I'm starting to wonder what is Sasha's best life? I guess only she knows the answer.

She's one of the few people in the Fed who's pretty much untouchable, and I'm sure she's making insane money even before merch sales, so I really don't blame her for sticking with it. But man, imagine what she could do in AEW...

this the guy who was doing a white nationalist gimmick on twitter a year and a half ago?

I’ve honestly never heard anything bad about the guy and the tweets were awful but the whole thing stunk of a bad HHH idea.

She was sitting out after asking for her release like 18 moths ago, so never rule out WWE's ability to gently caress up a ready-made star

After reading about the schism in Trump land I was curious what the usual WWE suspects thought. Gunner didn't post anything, Drake is still MIA so I decided to see if Road Dogg had posted anything even though I didn't think it would be pro Trump. Nothing too interesting. He is against the mob and accepts that Biden will be the next President. However I cracked up when I saw something unrelated that he'd shared.



Only Road Dogg could find meme fodder so inspiring. God bless you Marine!

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

People questioning why Sasha stayed are forgetting that her husband works for WWE. And whilst he works for them in a position that they can't humiliate on TV, he works in a position where they will sack him without a second thought and probably make him pay for all the material he used to sew the costumes.

Fale is right - unfortunately. I'd much rather have those other guys than the consistently worst wrestlers on the NJPW roster

edit: like I don't clamor for the Elite to return to JApan but I'd certainly take any of them over Fale, Owens, Yujiro and also GoD

Literally nothing probably. For as lovely as WWE is, for a female wrestler it's about a million times better than AEW if your goal is to actually be on tv

I can’t remember much about the specifics of Dijak’s bloodline NXT gimmick but assuming it was all scripted out for him he might already be touchy about it, having being made to spend months saying dogwhistle racist poo poo, thinking it’s all in the past and then seeing himself compared to maga chuds anyway

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Also, he didn't even post that until Thursday. Did people see it Thursday and retroactively unwatch the show from Wednesday to drive the ratings down?

You just fire up your DVR and rewind through the whole show before you delete it, duh.

Not only did he throw himself into a gimmick where he tweeted white supremacist nonsense he's currently in a gimmick that mocked antifa and BLM so he should probably drop the faux outrage.

Meanwhile, Kowloon restaurant north of Boston will theoretically be closing in the future and the wrestling world is mourning. It's a very gimmicky but fun Asian fusion restaurant that loves having wrestlers dine there.

Who said it was? I'm saying the people saying she shouldn't go there are idiots because that's literally the only way to make it improve. Getting women in there to build it. "The women's Division is bad so they shouldn't sign anyone," is a self fulfilling prophecy.
