I read some comment on some dirtsheet site somewhere that speculated if Bobby Fish was the one that started leaking stories about Punk, hoping he'd blame the Bucks for it, and I'm choosing to believe that's just what happened in my own personal headcanon

They ain't the only ones who let their gimmick eat them alive. Hulk Hogan also had it happen, as did Ric Flair, Ted DiBiase did for a time before he pulled back via religion (god I hope that is an example of religion actually having a positive effect on someone), Bret Hart in his own way, Steve Austin in his own way (supposedly during the last few years with his on off runs in the WWE there were stories of him just sitting around at his ranch home drinking and going stir crazy because without the constant hustle and travel and action of wrestling, he had no idea what to do with himself), both the Hardys, the just spoken of Adam Scherr...really. Be careful who you pretend to be, again.

I've got some news for that:

Wikipedia posted:

In February 2020, it was reported that DiBiase's ministry received more than $2.1 million in welfare funds from the state of Mississippi after his son, Brett, was hired as deputy administrator of the state's Department of Human Services.[58] His son, Brett, pleaded guilty to creating fraudulent statements in what has been labeled as Mississippi's largest public embezzlement case in state history.[59] In October 2021, a court ordered Ted DiBiase, Sr. to pay $722,299 of the misappropriated funds given to his Heart of David Ministries.[60] In May 2022, the Mississippi Department of Human Services sued DiBiase, his sons, and retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre, and several others to recover more than $20 million in money "squandered" from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families anti-poverty program.[61]

In April 2022, the Mississippi Office of State Auditor reported that DiBiase personally received a $250,000 check from the Family Resource Center, a Mississippi welfare grantee, to "provide services as a Motivational Speaker." DiBiase forwarded an email from the welfare grantee to his sons, Ted DiBiase, Jr. and Brett DiBiase, stating, “Look what I got today!". [62]

Jon Moxley's is good. It's very much written in his own voice in a way that the whole things reads like a stream of consciousness promo

I enjoyed Jericho's first book but he lost me with later ones. I got into wrestling in part because a buddy gave me Foley's books and he then gave me Bret's book, and I don't regret reading it or anything, but he's a real weird dude and it's real long and based on his notes from the time, so it's very much Bret's then-current (distorted and often self-justifying) viewpoint. I say that as a dude who has come to really like Bret and take his side, stuff like justifying his cheating a bit or him writing about peeing on stuff is a bit suspect.

It's a work. Punk was hurt(again) so they pulled the trigger on a story they've been alluding to since he started there. Punk said this was going to happen, Mox said it was going to happen, Hanger said it was going to happen, MJF said it was going to happen.

There is not other way to get audiences to boo CM Punk.

But no, Omega was in Japan within a week and BIG SURPRISE he's going to be doing work with Capcom for awhile. Just out of nowhere.

And he has a bite mark on his arm only after fans start asking interviewers if they saw it.


It's probably not a work.

Foley's first book was great, second book was alright, it gets bogged down a bit when he just talks about writing books and going to amusement parks, books after that had an uncomfortable amount of simping on Stephanie Mcmahon. I forgot which one he talks about spanking it to vintage incest porn.

So in this thread, Bray Wyatt had come up as a performer who may or may not have been good and may or may not have been wasted by WWE and may or may not have been trashed for no good reason.

Under Triple H, he apparently has been brought back. So that's interesting to me, as someone who appreciates when wrestling doesn't take itself seriously and has weird characters.

Speaking of, what's the latest with Alexa Bliss? Did they completely throw away her psycho monster character? And did they replace it with anything or is she just another generic wrestler now?

Exploration is ill-advised.
Big changes of creative direction from a company after a change of management is always interesting, whether a trainwreck like WB or pulling out of a tailspin like Games Workshop. Does sound more like the latter where they're bringing back a lot of fun stuff the fans like that was trashed for no real reason other than the last guy in charge not liking it.
