And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
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.

I think you know the answer to that question.

And afaik the transparent backpacks thing is on a per school basis. I have an unfortunately all too real experience with this and in my school's case this was only enforced for a year or so. This was, like, 15 years ago though at this point so who knows!

Don't forget old timers being held above any new emerging star

Imagine the hierarchy would be like

The Authority*
The Brand
Old Timers
Potential New Stars
Potential New Stars who are POC
Actual Jobbers

Yeah they'd ruin the Rock with the current product and management.

* Or whatever lovely name they have for themselves at the time, you know what I mean

Current WWE would have Rocky Maivia cutting happy to be here baby face promos from his debut until 2001 or 2002 where he would have been released unceremoniously. He'd probably be working at a car dealership right now.

But sadly it isn’t Sin City, DKR or Daredevil era “entertaining but problematic” Frank Miller but post 911 “holy poo poo he lost his mind and super friggin racist” Frank Miller. Ratings continue to plummet but Vince loves it and makes billions in between chasing people with his poopy diapers. Ricochet and Lana still happy to be there.

Also don’t google schools for prisons as ... Jesus.

It's so low-key compared to everything else that's happened but every once in awhile I remember that at the peak of Becky's rise they seriously ran an angle where she had to humiliate herself in front of Triple H and Stephanie for basically nothing and it's incredible all over again.

I still can't believe that happened. They demanded she apologize and... she just meekly did and then Vince came out and hosed her over anyway and apparently HHH and Stephanie were supposed to be the faces in the situation? :psyduck:

Smackdown Results 12/18:
  • Detailed Results here.
  • Kevin Owens opened the show warning Roman he was gonna gently caress him up at TLC. Paul Heyman retorted that Roman would gently caress Owens up. Owens said he was gonna go backstage and find Roman and gently caress him up.
  • Roman came to the ring after Owens left, then he and Jey jumped Owens when he came back and they hosed him up.
  • After a commercial break, Roman instructed Jey Uso to go finish off Kevin Owens for good.
  • The Street Profits (C) defeated Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode to retain the Smackdown Tag Team Titles. Ford pinned Roode while holding the tights, after Roode tried to do the same to him.
  • Lil' Naitch talked mad poo poo to Ziggler & Roode post-match when they tried to intimidate them and warned them they'd get suspended if they didn't back the gently caress down.
  • Jey Uso assaulted Kevin Owens with a chair.
  • Bianca Belair cut a promo on Bayley backstage. Liv Morgan told Ruby Riott she wants to fight Wonder Woman (the character, not the actor).
  • Riott Squad defeated Billie Kay and Tamina. Tamina.
  • Carmella did an incredibly awful promo, then Sasha Banks beat her rear end. The sommelier got involved, Sasha was dumb enough to start attacking him and Carmella hit her in the back with a bottle again.
  • Jey Uso put Kevin Owens through a table while he was being checked on by doctors.
  • Otis defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in a singles match despite bad advice from Chad Gable. The match in which Otis defeated one of the greatest wrestlers of all time was over in a few minutes and Corey Graves said it was "a little drawn out".
  • BIG E got his hands on the envelopes for Sami Zayn's "Sami Awards".
  • Sami Zayn presented The Sami Awards. The Year in Review was about Sami returning. Comeback of the Year was won by Sami Zayn. Match of the Year was won by Sami beating AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy. Superstar of the Year went to.... BIG E. BIG E beat up Sami when he tried to correct this.
  • Bayley defeated Bianca Belair in a singles match, after raking Bianca's eyes to get the advantage. Match was good with a less than stellar ending.
  • Kevin Owens interrupted Roman Reigns' in-ring promo, took out Jey with a chair and started fighting Roman, then got jumped by Jey who gave chairs to Roman who hosed Owens up with them. They then put Owens through a table, then Roman put him through a table again, then buried Owens under chairs, tables and ladders.
  • Roman left and was interviewed backstage, but got distracted by seeing Owens get back up with a mic and declare they couldn't keep him down and he would win the Universal Title at TLC or die trying.

I mean, I think he's pretty content and treating this entire WWE thing as his retirement years where he earns money while phoning it in and then loving about surfing and spending time with his family... but maaaaan Shinsuke Nakamura at his best was so, so loving great.

Has a japanese wrestler ever held the men's world championship?
