I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF

Alvarez has been screaming for maybe a decade or more now that WWE far too often rushes to the turn or payoff instead of building to something in a way that might actually garner interest. Of course when they DO try and do a slow burn, Vince gets bored and develops cold feet, abandoning it after 3 weeks...

Reminds of something Scott Keith of all people said back in the late days of WCW. WCW was burning through a year of storylines in one Nitro while WWF was moving at the speed of a Jane Austen novel. Neither was great, but now WWE has somehow combined them where a bunch of weird bizarre things happen and yet nothing happens!

They did it with pretty much all trainees, so if they doubled down on the Babatunde and other performance center folks murdering people and then like Chad Gable disappearing to join the underground fight club it'd make more sense. Instead, here's Dolph Ziggler.

Chikara had a couple random established guys there too, but they were played as just being in the background instead of being part of the fighting. So it would be like if you were watching mysterious footage of the WWE fight club stuff of Babatunde fighting some no-name and thought, "Wait, is that Jason Jordan back there? ...Why?"

Why do all these guys wrestle when fighting is so much more effective?

Mustafa Ali spoke about being kept off TV on the Bump

Mustafa Ali posted:

You know time off is hard when it’s not your choice. It’s one thing to be injured, it’s one thing to be spent — whatever the situation is. I was off because I was off and at that time it’s very — again I keep going in the mindset of a performer. I want people to understand that this isn’t someone who’s mad, this is someone who is so passionate and wants to perform and is trying to figure out why he’s not loved and there’s no real explanation and for someone who’s passionate about something you can understand how frustrating that can be.

You know and again, I go back to what I said before instead of sitting and complaining — whatever ‘when they call me, they call me’ — I got to work on my body. I’m in the best shape of my life right now. I’m in my prime right now. I can hang with anybody. I know you’ve had me on the show before. It’s not a shift in attitude. I believe that every six months you have a new obstacle in front of you and right now it’s my time to claim what’s mine. Like right now. I’m in my prime. I’m ready to go.

You could have it where police are investigating the wrestler disappearences and have Vince covering them up. This leads Dexter Loomis to winning the WWE championship.

From now on I'm going to believe all the TNA "home grown" talent were guys they pulled from Universal Studios and asked if they wanted to be wrestlers.

If it makes you feel better to think that and not that TNA "home grown" talent were forced to work a second job at a theme park in order to get maintain a wage.

Yaknow... I'll be shocked if they don't make a blue lives matter group to combat the antifa terrorists. Mustafa and Seth with their bumbling sidekick wannabe Ricochet. Maybe they can team up with the Forgotten Sons to really show those bad hombres.

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.

Posting this without contect is bad.

Jannetty just admitted to murdering a man as a teenager.

Edit: cant even confirm the state because theyre the ramblings so putting it down to what can be objective - Jannetty murdered a man and has now confessed

Just so it's said: even 12 or 13 year old me would find this and Raw Underground lame. And I wore WWE and Che shirts in the 00s after they were considered lame. The Dunn cuts made it somehow look sillier than if you just had oldman Shane directing backyard MMA. I'm sure my friends and I had a cooler looking fed and we were mostly just a bunch of douchey, dirty skids with a camera we "borrowed" from someone parents.
