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.
Whoever bet Bischoff and Heyman wouldn't last one year in their roles go collect your winnings.

Okay, I don't wanna cast aspersions or doubts on HBK, I really don't. I really wanna believe this is true.

But does anybody else think the story about him explaining systemic racism to some NXT producer (and then everybody in the room stood up and applauded) is, uh, a bit convenient?

It's absolutely fake, which is why Sapp reported it to ease tensions during this tough time when everyone's more focused on racist talent like Jaxson and Styles

The decision, obviously, was a Vince McMahon call. One source noted that Vince McMahon had been "very upset" and openly "frustrated" with Monday Night Raw of late. That series has taken the hardest hit in terms of viewership during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If it was fake, it would be HHH they said do that. Yeah there's probably some fluff, but I don't think it's fake.

My friend's sister is in the hospital right now because she went to night clubs cause "covid is over". But yeah WWE has acknowledged covid-19 at least one time, I think michael cole brought up some charity related to it.

Since noone is allowed to run a televised wrestling show except the same 5 or so people for the last 30 years, I'm wondering when Russo gets hired back to WWE and AEW picks up Hogan + Bischoff.

I didn't know NXT was doing a Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior WCW thing with Roderick and Dexter. Apparently Roderick can see Dexter Lumis in the crowd and we can as viewers but the rest of TUE can't. Who woulda thunk WWE would be the WCW of the Wednesday night wars.

Nah, he hid when Strong tried to point him out. They're not going that crazy with it.

Road Dogg did like the tweet though, so it doesn't seem entirely baseless.

The idea of Shawn pulling him aside to explain racism though is pretty amusing.
