Like the only way you can get to Vince getting credit is “He could have said no!” which if that is your idea of Vince’s benevolence then... well, that’s probably close to the truth aside from the weird one shots he’s done over the years because he’s honoring a deal his dad made or whatever.

Nah. He hates pretty much all women. It was a little while back but he said some truly wretched poo poo about Alexa Bliss and got rightfully dunked on by almost everyone credible in the business. Glad to see he hasn't adjusted his worldviews since then. And to think he is absolutely desperate for a job with AEW as well. JD has bragged several times about knowing the Young Bucks and how they want to hire him for the company, but he turns them down because he doesn't want to leave his YouTube audience behind.

But in regards to Sarray, he isn't the only one who doesn't like her. I've seen others try and criticize her moveset because "she is too small and her strikes look weak, she shouldn't be a wrestler".

Then again these same people think Karrion Kross is the ideal size and style that wrestlers should strive for.

e: Just noticed JD is hiding the responses to his tweet that disagree with him or are calling him out for his behavior.

The replies to that tweet are so shortsighted. I wish they would take the time to either pass judgment on Sarreee after a couple of matches and/or watch her other matches in Japan to get a sense of what she's capable of.

Most of the responses to JD's tweet seem to be dunking on him, thankfully. As for the guy I posted above, he doubled down on the AGENDA argument and how Sarray shouldn't have been signed because "her workrate isn't spectacular and she isn't a big enough name in the mainstream to warrant signing".

Which is...a baffling argument because pretty much every wrestler signed from the independent scene or other countries has almost zero mainstream exposure at first (at least in the US). Then again I'm probably overthinking it and the "mainstream" argument from this guy is probably just a really lovely cover to be racist/sexist.

Yes and they find it hard to believe that anyone should sell for someone as small as Sarray. They think her strikes look weak and ineffective because of her size, basically.

WWE itself stuck her in the minor leagues so this unfortunately isn't just something the fans think.

Now I’m thinking about Bad Bunny getting stuck in developmental for 4 years, getting leather and spike gear, a generic metal song and doing the Florida Loop all leading up to a Wrestlemania tag match against the Miz.



And as I was writing this about a generic NXT journey, I didn’t realize I was mostly describing his tag partner.

Omos needed only 6 matches in NXT to be ready for the big leagues. We will see if Sarray is on that level or if she needs more time learning the fundamentals.

I'll never forget the weird Twitter guy who lamented that he keeps hearing Kenny Omega is a great wrestler but he'll never watch a Kenny Omega match that doesn't take place in a WWE ring.

These people exist and they're broken in ways that can only happen under late stage capitalism. The brand is their religion.

These "Voice of the IWC" shock jock types are all garbage people, without exception. Just pay attention to any one for a little while and, sure enough, out comes the sexism, racism, transphobia and anti-"sjw" free speech poo poo. From Cornette, all the way down.

Most people complained incessantly about WWE when it was the only game in town. Then people started leaving in droves to watch other, better things, and the only ones left were the WWE diehards who always thought it could do no wrong. Before that, the diehards were just complaining about the complainers, and ironically telling them to stop watching if they hate it so much. Then people did that, and somehow that's a betrayal.

Generally those same people also tend to think New Japan is too hard to follow, and the production values of any other promotions aren't high enough to hold their interest.
