Yeah, I'm going to say Cesaro got hacked. I've never heard anything but nice things about him.

Actually yeah someone has admitted to hacking it, is continuing to complain and replacing the posts with #pushcesaro instead.

One of two things will happen: either he will fail to convince the people upstairs of that, and they'll wish him well in his future endeavors, or he will fail to convince the people upstairs of that and Vince will admire him for standing up for himself and push him.

Yeah, but then we have to apply VinceMind to it. He might think that if he gets cancer he'd see even more of Cena.

Startling lack of imagination there. If I knew how to hack a twitter I'd do John Cena's and post nothing but quotes from Honky Tonk man shoots.

I'm sure the WWE will look at this and think "Yeah, we should push Cesaro." They definitely won't think "You stupid millennial gently caress, bah gawd, practice better internet security. In my day we didn't have to worry about this bullshit, Cesaro, you're jobbing to New Day."

What an idiotic hacker. He could've hacked the WWE Universe twitter account or even Vince's to make his point for all misused wrestlers!

I hope they find him and give him to Cesaro to Giant Swing.

They'll find the hacker maybe, but for his part in this offense, the swing will be taken from Cesaro. Again.

I don't care what anybody says, Russo's promo at BATB 2000 was godlike. Hulk Hogan being such a complete bitch that he had to quit and sue because said promo called him bald WHEN HE IS IN FACT BALD shouldn't detract from one of the best on-screen things Russo ever did IMO.

It was stupid as gently caress but it led to Hogan quitting WCW and suing them because Russo called him bald. Now that was a shoot.

CM Punk does not have the will of the warrior. John Cena does, Roman Reigns does. CM Punk has the will of a mid-carder.

It wasn't just that it called him bald, it also violated his creative control clause and if you are going to ignore things like that your clause is rendered worthless.

If you believe that, you believe Hulk Hogan's version of those events. I don't. Russo may have zero credibility, but Hogan has the balls to say thats the only time he ever invoked his CC, which we KNOW is a BALD faced lie.

Ah, I forgot that the other half of the suit was upheld. I was remembering that the defamation claim got laughed out of court for being baseless, and didn't remember that the judge reasoned that having a match after Hogan's match and saying Hogan's win didn't count and his belt wasn't real amounted to taking his ability to control the match finish and his character away from him.

I think that ruling is bullshit, but whatever, that's why we have judges.

Regardless, I think that it's clear that Hogan would not have filed the suit in the first place if he wasn't a big baby throwing a tantrum because the promo was too mean. If, as Russo has stated, Hulk walking out with the belt and coming back later to face the Champion they crowned in his place was the story, the entire lawsuit was a crock. The fact that the judge sided with Hulk's interpretation of the CC clause was just good fortune and could have easily gone the other way. That's why lawyers always tell their clients to avoid court and try to settle.

EDIT: Anyway, I think it was a good promo, which was really the point of the topic. The fallout that resulted doesn't have much bearing on that opinion.
