it really is hilarious. i haven't seen this many people rush to the defense of ROH in a long time so this might actually be the buzz they need

Can someone explain what is “preview” about WWE Backstage until 11/5? Because CM punk hasn’t started yet?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Enjoying this ratings schadenfreude for no other reason than it working to confirm that all WWE has is habitual inertia. It could disappear and 2/3 of its standard audience wouldnt give a poo poo.

A friend of mine started using the word "vincels" to describe the hardcore WWE fans that'll defend them no matter what, and I think thats a word thats good enough to catch on.

H is the 8th letter in the alphabet

888 = HHH

So the audience was in the Triple H thousands

I could see WWE being one of those too big to fail companies that's going to live for a thousand years and then suddenly one domino falls away and the whole thing collapses and everyone stands around going "well obviously it was going to break down, who couldn't have seen this coming?"

if the TV deals get cancelled they're gonna be hosed, and being a Saudi Arabia backyard wrestling show isn't really viable, so :yeah:

If you told HHH 2 months ago that Smackdown would do 888K he'd be psyched because NXT would EASILY beat that and he'd be able to look good to Vince.

Now he can only be psyched because it's the Hitler number.

That's way more self reflection than I expect from anybody even in the periphery of WWE.

Would you be my new best friends?

Yeah, they admitted they hosed up and apologized which is more than WWE itself almost ever does. Still a spectacularly stupid thing to have said, but at least they're not doubling down or trying to pretend it is everybody else's fault for being offended by them being offensive.

It's kinda sad even that minor self-reflection is notable nowadays.

Oh Snapple!

It reads like an apology for not mentioning those other folks instead of Kairi, not for the absence of those folks lol. Like it's an apology for their response being poo poo without actually acknowledging the root issue.

I don't think it's support but rather morbid curiosity at how bad each show will be. Also, when they allow matches to happen they have the roster to be entertaining matches sometimes.

idk why but at this point I honestly can’t remember how any of the monsters got over in the past. Like, I don’t remember taker or kane or whoever really holding belts that much, they were there because they just wanted to kill your rear end. why is it so hard to do the same with bray? why do they do any of this? why does a loving spooky supernatural murderhobo want a goddamned belt in the first place???? I loving hate this goddamned company and their stupid loving booking
