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.

i never really understood Jim Cornette and the "bring back wrasslin" people until Logan Paul did that and now I get it. There is nothing dumber than recording yourself with a cell phone during a wrestling match esp a main event PPV against the champ. Like I know kayfabes dead but thats just pissing on its grave.

Well, now that he has settled his legal case over raping a woman, we never need to think about it again and can go right back to doing the tacky wayne’s world worship of vince

Done and done, right? There shouldn’t be any other ramifications, right? It’s not like he committed a brutal sex assault or anything.

I doubt he would even need to do the settlement but he probably wants it to go away if he is going to sell.

I pay millions of dollars on a settlement when I know I’m innocent. Don’t construe my decision as me admitting guilt I’m just making sure I don’t spend billions of dollars on legal fees.

It got aggregated into the IHeartRadio news feed so a bunch of random IHeartRadio affiliates like this are all tweeting it at once. Just imagining being one of the 300 people who follows this station because I like R&B and learning about this story for the first time.

This is honestly a genius heel wrestler with a rich guy gimmick idea, and I'm surprised at least one indie wrestler or manager (ala I dunno, Tiger Millionaire or something) hasn't done this yet.

Ariya daivari has been doing this in aew, and the distance between this and godfather’s old offering-a-ho routine, or dibiase buying the title off of andre is a hair’s breadth difference

I like it when it is used sparingly and done well. I like gimmicks that do that elaborate of a setup, i popped for “hole in one” barry darsow on wcw saturday night doing his goofy long winded timewaster golf putting gimmick

I'd be OK with it, if anyone other than a sexual predator did something like that in a battle royale.

But then, I'm not a WWE watcher, so :shrug:
