I didn't see that as them acting like Cain can't speak English. I saw it as something similar to Rey, where he sometimes slips into Spanish when he's especially pissed or for a pop or whatever. Rey does it all the time. The other stuff is true though!

They've literally had Rey cutting his promos in English and Cain ONLY speaking Spanish. His second language. If Cain was mad and slipping into another language, he's slip into English.

It's loving wild that stuff like "refusing to grant talent release requests, essentially holding them hostage" and "making American-born Cain Velasquez pretend he doesn't know English because Mexican" won't even crack the Top 5 of worst things WWE has done this year.

Don't forget having Kofi Kingston have a fantastic championship chase with the crowd getting behind him, and the chase ending with an awesome match at Wrestlemania, only for Kofi's reign to end several months later in 7 seconds.

I could have sworn Cain cut a promo (albeit a brief one) in English at some point and I took the Rey thing to just be a cover for Cain being a bad talker (like Heyman for Brock) but I may just be misremembering so I'm willing to take an L on this one.

He’s mad because they had the next title challenger lose to someone randomly on raw and then turn around and pin the champion the next week

i didn't watch any of that but it sounds like he's mad because the person who beat the champions on the previous show was not the person given a "championship opportunity" even though their partner for that match was given one with someone else.

lmao so last week Randy Orton gave Rusev an RKO out of nowhere and was cleared from the ring by Ricochet, and this week he's teaming with him for no reason whatsoever?

I just realized that Orton turning face for no reason is likely "punishment" for acting like he might sign with AEW.

It was at their "press conference" they did in Vegas with Cain and Fury. Cain just dead forgot his lines and their was a huge pause where he was desperately trying to remember while Rey tried to mouth him the words or something.

I haven't seen any of his ufc stuff so I don't know if he has a history of awkward interviews or if he was just struggling the first time he had to stick to a long script, but either way just pretending he doesn't speak English is not good.

Cain was never really a flashy personality or a big talker during his mma run but he was never particularly awkward. He basically didn't say much and let his performance talk for him, he was a legit monster when he was healthy

Kris Statlander wrestling on AEW Dark, but everyone here said she was a bootlicking member of the wwe cult since she was obviously signing to wwe even after casey retracted his statement.

almost like maybe people should chill out with speculation of people getting offers until everything is 100%

It's okay to be cynical about the biz. If you'd like, I can say things like "I still think she's a plant." or "This is bogus to get you off the trail" type stuff. Just for solidarity purposes
