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.

In this case it doesn't apply as Miro's stuff is finished. Last we heard he turned down the Ethan Page role in the tournament and they're workshopping ideas.

Either people are mangling what Dave Meltzer said or Dave is mangling what he was saying. It wasn't that Miro turned down the Ethan Page role, it's that what Miro turned down was more prominent than what Ethan Page said yes to.

I thin. It's Dave, the words fight each other on the way out.

Yeah, Dave mushed two points together and then rumors seems to have gotten the story more confused. Dave was saying that Miro was offered creative, contradicting the stories that he wasn't. And also saying that the reason someone like Ethan is on TV and Miro isn't is because Ethan was happy to accept booking that featured him on TV even if it didn't put him in the spot he wanted and Miro didn't accept that so he's not on TV right now.

Certain wrestling fans that can't breathe without Roman, would easily say "he isn't needed and never was good" the moment he leaves WWE.

I'll be honest WWE seems to be doing just fine without either wrestler. Aren't there ratings still good for them? And of course they are more profitable each year.

Sasha Banks had a throwaway 5 second part in a Star Wars spinoff show and the whole world has decided this makes her literally as big a crossover megastar as The Rock or something.

Raw just hit an all time low in Hour 3 this week. Smackdown was soft for awhile after Roman went part time but is stable now. They could definitely use one of their biggest stars.

Alfred is the biggest enigma of wrestling "journalists" to me. Somebody connected sends him those fast nationals, but why him? His tweets don't get much traction, he's very obviously just throwing poo poo into the wind to see what sticks, and he's not funny at all despite apparently being a professional comedian.

Because someone at WWE thinks he writes for the actual real Forbes when in real life he writes for the Forbes Contributor Network which is some unpaid freelance thing where you just send poo poo to them and then it gets put online.

I believe that he, at some point, had some sort of extremely low level but paid wrestling journalism gig, which theoretically gives him more cred than other random Twitter weirdos. His angle of being a proud Black man (which itself is obviously on its own a good thing) spins his WWE praise into that angle as well. He also nakedly and shamelessly shills for whoever gives him the slightest bit of crumbs, so WWE knows they can just keep giving him these crumbs and string him along rather than turning him into a full fledged paid shill Ryan Satin type.

He also hilariously got shut down hard a while back by Tony Khan when he attempted to switch his attempted grift onto AEW instead.

Edit: I believe the actual paid thing was before him being a Forbes third party random but please correct me if I'm wrong.

In the world of direct to VHS/DVD/streaming purgatory that most wrestlers live in, getting in Star Wars seems a big achievement if only for an episode. That's enough to get her action figures and raise her rates at cons someday

I still think about "dope rear end charcuterie board" every so often. Especially as I live in Pennsylvania and had a whole election cycle that also revolved around said boards.

Was reminded of the lazy Vince McMahon's Thoughts "parody" account and saw some absolutely lame tweets and then got recommended to follow a Bix parody account.

This tweet is even more overwritten than the Babylon Bee Stephen King tweet that was dissected a few weeks ago.
