SirEdger Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Anyone expecting some title changes tonight on RAW? They've been hinting so much at Drew vs Roman at Survivor Series that it would totally be such a Vince move to just have Orton beat Drew decisively instead.

Honestly RAW needs a shot in the arm, something to make people tune in. A title change seems like the logical thing to do, but sometimes WWE defies common sense and given how they've featured that Sheamus/Drew friendship over the past few weeks, it wouldn't surprise me if Sheamus cost his buddy the title.

I am fine with Joey Ryan genuinely improving himself, if that's what he's doing - and, no, I'm not really naive enough to believe it for a second - but WTF is this idiot Wuertz doing cozying up to such a toxic presence in such a public fashion? Then again, it's not like WWE cares - Velveteen Dream and Matt Diddle are still gainfully employed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Wuertz has been showing his whole ass all year. Not only is he a full-on MAGA smooth brain, he quite possibly handed Candy Cartwright a smoking gun in her lawsuit against Riddle and WWE. Speaking of smooth brains, Nia had better hope God made her immune system stronger than her knees. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Guess there are about 250 thousand people in the US alone who were unlucky to have that 0.01% come into play and kill them, not to mention the millions - AND MILLIONS - other infected people.

El-P Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I know it's stupid and petty, because the two have pretty much nothing to do with one another, but still, I kinda do get a kick out of learning that someone I consider a terrible all around performer is also part of the dumb-as-fuck clan. At this point, the idea that you are gonna work with these people if you sign with the company has to get in line in your thought process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 As stupid as Nia sounds, there are many people who won't trust this vaccine because it will be rushed out so quickly, hasn't been studied as extensively, and the long-term effects are therefore unknown. My point is, it's not just the radical fringe QAnon WWE/NXT dumbells who are wary of the vaccine. Don't be shocked when a large number of ordinary people also have doubts. That, IMO, is going be the big news story of 2021 all around the world. Unfortunately, a vaccine is only as effective as the amount of people who take it. That's why it's critical for other solutions and cures to be developed alongside a vaccine. Columbia University is working on a Covid nasal spray, for example, that sounds very promising.

KawadaSmile Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thing is, Nia was one of Drake's biggest supporters, wearing those "Save The Children" tees and dedicating social media posts to it. If she were "just" an antivaxxer, it would be stupid, but nothing truly shocking even in places like California in which people avoid vaccinating their children because they want to lead a "natural, healthier lifestyle". She seems to be fully in QAnon territory at this point. And that's no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hopefully Cousin Dwayne can talk some sense into her. He must look down at people like Drew Wuertz as worthless insignificant insects. Would love to hear the private promo Dwayne would cut on QWuertz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I told you, bubba. The Rock never speaks his mind on anything "controversial". Not that in the NTP that would be controversial, but the one time he publicly supported a presidential candidate, people started saying he ate babies and that he was a clone or a body double of the original Rock, who died many years ago. Shit's wild, is what I'm saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Right, but these hypothetical convos between Rock and Nia/QWuertz would be private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mathematically speaking, a vaccine alone won't eradicate the virus anyway. For that to happen, you would need a vaccination rate of something like 75% to 80% (if the basic reproduction number without any social distancing is, as estimated, in the range of 3 to 5, the efficiency of the vaccine is in the promised range of 90% to 95% and the vaccine relatively stable against mutations of the virus), which just won't happen (it took something like 50 years to (mostly) eradicate Polio, and that is a very cheap, simple and safe vaccination (unless your name is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.)). I am not even sure if an authoritarian country like China can reach that number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 But at least, if we can have enough treatment options available so we can all go back to a more normal life without constantly fearing lockdowns and social distancing, that's a big win.

El-P Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Well this thread turned into an even more depressive one than the usual weekly WWE stuff...

That was exactly the intent.  https://www.lepoint.fr/sante/la-france-championne-des-anti-vaccins-19-06-2019-2319729_40.php Basically 1/3 French people don't believe vaccines are totally safe and 1/10 don't believe vaccine for children are useful. From the American study based on 144 countries that is quoted in the article, France is apparently where you find the most doubtful people. That being said, our vaccination rate is actually going up, so there, everything is not that dark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZThomas Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Selfishly I don't want her to leave wrestling for Hollywood but given that house shows seem to be done its possible for her to do both. Her passion for wrestling is probably bigger than mostly everyone on the roster so I don't see her leaving the business altogether anytime soon. She's related to Snoop ,Brandy, Ray j and Daz so its definitely in her to do great things outside of Wrestling. I felt the same about Becky when I heard she was working with Rocks agent, then hearing she was looking into outside projects before she got Pregnant.

sek69 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Funny how Lana got put through a table about 47 million times and is still available for Survivor series, but Mandy & Dana are out after one attack each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
