Marko would be funny just to see the turnaround by all the WWE/Cornette stans who've shat on him these last two years.

Or: The heel character of Brit Baker, clout chasing, has gotten in contact with a famous character actor and convinced him to play the character for her on TV, but that character actor does not, in kayfabe, think he is her real sensei, he's just playing along with the game she wants him to play.

Remember when Bully Ray said that Goldberg should end Roman Reigns undefeated streak for no reason and then just immediately lose the belt back to him on the next tv taping?

Not even actual bookers are good at fantasy booking

Is this all because WWE didn't edit out Moxley for the video packages for Reigns/Rollins in the build to their Rumble match? I know never say never but having read Moxley's book and seeing how genuinely happy he is outside of WWE I just don't get how anyone could believe he is coming back.

Given the number of twitter geniuses who genuinely believe that Moxley's drinking people started in AEW? A lot.

Also, the angle is “going for the title to try to win in,” the thing wrestling has been built upon since 1900

But maybe Disco would never know that because he never sniffed a title

They also pointed out at the beginning of the match that Sammy had never beaten Darby one on one in AEW.

It's partly that but also Cody jumping ship. I honestly still can't believe Cody is dumb enough to do that after literally starting AEW with The Elite. If that can happen it definitely makes me wonder what other weird poo poo could happen but as far as Mox goes his book is pretty clear. He's not going back unless AEW somehow folds and that's not happening anytime soon.

I'm amazed people think that if Cody returned he would get cheered. The one sure bet for getting a gently caress you reaction is suggesting you are going to WWE and the fans already hated Cody. Hope he enjoys wearing polka dots like his dad.

I mean, he did start biting people a lot more in AEW (and NJPW), so maybe that is where his vampirism started?

His alcoholism was probably before that though.

Wonder if anyone pointed out to him that WWF hired Leslie Nielsen to find the real Undertaker, or that Crash Holly hired Shaft to protect his Hardcore title.

Or more recently, Miz was eaten by zombies.

Or there was that time the Muppets were guest hosts of Raw. (I remember that night because Hager got the most heat he's ever gotten by holding Kermit's mouth shut.)

It is canon that Sheamus is related to Beaker from the Muppets.

Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!
IT'S THEIR VERSION OF THE TV TITLE! HE HELD THE TV TITLE TWICE IN WCW! THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE TV TITLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CHAMPION TO TAKES ON ALL COMERS ON A WEEKLY OR NEAR-WEEKLY BASIS!

Even by Disco standards, this is a completely mind-boggling take.
