Rock then shows up on Dynamite and throws the title in the trash. He has more than enough money* to pay however much WWE would sue him for that.

There is a Tooth Fairy 2 and they replaced The Rock with Larry The Cable Guy. The We Hate Movies podcast did an episode on it.

What's so insane is that I don't remember them screwing up this badly and regularly during the dark days of the mid-90s/New Generation when they were hemorrhaging stars and going broke. There were mistakes and poo poo, but nothing on the level of catastrophic gently caress-ups over the last few years.

King Mabel's push was the lowest of the low, but it only lasted two major PPVs and Vince moved on when it was obvious he couldn't work. We're bringing back Goldberg! Again! Who has two moves and can't hit one of them anymore!

I think the difference is back then they were truly trying to put out a good product and were doing a bad job of it, whereas today they are making obscene amounts of money from their TV/Peacock deals so their only incentive is to do the bare minimum to meet their contractual obligations.

At some point WWE's gonna evolve into one of those Youtube content farms that shovels out shoddily-animated AI scripted videos, except instead of Spiderman and Frozen Elsa it'll be like, Baron Corbin doing Fortnite dances with Sirenhead for 3 hours.

they know it works. they took away everyone's third party/streaming abilities, and nobody did poo poo. They broke up New Day, and they didn't do poo poo. Even Zelina came back after tweeting pro-union stuff, and then deleted it when re-hired. The most anyone has done to go against the grain was saying No to Saudi Arabia. WWE knows their roster doesn't have the guts to do jack poo poo so they'll keep loving with them forever.

Even people that tried to wait out the pandemic eventually came back long before things got better, especially within the company.

good thing the new day made a pact to quit if they ever got split up or whatever

edit: to be clear i don't necessarily think they should quit or be beholden to that claim, they have pretty sweet deals all things considered and kofimania did happen which was one of the last really great things that WWE did imo

To be fair, it's probably a huge leap if WWE is the only promotion that you know. IIRC Big E was directly recruited from the college weight room and Kofi was just about ready to break out from his wrestling school promotion when he qualified at a WWE tryout. Xavier Woods seems to have the most amount of pre-WWE experience so that may be a reason why he has contingencies in place like a spot at G4.

It really is amazing how much WWE wrestlers let the company walk all over them. Is the "WWE Dream" really that baked into every wrestler's head that they refuse to let it go even when it's blatantly obvious how little the company cares about them?

lol It absolutely rules that they just sent Mandy Rose (half of a tag team that they spent time making look like a real team) down to NXT and also called up two random NXT women and made them a tag team and then put both members of the tag champs in the MITB match. They don’t have enough tag teams for their tag division. They don’t have enough singles stars for their MITB match. And even when they’re actively moving women between rosters, they’re doing it in ways that alleviate none of these problems. It’s so funny.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
