Pretty sure he had a feud with the mountie at one point.

He even sent the Mountie to jail where he was locked away and mistreated and mocked by the people in charge of him. Ali had a similar experience on 205 Live.

I generally just like to be transparent about everything. I like to just be honest. There's no shame in having got it. Again we don't know what's going on with anything. We're all trying to figure it out. So when I tweeted that I had it, I wasn't doing it as, like, 'I GOT COVID.' That was not my MO when I tweeted. It was mostly, 'Hey, I have it.' Also, in case there were people that could've been around me and maybe seen that I had it, I felt a responsibility to make sure people knew that I was sick. But, yeah, it was NOT well received. They weren't even like 'You shouldn't have posted it.' But it was like, 'We wish you gave us a heads up.' It was bad for PR and whatnot. But again, I wouldn't have even thought to be like, "Hey guys, I'm gonna tweet that I have Covid, ha, ha. Like, that was just not what I was thinking about when I posted it.

Listen, anything I say on this is gonna end up seeming like controversial or like I'm making GBS threads on it or whatever, but, yeah, did I feel a little slighted? I didn't really feel like anyone was all that concerned that I got sick. That bothered me for sure. But, you know, it's hard to say. Again, it's like, poo poo, the show goes on and now they're working at the Amway Center and they're essentially doing the best that they can NOW. Now doing the proper tests. I think that was something that should've been implemented from the beginning. Since everything that's gone down and however many people ended up getting sick, now it feels like a much safer environment. Even when I was there for SummerSlam, I was definitely less concerned about it knowing that everyone in the building has been properly tested with the nose swab and whatnot.

It was shocking. It really shocking to see that this was deemed essential business. That made it seem like, hold on a second here. I was not traveling for a while. I was doing stuff from home. I was like, 'I just don't need to be there.' Especially when you look at what I was going on the shows at that time. ... For me to fly from Las Vegas to Orlando when you have Kayla Braxton local in Orlando, you have Sarah Schreiber local in Orlando, Charley Caruso was spending most of her time in Florida, there were hands on deck that didn't have to travel, so for me to feel like I had to actually still had to get on a plane and go do it was like, "Oh my God. For what? What are we doing here? It felt insane to me.

Bro, he just went down the wrong path by kids and a lot of them get peer pressured by a lot of different stuff and different people and stuff around him and things like that. He just got peer pressured and influenced by the wrong things, man. We gonna get him out and get him back the right way, you know what I’m saying? Get him back to the light. Some people need a lot of guidance, man, you know what I’m saying?

Dave Meltzer on house shows posted:

What I heard was that WWE was thinking about cutting everything way back — even when things go back to normal, cutting way, way back on live shows. I don’t know if they’ll eliminate them completely. I don’t know if they’ll totally eliminate house shows, but the idea I think of four days a week doing house shows for maybe forever at least for WWE and AEW will never do that schedule anyway. I think it’s a different world it’s gonna be… you know the Japanese groups may do it, but I think it’ll be a big event business and not a rank and file house show business going forward.

Dave Meltzer on NXT posted:

I know that a couple of months ago there was a meeting with Vince to discuss this very issue, and at the meeting I mean it was like ‘move to another day we’ll have better viewership and a bigger audience.’ On that day it was shut down for all the obvious reasons that, you know, what was it put on TV in the first place for?

FTR were on Vickie's podcast

FTR posted:

Vince wants to hear ideas. Whether he wants to use them is up to him. But, the 130 people that you have to go through to give those ideas, they are so afraid to be face to face with him. It blows my mind. I understand he is an enigma. I understand he’s created his own legacy in the minds of people in the business. But, they are so afraid of losing their job because they pitch an idea but want to stay as low key as possible because they want to get a paycheck the next week. That is sad.

I went to a house show in Birmingham in 2018. It was cool to go to a live show with friends and experience it together. Finn and Drew were both crazy over, Elias sang Wonderwall for like the 100th time and I got the whole crowd to chant gently caress YOU CORBIN which was fun. It got blown out of the water by Royal Quest a year later though.

Demi Burnett (the Batchelor lady Angel Garza wants to bang) spoke to Pro Wrestling Sheet

Demi Burnett posted:

Of course! I would love to be a WWE Superstar. I’d definitely have to go through some training, because I’m pretty weak right now. I’m starting to try working out a little bit, just in case anyone wants to offer me a position. But yeah, it was always my dream to be a WWE Superstar.

It’s more intense though in real-life than it looks on TV. Whenever you watch it in real-life, you’re like, ‘Wow, these people are putting their bodies THROUGH it.’ I think I could do it though. I think I could have the right attitude and whenever I put my mind to it, I can be very athletic. I would definitely give it a shot. I would at least try it. I would never be able to forgive myself if I didn’t take a chance and give it a go.

Oh yeah that Birmingham show also had Pete Dunne defending the UK title against Mark Andrews before NXT UK was a regular show so they went out and put on a legitimate 4*+ banger. It was awesome (but not as awesome as the Grizzled Young Vets/South Wales Subculture tag match I saw at an indie show a few months later)

I thought Xavier had worked a lot to keep UUDD free from WWE's hands so he could maintain it as a business if he ever left the company?

Akam and Rezar will probably do really well in Japan once the pandemic lifts. They've got the big beefy look that promotions over their love. Like, NJPW still hasn't found anyone to replace KES.

If they were concerned about spoilers/company info you would just do a statement saying not to say company info online or else you'd be fined. This is 100% controlling talent and trying to squeeze more money from them

Yeah this may be the justification but I bet Vince has wanted to do this for a long time. Talent being able to make an income away with WWE means they have more freedom and leverage against the company. Vince wants his talent to be entirely dependent on him because they won't be able to make any trouble.
