I feel that if you just drew random names out of a hat and assigned them one writer and one agent and told them to just go nuts you'd have a better product than modern WWE.

Here’s an interesting stat: “WWE Raw is trending #1 worldwide on social media”

Not like WWE gives a poo poo about the fans or bad commentary and the man's had a career in commentating where he doesn't have to put up with some demented old carny screaming in his ear, so maybe he figured that he could get a better job elsewhere? https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/1397256252044967937?s=20

Alan_Shore posted:Feels like you can make a great argument that WWE no longer has the best roster in America In the context of how they’re utilized sure. On paper, no. And that’s not a knock on AEW at all. But they have Styles, Bryan, Tozawa, Ricochet, Cedric, Drew Gulak, Big E, Crews, Aleister Black, Balor, Cole, Strong, O’Reilly, Fish, Metalik, Keith Lee, Kofi, Mustafa Ali, Cesaro, Gable, Owens, Zayn, Nakamura, Murphy, Rollins, Jonah Rock, Trevor Lee, Swerve Scott, Jake atlas, Gargano, Ciampa, Kushida, the Rascalz, Lorcan, Dunne, Bate, Seven, WALTER, Escobar, Thatcher, Breeze, A-Kid, Dragunov, Andrews, Blake Christian, Alex Zayne Then on the women’s side, Asuka, Sasha, Bayley, Becky, Shayna, Io, Candice, Dakota Kai, Ember, Cross, Ripley, Bianca, Ruby, Taya Valkyrie, Mercedes Martinez, Sarray, Toni Storm, Kay Lee Ray, Meiko, Viper. There’s absolutely no way whatsoever that anyone could touch them on the men’s side with competent booking. There’s an argument for AEW at full force on the women’s side. The booking is the absolute drizzling shits but there shouldn’t be any doubt about how ridiculously loaded the WWE family is right now. It’s loving insane.

coconono posted:I don't think Cena's gonna be doing AEW at this point. There were introductory exchanges but I think Cena likes the known quantities that Vince's WWE provides. As WWE slowly transitions to Nick Khan's vision, that may change. Cena's a very weird dude. I would not be surprised if he just fuckin snaps one day and they have to keep him locked in a cellar like a balrog. You know drat well that Cena is getting paid to basically not wrestle elsewhere, and Cena probably enjoys the fact that he can come back at any time and be put in the main event. And I don't know why you'd pass that up when your at Cena's level.

There’s a difference between someone like Mox, who loves wrestling and wants to do more in the ring and Cena who the end game with “wrestling” probably IS wwe. Not a knock on Cena as he might actually decide to go wrestle in the Tokyodome or death match with Moxley, but I don’t think that is his bucket list goal. Cena seems happy with what he did and is now working on movies. Good for him. I hope entirely too much that DBry is more in the Moxley camp and gets some more career highlights before finally retiring, as the American Dragon is and was, awesome.

Cena also seems happy ceding creative control to McMahon, which most people at his star level won’t or do it very begrudgingly.

Cena is good or was good until recently. The China stuff stinks tho All his charity work is good and he’s a decent actor. He also annoys people on Reddit who take wrestling way too seriously, which is always good.

Cena is a true-blooded Maoist going deep undercover in China to fight the corruption of Dengist revisionism and return them to the true path of the people.

The real reason is Cena has a huge Chinese fanbase as does the Fast and the Furious franchise and they are bowing to the whims of the CCP and capitalism.

“Following the news that former ESPN and MLB Network host Adnan Virk and WWE parted ways after just seven weeks, CamSoda, a leading adult webcam platform, has come in with an offer for the now unemployed announcer. “Along with hosting some of the best adult content on the internet, CamSoda also promotes Fight Circus, a fight promotion based out of Thailand, and is presenting its third volume on June 19. “The site has offered Virk $50,000 to do play-by-play for the show, which includes a 2-on-1 battle between a UFC veteran and a set of inexperienced brothers, and will have the legendary Bob Sapp captaining a team of fighters.”

tankie just means "the bad kind of commie" now because everyone that's ever tried to do a communism on a national scale has made an utter mess of it(usually with US help). But we still think it will work if everyone helps(just not the way the US helps).

My understanding of Tankie is it's someone who is willing to act as an apologist for oppressive regimes on the basis that they are (at least nominally) Communist or Socialist.
