The bit with Beck is loving gross tho. If you're spending so much time at your workplace that the only people you meet and date are co-workers, you're spending way too much time at your work. That's not healthy.

Becoming friends with the people you work with is actually aggressively normal, even moreso in an industry like WWE where you're constantly traveling together and have bizarre schedules that are completely incompatible with regular lives.

The more I think about it, the more the Seth thing sounds like the kind of heavyhanded babyface positioning WWE loves. Just done in a completely tonedeaf manner(another thing they're famous for). Vince is thinking firey babyface promo and completely refuses to believe the crowd is making jerking off motions.

It's basically the Dolph Ziggler problem. Seth's about 2 degrees from screaming tearfully about how he WORKS HARDER than ANYONE in this BUSINESS every SINGLE DAY.

I feel legit bad for Becky. Someone so talented who rose against all odds to make herself into a big deal only to have your entire character killed because you had the bad judgement to date Seth Rollins

Marufuji didn't really say anything bad beyond "today of all days" or something along those lines. He told KENTA not to get lost in the shuffle at NJPW.

Kenoh's thing was a magazine interview and mostly a kayfabe shot at Marufuji for wishing him luck along the lines of Naito yelling at NJPW for wishing Nakamura luck in WWE.

I know it's wrestling, but a match in who looks the least stupid between Seth Rollins and Wil Osprey somehow ending in a Baron Corbin victory is too absurd for me.

"Baron Corbin looks the least stupid" is not a sentence I should have to type, or think.

Considering how Kenoh left M-Pro I hope that was kayfabe or he has zero self awareness.

Baron Corbin's strength is trolling guys who take wrestling way too seriously and/or indy guys.

Currently the most wrestletwitter excitement has to come from LA Park having his rear end get eaten out as his Twitter av for months, and Ciber The Main Man getting suspended for posting a vid of a dog giving a woman a blowjob

I don't think we could have survived Twitter existing in different periods of history than now. Example: coked out Shawn making absolutely sure everyone saw his dick during each binge

When Scott Hall relapses, he tends to post seminude pictures of e-girls that sext him. The potential revenue stream would have saved him for decades of substance abuse problems brought on by road wear.

the Seth Rollins podcast quote sounds like something a WWE writer(with Vince feeding lines) came up with.

Vince should just copy AAA and re-use old gimmicks with a junior at the end. Mojo as Undertaker Jr, Baron Corbin with a wig as Diesel Jr, Drake with some clown makeup as Doink Jr

No idea where you heard that since they've been in the same conference since it was formed 1994. Are you thinking of Texas A&M? They left the Big 12 for the SEC and the rivalry ended and UT and TAMU fans definitely don't spend all day and night thinking about what the other is doing.
