WWE TV 09/21 - 09/27 Liverpool and Bayern are just gonna dominate European football, aren't they?

[Burgundy LaRue]

Take any interview on a WWE podcast with a block of salt, folks. Guaranteed at least half of it is in character and blurs the lines.

Besides, Roman was saying RAW is a cheeseburger and SD is fillet mignon. That if fans prefer a 'fast food' story like a cheeseburger, watch the red show. If anything, he was being critical of RAW (in character, IMO) and many would agree with him on that.

[SirEdger]

Is WWE really considering moving out of the Amway Center? Considering that the NBA & NHL aren't starting back until January, why don't you try to extend the deal with Orlando until the end of the year while giving you more time to find proper venues again? 

[Burgundy LaRue]

Supposedly, they're thinking about moving to an amphitheater in Tampa. But there are also rumors of them starting to travel again.

"My brother SLAPJACK." My fucking sides. You know what, I respect his commitment to playing this lameass gimmick completely straight without trying to be self-aware and winking at the audience.

Well, CM Punk is a punk-ass bitch for going after young wrestlers who have zero leverage. 

Yes, the gimmick sucks, but it's different if you or I go after it - no one cares what we think - vs. Punk, who is an elder statesman that today's wrestlers grew up idolizing. 

It's cowardly bullshit by Phil Brooks, pure and simple. 

[FMKK]

Eh, he's dunking on a shitty gimmick on Twitter. It's not like he killed someone.

Not a fan of that option, considering the uptick in infection in half of the United States. If they move to that amphitheater in Tampa, fine; they'll be outdoors just like AEW with Daily's Place and you won't run any more unnecessary risks of another outbreak like they're dealing right now at the PC.

Indiana has gone to their full reopening phase. I think that includes fully attended live events. They should just run it as a loop for a while.

And by should, I mean all of this is absurd and terrible.

Wrestlers gonna die

Worst governor in the entire fucking country. 

The sad part is, his opponent was a crackhead who got caught naked and unconscious at an orgy, so the state was screwed either way.

FL sucks. 

[rovert]

I've been hearing "Tampa" WWE wise since July. I never heard the venue though and I've fuck all local knowledge either.

But Jon a local Florida reporter eventually came forward with the likely venue MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre:

Jon Alba has been pretty reliable lately when it came to WWE stuff in the past few months....wasn't he one of the first who broke the Sonya Deville stalker story?

It was another local reporter but was on top of the story too.

It's so awkward that everyone has to act like Sami just took the last six months off for shits and giggles. It either makes everyone seem stupid for not acknowledging the obvious, or it makes Sami wanting to avoid covid a heel move.

Which is probably exactly how the company views it.

Even Roman's a heel now after doing the same thing.

[sek69]

Afa and Sika may both be in their mid 70s but they both look like bad dudes. 

[MoS]

Does anyone remember that crazy rumour from years ago when Roman was main eventing WM for the first time against Brock, about how Afa and Sika were furious that the finish got changed and wanted to beat up people backstage.

Some of them old dogs can still kick ass. I bet Meng and Barbarian also have old man strength.

 

Bless Lexi. She is saving that Fiend angle.

[KawadaSmile]

Also, Jey/Roman kicks ass.

[sek69]

As someone who's best friends in grade school where identical twins who HATED being asked "which one are you", I felt Jey's promo on another level.

You can see Sika say something like "We won't take this lying down" to Roman at the end of WM34.

[Strummer]

Actually it was wm 31 where Sika was apparently upset at the finish of Brock/Roman. It was reported that Roman was under the assumption he was going over until the morning of the show (Mania 31) until they changed the finish late and Sika got upset.

but yeah maybe they were upset at the finish of 34 as well. Can't remember that

Also, they're finally using the Thunderdome in a good way to progress a storyline too. Fully invested in this angle, especially after the dagger Alexa was shooting at Heyman & Roman when they came out.

Not singling you out, @FMKK, but attitudes like this are why people are assholes and the world is such a crappy place.

It's always a shitty bullying tactic to punch down - as CM Punk so arrogantly and lazily does over and over again - instead of punching up.

It paints Phil Brooks as a bitterly insecure man when he has very little reason to be either. 

Edit: Punk is a saint compared to Ryback though...

Ryback about Vince McMahon:

"He just created a platform as a human circus that he modified from his father. The guy is a piece of s---, can't stress this enough. World will be a better place when he passes. This isn't wishing death, but stating an opinion I believe to be true."

WTF?

[sek69]

I will say T-BAR is killing it on Twitter,  Jericho made a comment lol'ing at the group and he responded with a photo of all the news stories about the Fozzy concert becomng a covid spreading event.

[KawadaSmile]

T-BARRRRRR is not the only one, tho. The whole group is getting kinda over entirely on their twitter antics.

But let's be real: WWE's ridiculous names are kinda charming sometimes. THRASHER, MOSH, X-PAC, crush, VISCERA... It's nice.
