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.
It is pretty funny that dirtsheet readers after two decades are finally up in arms about taping results and spoilers. They're part of the reason the whole thing exists.

It's not so much this as much as it is Bryan trolling the people that complained he had intonation that have away the results when he would read cards for taped shows. Which is insane.

Bryan misses the point as always. It's not about all the obvious results, but if you settle into a pattern with those, then the upsets will get spoiled. I'm remembering the way he talked about the Sammy/Cody taped Rampage, all he said was "there were actually some surprises" or something like that. Like how else am I supposed to take that?

No observer freak should ever complain about getting extra information thats what you're paying them for you stupid observer freaks if you didn't want all the secret scoops you wouldn't be paying your $30 a month or whatever it is these days to get all the secret scoops

No pity for any observer freak imo

people complaining in the Bryan and Vinny Dynamite reviews when they did the Rampage rundown, on the show, that they could tell the results because of intonation

yes.

Are Bryan and Vinny taking advantage of the fact that NXT's only viewers are old people who fell asleep in front of the television to just make up the results entirely now? Because there's no way what they described as happening ACTUALLY happened this week :stare:

....they really weren't kidding, that shove looked fake as poo poo, the fall looked awful, and then weird robed dudes just fell on him while he shouted "get off me". Honestly felt more like sexual assault than bloodsucking.

And yeah directed awfully.

It’s the same process that turned retribution from “antifa mobs” straight out of a tucker Carlson report to just 5 generically angsty wrestlers doing bane cosplay. I assume it’s Vince or Prichard or one guy gets a big Fox News based gimmick in his head but loses interest quick enough that the relatively more normal creative people can file it down into something blander but less aggressively stupid.

tbh Raw and Smackdown should just do the NOAH thing and lean in heavily on the over-50s demo

idk who are the best old wrestlers in the US nowadays, but gently caress it, get them all on the main roster, especially Vince, put them over your current main eventers (except for Roman, of course), shift your advertising focus to old people poo poo like easy chairs and shady prescription drugs, and hey presto, you've got the hottest show in sports entertainment once again (amongst geriatrics anyway)
