Do you think Seth licks the boot because he's HHH's favorite toy or he's HHH's favorite toy because he licks the boot?

What an unstoppable juggernaut he's becoming

I guess Corbin needs to become a movie star and quit wrestling, just to completely break Vince and ruin WWE booking forever.

Outside Matt playing different characters which is hardly magical and BTE, isn't the one appearance of the lake's water in AEW a comedy bit during a lighthearted cinematic match?

Or was I supposed to take the match with the horse, the milk and the judas effect on a hip thrusting mascot totally seriously? Did I miss some other stuff when I wasn't watching? And seriously how did Seth get so loving bad? Were Dean and Roman previously proofreading his tweets?

I like that Matt is trying to help by pointing out that you should either lean into sports or entertainment, but the eye thing did neither and ruined a pretty good match.

Though him mixing up "its" and "it's" is kinda driving me nuts.

If only there were some other storyline in AEW involving someone being blinded that Seth could have compared this to.

Seth semi-admits that the hell in the cell match wasnt good but all his explanations are like... the lights and the cell effecting his workrate. I've never had a complaint about his work rate, its eeeeeeeeeeeeeeverything else so I don't think thats what he needs to improve.

Yeah. The stipulation wasn't entertaining and it's like, not sports-oriented. Seth and Rey had a good match going on and they should have just leaned into them wanting to beat the crap out of each other, which makes sense and can be told in the sporting aspect.

The Lake of Reincarnation is purely for entertainment, and that's why it works.

I started watching pretty late in The Shield's first run but typically Dean Ambrose did most of the talking for the group and hey would you look at that

It is not professionally responsible of Seth Rollins to acknowledge these issues. We should probably be thankful WWE is so terrible creatively. Makes it easier to sever.

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.

Also remember that he was a man that couldn't cut it in the WWE. It's not like he could have gone out and done some big tournament in another promotion, and even if he did I'm sure all his matches would have been terrible.

The year is 2025, if man is still alive, absolutely zero people watch WWE anymore. All the wrestlers have left the business. Raw is 3 hours of an empty arena being filmed with cameras shaking wildly. WWE posts record profits.

This is horrifying as I could see it happening. I could see the entire earth being consumed in fire and the only things still around are Vince McMahon forcing cockroaches and rats to fight for his amusement while Kevin Dunnbot v3.0 managed 1000 jump cuts every 10 seconds.

I am 100% sure he genuinely believes everything he tweets. HHH and Vince work the same carny magic on him that they do everyone else.

Related: I watched season one of Dark Side of the Ring again. All were good but the Fabulous Moolah was legit depressing. Wendi Richter getting screwed showed that Vince is still the exact same guy running the exact same playbook. Real depressing were the tales of two of the former wrestlers: Princess Victoria and Sweet Georgia Brown. You got to meet Georgia Brown's son and daughter. The son was doing great with himself though was a little sad as he talked about Moolah telling him that his real dad was her late husband Buddy Lee. Brown's daughter talked about not only prostitution but being fed drugs and alcohol which lead to lifelong issues. Later on was another wrestler, Princess Victoria, who talked about after getting injured during a match and found unable to compete in the Ring, Moolah pressured her to do whatever it takes to please a client. She would still take a cut of the money this guy exchanged for a good time. Girl went on the date but didn't sleep with the guy (she actually threatened the guy who came in her room late at night) and later refused Moolah's second suggestion to please the clients. Moolah booted her out with less than 20 bucks and the clothes on her back. At the end of the episode they asked her "Was Moolah a pimp?" Victoria said "Hell no. That would make me a prostitute!" Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing.

The entire concept of the match makes zero sense in any way shape or form. Why would WWE sanction a match where the objective is for one of their top stars to be permanently disfigured?
