NintendoLogic Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 If you're wondering where Drake's next stop will be, it won't be IWA-MS. Apparently, it's too woke for him now. Seriously. Imagine being such a piece of shit that Ian Rotten wants nothing to do with you. Having seemingly burned most of his bridges in pro wrestling, it looks like he's moving on to an even more lucrative con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 He is literally burying himself when he says he gets tired by attacks from snowflakes. That means that all the fragile crybabies actually manage to get to him. If nothing else, this is basic pro wrestling stuff. For that alone, he should never get booked in any wrestling promotion ever again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They whine constantly about the "woke mob" and "snowflakes" while normal people like me try to tune ALL OF IT out and certainly don't spend any time obsessing over these things It's a free country, Drake is free to be this version of himself. We'll see where he's at in a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 He's also promoting a t shirt company that uses stock photos of black people and replaces what is on their shirt with racist sayings like "racism will be over when black people stop being racist" and shit like that.

C.S. Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Alex Riley goes after Cena and Rock about unionization https://411mania.com/wrestling/alex-riley-shots-john-cena-rock-wwe-sports-entertainment-union-match/ He's the worst kind of advocate. Someone who may have a valid point or two but expresses it in the most counterproductive, ass-backward, damaging way possible and comes across sounding like an unhinged idiot.

Rah Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Alex is a conundrum to me, he seems like he should have been bigger than he was but his over-inflated ego is probably half the reason he never amounted to anything. Imagine thinking so highly of yourself that the WWE is dying to sign you but you're holding them off because you don't want to be part of a non-union company.

That's a great reason not to sign with them, but frankly, also a reason to say no and decide not to pursue wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 The Miz doesn't get enough credit for making people care about Alex Riley, Damian Sandow & John Morrison. When Alex Riley turned on The Miz finally, people lost their minds because they wanted to see The Miz get beat up so bad. It felt very old school.

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Damian Sandow doesn't get enough credit for making fans care about Damian Sandow. And since when did anyone ever care about John Morrison? Riley, I'll give him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 People cared about John Morrison in Impact, LU, and AAA. If we're talking strictly in WWE maybe, but lets not pretend he wasn't a star in other companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 It quite frankly amazes me how little the folks in WWE see in John Morrison. His LU run was fantastic, and he could be doing amazing things for them. Then again, minus the LU part, I just described half the roster at this point.

Rah Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 There was that rumour that Vince soured strongly on him after he didn't fight Batista over having a fling with Melina. At least some of that is true, as of 2011: Quote Former WWE creative team member John Piermarini stated in a blog post earlier this year that Vince McMahon believes John Morrison "can't kick anyone's ass in a real fight" and therefore won't achieve the success many feel he's destined for.... That's not the only criticism being levied towards "The Prince of Parkour" as many people within WWE feel he comes off as if he's performing in his matches, as opposed to fighting. Either you don't fight someone and you get relegated for the rest of your tenure or you instigate a fight and get future endeavored. Vince, everybody.

I don't know if he was working his way back from injuries or if he was really that bad, and the storyline of "you guys think I don't have anything left to give, well watch this!!" made it that much worse.

No one cared about him post Rhodes Scholars. No one cared about him post-Miz stunt double road in WWE, no one cared about him in TNA (and it was a disaster), NWA lol. Sandow has done nothing to make fans care about Damian Sandow his entire career. Literally the only two times he was over it was because of the other guy he was paired with and once separate, he tanked immediately.

Well, based on Kofi Kingston's story about how he got pestered by Vince during an international flight to the point that Kofi had enough and wanted to fight with him - that being the moment he earned Vince's respect, according to Kofi -, I tend to believe that it's something that is more than plausible.

sek69 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Vince loves when people stand up to him and/or tell him to GTFO, but creates a culture in his company where everyone's afraid to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not lying. One of the biggest issues in my opinion with modern professional wrestling.

Migs Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 They are really cleaning out the bottom of the roster. https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/wwe-releases-14-wrestlers-fandango-tyler-breeze-tony-nese-345176 As always - never want to see anyone lose their job, and god knows WWE has enough money, but I do think it's good for wrestling for WWE not to hoard talented people who can make other shows better.

sek69 Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 So I guess we can add Vince to the list after Ric Flair of the people who look like shit on WWE TV but not nearly as bad in person.

strobogo Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Everything about that pic is bizarre. Vince going to a comedy show at all. Vince going to a Dave Chapelle show. Vince taking pics with the opener. Vince in jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Maybe he was scouting comedy writers to try to replace the chick who got fired for talking about how she had no idea who Bobby Lashley was on a podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
