That's some real "white people complaining they can't use the n-word" level shit that gives away the person saying it doesn't get (or doesn't care about) the difference in power between groups. Add in that women in WWE have mentioned wanting to do another all women PPV and he really comes off as an out of touch dipshit. Hey! Maybe is is fit to take over for Vince after all!

Man, I forgot they were doing an episode on the Dynamite Kid. Funny how it's almost like they undersold what a psycho he was by saying how Jacques Rougeau standing up for himself (and apparently getting Dino Bravo to have the mob threaten DK if he retaliated) seemed to fuck him up mentally. Dude seemed to be mentally incapable of dealing with the idea that someone would get tired of his bullshit.

Countdown to the "Paul Levesque is ALL ELITE" jpeg..........

I seem to recall him having pissy moments here and there, but it was the first time he was that way the entire conference. His comment about all the best women in the world either already being in WWE or wanting to be there is certainly making waves too. Britt already responded to it which is interesting considering her personal life.

I bet NBC/Universal loves hearing a WWE exec saying "watch it or don't" when they've paid like $2 billion for the Network/Raw/NXT.

Poor Paul, getting pissy because fans are trying to figure out where things are going because WWE either doesn't know or gives up on ideas midstream.

Three hours is a brutal slog for a weekly TV show no matter who's involved. Smackdown is showing that a show run by the same people can be compelling week to week, but how effective would the Tales of the Tribal Chief be if they had to pad it out to fill an extra hour every week?

Stock went way up because reddit nerds want to make it the next meme stock like Gamestop.

Yeah being in WWE seemed to really mess his mind up and he took some time off after that. This seems to be more him realizing there's more to life than wrestling and wanting to get out before the injuries pile up.

Yeah the only thing that seems to be edited (other than the music for obvious reasons) was Brian Pillman calling Johnny B Badd a homophobic slur before their match at Bash 91. That was done pre-Peacock I believe.

You're right, but I popped for the "You gonna let a guy in a jean jacket talk to you like that?" from Gargano tho. Kyle's gunning hard for Seth's title of "guy who thinks he dresses cool but looks like a dork" title.

NXT was good again this week. Poppy's another one from outside the business that gets it. Her segment with Dexter was great (plus we got a dual Hunter/Regal camera mugging moment which was also great), and having her be the one bringing Io back was done well too.

In those days it was common to use boxing rings for wrestling, so that's probably what's going on here. They also usually sucked to bump on since boxing rings were designed to have less give, which was a lot of the reason older wrestling was slower paced.

I just don't know why anyone would sign Kylie Rae at this point. I've fought my own battles with mental issues and I know how hard it is, but how can any company book her at this point? Unless of course this is another self own and the NWA isn''t big enough to set off her anxiety.

Oh I fully expect Vince to double down on it, I'd honestly be shocked if he doesn't because that's how Vince rolls.

It's gonna be hilarious when they have live fans booing this stupid shit like Lily. We should start a pool to see how fast the company goes from "we missed our fans" to "you idiots can't apricate great art like Lily the possessed doll!".

For as much as "Nick Gage is unsafe" has become a talking point, has there been any serious injuries in his matches besides David Arquette? The only other serious injury I could think of is when he almost bled out, but that was a freak accident.

Dude keeps caping for a company that just fired him, which is embarrassing no matter what the company is. If you feel you need so say something, thank them for the opportunity, thank your co workers and move on. Spending hours talking about all the ideas they obviously didn't see any value in makes you look like a high school boy thinking he can still win back the girl that just dumped him.

So they added stips to Lashley/Drew where they either take the belt off a guy who's been amazing for months and deserves to stay champ, or beat the guy who was carrying the show all last year and make him look like a chump.

Vince is gonna make her into British Bertha Faye and it makes me sad to think about it. Also I noticed the last few weeks that watching four hours of wrestling on Fridays (Smackdown and Dynamite) is a far easier task than watching three hours of Raw. I don't blame the folks who think different people are running Raw and Smackdown, they really do feel like separate promotions at times. If it wasn't for the frequent rematches Smackdown wouldn't seem like WWE at all.

Was anyone claiming he was set for life? Maybe he was being paid higher than his position on the card (and I kinda doubt even that), but set for life? I wouldn't take anyone seriously who made that statement. I thought it was a great bit of pro wrestling. Gage was talking shit about him on Twitter (which in retrospect was clearly setting this up), Cardona got the crowd to believe it was Mox for a moment, and the crowd reaction going from "OMG ITS MOX" to "HOLY SHIT ITS MATT CARDONA" to "WTF IS THE ACTION FIGURE GUY DOING HERE" to "OMG NICK GAGE IS GOING TO MURDER THIS GUY" was great.

This. Dave mentioned the whole deal came done to Vince not getting him so you're probably spot on here. I get him wanting to prove his ideas were worthwhile, but he's coming off as desperately trying to prove how much Daddy Vince loved him while trying to shit on the people who were pointing out the obvious is where it veers into "things you get dunked on for" territory.

They seemed to have another mini burst of uploading, now ECW TV from 93-96 is all up and they added more WCW shows.

It's not as bad since everyone knows basketball players are mostly all freakishly tall, what was really funny is when they went to do a photo opp with the Yankees and Aaron Judge towered over everyone. Then again, Lebron letting Taker wait outside the locker room in full gear like a mark was a pretty good LOL moment.

The only thing I can see that warrants him getting dunked on is him continuing to give examples that Plans Changed despite him saying that's just something the dirtsheets came up with.
