DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I'm glad we've reached true equality with the women in WWE. Just like the men, all of them are terrible and always have been. Plus their matches suck and the feuds are either lame or don't make sense from week to week.

If Renee watches it Jon probably watches it.

Also, The Bachelor is a fun and stupid show. I love trash reality TV though. It's a good time watching with your SO and just talking through it about how stupid all the characters are behaving.

At some point we're going to have to appreciate Vince's game of chess

If he couldn't get Reigns cheered, he was drat sure going to find a way to get everyone else booed and not cared about. And he did it

So in today's news of Paige fans are stupid. There are some of them telling Paige she needs to leave WWE and go join Impact Wrestling, as they'll let her wrestle. :psyduck:

Say what you will about Vince, but at least Paige will almost certainly have a cushy job in WWE somewhere and be paid well, and be in good health. Where with Impact, she'll probably paralyze herself and Impact will offer no recompense.

Yes it is. But "she's 25 so she's going to wrestle again, and Impact is the best place to do it" is a really delusional take.

now here she is to put someone down for no reason at all with no chance of every getting comeuppance. yes the person she's putting down is a woman who could have a match with her or do something, austin/mcmahon style, but nah she just cowtowed and walked away

Shane being Smackdown’s #2 face behind AJ is absurd. Orton’s had no character work since his feud with Bray ended and they “just another guy’d” Shinsuke obscenely fast so the owner’s son could have his on screen midlife crisis cool strong guy fantasy.

This Smackdown feud between Shane and Daniel is so weird I can't legitimate figure out who the heel is. Daniel keeps saying Shane is the heel because he's becoming like his father, but Daniel is favoring the "heels" which are still kinda fan favorites. If this doesn't end in a Daniel Brian vs Shane match soon I would just think they're trying to devalue Daniel Brian before his contract runs out and he tries to go to another company because this story is baaaaad

It's crazy because they're the villains but they also can never be defeated because they own the company. So how can a babyface loom strong when they kayfabe have no actual influence or power on the evil forces controlling their existence?

Beat them up, make them pee their pants, cover them in beer, blow up their car, etc, etc. If they just re-ran the Austin/Vince feud, verbatim, with Stephanie and Becky it would be a million times better than any garbage McMahon storyline in the last 15 years
