Kenny can be a dork at times, but dude always delivers in the ring. He basically had the match he does in AAA with Jungle Boy and made him look like a million bucks in spite of losing. The usual suspects will probably never give him credit, but he's proven to be able to give top level performances in three different countries while basically wrestling different styles in each. There's really not that many people in wrestling now (or really ever IMO) who could do that.

They would split up couples all the time in the draft until Charlotte said that didn't work for her, brother. Now they try to keep couples on the same brand (as long as they are both on the main roster at least). The one exception currently is Corey Graves and Carmella, but that was more due to their constant need to keep fucking around with the announce teams.

True, but it's not like WWE doesn't have a track record not liking people of different card levels mixing. Mostly romantic relationships to be sure, but it's clear as a company they expect the lower card guys to look upon everyone above them on the totem pole as career goals instead of people to associate with. Also it's weird to me anyone would see Tyler Breeze as anyone to stay away from. He seems like one of those dudes everyone likes or at least has nothing bad to say about. The company trusted him enough to be the guy who got to work with Liger when he did his bucket list WWE/NXT match.

Possibly, but the part about coaches makes it sound like it was mostly WWE bullshit. Like they were trying to discourage being friends with him because Breeze was a comedy jobber and Woods was a upper mid card/borderline main event guy as part of New Day.

Yeah he mentioned in his post-release interview that Drake was trying to order him around when he had no authority to do so and he just looked him in the eye and told him not to talk to him like that. Apparently after it happened he was afraid he just flushed his chance away but a lot of folks came to him to give him props for telling him to STFU.

So I was able to grab tickets for Rampage, if the Ticketmaster site was anything to go by it looks like they sold nearly all the floor seats and about half of the bowl already on day one, which would seem to be a decent sign.

Also I just wanted to give this some love, as this line popped me as the resident Mortal Kombat fanatic.

I hate to be "that guy" but it really seemed like most of the shitstorm was fueled by people mad that a woman was hired to write their rasslin' show, since pretty much every other WWE writer who has ever done a podcast or interview has said pretty much the same thing she did and none of them got that kind of shit for it.

I guess the "we don't care who they're married to" part meant Killian Dane (Mr. Nikki Cross), he just got axed.

He's trying to run WWE like an actual business and not a carny sideshow that keeps people employed for years and doesn't do dick with them. The problem is he's doing it the usual corporate soulless way and doesn't take into account that cutting someone like Tyler Breeze (who on paper is expendable) may cause people like Xavier Woods (who's part of one of their big merch sellers and does tons of publicity stuff that benefits the company) to tell them to fuck off in the future.

It's just the usual good cop/bad cop nonsense, just that Khan is more willing to accept the bad cop role than others.

Breeze was basically the #2 person on UUDD after Woods himself, Since he's stated WWE owns the UUDD franchise, I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave when his deal ends since he's arguably as known in the gaming world if not more than wrestling and already has a hosting gig lined up for the new G4.

Tyler Breeze is surprising since he seemed to be the guy they would have as a player-coach in NXT to be the veteran who gives reps to the newbies.

Also this round of cuts makes it seem like 205 Live and/or Main Event might have its days numbered.

WWE famously doesn't like to hire writers that know about wrestling. This woman getting so much shit about it instead of it being directed at WWE for having it be a prerequisite is fucked up.

My condolences to the Francophones on the board in their time of mourning.

He stood up to Drake Wuertz trying to push him around so that probably doomed him in WWE.

Well Tyler Rust is only 34, that's practically a toddler by WWE standards.

I know, right? And if they had one, it certainly wouldn't be NXT since Uncle Paul told his repeatedly that they aren't developmental.

I think it speaks volumes that a lot of the people I saw falling for it were also tagging Cornette all "LOOK YOU WERE RIGHT, JELLY NUTELLA IS QANON!"

No matter your feelings about Kross, it's so typical WWE to take everything away from someone that helped them get over. Word was this was set up so WWE higher ups (I'm guessing Vince, Bruce, and Dunn) could see him in action so of course they make sure he looks as bland as possible.

Janela dressed up as a stereotypical "Florida Man" and trolled the school board meeting Drake Wuertz and pals are always at, and a lot of places reported it as him being actually q-pilled.

Except for the famous "BUT WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON?" from Bobby Heenan when Hogan came out, which was 100% in character for a guy who literally had most of his career based around feuding with Hulk so of course *he* would be the one person to let the paranoia seep through.

Vince loves when people stand up to him and/or tell him to GTFO, but creates a culture in his company where everyone's afraid to do so.

He's like a wrestling version of "you'll never be Denzel, but you could be Denzel's friend". Dude was great as someone's sidekick, on his own not so much.
