There�s a lot to like about Naomi but my favourite by far is that she�s maybe the best example of someone whose real name is a million times more memorable than their wrestling name

WWE is just pushing people out the door to join AEW or the independents right now. Holy poo poo they're so stupid.

Paige will walk, which is of zero consequence to WWE, and everyone else will grit their teeth and take it like they always do

Sounds like a great opportunity for AEW to run a huge PPV the night before Mania in a different city and encourage all the indies to set up shop for the week

WWE and everyone else should have absolutely nothing to do with Rance but it kinda sounds like you think anyone trained by him should be blackballed out of the industry which is a really bad take

Ridge Holland is an English sports star called Luke Menzies, and they hired him because they wanted to capitalize on his status as an English sports star... by rebranding him with a dumb name they made up.

He played in the second tier league of the eighth most popular sport in the UK

WWE really going for the key demo of working class old men from Lancashire & Yorkshire

Warrington is the second-most-southerly team in the Super League. I will admit I was quite surprised to see what the most southerly one was.

I don't see how anyone can say Lana is being buried when she's never been presented as anything but a heel who can't wrestle. She's getting memorable spots every week and probably isn't capable of having good matches so what is a better use for her?

Being a heel manager, y�know the thing that got her hugely over in the first place?

AJ Styles too except WWE did things like "just put him in matches" and he waa so loving good despite being small they strapped their colours to him too. And he cant talk either. Just let the man loving work.

This is your reminder that Vince saw nothing in AJ Styles.

AJ weirdly turned into a pretty decent promo in WWE which defies expectations in multiple directions

Cults need to cycle between pretending that they care and acting nice, and doing everything they can to grind their members down and remind them they're worthless. When AEW first started WWE was throwing huge (compared to previous) contracts around and trying to look like the good guy. No prizes for spotting which part of the cycle WWE is in now, though.

But then again, they also screwed up the Nexus after an excellent start, to the point that people assumed The Shield would similarly have their potential squandered, and instead they went for a LOOOOOONG time at a high level. The WWE version of NWO, Nexus, Corre, now Retribution etc... it seems like The Shield was the exception that proved the rule when it comes to WWE's ability to actually book a stable of outsiders.

The Shield was saved by having Roman who they were 100% behind as their new ace, and by the three of them using collective bargaining not to get chumped out or split up

Retribution is made up entirely of nobodies so even if they organised for better treatment it would go nowhere

Remember when they had one of those and it ended with both members of one team as the legal men, one pinned the other and they were declared the winners

I wonder if Punk would've been an AEW success story like Mox if he'd decided to take the offer he was given.

no way

The amount of work Mox has put into being better in the ring since leading WWE is crazy. The amount of thought and passion that goes into his promos and character shows how much he loves where he�s at right now.

Punk clearly hasn�t got his heart in wrestling anymore - and I can�t blame him for that at all, but he definitely wouldn�t have put the effort in that Mox has, and it would have shown bigtime

I was in the music business in a ton of different roles for over a decade before COVID killed my dream jobs. I've seen and heard it all across 20 different countries. This Elias album is one of the worst piece of poo poo albums ever made. I expected some kind of bit, or something ironically funny like Macho Man's classic diss album "Be A Man".

This record Elias did is complete dogshit, embarrassing, poorly made and recorded, poorly written. It may be worse than Jeff Hardy's albums.

Was it basically this onion article?
