What's hilarious is when I went to cancel the network after that first KSA show they had very obviously removed the option to give feedback on why you cancelled. I think it was the last KSA show and the death(and her experience in Kuwait that I didn't know of) of Massaro that got my to say "gently caress this company forever. I'll never pay for them a cent" and so far I haven't. I wasn't spending that much just the occasional ticket for the show when it came to Chicago. Which judging by the the early post in this thread the prices are insane.

The talk about Stephanie and Dusty just reminded me of the story of how when one of the celebrity writers they had, I can't remember if it was Freddie Prinze Jr or Patrice O'Neal, got fired by WWE they were just like "Ok cool" and Stephanie kept calling them being like "We're serious you know!" cause she was expecting them to be devastated and beg for their job back or whatever. In the McMahons world, all of their employees are desperate to work for them and the idea that anyone would simply walk away is confounding and scary.

Max Landis should work for WWE. He's a piece of poo poo abuser that relies on nepotism and is awful on Twitter, he would fit right in there.

I doubt he would do that. his father murdered three people (two children) with the spinning blades of a helicopter, and got away with it.

Is that image a foot pointing upward? it looks like toes on the top and a heel at the bottom. it was probably easier to see back when everyone was using very low monitor resolution.

He seems like the sort of guy they would haze the poo poo out of, and he's connected and petty enough to cause them a lot of PR pain.

I think he did some advising, I don’t think he was writer for a year. Yes you can say a lot about him, but With his ego, he would’ve quit after the third rewrite of the night.

I saw this on tv while I was waiting for dynamite to start and it looked unbelievably bad. Roman yeets the guy but you don’t see anything else after, no impact or table bump or crash pad or anything. They just cut away and a few moments later the guy is convulsing on the ground.

Did Raquel actually call herself the first Mexican and Latin American woman to be a champ, because it looks like it was WWE that did that in the tweet.

It wasn’t just that his matches were boring and samey, he also was a racist caricature, who was racist to Shinsuke Nakamura in a way that would’ve been off putting in the 2000s, and his back looked like a topical map of Mars.

Also, Jinder, (the performer), was always fun and charming doing his 3 man band stuff. But that could be put down to Heat Slater's preternatural goofy affability, as well as his later sucking being down to WWE booking to a performers weaknesses.

The Most Wanted Treasures is entertaining, I think. The Jake Roberts one was pretty good. They're kind of biographical as well. So of course since it's good they'd lay off the people responsible for it. Though apparently the next one is about getting stuff related to Andre, and it stars Big Show and Mark Henry.
