poo sandwich, figuratively and literally. Fox knew that.

The urine segment was in poor taste. As the broadcasting network, Fox had the right to veto the content from the West Coast feed. They chose to exercise that option. Was it a HUGE deal? Sure, if your name is Phil Mushnick.

As I mentioned, WWE's longer-term ratings decline is a much, much bigger issue.

EDITED TO ADD: All these wrestlers getting outed for being sexual predators in real life might just be a little bigger issue than the pee-pee episode too.

Have to hand it to WWE for finding a worse way to handle this scandal by releasing one guy but allowing another to win cleanly on a network show which sure as hell sends a very bad message to the roster

I've known Alex for a long time, he'll address it probably as soon as he's asked about it or made aware.

He immediately used the Starr news to go after Bix and retweeted old tweets of himself to make sure everybody knew he knew about Starr ages ago. Usual rovert areas.

I have absolutely zero clue what this argument is about as, as karmicknight notes, you appear to be agreeing the same thing, so all I can suggest is chill the gently caress out.

I remember when FOX was first advertising Smackdown and Becky was 99% of the advertisement for it. Literally no other woman on the roster existed, not even Bayley who was the champ. Then Becky didn't go to Smackdown.
