Firing one of their only remaining draws during a pandemic for not wanting to risk his compromised immune system would be simultaneously despicable and one of the funniest things WWE could do.

Windham Rotunda already got fired though. I just assume he has a compromised immune system anyway.

Brock just recently signed back on after being off for no live touring so yeah Roman would be more baffling, but I think Becky would be an even bigger wtf

Like WWE has a single shred of loyalty to it's wrestlers as it fires them en masse so they can juice their numbers 0.5% on the quarterly balance sheet.

https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/1476046061403738113 continuing from the podcast thread over Punk v Orton we now have Punk wasnt influential for his lack of an athlete physique because of the trailblazers of average physiques in Benoit and Eddie.

Shard posted:It's not just wrestling. I went on a deep dive of stories of terrible management on reddit and the common thread was businesses paying people too little and expecting cult like loyalty from people. Like seriously paying people minimum wage and then telling them they should show more appreciation for the opportunities they are given. Yeah it's literally

Between his Shibata takes and this I think this guy has some of the worst takes on twitter. He's one of those Britwres guys bigged up David Starr pre-speaking out and I think you see a lot of the resentment he feels about that coming out in everything else.

There are like 3 seeds of good points in here but then the sentences just keep going. "I don't think Orton should go in the WON HOF" "his entire career takes place in an era where booking has been mediocre to be kind about it" "When he's motivated and on form he's a genuinely great pro wrestler" That last one comes with a big caveat because I don't think he's ever been a great wrestler, but when he IS motivated and doing goofball poo poo he's at least entertaining. Sadly, that's only been about 6% of his career.

Dave sums up why Orton shouldn't go in here https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/1476251798096605187 Also I think people are starting to turn around on Mistico's WWE run slowly. General opinion used to be that Mistico was also responsible for things not working whereas it's pretty clear that WWE was just being WWE

If nothing else, the fact that they wouldn't let him use La Mistica as his finish was the thing I always saw as a big red flag. It's like the thing you could gif or send a YT clip to people to go "HOLY poo poo THIS GUY IS COOL" so of course WWE don't let him do it.

Also Re Orton - While it took a bit to parse Dave speak this is actually pretty damning for Orton's hall case https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/1476247766003187713 Orton had more PPV shows that drew 10% less from the year before than drew 10% more. That's pretty bad

I don't think Randy Orton would be even a top 5 Danielson opponent of 2021, let alone all time. E: poo poo, forget about 2021, he's not even in the top 5 Danielson opponents from these past three months. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Dec 29, 2021 |

Randy Orton was a 6 or 7 that was pushed like a 10. Would not get my vote for a hall of fame.

“when he’s motivated and on form” funny, in other feds I can watch wrestlers who are so “motivated” to do their day job that it’s not a Notable Event that they finally put on their give-a-drat boots

Randy Orton is me in high school. Except the harassment stuff. https://twitter.com/SnumbersV/status/1464398075473145857 There is a junior Meltzer Said What who is obsessed with the Book of the Year award.
