The good news on the Jericho thing is must people are disgusted by it, so it turned out to be a bad move for him. Hopefully he listens.

I listened to the Jericho cast, here's some very brief notes:

-jericho says the interview was set up through the publisher of trumps book which is the same publisher as his own books
-talks about not being on a side in politics and having a journalism degree and having written four books
-during the interview jericho says almost nothing except for variations of oh wow and thats interesting
-jericho says canadian healthcare is good for if you if have an accident but bad if you have cancer
-trump jr talking about the rallys "its like wrestlemania on crack, theres 47000 people there, not even wwe does that", jericho doesnt correct him
-trump jr on linda mcmahon "that woman never failed at anything"

It is pretty much verbatim and Jericho didn't sound sarcastic or dismissive.

EDIT: to be fair, Jericho also didn't sound that way when Bo Dallas talked about the mole people living in the earths core or whatever so who knows

Didn't they also say that the Jericho promo was like the funniest thing in wrestling in 30 years or something?

I know that this conversation was banned from the WWE thread, but am I missing something in the equation of

1) Dave Meltzer says based on his sources that there was a meeting at the Raw taping on Monday and that Seth Rollins gave a speech at said meeting.
2) Someone on Reddit posts that there was a meeting at the Raw taping on Monday and that Seth Rollins gave a speech at said meeting.

Apparently Seth Rollins did not give a speech at the meeting. Dave Meltzer has retracted this story.

What on this timeline suggests/proves that Dave Meltzer copy-pasted this story from Reddit? Are there timestamps? Similar wording?

My dad texted me yesterday to lament that it looked like Matt Bevin was going to win the KY governor race, several news outlets said the same thing early on. Turns out he did not win the election. Should CBS News apologize for stealing this [false] scoop from my dad?

Initially I figured that his publisher browbeat him into doing it, but then I remembered he just likes getting money, so it’s still on him.

-jericho says canadian healthcare is good for if you if have an accident but bad if you have cancer


Personally I got my cancer treated on the NHS and it really terrifies me that if I had been living under an American system I wouldn't have even been able to go to the doctor because the only time I got to check what this weird new mole on my chest was was when I was made redundant from my old job and I was waiting to start my new one. I'd be dead. As it stands I got the Melanoma cut out of me as my choice even when my GP thought it might be a burst blood vessel under the skin, got a wider examination to cut out all remaining cancer cells, got all the lymph nodes around the area cut out to stop the chances of it spreading, got a reoccurrence dealt with quickly, a week long stay in hospital and multiple years worth of check ups and appointments with dermatologists and my surgery team all completely free and expertly dealt with.

But yeah I'm sure if you've got money the American version is great too.

I mean, downtalking the impressive attendance numbers of WWE shows is bound to piss off Vince off, so maybe having DJTjr on to make stupid comments is Jericho playing 14th dimensional chess to get Vince to stop being a Trump Fundraiser.




Oh who am I kidding, we're in Hellworld, this is probably 88th dimensional chess to get Vince to prove how great WWE is by donating even more money to Trump.

Butt first, let's

"My publisher set it up" is a pathetic excuse because duh, we're not idiots. We can plainly see Trump is on a book tour doing tons of interviews.

But hey, Meghan McCain and the View managed to push back a little bit against his bullshit. Chris Jericho is a bigger coward/pushover/rear end in a top hat than Meghan McCain.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.
