I hope The Revival recovers from injuries and actually gets to have a decent run because that'll be the most squandered tag team ever if it just peters out.

Can it really be "squandered" if the dudes literally just keep getting injured? Like, I fully trust the WWE to gently caress their booking, but both times now they've just been starting out a program and then one of the guys gets hurt. Not really WWE booking's fault at all here, just freak accidents cutting off a team's momentum.

Now if they start booking The Revival to come out in plastic bubbles to prevent them from being injured and rename them to Mr. Glass and Mr. Brittle upon their return, I could see that being WWE's fault

I've got the tweets printed out right here, brother. The internet's got the scoops on what ladies are too fat to be in a wrestling ring and I'll be sure to tell that to them.

Wrestling and Rick and Morty are both in Hot Topic where they belong and are both highly embarrassing.

Grown men shrieking like children while standing on a counter demanding sugar meme sauce for their nugs is on the same level as poo poo I've seen from wrestling fans. We should all be loser allies in our terrible hobbies.

Tye Dillinger totally sucks.

Drew Gulak totally rules.

Big Cass is having quite the poo poo last few months but who cares because in his absence The Zo Train is going full speed.

But for real, he's hosed and could only get heat beating on Enzo who is now heel and the main focus of an entire show. He is so, so screwed when he comes back.

Somehow Ciampa tweeting makes me less interested in his feud. Dunno what it is but a guy tweeting pictures of action figures and turning down podcasts reduces his "badass heel" factor considerably. That's Yoshi Tatsu poo poo.

Yes. Meltzer mentioned when THQ went under that contracts 2k offered were drastically cheaper. A few guys like Foley refused to sign likeness rights in protest the next year. But they all came back because it's not like anyone else can make the games. You're still passing up money.

Between THQ going under and PPVs dying and being replaced with the Network, wrestlers got ultra hosed on royalties.

There's few things in wrestling more pathetic than worshipping an awful booker that has done nothing but fail and kill multiple promotions, let alone internet dogpiling on innocent folks and journalists who just report facts at his behest. What makes one into a Vince Russo groupie? A virulent hatred of women, minorities, and good wrestling?

Glad to see Russo being the good Christian as always. He's saved you know.

Remember when everyone was excited TJP won the CWC (only because the other top guys to win wisely didn't sign WWE contracts) because they got to dunk on Josh Matthews for old tweets encouraging TJP to quit and leave TNA?

Turns out TJP is an insufferable MRA dork rear end and Josh hated him for good reason (even though Josh still sucks too).

Just offhand I know he knocked some guy unconscious and was still trying to get his poo poo in on the guy while he was out. He also kneed or kicked Ziggler right in the face in his one WWE PPV match and was fired shortly after.

The Twitter stuff is fun, everyone is having fun with it. No wrestler is really mad on Twitter until they start deleting stuff or re-tweeting a bunch of fan tweets about not getting pushed enough.

Ivelisse sucks but I still can't believe anyone signed those LU contracts or didn't ask for a release at the end of season 4. I know the scene wasn't as hot when LU started, but loving lol at being stuck in that unending contract right when wrestling companies are competing to sign people left and right.

"Nobody imagined when they first signed that it'd be as much of a disaster as it wound up being" is the only thing I can think of

Yeah, I get that no one could predict at the beginning. But per Joey Ryan and others, they gave people the opportunity to leave after Season 4 and get out of the contract. At the end of Season 4, only the most deluded of human beings could think staying with LU was a good idea, unless literally no other promotion on Earth would book you. Which seems to be the case with Ivelisse, so I'm not sure why she's complaining when she could have left like everyone else.

Regal has a good head for this stuff as he was super cautious about saying anything during the Benoit tribute RAW.
