Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Is Doug implying this is an actual storyline or is he proposing a storyline to take advantage of the situation?

If it's the first one - that's funny. If it's the second one - it's sad that the best storyline he can imagine is just basically the Invasion again.

I said AFAIK, as in I wasn't aware of whether or not she was Afro-Columbian or how she personally identifies. That isn't the same as doing a racism, you weirdo.

Yo, realtalk it’s far more constructive to educate than to just dogpile. Let’s use this as a learning opportunity to improve and be better.

Please try not to speculate on someone’s skin color/heritage. It’s a common habit in a lot of cultures so I understand why people do it, but it’s not a good habit so let’s work together and get rid of it.

If you want to talk feel free to hit me up in PMs or on the PSP Discord.

BAEST MODE!!!
I was extremely excited for ThisisNasty's views on the Brandi segment. Would he love it? Would he hate it? Would he be the only person on Earth to decide it might be contract tampering?

quote:

Brandi Rhodes seemed to tamper with IMPACT’s Josh Alexander by telling Ethan Page the only reason AEW signed him was to get to Alexander.

This crowd sided with Dan Lambert, and was all over Brandi Rhodes, chanting “shut the [expletive] up!” Between Brandi Rhodes and Cody Rhodes, it’s hard to decipher who gets booed louder.

This segment ended with a brawl between Brandi Rhodes and Paige Van Zant.

I know it's the goon thing to invent things to be mad at, but nobody said the thing you're quoting. Literally the only subtext was that I'd only ever seen her identify as Latina, but if that's not true, fine! You don't have to project extra things onto that! Move on.

That's not remotely what you said at all:

Nowhere in your initial post is there a combo of words that says "Red Velvet has said that she identifies as Latina/Columbian", so maybe it is not the others who are wrong in this case, Principal Skinner :colbert:

AEW should fly Alfred to a press event somewhere in Russia and not actually have an event just to waste his time and leave him stranded without a hotel or anything.

OP isn't white, so maybe don't go hard for the side strawmanning gross nazi skull measurement poo poo at them.
I'm 99% sure they mentioned Josh Alexander because he's been public about wanting to be in the Owen Cup. His Impact contract is up this month, but he pretty much said he loves it there and he's not going anywhere unless the money's right. Though it's not like beating Impact's budget would be an issue for TK if he wanted him.
