Bruh the exchange rate is insane. 10,99 American Dollars is expensive - plus RAW and SD air on Fox Sports, so I would be paying for PLEs. The library is great, but work consumes most of my time.

No problem bubba. But I feel ya. It's easy to feel alienated by a product which is just diametrically opposite to your world views - watching the World Cup would be tough even without being held in Qatar, as CBF is just full of shit, but given the human rights violations going on at scary levels, it's even harder to care about the event as a consumer. As for the workers, I dunno. How much of the money are they seeing? Apparently it's a flat rate for the company, and how is the % split? I feel that it would be more appropriate to just hold the actual decision makers accountable rather than the workers, as we know they could get the shaft as soon as WWE saw fit. It does suck tho, even as I watch the matches through PERFECTLY LEGAL AND TOTALLY NOT PIRATED MEANS it's nearly impossible to not have this lingering feeling in the back of my mind: "I wish this was done elsewhere". The only one who's absolutely not going there is Sami Zayn.

He mellowed out, from what I've heard. Still douchy, but not the massive piece of shit he once was. Roman vs Logan was good stuff. Main event Reigns is still supreme.

It's bad, and to me it really doesn't stray too far from jingoist Tribute to the Troops shows (as they end up being more like pure propaganda, sometimes war propaganda even). Cena was having a whole 'Murica Fuck Yeah entrance against Rusev, there were many Soviet/Muslim stereotypes as heels etc, so the point is that actual US geopolitics spilling over to a big live entertainment business doesn't reaaaally surprise me, even if it is a horrible thing.

Kingston never getting to make Jericho tap at Blood and Guts pisses me off to this day, specially as the feud continued on and on and on and on and he's looked less and less important.

I know why: BIG MEATY MEN BUMPIN MEAT

On that note, TK is either widly clueless about what the fuck is going on his locker room, or he just doesn't care. Not sure which is worse, because if WE saw shit unfold way before All Out, it's obvious he was seeing it too.

Yes, but at the same time Arn isn't just limited to being a retired professional wrestler. He was also a road agent, was a terrific talker, and can lay out a match like no one else's business. I get your point that one could and should look up to more contemporary peers who are slightly older, and not from different generations altogether, but with Arn I feel like a missed opportunity. Like, it's similar to what happens in other sports - you can have a great coach in the 90s or 00s, but even if they are massively successful, it doesn't mean that it will translate to the 10s or 20s. Some, however, are great in just about any era. In that regard, I see Arn similar to someone like Gregg Popovich, who has been coaching the San Antonio Spurs since 1996. He has coached some of the greatest talents in basketball history since the 90s, and despite the team not having the same caliber of generational talent, he ALWAYS extracts the most out of every single athlete he's coaching. He's old, but knows how to adapt and stay in touch with what's going on.

Regarding Shibata/Bryan, I just wanna see them grapple. But at the same time both guys are insane enough to just say fuck it and start headbutting each other, so I totally get the concerns.

Hmmm I'm not sure but Roman's reign is the best one of all time.

In the interview he doesn't just talk about himself, but also mentions Arn Anderson. Like, is no one going to listen to that guy?

Listen. All TK has to do is book Shibata vs Bryan Danielson. I don't give a fuck about when or where. If he doesn't, he is a coward.

That was absolutely Jericho's idea.

J E DOUBLE F J A DOUBLE R E DOUBLE T THE CARNY GOAT

Man, I bet that dude was caught in a blizzard.

To this day one of the wildest fucking things I've ever seen.

They moved Rey vs GOONTHA to this week's SmackDown so I am sure Rey Rey had INSIDER INFO.

They released Bodhi, what the fuck?

Baron Corbin made lots of money, and JBL also had that angle going on for him. It would make more sense if Corbin didn't dress like a damn goober (or if it that angle were made with Cameron Grimes)

Roman is the GOAT, bubbas. The Tribal Chief. The Head of the Table. The Big Ucey Dog

He beat crooked referees. He beat the odds. He beat the machine and the system. The heel was using foreign objects, had a 3 on 1 handicap, and still lost. He was away from the ring for over 10 years and still came out on top for one last ride. Meu presidente é Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Juice Robinson could've been a great upper-mid babyface act. I have no fucking idea why they turned him heel. I guess Bullet Club is just in a perpetual nWo 2000 state.

I respect the Riverdale cast. The plotlines there make absolutely no sense whatsoever and despite there being a modicum of self-awareness, the actors never wink at the audience. Imagine Fiend Lore + Dungeon of Doom + Ministry of Darkness

It's the biggest babyface comeback ever, bubbas.
