Vince wanted to do 45,000 so they probably feel very responsible they are only allowed to do 25K.

if it were within Stephanie McMahon's power to feed every single WM ticket holder into a giant slurry maker in exchange for 1 dollar per head the only reason she wouldn't do it is because slurry doesn't have purchasing power.

And I assume that man is holding a WWE title belt because all of Stephanie's senses are based on supplication. If you arn't kissing her rear end she can't see or hear you.

It would be an amazing power move to conclude the interview by throwing the title in the trash and then standing up to reveal he'd been wearing Big Gold the entire time.

I meant the dork holding a replica belt on his shoulder while doing an interview. Don't even blink at WWE not caring about their shows causing outbreaks of COVID, I'm just staggered by the utter dopeyness.

The thing about New Super Bloopers and the like is that in general they're treated as funny things you can laugh at, not "Ted Danson that loving hack, messed up his line on The Good Place five times, who told this doofus he can be on a sitcom??" or pulling out a string of 'botches' to 'prove' that Paul Pierce has no business being in the NBA, much less the Hall of Fame.

I mean, the wrestlers generally treat it overly seriously, which doesn't help. If the michinoku pro twirl and jump was everywhere pro wrestling would be more fun.

I remember Revival angrily screaming about botchamania after they hit a move they botched last time.

I feel like we don't talk enough about the fact that their title is just their logo. The very concept of branding is their highest honor.

You may be thinking of me. I’m not in that photo, but I had to help carry him out of a rec center in Queens back in 2001 because he was paranoid that a botch by the ref meant he was getting screwed that night and refused to go along with the finish.

It wasn't even the first tantrum I saw him throw, but definitely the worst. And at the time I hadn't seen that picture, so I was shocked when two security guards and Balls Mahoney literally picked him up and then asked me for help so I could grab one of his legs and open the doors.

I hope wherever he goes it's a place that recognises his talent and skills. Doesn't have to be AEW. My main worry when people get to this point is that working for WWE has drained them of all their passion for wrestling in general.
