Given that it’s AAPI month, this would be such a good article for wwe to promote. Heck, why not highlight some of your Asian wrestlers or make them available for pieces like this.

That requires WWE to actually care about that stuff. They don't and won't care.

Braun is a dumbass. While there are a spot for giants in wrestling still, I would argue their importance is nowhere near as significant in today's industry both due to a combination of WWE being really lovely at booking them, and shifting demographics.

Wrestling should be a ‘No Giants’ zone, because you should only be allowed to have one.

Most wrestlers wrestle because it's their drug. You take that away from them and sometimes, not every time, but sometimes the money starts being unimportant.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.
