all of this stemming from getting sore about someone just posting "me too" after saying "IM THE loving BEST" is hilarious but equally as funny is it ending with "I make more money so gently caress you." The initial response could have just been playful or ribbing but between that and the recent podcast Seth just seems like a really unpleasant fucker

uh huh. I've never seen Payton Royce wrestle either before or after her operation, but I'd kind of imagine that it would impact your ability to work as a wrestler. Without knowing (or honestly caring that much) exactly what Dave said, it seems weird to drag on him for it. But Seth is an idiot so whatever.

Dave was trying to be very diplomatic about saying "Since her breast augmentation, her in-ring work is even worse than before." By trying to phrase it like he did, it came off as a body shaming thing where WWE obviously instructed all their talent to pile onto him for internet points. That will teach him to try to use nuance, he should just come out and say she sucks in the future.

This seems like Becky is throwing shade at the entire situation.

I think it's just her making a self-deprecating joke about Twitter feuds being her bread and butter, buddy.

They should definitely have like Archer, Fale or Okada fall him that in the build to their G1 match. Or idk ZSJ to make it funnier.

Sorry, I agree with the popping the beach balls. It's one thing to boo or sit on your hands, but beach ball poo poo is just trying to get yourself over and is lovely to both the wrestlers and to any fan who might actually want to watch the show.

Why don't they try not presenting a terrible wrestling product instead of instructing their talent to make tweets?

Or why doesn't Vince himself cut the poo poo and start arguing directly? I wanna see him ranting with twitter eggs about how WWE is better than ever

Eh. Beach balls are just a dumb thing fans have been doing at sporting events forever. Its silly to take it personally or get wound up about it. You might be unlucky enough to get distracted sitting in the area where some people get into it or something, but those fans probably would have just been distracting in some other way.

As someone who gets whacked in the head by assholes at my job whenever the bosses put up balloons or balls or flags for whatever corporate BS, I assure you my concern is less about 'oh, people over there are playing with a ball' and more 'oh gently caress I got smacked in the face and also my soda is now all over me'.

I have an extremely low tolerence for that kind of 'harmless' thing.

Fair, but like... I guess it just falls into the "some poo poo you gotta just let roll off your back or else you're gonna be miserable/a misanthrope" for me. Which doesn't mean it can't just be a pet peeve for you that doesn't go further.

Which is the paradox of the introvert. Either you speak up about poo poo that is upsetting or frustrating to you and get labeled 'miserable' or you stay silent and ARE miserable.

I like that wwe thinks this team wwe thing is what’s going to work and not turn fans off completely. If anything it’s going to make fans look into it and discover AEW.

I also like that wwe guys still use the like bingo hall insult not considering that the last AEW show was a huge deal in a big arena.

Not saying the underlying feeling isn't allowed nor excusing WWE for putting on a bad show. But sorry, Cesaro going into the crowd and popping the stupid thing makes me think he's cool.

I mean honestly it’s good improv and he was a heel at that time anyway so it’s a good way to get the audience back to paying attention to you. It’s a pro move.

I can't remember what but there was some other WWE blunder that week, and suddenly the talent was out in droves to change the narrative.

But I forget which since there's just infinite loving WWE blunders and they all blur together. Was it the racist, the other racist, the murder regime, the fake charity or gently caress seriously there's just so much.

I mean, SOME people will always be there to get drunk and be silly. That's the reality of a big event. Not everyone is there for the same reason.

But yeah, if its a serious distraction regularly that's probably got something to do with your show's ability to keep the fans engage and draw fans who want to watch you instead of dick around.

Personally I never saw what Dave and apparently rovert did with Peyton. She was bad both before and after the surgery.

Seriously. Beach balls don’t particularly bother me, and I actually kind of like anything that sends a message of “your show isn’t entertaining us,” but it’s ok to be annoyed by inconsiderate behavior. It’s not the same thing as “police lives matter” or “why aren’t they pushing Triple H more.”
