I wonder if it was due to the pandemic and some of the workers not wanting to come into work under such conditions. In the same way, I wonder if we've had a glut of repeat matches because of the limited roster (lol) or because they didn't want to do anything dramatic due to the pandemic/hiring of Khan and him getting used to his duties.

The repetitive booking has been around a lot longer than the pandemic

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
WALTER is the only wrestler in modern era WWE who has been entirely not harmed in any way in wrestling or image and its a miracle. When he does show up he is still always over, he still puts on classics with a four move moveset, never got in WWE shape, and i'm saying this to jinx it so they instantly decide to put Jeff Hardy over him and then he bails.

Hasn't WALTER said he's never moving to the US? Kinda implies he has no interest in the main roster.

In some ways the pandemic was great for WWE cause after almost 2 years of dogshit terrible Thunderdome shows people are just gonna be memoryholed into believing everything bad about Raw/Smackdown was because of the pandemic and DEFINITELY wasn't happening long before Covid was a thing. As if CM Punk wasn't sitting on the stage with a microphone complaining about the *Exact Same poo poo* a Decade ago.

It happened and he was the most over guy in the match and it had zero lasting damage as most people remember it as WALTER being awesome before getting eliminated and no one can remember who pinned him or the rest of the match. His aura is too powerful.

WWE stans aren't wrestling fans, they're Vincepilled cultists of the fed. Hell, sometimes they even hate the wrestlers there as much as the senile old man.

It really does say something when you check out the people making GBS threads on AEW constantly, and they always have something in their profile about being a WWE fan. Not a wrestling fan, a WWE fan.

It’s gonna be a long time before the damage he did to this entertainment media fixes any of the brainworms. Maybe after the NBC buyout, some of those folks will fall out of the cult, because Vince gone.

When they kidnap a cruiserweight and harvest them for adrenochrome they create a computer simulation of them wrestling in an empty room as proof of life, and they call that simulation 205 Live.

Rebrand 205 Live as Shotgun Saturday Night and have cruiserweights fight one another in bars and on subway platforms each week.

It seems especially sketchy for anything related to wrestling. But I do love the idea WWE brass are leaking to Meltzer “we totally never wanted Punk anyway” out of fear he might have signed with AEW.
