The final test to see if Triple H is ready to inherit WWE is to see if he can cover up a child abuse scandal.

Anyway scoops, AJ please stop streamingAJ Styles posted:There was a time where obviously the Attitude Era was definitely a lot raunchier, and I know it did better ratings-wise. But that’s tough, that’s tough for me that has 4 kids, you know, and them watching us do certain stuff. And you can get away with a lot more back then that you’ll never, ever get away with again. This world has changed completely since then. There’s a lot more sensitive people out there, so the fact is that you’re going to get away with hardly anything. Seth please just stop Seth Rollins posted:It’s funny how that works. I don’t know what the fans want. You give them what they want and they reject it. Then you give them what they want again and after two weeks and they want what they rejected. It’s such a weird roller coaster. Wrestling fandom is one of the wildest things in the world. We have to do things week to week because we really don’t have things planned and done for weeks like a TV show. Everything changes week to week. I can’t imagine being somebody who has to write a wrestling show; you have to lose your hair. I can just do my job the best I can. e: Mox was on Observer Radio Jon Moxley posted:We know what their problem is. It’s one person, three letters: V-K-M,” Moxley said. “That’s the problem. Until he’s gone, or relinquishes control, it’s just not gonna change. When I watch the show during the pandemic era, I’m just like, ‘Oh thank God I’m not there. Jesus Christ.’ I mean, what would I be doing on that show right now? Can you imagine? You think it would be any good? Like, come on. Rarity fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Aug 23, 2020 |

You can just totally imagine him with a single tear going down his cheek as he realizes WCW would have won the war handily with an attitude like that. remember when they did a lil birthday celebration for jake and he was legitimately moved by it because nobody had done anything like that for him before at any other company

That Seth quote is really loving dumb considered they lack the mental acuity or agility to change the finish of a match where a dude's arm is apparently about to fall off but yeah have him keep wrestling a titan like Keith Lee you worthless fuckhead HHH. Karrion Kross looked like a drugged Brandon Cutler RPing as BROODON THE DARK ASSASSIN out there you don't need to protect the sanctity of kayfabe by having him manage an 18 hour title reign after that sluggish turd of a match. Also sure maybe Keith Lee is being called up for a feud with Dolph Ziggler but you can change the finish, save Karrion Kross' arm further damage do the MRI and have Kross either win the belt in a week or whatever or have Keith Lee drop it to someone else. Takeover XXX is just some lovely network special with Pat McAffe who loving cares. Dolph Ziggler can wait. They're not quick on their feet with story telling or capable of long term storytelling. You're all bad at your jobs, Seth, now stop beating Rey Mysterio's son for him. Spiderdrake fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Aug 23, 2020 |

I am definitely not happy about Keith Lee’s loss. But I was also pretty sure Lee was going to lose tonight so I had hardened myself to it a bit because they clearly really like Kross and that gimmick is pretty much done the second he gets pinned; it should have been at least a few months before he got to Lee. Match itself was okay, kind of like they at least tried to apply some modern stuff to like an early 90s Hogan match. Except then the Hogan lost which sort of goes against the point of that match. Keith Lee is too good to actually be hurt by this and I am sure worse poo poo is to come if he hits the main roster, but still he deserved a better reign. Rest of the show was pretty good. Balor vs Thatcher would have died a hard death in front of any real crowd but I dig the heavy grapple match and this paid crowd that is popping for chain grapples in 2020 was a nice look into a world where people like that stuff. Ladder match had some absolutely pointless but cool spots. McAffe vs Cole was really basic but it is still impressive for dude’s first match on TV. Io vs Dakota was my favorite thing on the show. I don’t know how Dakota is ever going to win a match from a storyline perspective because her finisher by design always drops people right next to the ropes, but she is really good. I am not ready for Io to be done though.

According to Seth, fans are too stupid and indecisive to have any idea of what they want, so they'll continue to protest and angrily watch whatever is put in front of them until they finally give up and go away for good. And this is supposed to help...? Seriously, what's the point? They're insulting the few fans they have left. It's like if you threw a really lovely party and people kept leaving until only a sympathetic few remain to try and see if anything will improve and you figure the best course of action is to call them loving idiots for sticking around because they don't even know what a party is.
