The Twitter stuff is fun, everyone is having fun with it. No wrestler is really mad on Twitter until they start deleting stuff or re-tweeting a bunch of fan tweets about not getting pushed enough.

Imo they should do it on the television show instead of twitter

I don't understand this wrestling arms race, because who the gently caress wants to pay for WWE's god awful product, how did Vince trick people into thinking WWE was mainstream?

NASCAR was pop culture in the south during the 90's too, but nobodies making rival driving companies with "More aggressive driving, just like it used to be with Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt" either.

Those aren't even rivals, they're just straight up more popular outside of the US. It's like American Football vs International Football (Soccer). They're both the top dog in America and nobody cares outside of the states and nobody outside of the states cares about American sports.

While we're on the subject, IndyCar's president just said their races on broadcast networks get 2-3 times the viewership as their races on cable networks. Maybe useful for predicting what Smackdown can get on Fox.

A money mark wouldn't do poo poo though, unless the money mark was Bruton Smith.

NASCAR owns half the tracks and the other half are owned by Bruton Smith, who makes the vast majority of his money from NASCAR events being held at his tracks. If he allowed another stock car circuit there, NASCAR would pull his dates.

yes, there are other tracks but all of those are too small and don't have the infrastructure to support a NASCAR-like competitor.

the first world was a mistake

NASCAR has also lost its most popular drivers and done everything possible to piss down its own leg over the past decade.

I'd say Indycar is more comparable to NJPW in that it's not close to as popular as it was in its heyday, but is doing quite well for itself now and light years ahead of where it was 10-15 years ago.

Yeah, I don't doubt that Peyton's tweet was not intended in that manner at all, but it was still not a good thing to tweet and it should probably come down if only to avoid shitheads who try to use it as an excuse to make intentionally racist ones.

When I saw it I thought it was just a banana, but white people like to ruin everything and make it racist. I don't think she was malicious but she's probably going to get a ton of tweets telling her that she is even if it was banter between friends with no racial context.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

This is the point where you just apologize, say you didn't realize the racist context but you've learned now and won't do it again, apologize again. And then walk away and accept that some people are gonna keep on you about it and you just have to let that happen and not start screaming about how bad social justice is or why rappers can use the n word or something equally stupid.
