If that's true, why are they making her work at all? That sounds like a painful debilitating injury.

I mean, with all respect to Ms. Blackheart, she is not so important that they NEED her on TV. So surely she can rest up/get looked at by a doctor. And surely she can say "I need to see the doctor, coz I can't put weight on my feet in the morning."

But stuff like this is part of the intangible wrongness around WWE culture. The "I don't care how much pain I am in, I have to throw myself at the ground in a meaningless match on TV otherwise a senile racist might think less of me." culture.

Sounds like a good way to have someone Take Your Spot

POST Wrestling can confirm that Vince McMahon is expected to launch a program with Pat McAfee, which will include WrestleMania 38.

Multiple sources informed us that McAfee was set for something on the show involving McMahon.

When speaking with a source with knowledge of the situation and whether it will be billed as an official match on the WrestleMania card, we were told “most likely.”

People demanded a new brand split in 2016 and used many of the same arguments as are now being used for getting rid of it. Maybe WWE are just bad at this no matter how their roster is set up?

(Though just from an aesthetic standpoint, the brand split has never made much sense to me).

When they do the brand split, each roster is limited and they end up repeating the same match each week.

Without the brand split, they have no restraints and get lazy and do 50/50 booking of the same matches on Smackdown.

There is no winning as a fan.

If they restricted each wrestler to one show or the other it would be fine. But you know that they wont.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Jackie D posted:

We know the contract details of every player in a major sport, it would be good for wrestlers to have their salaries made public but, as always, wrestlers are very dumb

So sometimes those player contracts in other sports are estimated. Like in the NBA some teams don't release their specific contract details. Because of the way the salary is structured, you can make pretty good guesses, but it's not unusual for these contracts to have incentives or options that end up changing the final amount of that contract quite a bit, even if they don't change the cap number.


Your point is good, I'm just pedantic about this.

Adam Pearce was already in the ring with security for the singing. Reigns demanded that Hershey acknowledge him. The fans gave him a mixed response. Heyman called Reigns vs. Lesnar the biggest match in WrestleMania history.

Heyman said it's bigger than Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant, Steve Austin vs. The Rock, and the night he ended the Undertaker's streak. Heyman even gave credit to Lesnar for helping end Undertaker's streak.

Is it specifically WWE culture, or wrestling culture in general? I'm thinking here of Kenny Omega working for a year with vertigo attacks and his shoulders basically hanging on by a single thread.

Kenny was World Champion and an EVP for a company he helped start. Shotzi has no reason to put herself through that other than fear of being fired

There shouldn't be a hyphen in "all time" in this image!!!! This will be the mistake that finally takes down the WWF

Also I thought Roman's promo in that Brock destroying security segment was neat. Feel like the character has stagnated bad ever since he got the second Uso on his side, but I guess they can let him do interesting stuff again now that he's having one of the two matches he could plausibly lose
