well lil Drake 'Rockstar Spud' Maverick engaged in some of the most egregious bootlicking I've ever seen since Vichy France so a lot of the usual "stupid before evil" analysis is out the window. This company needs a six month pause so employees, contractors and management can work out some deep personal poo poo.

WWE either fired or "fired" Drake but either way he willingly came back and that shows some serious loyalty issues. I question Drake's mental health. WWE is exploiting a sick man for personal gain.

Don't do armchair psychology, or I'll tell your cousin about your feelings for her.

If anyone is wondering what happened with Kendo Kashin after WWE fired him and left him stranded without a job in Florida, big NOSAWA Rongai stepped up and got him into NOAH and he seems to be taking the situation in good humour.

I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.

There is powerful "if this is anyone besides Steve Allen, you're stealing my bit" energy here.

"Foppish heel manager" does not seem like it's unexplored territory.

the bit stealing, as talked about in a different thread, is from 10 years ago. he's talking about robert stone's TNA gimmick, Robbie E

Remember in the immediate backlash they got for firing her, there were reports they were "considering" bringing her back? The moment the furore died down they completely forgot about her.

Apparently Sarah Logan doesn't want to do 30 more years and then have a documentary made that looks like she regrets everything she ever did and wants to kill herself.

So she got to start living her dream as soon as she could, wrestled a bunch of cool places, got married, climbed all the way to WWE and found out it was incredibly lovely and is moving on with her life.

Good for her.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Also I’m sure they can survive just fine on her husband bringing home WWE money still, without her having to make the same commitments just to wrestle unappreciated for nobody on Main Event

Raw was taped. Slater's still fired, he's just still under the 90-day nocompete and can't go elsewhere. I talked about it in the spoiler thread, he's still talked even today about the day the nocompete is up and all expectations are he's TNA bound at Slammiversary that day

I'm super excited for Countdown to Fucktown. They've already made a few hints at things, like they thought they were friends with HHH. Karl seems especially pissed about it based on some of the things he's said in the last few episodes.

EC3 said (in an interview with Wrestletalk) he was planning to ask for his release before the plague happened, so things actually worked out for him

EC3 posted:

I realised earlier into especially the run on the main roster that I was not a very happy person. I realise financial means is not the only thing that matters to me. How much it is important for me to be able to express myself and create and do something not my way? I understand there has to be give and take when you work for somebody, you can’t do everything your way. If everyone was doing what they wanted to do it would be a catastrophe, but the fact that no amount of input or effort seemed to be rewarded, it just didn’t really matter.

Honestly, I was going to ask to be released but the pandemic was the only thing that kept me there because I needed money to support my family in case something horrible happened, so they did it for me and that’s fine. I was fine, I was okay. I was actually very relieved. The man who called me seemed to be very upset having to do all that so I was like ‘this is fine. It’s okay. Like it’s going to be okay.’ I don’t have anyone to prove to anyone else or them at all because I don’t live in the past anymore.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Technically the release of Kairi Sane fits here too. One of the best wrestlers in the world just walking during a pandemic because they're done.

Tommy Dreamer on the COVID releases posted:

"You can't hate the WWE," Dreamer said. "You can't hate Vince McMahon. That is business and it's big business. I saw it in my little, little rear end company and I see it from WWE all the way down and I use this example for everyone who goes, 'Oh, they should stop live television, they should stop doing this, they should stop doing that,' think of the financial hit WWE took with the loss of WrestleMania from merchandise, live gate, all that stuff.
