sticklefifer posted:Wait until they hear about NJPW also having two guys named Takahashi. Vince to Johnny Ace "we freed up some budget, sign that hot Takahashi guy from New Japan!" "you got it boss!" *a few months later* "jjjjjjjjooooooHNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" *dunk da dunk da didddle dee dunk* (It's confirmed Johnny Ace once signed the wrong "one legged" wrester, and less confirmed but fits the time frame the entire reason Yoshi Tatsu was signed to WWE was he was meant to sign the NJPW up and comer Hiroshi Tanahashi and couldn't tell the difference with Naofumi Yamamoto) Also a twitter random being smarter than other twitter randoms is like a double rainbow https://twitter.com/TommyToughnuts3/status/1421626160321081346

Yeah, I was like "Hey, they got TAKA for some dates, neat" because it's just so alien to me that anyone could even pretend to mistake Tanahashi and him.

It's even dumber because he says he's the INDEED guy, which was Funaki. He did a triple racism.

It feels like Part 2 of the ACH "you can't talk about the issues because he might be mentally unwell" concern trolling. Like a different shade of "now is not the time to talk about gun control".

Zombie Lemur posted:Vince owns the company and its hos. E: just so this isn't a complete emptypost, I will say that reading some of the WWE stans trying to rationalize/cope with Bray Wyatt being released is giving me some serious flashbacks to the 2020 election, when the hardcore chuds were trying every trick in the book to try and convince themselves that Trump was on his way to a second term

Benne posted:Bray Wyatt won Worst Gimmick twice, Worst Feud of the Year three times, and Worst Match of the Year four times. "Overrated" was the least of his problems. And he might win worst feud and match this year for his WrestleMania match. I think that Alexa is a shoe in for worst gimmick so that might let Bray get an honourable mention as well.

I know it's because they are bad faith actors but it is a little disturbing to see the "don't believe the dirt sheets" types parroting about how he was taking time off for mental health issues and we can't know the real reason he was released. I don't think I've seen a reliable source reporting that he was taking time off for mental health issues.

Yeah, the mental heath deflect is weird and dumb because there is an obvious answer. He got cut because he was someone who wasn't just a cog in the machine.

I legit think it's less tribalism and more bewildering mental illness, idk how else to explain the poo poo I see on the reg from the twitter users we post here. Like not even just being a stubborn fan, like legit "tweeting 100 times a day at people" and saying incredibly stupid poo poo regularly
