DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Introducing the WWE "Please God Fire Me" Title.

Contenders earn points monthly for doing the following:
- Passive aggressive social media posts
- Liking social media posts about how you deserve better treatment
- Overtly aggressive social media posts requesting a firing
- Getting news sites to report on you requesting your release
- Looking miserable in the ring, especially when you're booked to lose a belt

The person with the most points at the end of each month wins their freedom. But be careful! The losers each month all have an additional 30 days added on to the end of their contracts.

Wait Mick Foley is announcing the new title?

Oh god it's gonna be the 24 hour hardcore title isn't it? We're going to see people winning the belt in social media vids on random weekdays.

Actually I might be okay with that.

I hope it doesn't start a new lineage, Godfather's Ho deserves her place in history.

John Pollock on the Post Wrestling podcast said was it a 24/7 title of some kind.

Meltzer this morning he heard a Hardcore title or a Legends title being talked about.

A Hardcore title is going to be weird without unprotected chairshots and just shots the guy or back.

A hardcore title would suck in a pg era and will probably end up on Shane by the end of the year. A legends title just sounds like nostalgia based panic booking and will also end up on Shane by the end of the year.

What if Brock cashes in MitB on the new title as soon as it's announced and he sits on that Omniverse Championship forever?

24/7 title makes the most sense of you apply WWE thinking. Can have people making a totally spontaneous video for Twitter and they film themselves challenging for the 24/7 title. Or a "fan" just happens to catch some kind of title defence in a Denny's and uploads it to social media. It's the exact kind of monetisation of wrestlers entire lives that WWE has been going for lately

If it's literally just the DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight title and treated exactly as seriously as that belt, it'd be fine.

"During a live show, Shinobu and Miyamoto traded the championship with each other 303 times, which is the record for most title changes on the same night. The date of the event is unknown. Those title changes are not listed to reduce the size of the article"

Also just a reminder that if WWE tries to reveal a new 24/7 title tonight, it's going to crash and burn. The only good 24/7 title is the DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship.

As mentioned on the post-show podcast, Ali was told he was winning the WWE Money in the Bank ladder match much of the afternoon, until he was clued in on Brock Lesnar being the actual winner. There was chatter of Lesnar being backstage, but wasn't seen until it was time for him to go out.

I wonder why more people don't just Shawn Michaels the gently caress outta bad booking

Like, the Revival wants out and is getting punished for it, but they went all in on the acting when the "usey hot" thing happened. Like, why even sell it. Just give it the least effort possible.

Same with Ali, why even take a bump that whole match. When Brock throws you off lands safely and then just stare disinterested as he goes for the case.
