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.

How does McIntyre evade criticism here

Smack down ratings up the same time Raw ratings plummet

Dead storylines left and right on Raw

Can’t name a single heel that has been elevated by feuding with McIntyre

It’s been a year of feeding everyone and their mom to Drew with zero return on investment, yet the Drew police on SC come out hard any time anyone even begins to question why this guy has been given so much rope to hang the show with.

You really mean to tell me Miz, Bray, Braun, Kofi, AJ, or gasp someone new to the top of the card can’t do better than this?

Something I don’t like is whatever academic word I learned from twitter to win fights I start with people because I have no hobbies and my narcissistic personality disorder disables me from interacting with the world in a harmless way. I make up people to be mad at so I can present myself as the main character in a situation I believe others will see as meaningful, meanwhile in actuality I do nothing, think nothing, and have no idea who I am anymore. 240 characters, serotonin bump, my personality is poorly composed of media I consume.

Don’t get me wrong, I miss the crowd shots and the atmosphere of a live crowd. But it’s really nice to be able to watch a story play out without it being hijacked, if we still had crowds would Drew have been turned on by now?

I was thinking about when Seth was giving a promo about his knee injury and the crowd started chanting for CM Punk. And the beachball fans. If we are going to get that I’d rather stick with the screens.

Remember when people started chanting “we the people” when Hager debuted? Jericho shut it down immediately and killed it in perfect way that really helped sell the Inner Circle

I think my favorite instance of AEW crowds being willing to go with a bit is when Scorpio Sky said that his high school crush called him and they're going out next week and the crowd started chanting her name.

I've seen other people make this point, and it's really dead-on: If all that the current gen will pop for is fancy highspots, then why is WALTER so over with hardcores? Hell, WALTER is proof that right now would probably be the best time for someone like Johnny Valentine to get over since the '70s.

Same for Ishii, expecially overseas. Ishii's offense is super basic but it gets so over. Hell his match in Rev Pro with Keith Lee was built on the idea of him trying to suplex Lee and it's considered one of the best of Rev Pro matches

First thing I thought of too. He also mentioned that it was a result of bad booking, which was a smart move because it's a dig at the competition.

A few people in WWE have been able to shut that kind of thing down, but usually they're not allowed to acknowledge it at all because deviation from the script is a high crime that will get you put in an angle about farts.

Jerusalem

Yeah, my first thought was also Jericho just shutting down a chant that had followed Hager for YEARS with a single line and it has NEVER come up ever again to the best of my memory.

Also I'll die on this hill, but the WHAT!?! chant was great when wrestlers were allowed to react to it (and especially before WWE insisted on every wrestler having the EXACT same cadence to their promos - which they can't deviate from - which left gaps for the crowd to shout WHAT?) and play with the crowd. Austin did it best of course, but Kurt Angle absolutely losing his poo poo over it was also great, and it was one of the few times when Undertaker was ever good on the mic when he caught the crowd out with the sleeping with their sisters line.

The fans respect the product, that's the difference. Jericho is the master of shutting down chants that derail the show and they give everyone freedom to roll with stuff like Miro leaning into "What is Love?" because the fans are there to have fun.

Didn't WWE move away from that about the time AEW opened and they started offering deals to every green indie dude with 18 months experience?

I don't think anyone's ever been allowed the time to do this, but I always wanted to see the person cutting the promo act like the audience just can't hear what he said, and repeat it until they get bored.

"I'm gonna take his title at Summerslam!"
"WHAT"
"I'm gonna take his title at Summerslam!"
"WHAT"
"I'm gonna take his title at Summerslam!"
"WHAT"
"I'm gonna take his title at Summerslam!"

And not escalating either, do it with the exact same cadence and tone of voice. If the crowd leans into it, you've got a new gimmick that's really over until it gets super annoying and dies. If they get bored, it dies sooner.

At TripleMania, Sexy Star injured Rosemary with an arm bar

I heard it from Joseph Park that Sexy Star’s her own biggest mark 
Rosemary didn’t do anything because she didn’t want to end up in a Mexican prison 

Congrats to Eddie Edwards on his GHC title win 
Even when he acts serious, he can’t hide his grin 
I heard a rumor and I don’t know if it’s a true story 
But apparently RVD wanted to change BFG to Bong for Glory 
When Bruce Prichard’s on TV, some people develop Tourette's 
Jim Cornette’s going to get Kongo Kong to wear a singlet
Eli Drake has a golden voice and silver tongue 
Don’t ever doubt or underestimate the defiant one 

Hey now, GFW fans, every Thursday night, it’s time to watch Impact 
Hey now, GFW fans, wouldn’t it be great if at BFG, Austin Aries came back 
Eli Drake’s always focused and hungry
