I can’t properly explain the feeling but all the glee and happiness over tragedy just makes me sad. Dynamite will cheer me up but I know all of you are nicer people than this, not to be judgy, I get it on one level for sure, personally in this moment it makes me feel weird and bad to read it, but like anything upsetting online the sole responsibility is on me to just walk away just close my eyes like that tyler the creator tweet.

Yeah I think I know what you mean. It's kinda hosed up to delight in someone undergoing serious, possibly deadly poo poo, just because they didn't do an amazing job running a wrestling federation and were a selfish performer.

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.

I believe so. I've never actually seen BTM, but AEPodcast recently did Survivor Series 97 and they talked about how Julie Hart tore into HHH backstage and he stood there looking like a scolded schoolboy.

Kefin may have a bad recollection of most things, but that clip definitely fits his description.

It probably did, because I'm sure Cole was like "understood, and no hard feelings, but I'd rather wrestle and I'm going to go where I can do that." And Vince, who didn't want Cole wrestling on his show, probably shook his hand and wished him well with that.

the funniest part of this is AEW being on record saying they'd work with WWE in a heartbeat if they were open to a mutual relationship. Vince's desire to control and own everything in wrestling is WWE's biggest weakness

Stop taking xyonquin if you're pregnant or may become pregnant. If you lose sensation in your extremities while on xyonquin, talk to your doctor, as this may be a symptom of a rare but life-threatening condition.

It's important to remember that WWE beat WCW because of WCW's idiocy rather than WWE being a genius creative force.

What I'm saying is that Vince is a loving idiot.

GREG IS BIG NOW


I am still genuinely shocked by their pitch to Adam Cole.

"We're gonna rename you to Chugs Bingbong because we're afraid that the WWE universe can't distinguish between two people named Cole and put you as the manager to a dude we don't care about who might legitimately die in a wrestling ring because of health complications he acquired while working for us. It'll be just like Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush! Where's Lio Rush, you ask? Oh, don't worry about it. Also you can't stream on Twitch anymore."
