Since my brain is only partially ruined by wrestling I immediately realized he was talking about dynamite, but assumed it was "So they nailed the landing?"

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 will say it is incredibly loving weird that we're like three weeks in and Jay White hasn't had a mic in front of a live crowd, yet.

Like, you compare it to the rollouts of other massive FA acquisitions like, off the top of my head, Adam Cole and a run-in, a pretape and a midcard match where he's mostly selling for the guy who's about to get the #AllElite slogan are not what I would've expected.

That seems mildly weird at best given he got a taped promo.

Kacy Catanzaro / Katana Chance was a Division I NCAA gymnast before making her name on American Ninja Warrior. Needless to say WWE have done gently caress all with her in the six years she's been working there.

It’s been 6 years? How does she compare to someone with less experience, like Anna Jay or Skye Blue?

She's an entirely adequate wrestler. She's had some pretty good matches (usually tags with her partner Kayden Carter). I'd say that her average match is better than Skye's average and her best match isn't as good as Anna's, if that's a decent guide.

That does help, thanks. It seems like a waste to change her name and keep a tv-ready wrestler off the main roster, but that’s WWE for you.

I don't think Carpentier was ever Olympic level but he didn't really have a chance to be since he was in the French Resistance during his peak.

Did you know that normally when people re-activate a burner under a new name they delete all of the old tweets but forget that there are other ways the old account shows up?

Did you know that sometimes people even forget to do that so that if you look at old tweets in say, The Chris Regal Memorial Thread it becomes obvious what's going on?

I post this one because when I first noticed this the account had been re-branded ELITE TEARS so it was pretty clearly going to be an Anti-AEW WrestleCringe because the account deactivated when it got screenshotted by WrestleCringe.

Malakai immediately feuded with Cody, who was a top guy and it positioned him as somebody extremely important, then uh, he just. Kept on feudin' with Cody. Until it wasn't important at all, anymore.

Cole was also immediately working with Jurassic Express, and then feuding with Orange Cassidy. Jack Perry and Orange Cassidy may not necessarily be main eventers, but they're treated as reasonably big deals in their own right.

It's kind of telling that Jay White going into a feud with Ricky Starks isn't seen as big enough or important enough, even though Starks is in the middle of a big push and is one of their top prospects. "Either you're fighting for the world title or you don't matter" is some very WWE style thinking.

I think the main issue is Jay and Ricky have barely shared any screen time together yet so it doesn't really feel like they're feuding. Give them a promo segment and let Jay let rip
