Being from the arm pit of Western PA I thought I'd heard every racial slur. Thanks Twitter, you never fail to disappoint.

No, according to Bret Hart, Western PA is the rear end in a top hat of America and Pittsburgh's where you'd stick the enema!

I'm sure in the Twitter Vincel brain, since WWE bought ECW, all ECW counts as WWE, and it's therefore the safest place to work ever of all time.

we've had people posted in this thread saying more or less this exact thing, certainly the ecw = wwe bits

He's probably not wrong in that WWE can only ever book two people "well" at any given time.

I agree and I also think that football players should focus less on "touchdowns" and "field goals" and start trying to develop a character. Anyone can "play football". Show me you can do more than just the boring stuff like scoring points and winning games.

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 can sort of understand it. I only really enjoy Sammy Guevara tries to die spotfests and kinda tune out for Brian Danielson vs Danny Garcia style stuff.

That South Park episode where they were "wrestlers" and just stood around in the ring making monologues is proving to be pretty prescient.

I did that when I was young because it was the attitude era and a lot of matches were pretty short and lovely, even for a 10 year old to sit through.

I just want one of them to wind up at the logical conclusion that if TV shows were ranked by total viewers instead of demos, something they scream and yell and cry about being the REAL number, that means WWE would be doing far WORSE than it is now
