Dave is just torching Coachman on Twitter. That's amusing at least.

I'd still say the chances of this story blowing up are low. But it could have some legs given that Mauro has at least some profile outside of WWE and that our culture is much more sensitive to issues of bullying/mental illness than it was even 10 years ago.

I don't think that's quite right, because they've "gone deep" on leagues that are much more important to their business than WWE. I think it's more what hammerva suggested which is that they don't take wrestling seriously enough to bother maintaining journalistic standards with it. And their best writers and reporters also aren't pushing to cover it.

Yep.

I just saw that and loved it. He's absolutely right. They should be ashamed of their relationship with WWE. Oh come on this is a network that has talking heads justify the assault of women from NFL players. We are really expecting them to address bullying from a company that is a small piece of their collective pie They have a messy relationship with the NFL, no doubt. But they also employ a number of reporters who cover pro football thoughtfully and critically. So far, their relationship with WWE has felt almost entirely promotional, and yet they present their "coverage" side by side with legitimate journalism on other subjects. Yes, they should hold themselves to a higher standard.

So demoting him to NXT is actually a worse message then what it looks like what is happening now? No, definitely not worse than what's actually happening. Just didn't strike me as a solution.

They should not put him on NXT. That would essentially be demoting a guy because a co-worker preyed on his mental illness. Horrible message.

Ki is fucking amazing for a guy who now works a handful of times a year. He looked great in his surprise appearance at WrestleCon as well. I don't know how he stays so sharp athletically with so little ring time, but he's certainly adding to his legend.

Dave took a much stronger stance going after JBL and the company's bullying culture in this week's issue.

That was fine. They did what they could with it.

So is Taker going to formally retire at the end of this?

Rock promo anyone?

They obviously had zero faith in them to work an involved match. But as a minimalist bombfest, it was perfect.

Great opening if nothing else.

Orton/HHH?That was the one I thought of, and that went on last.

What a horrible match. What the fuck were they thinking when they laid that out?

I thought the ramp was dope at 7 pm. Now it's my mortal enemy.

What a dumb feud.

Peace be with you.

Or Braun's main show moment.

Love the crowd for booing Pitbull.

Yet Rollins gear > Rollins angry punches.

Jesus that Rollins gear is pitiful. Have some pride man.

Miz owns this crowd. Thing of beauty.
