KawadaSmile Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'd argue having TTT does more harm than any Saudi show (which are also bad!) but I'll just be quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thread Killer Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 If it wasn't for YouTube and Larry Csonka's recaps I'd have no idea what was happening on either Raw or Smackdown. I gave up on Raw ages ago and I was able to sit through exactly one episode of Smackdown on Fox before I gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Really good NXT tonight. Garza/Lio was hate-filled and awesome. Full sail was going nuts and Garza is a star. Dakota/Mia was also good and featured a crazy bump by Mia doing a backdrop driver on Dakota through a table. The main event was fine with a great finish. Even Breezango/Bollywood boys were good. Next week should be a crazy week in the Wednesday night war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheesy, corny, and probably bad, but it's just checks all the entertainment boxes somehow. 11 hours ago, Tim Evans said: Really good NXT tonight. Garza/Lio was hate-filled and awesome.

Garza is one of those dudes who just has "star" all over him, and the feud with the equally gifted Rush was a blessing. It just had everything you could ask in a memorable feud: a man messing with someone else's family, a proposal after a match and stripper pants. Amazing content. 1 hour ago, Jmare007 said: The hell?

sek69 Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 I could easily see Lana end up in one of those "work themselves into a shoot" scenarios with this. She seems pretty high maintenance IRL and I can see her getting shoot offended that a guy like Punk had her name in his mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't asked about the inside skinny on this but not giving or missing a sample is an automatic fail. It is far easier to be in the system and being used on TV regularly than not. A minefield if you are out of that specific routine. Primo's local/assigned doctor on the island might not have available for whatever reason. Things might legal in Puerto Rico that aren't in the US or on the Wellness list. I do know there's a dedicated in-house app that you scan supplements with that displays what is and isn't approved by the WWE Wellness policy.

Well, except I was actually underlining WWE's hypocrisy on those matters, as the second half of the sentence shows. The entire post is sarcastic actually, I don't know how it can fly over anyone's head. And The Tribute to the Troops still were awful propaganda shows though.In a way like KawadaSmile said, those shows were even worse than any MBSMania. Support the american imperialism and unjustified warmongering politics people ! Get Hacksaw Duggan here NOW ! (actually, it reminds me that the very first time I was embarrassed to watch pro-wrestling was during the Iraki angle in 1990) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 I'm no fan of American imperialism, but like many entertainers who are/were against endless war, I tend to veer on the side that believes shows like Tribute to the Troops and USO tours can and should exist not so much to show the support for the war, but to show support for the people who are away from their families, serving our country. I know its corny, but its the old "Support the Soldier, Not the War" thing and, as I do have extended family in the military, I feel pretty comfortable saying that the troops on the ground are not living high on the hog and their families do make sacrifices and they don't all share the same "Nuke Em' All" worldview (though, obviously, like in any profession or working for any company, there's an undeniable pressure for some level of indoctrination of that company's tenets - for example, I'm a public school teacher and, over time, I've become pretty staunchly pro-union and pro-public education, two things that I definitely wouldn't have considered being important to me before entering the profession). That being said, I do hope that the WWE are able to bring the same level of performers and production to the troops this year when it is untelevised. That, to me, would be more telling and worthy of criticism if they don't. Supporting the troops by bringing them a fun holiday show shouldn't be a PR move.

Log Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Stephanie's clueless tweet a couple years ago has damned anything WWE does to being a cynical PR move.

But, even if the move isn't done with the purest of intentions, at least someone who needs help gets something at the end of the day.

sek69 Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Yeah, the Connor's Cure stuff for example is pure "look at us doing good stuff" corporate grandstanding, but it does benefit Children's Hospital here in Pittsburgh so I can handle seeing all the masturbatory video packages knowing it helps kids in my town who are in bad situations. Honestly, it's why John Cena has my respect since he does tons of charity work with little to no publicity because he seems to be a good dude rather than to give WWE positive pub. When Troy Polamalu played for the Steelers there were always stories going around of him just randomly showing up to visit sick kids just to brighten their day and I always have a ton of respect for famous people who don't have to do that who do it just because they want to.

Well, with that, I guess she has to be out of Takeover Blackpool II. I don't know how severe the attack was but if I go by when my grandmother had hers, it took her at least a month to get back to normal.
