The way this tweet was worded made me realize HHH and Jericho's feud will continue as locker room leaders of their respective companies.

I don't mean this dismissively, I guess I see wrestling as inherently hosed up. I don't watch it too much these days but the drama is still fascinating to read/watch. Much better than a Netflix docu series.

so heres the thing about people in performing arts, we're already on the whole mostly hosed up and broken people. and most of us dont get dropped on our heads for a living. so

Most people said that the match of the weekend was either SIOG/Acclaimed or Sheamus/WALTER.

That's because all the people who'd pick the Trios or Eddie/Ishii are picking the tag match instead

It’s almost a good reason to have a dedicated Human Reaources department with professional managers, mediators, and group council era working to resolve the inevitable conflicts that form before they turn ugly.

Instead wrestling has “locker room leaders” and wrestlers court. The most dominant petty broken people leading the rest.

if i watched one i stole it, and even then i think the only ones i watched in full was greatest royal rumble and elimination chamber. everything else i looked up and it was just to see the absolute WMOTY kind of stuff from the shows.

David Otunga has a small role on this week's episode of She-Hulk. He's forgettable, but you should watch the episode anyway for the sake of Madisynn, the best new character in the MCU.

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.
Looks like Jinny got released too but she's happy being WALTER'S lady so it'll probably all work out. Real shame about her as she had a lot of potential and never had anything to work with. Also her best match was with Jimmy Havoc so it's hard to link that now.

That match ruled so much. I'm glad Sheamus is getting some recognition too. He's been putting on solid matches for the last few years now but he's been overlooked. Really putting a spotlight on him has helped a ton.

Wrestling is only good when the dumpster is on fire. But you can’t let the fire get out of control or Hulk Hogan and Vince Russo appear and make a mess of your pots and pans.

Yeah, but he hasn't had a title in the past few years. They said it during the match and I think it was three. He hasn't really been in the main event position much or at all during all the Reigns and Brock runs.
