They never followed up on Gable killing the Shorty G name.

J-ru the OP says last month was September

Vince probably thinks there is nothing to follow up on and the point of the segment was to make him a short quitter, so an even bigger loser.

I clicked around the shop some and found this: Karrion Kross "Time's Up Tick Tock" Back To School Package

literally what the gently caress :psyduck:

If you didn't buy that already planning on shooting your school the bullying you'd get for it would convince you to.

If they keep doing what they did this week and just have him come out and beef it up, I'm fully onboard with Miro.

Edit: gently caress, this isn't the AEW thread!

So apparently Smackdown is going to be up going up against President-Elect Joe Biden holding a press conference, which means Fox is likely to air that instead of the show, and FS1 has a scheduled Nascar race so Smackdown might just get pre-empted entirely or end up on FS2.

Smackdown losing to aew on a technically would be kinda funny. I'd chuckle

Yep, Fightful. It's saying that when some wwe stars attended double or nothing that was their first covid test. The implication being that wwe was letting people work without being tested.

Good luck to him, he seems very much not wwe material so he'll either kill it or we won't see him for 5 years

Every match is scripted so Miz made the smart move. Otherwise Vince would be mad at him for going off script. Now it's Bray's fault for not following the script. Just cult life stuff.

If anything that makes Big E look small and the rest of the New Day look big.

Filling the group with the worst internet poisoned reddit trolls really was making a bad decision on top of a bad decision.

Her new WWE Network documentary.

It goes to something that a wrestler said to me the other day: WWE fans are *so* much more cruel to wrestlers on social media than other fans that it's astounding.

Also: That weird WWE dual reality where they acknowledge loving up CJ's life without actually acknowledging it's their fault...it's so hosed up and it creeps me out every time they do something like that in a documentary.

It's a cult. Cults attack anyone in it who isn't 110% dedicated and the worst fans think they're also in the cult.

And for a long time, and still true with UFC, they're really the only game in town at that level. Oh sorry, you want to practice your craft at the top level and want to be treated well? Guess you should go topple a monopoly.

I remember being at indie shows and Keith Lee getting huge chants for just like milling around in the crowd when his match wasn't on. Dude has all the potential and they're wwe-ing him hard.

Am I correct that he said part of his re-signing was that he'd get his butt rock entrance music back?

Can anyone here confirm or deny this??

I kind of remember that, yeah. He was excited to get his old music back

It's like those stories of people who come to the US but end up in really abusive jobs at like a nail salon except you know, it's a company worth billions and with TV contacts.

I have a vague memory of even Baszler getting extra makeup and a bit of a changed up look when she hit the main roster. Either way the change in their look was often the worst part of women being called up. One of the best parts of NXT was when they didn't have all of Vince's hangups on what a wrestler looks like.

They could all be 20 and getting pushed and would still be working a 75 year old man's idea of "good poo poo"

I’m not going to look up the ages of the NXT roster because they have about 80 people assigned to that brand, but it’s surprising how many guys there are in their Mid to late 30s already. There’s some young guys to be fair, but lots of guys that they should have pulled the trigger on by now too.

WWE's stranglehold for so long on wrestling is probably responsible for so many what ifs. So many people with real potential who just never got used.
