C.S.

It was an exaggerated Russian accent that's perfect for wrestling. It wouldn't work in a movie, and I don't think she'd try it there, but it worked for wrestling. Who didn't suck in that movie though? Only the very best actors can elevate crap, and while I think Lana is miles ahead of anyone in WWE in the acting dept., I'm not sitting here claiming she's Daniel Day-Lewis. Kane, of all people, was surprisingly good in another WWE flick - to the point where I actually wished he'd had a bigger role. In summary: Lana > Molly Ringwald. (No one will get that joke, but sometimes I like to amuse myself on PWO.)

Sorry, I did not mean to imply racism. I was making a joke about KawadaSmile designing a t-shirt with a smile on it. While that is definitely true, let's not act like WWE has any world class actors on the roster that could come close to anyone in Hollywood. (Well, Miz ain't bad...)

When did @KawadaSmile get hired by WWE? Did he design the Jordan "Smile" t-shirt? Seriously though... You know she's a professional actress who has been in real movies like "Pitch Perfect," right? She is a better actor than everyone else in WWE combined - especially Seth "Burn! It! Down!" Rollins.

Fine, put Russo in a ring with PAC or Callihan, and they'd be cheered and he'd be booed. Audience heat! No one really hates PAC or Callihan, but they all hate Russo.

True, but Oliver didn't make that distinction. All he said was that Russo is the only person in wrestling with real heat - and he is.

Not when everyone on the internet, including PWO, raves about Callihan's comeback with Impact. Any "heat" from the Eddie Edwards situation lasted all of five seconds. White only has "really, this guy?" heat - and I assume people are already changing their minds about that. And I did preface NJPW with "outside Japan." Russo has real heat. Not saying it's the kind of heat that means he should be brought back as a character to draw money with - of course not - but it's not a false statement, and your reaction proves it 100%.

Is he wrong though? Because I sure as shit can't think of a heel with actual heat in wrestling. It ain't Jericho, who the fans still love. It ain't Brock, who isn't so much hated as the company is for constantly overpaying him to sit at home for months at a time. It ain't Bray Wyatt, who the fans love despite being a heel. It ain't Seth Rollins, who no one cares enough about to feel any genuine morsel of heat for. It ain't anyone in NJPW (at least outside of Japan). It ain't anyone in Impact, NWA, MLW, ROH, etc. because they all get underdog love by the relatively few people following those promotions. Russo, though, he has heat, bro. It's the wrong kind of heat, bro. It's not the kind of heat, bro, that will generate revenue, bro. But it's still more heat, bro, than any of the above, bro. In all seriousness (...bro...), it's also perfectly fine heat for someone starting a podcast, because the bigger the trainwreck, the bigger the buzz and the bigger the views. If Russo goes completely off the rails, it can only help publicize Sean Oliver's relatively new podcast. In the early going, that's exactly what he should want.

There is definitely a scale - no one is saying otherwise, or at least I'm not - but surely you can see that Myles isn't helping himself by being so hypocritical. Don't get me wrong: I'm no fan of Jay Lethal - he's allegedly a sexual predator - but this still isn't a good look for Myles.

Racism is racism, period. Myles doesn't get a free pass to be racist to others just because he was the victim of racism himself.

"Nice guys" also don't call other people "Uncle Tom." (Jay Lethal is a scumbag too, but let's not act like two wrongs make a right here.)

Indeed, fuck Jay Lethal and Ring of Honor. But also fuck Albert C. Hardie, Jr. for being just as racist as he claims others are. As usual in wrestling, everyone's an asshole.

So, it was definitely Jay Lethal he was referring to? The tweet got taken down.

What did he say about ROH? Not seeing anything in any of the above tweets. (I'm pretty tired though, so forgive me if I missed something obvious.) Edit: Found it. f--k ROH TOO! The only allowed ONE African American to be the "Top Guy" while guys like @CedricAlexander TD, @Malcolmvelli and myself had to chase this visible carrot a stick. Name another African American who was reached great heights there other than this Uncle Tom: pic.twitter.com/bb3URXNtyc — Jordan Myles (@GoGoMyles) October 28, 2019 https://twitter.com/GoGoMyles/status/1188832139468591105 Looks like it was taken down though... Who is the "Uncle Tom"? He sounds like a real asshole himself using loaded racist terminology like this. Well, it's definitely supposed to be a mouth. Even WWE sideways admitted that by claiming it's "inspired by" Rolling Stones.

Old fucks like us. Let's not act like YouTube is this impenetrable fortress that's only accessible to people under 30.

"Road Dogg preferred the gray" is somehow hilarious to me. You wouldn't get a statement like that in a regular corporate setting. Obviously, the rest of the situation isn't even remotely funny. But man, ACH really DGAF anymore.

More from the former ACH: (Did he and PAC make a bet over who could have the shittier name?) Is he trying to get fired at this point, or angling for the Luke Harper/Mike Kanellis "get paid to sit at home" package? His anger about the design is justified, but wow, he really doesn't seem to give a fuck if he keeps his job or not.

My first reaction: Yeah, Jordan, you got a crappy shirt like 99% of the WWE and NXT rosters. So what? But then I had some had some coffee, stepped back, and realized what he was objecting to... WWE gonna WWE...

My thoughts: - Eddie Kingston has such a unique charisma about him, and his promo was awesome. - For all of the WWE's faults (and they are too numerous to list), they really do have the best women's division in the world - and it's not even close. AEW can't touch them. Impact and ROH certainly can't touch them. And the NWA definitely can't touch them. With that said, wasn't Marti Belle in a previous Mae Young or on an NXT show at least? I know I've seen her before. I am intrigued to see what the Darby Allin-looking Thunder Rosa brings to the table. Memorable look, at least. - Before NWA Powerrr, Jocephus was a pretty cool badass brawler. Now? I don't know what the fuck he is, or more importantly, why he's being presented this way. Is he being buried? Again, I realize he got his hair shaved in an angle, but his current "Zach Galifianakis from The Hangover" look isn't doing him any favors. - Colt Cabana has been awful so far, to the point where I retroactively agree with every awful thing Jim Cornette has ever said about him and I agree 100% with Punk dropping him as a friend no matter how petty his reasons might have been. Seriously though, this shit isn't working at all with what the NWA is trying to be now. I realize he's one of the guys who built the bridge during those lean years, and the NWA is showing him a loyalty he has surely earned, but he really needs to upgrade his lame act. Now I understand why he never made it in WWE and never would have even if Vince McMahon himself was behind him. - The jury is still out on Aron Stevens, who also seems like a misfit, but the fake straight-to-video movie trailers are promising. - Caleb Konley looked great a couple of weeks ago but was "just there" this week vs. Dan Parker. I like Parker's Canadian Maple Leaf trunks though. - Nick Aldis is an excellent Worlds Champion and representative of the NWA, and not deserving of any of the hate he gets. The Kamile angle is weird AF though. I have no idea where it's going. It seems like an abusive situation, which wouldn't work at all in 2019, so I hope they're smarter than that. - The Leather Daddies team is growing on me, just because we haven't seen acts like that since the early '90s heyday of WCW Saturday Night. - Tim Storm is the real fucking deal, and I love him so much. I hope he isn't bogged down in a team with Eli Drake though, or worse yet, used to set up Aldis vs. Drake (I really hope that isn't what the NWA plans to main event with at the next PPV). Overall: Nothing was "great" on this show (except for Tim Storm), but at under 50 minutes, everything flies by and it's still such a fun presentation.

Drew Gulak is a bore. Anything that makes him less boring is a good thing. The problem is, WWE has no idea how to create characters anymore.

Charisma-vacuum Cain winning the title would be even worse than Lesnar holding it.

While I agree with the gist of what @Superstar Sleeze is saying, we all know the internet would have cried bloody murder if Sasha's big return only set up a tag team with Nattie and nothing else the first night.

Did anyone else spot the Adam Cole cameo? Bay Bay!

Probably, but Hep C goes undiagnosed a lot of the time, so a wrestler's death - not exactly an uncommon occurrence to begin with - might end up being attributed to other factors. Thankfully, Hannibal caught it in time and was saved.
