Miz does this thing a lot where he'll point out some really stupid decision made by WWE and then he'll blame the wrestler who was a victim of said decision for it happening and I find it really obnoxious and grating and not in a He's A Good Heel kind of way.

It's absolutely repugnant that the Saudi Government killed this journalist, the only just punishment is that we keep sending them WWE shows. And they have to stay in their seats the whole time.

I once watched, I think it was a year end episode of NXT, and it had a video package about Ember Moon and it was super good and made her come off as super likable. She's stilted in her promos, even in NXT, but she's one of those people who's just magnetic in the ring and makes you care about what she's doing, like Cesaro. She might be a bad talker, but she's got charisma.

Can you imagine if WWE's new plan is to just not mention the show at all but go ahead and do it anyway? Like, the next several weeks of Raw and SmackDown, they just don't mention Saudi Arabia or Crown Jewel at all.

Sydney Bottocks posted:The only one who really could is Lesnar. Everyone else is either too loyal to Vince, or needs the money too badly. Roman Reigns isn't going to walk over this. Neither is the Undertaker. Shawn Michaels most likely isn't, either. And you know HHH most certainly isn't. Everyone else that's supposed to go just isn't high enough on the food chain for it to make Vince change his mind instead of just making their life miserable until their contract expires. John Cena, a weary nation turns its eye to you.

I gotta object to the whole "fans will just keep giving WWE money" narrative to once again point out that WWE has been regularly losing fans by the bucketful for like four years now. You can argue the cause. But they are losin' people with their nonsense.

I think Roman could very well be one of the guys who's uncomfortable going but he wouldn't even stand up for himself all those times Vince jerked him around with Brock or sent him out with horrible material. Like, if he was willing to go out and get concussed by Brock and still lose, he's never standing up to Vince.
