Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

Yup



he's gone

I mean, also it's WWE and I'm sure they provide it in an evil way. Only able to use their preferred therapist in a weird location, the office is alerted about your visits, etc.

I can easily see WWE stopping pushing someone because Vince sees using counselling as weakness.

I'm glad he did, but again, WWE plays favorites with poo poo like this. All abusive organizations do.

Jake Atlas being able to get therapy while he was working for WWE and Karl Anderson being unable to get therapy when he got unceremoniously fired are not mutually exclusive concepts.

BAEST MODE!!!
WWE told Tom Cole no when he asked them to pay for his therapy after they gas lit him about the ring boy scandal for decades. Karl Anderson is right.

Here is actual good social media content.

How long was Jake Atlas in the WWE anyway? Six months is like a quarter of his tenure. They dumped him pretty quick.

can't believe how long he floundered before leaning into being The Chair Pervert

I assume it was a result of him/someone else pulling back after the Cody bit hosed up. They pumped the brakes and tried to kill time/come up with something that was different from Chair Pervert that would work. But in the end, he was a perfect ten chair pervert and that is all that needs to be in wrestling.

In his Unrestricted (or maybe a Chris Van Vliet) he talks about how it was very frustrating how everybody organically started calling him the chairman, bit he wasn't allowed to touch anyone with a chair. I can see why they wouldn't want a reprise of Cody getting the back of his head cut open, and I think Tony Khan and Mox blamed Spears for not swinging the chair top-down like they had told him. (apparently Cody told him to swing it horizontally pre-match) I think the magic glove could have got over if he wasn't booked to just use it against guys on Dark every week, but it's all worked out ok in the end.
e: sorry social media thread, I just have Spears opinions.

Yea it's hosed up I started watching 6 months ago and I've gone from thinking he's a 4/10 to a 7/10 with possible room for that opinion to increase further

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.

Watch the princess cup. Itoh is legit loving good. And she has inexplicably become my favorite kind of wrestler, its amazing. She is just a hard brawler type with vicious submissions now and it rules. Judging her based on working soft in the US is gonna result in a complete misidentification of how good she is.
