I cannot get over that they gave Adam Cole the longest world title reign in NXT history, had his stable dominate the company for even longer and put him over everyone from Johnny Gargano to Daniel Bryan, and their first post-championship storyline capitalizing on all of that time and effort is a feud with Pat Buck, Part-Time Backstage Guy

Yeah, I think they've done a soft face turn for TUE.

They haven't done the greatest with turns lately.

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.
Pat Buck is feuding with Nia Jax in a segment that was worse than the fight club segments. This raw should be in a museum.

I actually knew the name part and messed it up because I have made the crucial mistake of posting while half-awake, but wait, I thought Cole's Pat was that dumb rear end in a top hat who hosted the youtube watchalongs and poo poo and got yelled at by Michael Cole for wearing shorts that one time

Vince has too much self loathing to ever let one of his “creations” go over anything he perceives as mainstream . He thinks by showing rear end and being an idiot the mainstream will let him in, that’s why he does this.

If literally any d list celebrity wanted to go over HHH at Wrestlemania Vince would let it happen.

There's a lot of words I'd use to describe McMahon and I'm not sure self loathing would be one.

There's an element of him that is embarrassed to be associated with something as southern as wrestling which is why he insists he does sports entertainment, but I think that's separate from self loathing. I can't imagine Vince being one for self-reflection and that seems necessary for self loathing

he hates southern stuff because he was born in the south and left there by his dad and brother to be raised in it. there's self-loathing in the dude but it isn't the kind that manifests as depression. he has a lot of complex stuff tug of warring with everything else like grandiose delusions.

I don't watch NXT but it seems like Damien Priest's gimmick is that of Being A Hunk.

Well that makes me feel better. The hat is so bad that I assumed it had to be intended to make him look like a doofus because nobody could possibly believe that it's a legitimately good hat.
