WWE is likely getting sold and they're trading all of their talented wrestlers for giants who likely wont be able to go in the ring - this is a dream scenario for those of us who are looking forward to comedy

DogsInSpace! posted:Hah. I bet you it was a company mandated "well we got this guy (raving loony talking about chemtrails, cheese pizza and white genocide) and this other guy (who got mad at the guy shouting at him and had enough) who got into a situation. Better fire them both." It sounds like there really wasn't any other reason to fire him, at least as far as he knew: Observer Newsletter posted:EJ Nduka, who was the 6-foot-6 ½ pro bodybuilder who played college football that was a big surprise when he was cut, did an interview with “Ringsiders Wrestling” (Post Wrestling transcription) about how shocked he was when he was let go, and he thought it was some Candid Camera like game show segment. “Oh yeah (my release came as a shock). Every time I met with Canyon (Ceman), it was either a good meeting or I was getting a raise, so when I came into work Wednesday, 8 a.m. I’m still waking up, I just walked in the PC, I’m getting ready to go get ready, put my shoes on, my boots and everything and one of the assistants says, `Hey, EJ, you have a meeting today.’ I said, `No I didn’t have a meeting on my schedule.’ She was like, `Oh yeah, Canyon wants to talk to you.’ So then I start smiling because anytime I talk to Canyon, I’m getting a raise, so I’m smiling ear-to-ear and he comes to the door and he’s kind of like, he wasn’t smiling. He was kind of like, really serious so I’m like what the hell is going on here? So I follow him back to the conference room and he looks at me and he basically says, `This is one of the hardest releases I’ve done but, we’re gonna have to let you go.’ I thought I was on Candid Camera. I thought Ashton Kutcher was gonna come out. At first, I think I literally said, `Quit playing.’ I said, `Stop playing,’ and then I start looking around in my seat thinking the cameras are gonna come out because we rib each other all the time. Although Canyon and I don’t have that relationship where I play pranks on him but that’s kind of the things that we do, the boys do at the P.C. like in our downtime. We joke around so I thought I was getting ribbed. Like I wholeheartedly--but then he turned, he sat back and he kind of started getting a little red and I was like, ‘Are you serious right now?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah,’ and I said, ‘Why?’ And he says, ‘Budget cuts’ and I’m like, ‘What!?’ And it took me literally like five minutes to process it because everything that I have heard up until that point was how athletic I was, my charisma, how well I was picking things up and so it kind of caught me off guard big time. I was totally blindsided.

Even though I know the answer is going to be not to mention it or anything I do wonder what they do with Big E tonight. Black attacked him allowing Apollo to cover for the pin to retain the title. I'll laugh if they edit the replay of the match to take out Black's interference And for SmackDown tonight we have: Rey and Rey's large adult son vs The Usos for the titles Bianca and Bayley will have some segment about a challenge Bianca has for her

Ricochet was pinned by the poop 30 seconds later.

Not particularly relevant to current discussion, and not WWE related since he was sacked recently. But re: the choo choo train noises they added for Braun. Were these designed to mock him, or to get him over? Was it a stupid thing to try and make the guy they knew they were overpaying look stupid, or was it an extra piece of creative input that they thought would appeal to ... somebody? Neither makes WWE management look good.

SD https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-results/wwe-smackdown-live-results-two-title-matches-343231 Roman Reigns promo interrupted by the Usos. Jimmy still won't acknowledge Reigns, but says they're about to win the SD tag titles for a 7th time. Reigns wishes them luck, and points out when he says he'll do something, he does it. With the whole family watching this title match at home, it'd be wise if Jimmy keeps his word about this one The Mysterios retain the SD tag titles over the Usos; Dominik pins Jimmy. Jimmy had the far shoulder up well before the 3 but the ref didn't see it. Reigns is pissed backstage at the loss, wants this fixed tonight, and points out them being 6 time champs and being booked for Mania once. He looks at Jey and calls him Jimmy; Jey corrects Reigns, who says "the way things are going, does it matter anyway?" Seth Rollins won't answer questions about why he destroyed Cesaro Chad Gable makes fun of Street Profits being losers (4-8 this year already), but they laugh off his attempts at helping The Usos confront Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce, who insist they'll make a decision tonight about the ruling Carmella defeats Liv Morgan Sonya and Adam stop the Mysterios from leaving, and say there'll be a rematch tonight. The Mysterios understand Bianca Belair can't deal with someone laughing at her, let alone constantly, so she challenges Bayley for Hell in a Cell. Bayley says via satellite she's been laughing at people like her all her life, accepts the challenge, and says when she wins, she's not the only one that'll be laughing. The segment ends with Bayley laughing as all the faces on the Thunderdome are replaced by the satellite feed of Bayley laughing, all around Bianca Street Profits tell Otis Gable's holding him back. Otis doesn't listen and beats up both of them King Corbin defeats Shinsuke Nakamura (with Rick Boogs). Postmatch he tries to take back the crown but Boogs holds him while Nakamura attacks and takes it back Apollo Crews retains the IC title over Kevin Owens; despite Commander Azeez being banned from ringside, Azeez makes up for it by attacking Owens backstage before the match starts. Postmatch Sami Zayn beats Owens up more Next week: Street Profits vs Otis and Gable The Mysterios retain the SD titles over the Usos by DQ; Dominik had Jimmy beat again and Reigns comes out and destroys both the Mysterios singlehandedly, including with steps. He chokes out Dominik in front of the Usos, even as Jimmy asks him to stop. Jey tries to leave with Jimmy, Reigns briefly stops him, then beats up Dominik more Chris James 2 fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Jun 5, 2021 |

So Nakamura has Rick Boogs as a minion now. They should bring back the violinist, and slowly have Nakamura accumulate a rock band. There is endless opportunities for hilarity as jobbers try to audition with their Triangles, or Ocarinas or whatever. (Much like Billie Kay auditioning to be in the Riott Squadd)
