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.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I had forgotten Aubrey was vocal in bisexual visibility and just loved her for being the absolute best. How do you get marks to go over 100?

Thank you creeps and weirdos for reminding me some people just utterly rule.

Can we add referees being actual parts of the match with individual identities to things AEW brought back to the mainstream? NJPW never stopped with Red Shoes and Tiger Hattori and the indies developed Rick Knox into the coked up hoss he us now. But in a WWE tging they became obsessed with referees needing to be invisible as to be identifiable took away from the stars.

loving UFC worked out that iconic refs mattered even if their icon is being totally loving poo poo so we had someone to insult.

I agree with this except in WWE it would inevitably lead to heel refs (Scott Armstrong), and they aggravate the poo poo out of me.

I...guess so? She's talked about her particular choice of the bright red lipstick.

Aubrey is pretty much the nicest person on the face of the planet, so this says a *lot* about that sub even before you get into the bigotry.

Most are just meaningless truisms at this point that won't make any real impact on the product. "Bigger summer storylines" and no more gimmick PPVs mean nothing when one of their ideas is "Make HHH creative director of Raw." So they don't actually want any shakeups, HHH has already been head of creative in this company and the creative sucked then too.

Sure, but stuff like "stop having all these fuckin old guys" is a good point still. So are several others.

Having old guys isn’t really a huge problem in and of itself. Having old guys who always go over the younger talent is though.

You can have old guys on top. You can't have the same old guys always on top for prolonged periods of time. Sure, keep Randy Orton around the main event scene*, but elevate more than one new person to that level.

Old guys can be good, this person wants to bring back Vince McMahon. What legends are even the problem this year? People claimed to like The Boneyard. Are people ready to admit it was bad?

"Give us bigger summer storylines" what does this even mean? This summer you got Retribution a months long storyline of a group that wanted to tear down WWE. That's a big storyline.

It completely sucked.

The MITB winner has been feuding with the World Champion ever since he got the briefcase. This is theoretically important. It sucks.

Both of these are trying to ask for "good storylines" but they are so caught up in WWE brain that they can't see that asking for these things doesn't mean it will be good.


It's not even putting bandaids on, it's re-arranging deck chairs. It's hilarious.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I am so sick of authority figures, GMs, match makers, whatever. I'm already getting bad vibes from Tony Kahn and Don Callis being bigger characters now on a weekly basis. The loving 90s wrestling boom has somehow made people think this is a requirement for a promotion. The quality and nose-dive of wrestling popularity post 2000 would indicate it isn't a requirement at all. And often makes the wrestlers look like weak and secondary characters when they should be the ones being stars.

William Regal doesn't bother me much because while an authority figure, he still presents his motivations and actions as dependent on booking. i.e., if a superstar starts picking up impressive wins, he's going to try to create even more exciting match-ups or title opportunities. They've stayed away from things like Regal abusing his authority or setting himself up as the focal point of any feuds. I am totally fine with a commissioner who makes matches and is occasionally seen here or there, but not a major character constantly sucking all the oxygen away from the wrestlers.
