I may be mistaken but I thought that at some point in the past the Vince McMahon's Thoughts twitter was actually trying to parody Vince McMahon and now it's just a bog standard WWE Twitter guy who ends his tweets with ", pal."

It could actually be a reference to several recent moments in Punk's career.

I'm still laughing that people think a song about someone being full of themselves and then learning humility and how wrong they were could be about Punk. He's obviously never learned.

CNN wrote a puff piece about Beau James and The Progressive Liberal and how much heat it gets, what a big deal it is, etc. It's very silly.

It's made even sillier when you look at Dan Richards on cagematch and see he's barely wrestled in the last few years! Cagematch isn't exhaustive, he's clearly had a couple matches as The Progressive Liberal that aren't there, but when a guy is making so little dent in wrestling that he can't even get his matches in cagematch it's hilarious that another outlet got worked by Beau James into thinking this gimmick is a big deal. Granted it has been a few years since the last pieces, but it's still funny.

Yeah that strikes me as just recycling an article they started in 2016 but couldn't rush out with the other breathless reporting on him.
At the time I thought it was a cute way to stand out among the school gym/Veterans Hall jobbers. It's weird that mainstream news picked up the story again though.

A reporter at CNN overhears a co-worker say the words "Progressive Liberal" and their brain misfires, causing them to remember some puff piece from 2015 and thinking "hey wrestling drives clicks..."

Days later they are at some god awful indie show getting worked by Beau James.

And people claim I never say anything nice about Beau James.

That sucks so much rear end. Progressive Liberal is a heel gimmick. Like the whole point is a smug rear end in a top hat who thinks he knows better than you.

OFFICIAL RACIST
So KAIRI did an interview and mentioned that WWE matches are too heavily scripted/structured to the point of where there's little to no room to go over time.

https://twitter.com/Himanshu_Doi/status/1595338987597488128

Naturally her saying that wrestlers didn't get a lot of time to practice led people to believe that it led to a bunch of injuries on reddit. One such incident pointed out was Charlotte in the TLC match when she lost her temper. However when this was pointed out, people got really mad and are now claiming that never happened.

quote:

dude this horseshit never happened. you creeps with a weird hateboner for Charlotte are the loving worst

Kairi helped to get through the table spot right after the botched spear. there was no screaming or any of that poo poo. if Asuka had known earlier she'd probably have left her on the busted table and done the rest of the spots herself but she helped her up first. after that all three of them did everything they could to avoid Kairi. including Charlotte. she never even touched her after Becky told her Kairi was concussed

fucken crazy that y'all make up poo poo that didnt happen just for an excuse to bitch at someone

Pretty sure KAIRI absolutely did not want to take a powerbomb at the time as she was telling people something was wrong, and on the backstage watchalong, even loving Dana Brooke knew something was off before Charlotte did.

quote:

Charlotte slapped Kairi to cover what she thought was a blown spear spot. Y'all are too much.

Next you'll bring up the time Charlotte forgot how to kick someone when she was taunting Rhea.

The funniest part about that second quote is claiming that Charlotte slapped KAIRI just to cover up a blown spear spot, when you could hear Charlotte yelling at KAIRI for trying to "big league" her. It's definitely not because Charlotte is notorious for having a lovely attitude and the mask slips whenever she isn't booked to be on top of the division. No sir.

SquaredCircle users are talking about their “holy poo poo” dream moments for wrestling and this one made me cackle

quote:

Wyatt comes up with an unbelievably compelling storyline that somehow crosses over into the mainstream and turns WWE into must-see TV. People talk about it at work like Breaking Bad or GoT.

gently caress it, I can dream.


Bray Wyatt making something must see TV is truly a dream
