Actually Camera Cuts Good is a new one on me, my assumption was always that these people just grit their teeth and dealt with WWE's poo poo production because they got to see their favorites.

At this point I think they're hoping history will vindicate them. Except they've been doing cuts more for 20 years now so we have a large sample size of "this is poo poo".

When I think refs who didn't try to get over I think Nick Patrick the referee for the NWO who had a PPV match against Jericho and Charles "Lil Naitch" Robinson who was Flair's lackey until Macho Man nearly killed him with an elbow drop.

There's so many things wrong with this:

a) She's not 'just a ref', she's the project coordinator, she works in AEW Games, and she co-hosts their podcast.

b) Aubrey Edwards is not a bigger television character than Nick Patrick or even Lil Naitch.

c) What does 'being a star' have to do with copyright striking some videos?

d) AEW Botches claiming to have a trusted source inside AEW who could know all this very specific info. Who within AEW would even know for sure if she did do this?

e) This 'source' just happens to be able to point blame at a specific known woman in the company instead of some unknown social media or tech-related employee. I'm trying to imagine Aubrey first knowing about this channel, and then, giving enough of a gently caress to get in contact with the legal department to get stuff taken down. Is that the legal department's job? Seems unlikely to me.

f) Kenny Olivier is apparently Jim Cornette's stupid name for Omega, because being compared to Laurence Olivier is apparently a huge burn? There's nothing about being a wrestler that involves acting of course. Seems like this person's Twitter is suspended too, so maybe he's just not good at keeping his content from getting deplatformed for... some reason.

WWE is really putting everything into Theory being their next star with a push and backing not seen since Roman. They're trying to manifest it desperately as they freak out that Roman's going to walk for Hollywood and has reached peak age for McMahon. It's not working because it's Theory, he never had The Shield he's just a guy.

even aside from Roman's history in the Shield, pushing Roman as a mega star at least makes sense in that he is an attractive man with a good face and not a repulsive toad person

Lashley got a much, much harder push. Drew too. They doing the half push with lots of jobs and just associating him with Vince for months where the actual people they push hard just never lose.

Laurence Olivier was an actor and actors are gay. Kenny is gay and is bad. Therefore, the gay man is like an actor because reasons.

Cornette’s logic is infallible, don’t try to argue with it.

True, but like Bpbby and Drew they came tested (both having been tried and failed before having to make their bones elsewhere). Roman and Theory are WWE products, and while they push their products hard in the past (Corbin most notoriously) it does feel like they see something in Theory that just isn't there.

Maybe, Evolve was such a vector proxy developmental for WWE for so long its always weird seeing how much talent went through there. It is also the reason why the official WWE youtube has an Eddie Kingston promo on it.

I mean, you're right, but considering WWA4 was a feeder school for Evolve (and is still a feeder school for WWN if their website is any indication), and Evolve was a feeder promotion for the Fed, idk if that was a political decision from above to have him win the belt in his debut

anyway, that's probably a load of bullshit, because apparently he wrestled in a three way match at Glory Pro the week before he won the belt, so chances are he wrestled a few other matches before then that haven't made it onto Cagematch, or something like that

what I'm saying is that it's not hard to see where the whole 'industry plant' thing comes from at this point
