I can't decide if this tweet is funnier in the context of a response to whoever tweeted about chasing MOTY status and Meltzer star ratings or Wrestle Kingdom putting out actual MOTY candidates as we speak. :allears:

I might end up going back over the last 3 months of RAW to see what their rankings system would look like. Hard to put weight on significant wins/losses when everyone is booked 50/50 though

Please don't spend more time on WWE booking than WWE does itself.

e: Oh yeah it was a Jay White interview that was quoted in the tweet I was referring to

Good point. I shouldn't blame him for being loyal to a company that's been good to him, which in WWE's case is a rare feat.

Nah you totally can still blame him. He's got boomer bootstraps mentality where because they made it and/or were in the right place at the right time, anyone else can despite being actively held down.

Apparently Cardi B and Sasha Banks ended up chatting amicably via twitter at each other after Cardi B was talking about she hadn't watched wrestling in years. I wonder if WWE will ignore this or try to make out they're best friends and drive it deep into the ground?

Legit wonder if they'll try reaching out to Cardi B or if they'll just do the "hey we were acknowledged by someone famous" and show the tweets on-air.

no Lana vs Tables discussion is complete without her tweets about how hard she trained and how ready she was and how excited she was to finally get her moment, then the heartbroken tweet after they pulled her from the match

also her standing there as the "winner" of survivor series

that angle had a lot of angles, if u get me

Didn't she break down in tears on a Twitch stream about it too? I remember some heartbreaking video about it.

250k a year is a lot, but given how hard the WWE schedule breaks down peoples' bodies I'm not sure if it's worth it long term. And add the fact that they can apparently just fire you at any time if Vince needs to dupe the investors again and it seems like a pretty bad deal overall.

Don't forget they have to pay for all their travel and lodging out of that salary. Which is a huge chunk out of that pay.

Doesn't WWE hate when fans do the countdown? Or was that just because Rollins/Ziggler was a boring-as-poo poo Iron Man match?

Remember that report that Vince was high on Dominik as he was popular with the female demo cause I'm pretty sure it was because he's the only guy under the age of 35 on the main roster

Otis at age 29 and Dominik at 23 were the only wrestlers under 30 in that Rumble.

Also, isn't Rey/Dominik the first time there's ever been a father/son combo in the Rumble? Surprised they didn't make a bigger deal of that.
