I don’t necessarily think AEW should sign Ric Flair but it would be funny.

And in a way they're right, if you want to be happy in a dysfunctional work environment you have to figure out how to deal with that part of you that screams 'THIS IS loving STUPID'. But you know, when you work at a place that actually wants to grow and improve they generally think that passion is a good thing. Even if you're a job guy you can figure out how to be a better job guy.

I don't think he'll get signed to a long-term contract or anything, but he will 100% be making appearances at some point. Having him show up is one step closer towards a Horsemen reunion and TK has got to be drooling at the idea of that.

The natural angle for me would be to have Flair come in for like a month to manage someone feuding with Darby so we can put him across a ring from Sting. Ooh, maybe if Darby feuds with MJF at some point.

AEW should sign Flair and have him and Sting recreate the Shockmaster's debut on BTE and then not do anything else with him.

Keith lee was better than karrion Kross on nxt and him still being better than him on raw is at least logically consistent

Pinstripe Hourglass posted:Wait is his name just Riddle now When you googled Matt Riddle his rape allegations came up so they changed it. When you googled Riddle....you just got riddles. When you googled WWE Riddle, you still got the rape allegations, but they did the change anyway! Also, the fun facts of "rides a scooter around" and "Randy Orton is his best friend" are insulting to my intelligence to see actually written on screen.

A random WWE question very slightly related to one of their recent releases: Is Mick Foley still drawing a paycheck from WWE? Is he on a Legends Contract? Also does Dewey still work for them?

Pylons posted:One year ago today we had both Raw Underground and RETRIBUTION debut. Share your favorite memories. Okay, something about Retribution (and other vandalism type angles) that bugs me... They're backstage at an arena, so all of the offices they trash and windows they break and walls they put holes in are the property of Madison Square Garden or the Cow Palace or whatever. They'd be dealing with the owners of the building, not the WWE unless they hosed with production equipment or something. And yet it's always portrayed as an attack on the company. EDIT: gently caress, never mind, they were at the Performance Center, that makes sense.

I meant in kayfabe, the idea that trashing an area of the arena would somehow hurt the company. Like when Orton destroyed the Legends Bar or whatever the gently caress that was when he wore Adam Bomb glasses.

WWE is written like a soap opera or sitcom where they assume they have maybe four different "sets" for any given episode. so it's like Ring, Office, Big Hallway With Dumpsters In It, Parking Garage. then they go to an arena, hang up a couple posters of Vince or a logo, maybe stick a TV in the corner of a room, and pretend that wherever they are is where they have always been, so any damage done isn't vandalism of a regional sportertainment complex that didn't have a hockey game last night, it was a crime against Vince, and wrestling

I guess if you wanted to try and force logic into arena destruction, you could say that arenas don't want to host WWE anymore because their poo poo always gets broken by the definitely not Antifa group when they come around.

They’re just putting down the cue cards Vince has written to remember who people are now, like on The Office when Michael’s card about Dwight said “Tall” and “Beets.”
