When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I laughed out loud at shootfighter Dolph Ziggler, it's the most I've ever been entertained by him.

Im watching AEW Dark right now and Abadon is on screen. She has 18 months of experience total. She is an undead creature.

I'm mentioning this because she is different and by WWE standards hopelessly inexperienced. The thing us she is different but good, got over organically, and it somehow doesnt feel like im watching something that isnt pro wrestling.

Different isn't an end point. Its a start. Being different AND bad is the worst.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I explained Dexter Lumis the serial killer and mute tortured artist to my girlfriend last night and she actually cried with laughter when I showed her one of his drawings

This is from a few pages back, so I am sorry.

But as I see it, the Dexter Lumis "Art" thing is much like Vince's obsession with getting werestlers to dance.

Dexter himself has a minor talent for drawing these caricatures. So probably one time when he was sitting around the PC bored he did one of a coworker friend of his for gags. Then Stephanie/Vince/Someone saw him doing that and went "WOW, a wrestler has a hobby! A wrestler can do a thing other than look at the hard cam! We must shoehorn this into his character and TV, no matter how stupid and lame it is!" And thus the tortured artist/serial killer was born.

They did the same with Cena, (he was rapping for fun backstage, and so they forced him to become a doctor of thuganomics), they do it with anyone Vince sees dancing.

McMahon always wanted to be a dancer but could never disclose this within the hyper-masculine circles within which he moved

Dijak is cool but lol at Vanessa Borne. They’ll probably put Mansoor in there or something.

I like Dijak and Chelsea, but it would be hilarious if they were part of the group that were like "Nobody gets opportunities!" because they're both exactly the type of people Vince loves.
