El-P Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Gotta love : 1/TKO lauching a boxing promotion with the Saudis. Really, it's just a matter of time before Mania happens in beautiful, progressive Djeddah. Gotta love the cognitive dissonance when that one happens (hell Rumble already happens next year, wonder if CM Punk will dance around that one) 2/Taker pulling his strings so his HOF wife (which in itself is funny already) replaces Mickie James in S2 of that reality TV show they are doing. 3/The Carmella stuff which really no one talks about because WWE is such a great place to work now and they treat everyone really well and have you seen the gates ? Wow. So great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 WWE = MAGA For those of you who are fortunate enough not to have heard of Tony Hinchcliffe (which is still most of America, I imagine), he's the unfunny racist idiot who called Puerto Rico "a floating island of garbage" during a Trump rally.

El-P Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 They don't even pretend anymore. Soon enough they'll have the Tate brothers in the audience. I'm sorry for anyone still genuinely enjoying the product despite its political agenda, but WWE (well TKO as a whole) are a full-on fascism supporting company at this point. Pro-wrestling of course is a just a blip on the radar, but this is just the worst timeline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Seriously, fuck this company. As bad as WWE was at its own, somehow TKO made it even worse. I finally cancelled my Network subscription a couple of months ago (not that I was interested at all in the current stuff, but the back catalogue kept me there) as I could not give that detestable company any more of my money in good conscience. Fuck them and fuck a lot of the people who work there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 If WWE has any brains, they will hire Gail Kim as a producer/agent either in NXT or on the main roster for their massive women’s division, now that she has been let go by TNA. And now that Vince is gone, she may actually take the job. Considering the huge amount of female talent they have in NXT, you have to figure Gail Kim would be invaluable as a coach.

El-P Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Why do you think TNA fired her ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thread Killer Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 I actually made the colossal mistake of going to Dave Melzer‘s Twitter feed to see what he was reporting about the TNA firings, but of course, aside from one throwaway line, he seems to be far too busy getting into stupid arguments with trolls about AEW vs WWE.

WWE is taking control. Whether it's for a buy-in at one point or just use it as a way to show how much they're not going for a monopoly *wink wink nudge nudge* and just keep it as a "friendly" promotion they can use, they are taking control. Which is why I would be shocked if Gail Kim ended up in WWE after this. Delirious had been in creative for a while, but I think he was just part of the creative team. Booking has sucked all year long last year, and has been especially shitty since last Summer. Which is another case of actual good product having zero to do with popularity. Anywoo, this sucks for the landscape. BTW, have you seen GCW is running a WWEID tournament during Mania week. Lauderdale and Effy sure got the most out of trashing AEW and TK. Well, their cred as "outlaw promotion" is completely shot, but there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shudder to think how much worse it’s going to get with Hunter Johnson totally in charge of creative now. He’s terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
