It's definitely a lazy played-out tactic

It made sense when HBK or Triple H did it in DX because they were childish assholes, or when the Rock or Austin did it because they were hostile to just about everyone. But now it's something everyone does, regardless of whether they're a heel or face. Mean Gene didn't have to put up with this poo poo.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I'm less annoyed by the "wrestler is mean to interviewer" trope, than I am by the exact cookie cutter way that everyone, (heel or face) does them.

You have interviewer, already standing in a corridor strewn with official looking stuff. Wrestler comes up and stands next to interviewer, looking taller and therefore better than them. Interviewer asks question. Wrestler incredulously repeats question. Then goes on an angry scripted promo, before walking off after the punch line. Interviewer then looks quizzically at the camera once they have gone. With either a hint of outrage if the wrestler is a heel, or a hint of a mildly amused smirk if the wrestler is a face.

It's that last look at the camera that annoys me so much. WWE interviewers are generally so useless. (Mean Gene and Renee excepted of course.)

Wish Instagram would embed but oh well have a picture of Minoru Suzuki with MMA lightweight pioneer Caol Uno

Seeing this link made me realise it's been a while since I checked his Insta feed for his cool socks, so I started to look through some of his older posts, and, well:

It's one thing I really liked about Kurt Angle. Face or heel, he would always give a proper answer to the interviewer.

i guess its good, in the sense that roman is laying bare the whole thing with wwe as a whole. his mouth IS open. so how would he close it, roman? by not watching the product? are you encouraging him to turn off the tv and not come back?

It really upsets me as a health care worker that people are trying to minimize how serious this is, especially since people who have recovered have been diagnosed with long term problems in their lungs

I think that's 6% of deaths not 6% of cases

Same, I recently had a health care worker friend espouse the view that coronavirus would "magically" be over just after the election, because that's when the Democrats/Soros/the libs will just happen to find a vaccine, after they steal the election from Trump first. People's brains are beyond broken these days.
