catering is the location of the catering service that the show is using to feed the talent during the filming day. People being trapped in catering are showing up to work and then not being used on the show so they just kind of hang around catering.

you had to show up to the arena for work, but you're not actually booked on the show, so you sit in catering all day/night and go home

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
I think it was initially a WCW thing (they flew literally everyone to every TV taping even when they had a roster of roughly 2 million; one of their efficiency savings was the radical move of only flying needed people to TV) but WWE started doing it and now they have so much money it’s the sort of thing they can do to enable their scattershot dumb booking and screw the cost or the morale impacts

Which is why it makes no sense at all as an insult for WWE who book their shows ahead of time and tend to use everyone they bring in. Worst that happens is you'll have a match on Dark.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Trying to get in a little late to the party on saying bad things about AEW to grift WWE fans because WWE fans are the most oppressed fans in wrestling. Known for saying things like "Latinx wrestlers and Asians don't count as PoC in America because they have Lucha Libre and Puro" and generally talking about how AEW doesn't treat their black wrestlers as good as WWE because they put their secondary World Title on people like Kofi and Bianca while forgetting how badly they were actually booked as champion before losing them in seconds to white people.

While he might have some valid points on the visibility of black wrestlers it's mostly fake concern for clicks, even black wrestling twitter are calling him out now

he's been a pro-wwe troll for a while now. he wrote an article on how cool it is that hulk hogan survived getting cancelled and could return to wwe back in 2017, and now his grift is acting like the company that has a decades long history of overt racism is woke, actually

ThisisNasty got impressively low engagement for years and years, and really even now doing phrenology doesn't do incredible engagement for most of his posts. Even when he was agreeing with Raj's remark that Shida is only pushed because she's dating Kenny (neither of which are true) on a podcast he got basically forgotten compared to Raj.

And Ruby Soho is very much a perfect example of WWE squandering talent with maximum efficiency. If utilised appropriately, at worst Ruby Riott would have been a solid hand in the women's division with a few title runs under her belt.

I said before that Bryan Danielson, Malakai Black, Adam Cole and Andrade leaving WWE for AEW is akin to Jericho or the Radicalz leaving WCW for the WWF. Honestly, you could probably put her move to AEW into a similar category.

They're watching for the characters and the stories and the drama and the moments. The wrestling is a brief interlude to hit a plot beat, like Drew coming into Smackdown, Sami Zayne confronting him and Drew beating him in a match isn't about what happened in the match, it's that Drew won and that means he's strong and should be treated like a big deal, while Sami is a dork who can't beat the new guy.

If you want to watch poorly acted & scripted dramas that don't feature lots of wrestling & are absolute full of continuity fuckups & treat the audience like morons there's probably better choices out there for you than wrestling though.
