STOP DOING HEROIN

Also, to be fair, Breakker is probably the closest to a sure thing that Vince will actually recognise as such that NXT's had in like 5 years.

I'm not even sure this is true. Vince famously hates amateur wrestler types and he never liked the Steiners (which is probably why they renamed him in the first place).

Bron is probably the best 2.0 guy they have, but could very well have a glass ceiling. Everyone else on that show comes off as JAGs.

Counterpoint: Kurt Angle

He's probably an exception though

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 forget if it was Triple H or more higher ups who argued against Kurt Angle being treated as legit because he was Too Short.

AEW is bad for not allowing hate speech on their show apparently. I'm sure WWE would never confiscate an offensive sign.

Also that the first amendment applies to private enterprise or gives you a right imbued by God to be an obnoxious abusive heckler to shout whatever the gently caress you want for iwning a ticket.

The past of year of assholes saying that businesses requiring masks was infringing on the first amendment really made me realize how most people who quote it have no idea what it actually means.

Apparently going to a wrestling show used to be a safe place where you could go and get all the hate speech out of your system. Real shame what happened.
