We definitely need to dial back to a pre-PC time, when people could still take a joke, such as your employer openly mocking you on cable television for having palsy.

I'll never get over the pattern of:

Person A: We're going to make this totally innocuous change that really doesn't affect any way you engage with our product or anything but it might make some people feel better about themselves and us so we thought we'd just do the easy nice thing.

Person B: PC IS RUN AMOK AND DESTROYING EVERYTHING!

I doubt complaining about "PC" will get him kicked out of AEW. But my guess is if JR has the attention back on him long enough stuff will add up.

I've worked and do work in companies where management tell you how great you are while also telling you how important it is that they don't pay you more/give you advancement/brush over issues. Mostly with US multinationals. I always wonder do they play differently in the states, because all they ever get here is stony silence and murderous gazes.

That Corbin tweet is amazing. It's self-contradicting and has danny devito in it, corbin doesn't give a gently caress.

I wish we got that Corbin on TV and not whatever the gently caress Vince thinks his character is.

Eventually Xavier Woods will complete his (smaller part of Kane's plan to destroy the Undertaker) plan, and we will have a live one hour UUDD replace Raw. Then we will finally get the good Corbin.

on reflection I do feel sorry for Seth he does try hard but the wwe product sucks, everyones trying to leave, people who leave poo poo on the company and get hotter than they were in wwe in about 2 weeks. Your grinding 4/5 days a week on the road and just getting the business on twitter from fans over and over its gonna take a mental toll on you if you do care.

So basically be more like Nakamura collect your money and surf.

KISS ME KRIS

The more I think about it, the more the Seth thing sounds like the kind of heavyhanded babyface positioning WWE loves. Just done in a completely tonedeaf manner(another thing they're famous for). Vince is thinking firey babyface promo and completely refuses to believe the crowd is making jerking off motions.

The bit with Beck is loving gross tho. If you're spending so much time at your workplace that the only people you meet and date are co-workers, you're spending way too much time at your work. That's not healthy.
