Vince's people told Renee to not approach Vince again without make up on after she did once.

I know we all agree on this but please just let me scream it because I am so tired.

Stuff about good people dying young is a weird derail and not worth pursuing, so don't.

Anyway, I think every member of the roster should stop wearing make-up for at least a week so they're told to stay away from Vince, and then they don't ever have to be anywhere near Vince. It's win-win!

Because they saw that AEW had the best street fight in years and WWE are chronically unable to come up with good ideas of their own so they just ineptly ape the competition?

I feel like it is time to post that “I am not owned” meme.

Still hoping Ric is playing the long con as otherwise it’s so bloody depressing.


Yet more proof that all of WWE is just for an audience of one guy. He inherited his fathers toys and is now approaching Monty Burns levels of super villainy

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Not to defend Vince, or his insanity, but from that article it is a tiny bit less sexist than I thought.

I initially thought it was "I'm Vince McMahon dammnit! You, a woman, will only be seen by me when you have made yourself attractive in a way I deem fit.". And whilst there may be an element of that, it was more "This is the WWE dammnit! We do things in a special way where you will get less than no time to prepare for going on live national television, and we won't tell you about this until 3 seconds before air time. Also we won't train you or help you". Which is still a hosed up way to treat your employees/talent/performers.

Why are all WWE themes horrible now that they got rid of CFO$?

This just showed up on my YouTube Feed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU5jvRmjOvQ

Everything sounds like an action movie score. It takes 15 seconds to get into the song. And then goes into 4 different musical phrases before repeating. What is the hook of the song? What is the recognizable part that you hear and instantly know who it is that is coming out? Why are these themes so horrible? You're 45 second in and you've heard 5 different melodies

This sucks. I always get a kick out of the standard 15 second leadup before the song actually starts to allow the talent time to get in position and get ready to do the thing with their hands that they're supposed to do when the music cue hits. It's like every one of these new songs of theirs I hear that sound exactly like this.

Early reviews on Steam are "mixed" but there's only ~40 of them right now. Common complaints seem to be a good amount of microtransactions in an already too expensive game for what you're getting out of it. Not much depth as far as wrestler customization goes or anything like that. Sounds like it at least plays without crashing which is a one-up from the 2K series

From what I've saw from NL's stream it's super rough and unpolished, but there's a nugget of a decent game system there.

So the Vince and Trump definition of a self-made man.

Def rebel sounds like he listened to exclusively Sublime when he was in college and just never let it go.
