If a bunch of NBA guys calling him a fatty fat fat is enough to get him to cut back on the sauce and get back in the gym, it will be yet another example of why cyber bullying is always good and works.

Actually, whoa wait what the gently caress, I realize you walked this back as only joking but this is still a hosed up thing to present to a wrestling fan community.

You're right, it was tasteless even if it was meant to be sarcastic. I apologise for it, and if a probation is called for, I accept. I wasn't even thinking of Hana when I posted it.

It's super common for journalists and media personalities to swing right if they get canceled/blackballed/become irrelevant.

Imagine advertising a stacked show in opposition to a tribute show for one of the most liked wrestlers on the planet who just died tragically.

I mean I know they're not going to show class but you could just quietly put on your show for a week and shut the gently caress up on twitter.

Wait, did they actually do that? The matches with POC wrestlers were exclusively the black dots?

Or was it just a coincidence that some of the black dot matches had POCs wrestling in them.

If it was the former then they can't even pretend to claim that it was unintentional.

They also unretweeted it once Jeff read the whole thing/an EVP or Tony saw it.

Bad phrasing on my part. Don't think it's ever happened. Just happened to notice it. And it would be one of those "WWE coincidences" where POCs would be listed on the black dots.

There's something comforting about the people shouting at Dave with "What about Owen's tribute show? Or Eddie's?!" and the people demanding Bryan not post the ratings for Weds. shows for just this week.

Pretty sure it's all WWE fans who don't want the ratings posted, because in their minds it's somehow unfair that AEW did a tribute show.

It's funny because WWE has years and years of footage, and a whole roster of people that loved Brody, and 7+ hours of TV this week.

If only they had some loving brains and a sliver of heart.
