When one saw HHH spinning the 'bars' line I could almost see the WWE diehards absorbing the new spin. 'NARRATIVE INSTALLED. RUN BARS.EXE.'

yikes.


oh, I love this one. They clearly missed the part near the start where Excalibur specified that Rush hasn't been pinned in over a year (which Mox probably knew too), and when Rush kicked out of the Death Rider, Mox probably thought 'okay, no point doing a second one if he's going to kick out of the first, because I'll risk loving it all up, so I'll choke him instead', and what do you know? It worked!

Would it have worked if Mox hadn't hit the Death Rider beforehand? No, probably not, and if the finish was 'Rush is choked out without Mox hitting the Death Rider', it wouldn't have had the same impact, and they would have maybe had the slightest semblance of a point!

But that's not what happened, and their point is bullshit.

He has perhaps one valid point - gently caress anyone that did that #thankyouvince poo poo, celebrating a sexual predator and all. Everything else, that's a yikes.

Also yes, that's not really the point he's trying to make, obviously.

He’s a troll with the Forbes content farm and is notable for accepting a charcuterie tray from WWE for posting positive content about them. WWE also leaks him the fast nationals for Rampage when that show does bad.

He wants to be Ryan Satin but for Tony Khan instead of Vince McMahon. Seriously the way he rolled over when TK finally replied to one of his endless, begging tweets was more pathetic than anything Satin has done.

If you show them any big non wwf event after 1981 they'll say it was because Vince was around. So you'd have to show them stuff from pre 1981 and it can't be WWF or WWWF or else they would say well duh Vince's dad was really good. And you can't show them anything from Japan or Canada or Mexico because doesn't count wasn't in America.

I have no desire to jump into the Billi #discourse on Twitter, but I want to put this out there, so I'll say it here:

Contrary to what you may have heard elsewhere, he was kicked out of the back after the Flair show at LEAST three times. I've talked to three different people who had to kick him out three separate times total (one each). He tried to use his media pass to get access, but only VIP and All Access passes were permitted in the first place and he wasn't actually on the media list in the first place! (He had someone else's pass. No idea if he stole it or was gifted it by someone who had left.)

Earth-1145 is truly the best!
A world of singing, magic frogs,

It's crazy on a bunch of levels, but putting aside anything else:

There is only one promotion that pretends the internet doesn't exist, and it's WWE. Mance Warner is showing up on Rampage on Friday, and like pretty much every other wrestler who has shown up on AEW television, they acknowledged specific companies that he's wrestled in under the name Mance Warner. They showed a clip of him wrestling in another promotion. During his matches on Elevation and Rampage they will almost certainly mention his affiliation with the Second Gear Crew, they might mention his titles held in GCW and CZW, etc. If anything, they're at fault often for expecting everyone to just hop on the Internet and read up on their new/guest talent.

If in some bizarro universe WWE decided to bring in Mance Warner to run a match or program with Seth Rollins they'd change his name and if they deign to acknowledge he'd ever wrestled they'd refer to it in the vaguest of terms, maybe try to pretend he's a small town Texas Sherriff who decided to get into sports entertainment. They'd basically try to kayfabe his name, his background, his hometown, etc. etc. etc. even though the Internet exists and within minutes of debuting googling "Cletus Tenderfoot WWE" anyone would be able to find out his entire actual history.

Which loops back to the "well I assume Takeshita is just desperately taking every podunk indie date he can so he can afford to fly back to Japan" take: they know who Takeshita is because they've read that he's been jobbing on AEW TV, but no one really watches AEW, and if AEW cared about him they'd never let him take bookings at tiny indies with no TV that no one has ever heard of like BLP or Defy or Terminus or PWG or West Coast Pro or DPW or whatever, and those companies don't have TV so they're definitionally podunk indies, probably a dozen people in the crowds.

The Internet only barely exists in the WWE Universe.
