Is anyone ITT actually watching WWE? Because I am wondering if people have started saying words like 'wrestler' and 'belt' again.

I need to catch up on the past week, but after having not watched for literal years, this year's SummerSlam and the two Raws after that were all actually pretty good. Haven't bothered to watch Smackdown though, and from the little I've seen of NXT 2.0 since Vince left, it's still not all that good.

In an interview, Matt Hardy said that Vince McMahon once told him that it's natural basic human instinct to want to eat a person in a wheelchair

Do you think he meant that he think's it's natural to want to eat a wheelchair-bound person, or to eat a person while seated in a wheelchair yourself?

One time Vince said something like when he eats Oreos he never eats just a few because those go right onto your gut and makes you fat so instead he eats the entire package of Oreos all at once because the body can't handle them all at once and they just go right through you

I get what he's going for from a storytelling perspective. I do. It makes sense. The warning not to hurt each other for real is, imo, pretty nice, too, though he didn't need to whip out his dick to say it.

But, uh, maybe instead of talking about eating the handicapped he should've gone with: "And at that point I want you to act really vicious. Act like you're a shark that smells blood in the water, like you're a predator coming in for the kill. You need to really sell to the crowd that this is a brutal fight and not just a friendly match."

As hosed up as this obviously is, I like how E&C come out of this thinking "we ended up nearly huddled together on the couch in terror and therefor it was possibly his way of getting us back together....and it worked. hosed up, man."
Like Vince terror-coastered them back into a relationship.

i think there is a limit to how much fat you can absorb in a short period so that's probably based on a kernel of truth deep down

Chiunque può essere Luther Blissett, semplicemente adottando il nome Luther Blissett

I do love that after 40+ years I still can't quite place Vince McMahon

like, occasionally you'll get someone talking openly about Vince sitting them down and going over complex wrestling psychology and concepts, or insisting that they put their hands up on a chairshot for their own safety, and it's very obvious that he's a guy playing a character on television and doesn't actually run around firing people backstage

but then you'll get a story about how you have to show an entire pack of oreos who's boss, or him being pissed off all day because he sneezed in a meeting, and it's all up in the air again

otoh there's a story about how New Jack was told not to talk to Vince backstage, did anyway, and then was summarily fired by telephone later that afternoon

but I strongly suspect that story has a missing segment where a red-faced Vince (played by Gary Oldman) walks around a room trying to find out which motherfucker hired goddamn New Jack to work on his television show

Vince is like a lot of billionaires, too estranged from the hoi pollei for peer pressure to take care of his various weird and bad habits.

And as far as wrestling, there was a time Vince knew wrestling perfectly and intimately. His weird wrestling poo poo only showed up when he had no competition to compare himself to - early 90s gimmick crap before WCW, and everything after WCW folded. But he still had enough flexibility in the 90s to be able to say WCW was kicking his rear end and he needed to change. The love of weird gimmicky poo poo never changed - but his flexibility slowly went away over the years, until today where nothing is left but a hollow petty tyrant who thinks he's still got it - a precarious throne to sit upon, as recent events have proven.
