Ugh, I just saw the match. Thankfully, reports say she seemed fine backstage - probably got the wind knocked out of her.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
The new trademark reminds me of when Corey Graves started his podcast and lectured fans on the proper way to criticize things.

This is starting to remind me of comments from fans of a certain film director, who'd argue "If that's what he intended to do, then it can't be critized."

I first heard that about Kevin Smith when he made that awful Jersey Girl movie.

The idea he expressed was that it's "not for critics" so... I guess you can't review it or something?

Lmao this comparison is way too apt. It doesn't help that his fanbase also has quite the number of chuds, so much so that he had to do media rounds trying to convince people he's not one himself and finally denounce some of the chuds on livestream.

I had someone in CD tell me unless Snyder himself criticized an aspect of his film, I couldn't criticize the same aspect.

I didn't say the entire fanbase. It's interesting that his non-chud fans seem to entirely ignore that segment of his fans though and pretend like they don't exist, I see comments like yours brought up every time the conversation gets around to them.

Remember when CM Punk got paid millions of dollars to show up on a WWE talk show and everyone freaked the gently caress out assuming that meant he was definitely for sure coming back to WWE to wrestle Seth Rollins or whatever, and instead he showed up on the talk show like 4 times and then it got cancelled

Rollins going AAHHHH WRESTLE ME WRESTLE ME WRESTLE ME at the top of his lungs and Punk being like "Knock it off, you loving dork." was awesome.

Ok, I was waffling on Punk coming to AEW, but if it gives us Punk vs. Mox just so Seth can have an aneurysm, I'm in

He put the WWE title in a fridge

He pooped himself in some random match

WWE made a video of his rear end to show he was lying about MRSA (he wasn’t). I think it’s still up on WWE’s youtube page

Otherwise besides some fun feuding with DBry and palling around with Heyman between Lesnar dates, loads of wasted potential. Dude was the biggest potential draw in years and they jobbed him to Alberto Del Rio via Kevin Nash interference. Never really recovered despite getting the belt again for a year-long run after.

Plus he lived his life in such a way that WWE was compelled to release a 6 minute collection of silent, short clips of his butt during the royal rumble to prove their innocence that was pretty funny
