Roddy was a deeply troubled person who threw himself into the industry and got jack poo poo in return for it, and had a strong dislike for Vince specifically. Having Vince pretending to be on the phone with him, hinting that Roddy's in hell and then insisting he's in heaven, honestly just makes my skin crawl. It's...it's really hosed up.

 Either someone hosed up or they just don't care to set this up organically. Edit: They just officially announced it, so the latter. Pylons fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Apr 23, 2021 |

Have they completely photoshopped Bayleys face there? Her eyebrows, eye makeup and eyes all look distorted or heavily altered.

Between this and Ripley/Asuka it's like an edict has come down that builds and storylines for the women's division are no longer required.

Brian Flinn, who was basically the head of PR for the last 9 years, was fired, as were Mead Rust (there for 2 years after 16 with A&E) and the previously reported Joe Villa (there since he was a college student in 1999) from his department. I never interacted with Rust, and I rarely interacted with Villa past calling out his stupidest political tweets. (If you remember a WWE office guy being weird in AOC's replies, that was him.) Flinn, however, I interacted with plenty over the years. At times, we had a pretty good working relationship over the years, but it got much worse when it became clear I wouldn't exactly be...pliable, I guess. This culminated in him having a full-scale freak out six months ago when Business Insider was about to publish my ring boys abuse investigation, calling at least two editors and trying to sell them on a scenario where I wasn't a legitimate reporter, had conned them into thinking I was, etc. (It seemed like he had no idea that Investigations Editor John Cook and I have known each other for years, and thus thought he could sell some nonsense about me fabricating a story.) So while I would never wish getting fired on anyone outside of the most extreme circumstances, I can't really spare any empathy for him at all.

This has been a thing for a while in WWE, major PPV and esp. Wrestlemania matches are just sort of decreed by management/”The Authority” and that drives the plot for the build, not any actual rivalry between the people in them. It’s all about wanting “moments” without any context.

That whole property of poo poo is so gross. Like they don't even hide it anymore. You are told right from the start that they own you and you should be greatful for it.

I think the implication is the shirt is the property of the performance center, like something your hoghschool would give you to to wear if you forgot a change of clothes for gym, it's property of the athletic department

I get what you mean, but the “property of” shirts originated because in the 1930s USC football players were literally stealing the workout t-shirts because they liked them, so the school put “property of” on them to deter theft because it was the shirt that belonged to the school, not the person. Then it sort of took off as a sports team thing.

So Alastair was reading a book, but acting like the story was his life. What He also has those 70s birth control glasses, names because they prevent the person wearing them from ever loving. Which is odd, he spent his entire time on the main roster getting screwed.

Then it sort of took off as a sports team thing. Regardless of how they started I'd argue that they no longer mean that and they know how it comes off. Taken also in the context of the rest of the company's history I think they are 100 percent saying the people are the property of WWE not the shirts.
