Sometimes I just have to laugh at the kind of poo poo wrestling fans find interesting, especially me. I love how much endless funny rear end interviews there are. Bret Hart is so funny the way he looks at Tom.

Getting rid of work from home is a good way to punish your workers, while making sure they hate you. Maybe they’re desperate to restart the soccer team

We joke about Punk going on an apology tour, but damned if he didn't actually make amends with the Miz, and would have done the same with Paul Triple H if Daddy Mustache hadn't said no

Forgive my ignorance.

But why did Punk have beef with Miz?

Was it over some bullshit "Miz can't wrestle" thing Punk said somewhere? Coz surely Miz has heard worse about himself from people who would have meant it more at some stage. Also he doesn't seem the kind to get offended or hold grudges.

Or did Miz run his mouth about being better than Punk coz he won a Wrestlemanis Main Event, and Punk got rightfully offended? But Miz again doesnt seem the kind to do something that stupid and provably wrong.

He's publicly talked poo poo about Miz a lot, all the more jarring considering how Miz went out of his way to sing his praises on the Punk doco WWE did back in the day.

The only poo poo talk Miz has publicly done regarding Punk has been in response to Punk's apparently one-sided beef.

I don’t know anything about their supposed beef before this, or any instances where Punk was poo poo talking Miz unprovoked. The only instance I know is that Miz randomly took a shot at Punk referencing his first appearance on that lame Backstage show and Punk responded on Twitter with “go suck a blood money covered dick you loving dork”

It’s still very weird that Punk took that job

Per SRS, Punk's specific conversation card if you want to tea leaves it:

He spoke with Triple H, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, The Miz and Tamina, and was asked to leave.

To be fair, it's only developmental and always was (except when it was a valid third brand at Survivor Series the one night of the year where all brands face each other for supremacy up until a period where they moved to Wednesdays and then to Tuesdays for no obvious reason).

BAWWW-UNH!
Vince McMahon, WWE Sued by Ex-Writer Over ‘Racist’ Scene Scripts

quote:

World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., Vince McMahon, and other executives allegedly discriminated and retaliated against a Black female writer for objecting to “offensively racist and stereotypical jargon” used in the scripts of Black wrestlers including Bianca Belair and Apollo Crews, according to a new lawsuit.

Britney Abrahams’ multiple complaints were ignored, and she was pretextually terminated for taking home a WrestleMania-branded chair, according to the complaint filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York on Monday.

McMahon reinstated himself to the WWE’s board in January and in faces ongoing litigation stemming from his alleged rape and sexually assault of employees. The WWE recently announced it plans to merge with the UFC, which would create a $21.4 billion enterprise.

Abrahams began writing for WWE SmackDown! and WWE Monday Night RAW in 2020, according to the complaint. She complained of racial and gender stereotypes in scripts, including ones instructing Belair to say “Uh-Uh! Don’t make me take off my earrings and beat your rear end! " and Crews to speak with a “stereotypical and exaggerated Nigerian accent,” but was rebuffed, she said.

WWE didn’t immediately respond to Bloomberg Law’s request for comment.

‘Harmful Stereotypes’
She was allegedly subject to a number of racist pitches after complaining. On a Slack thread that McMahon and his daughter Stephanie McMahon were included on, other writers suggested a Black male wrestler should dress in drag. Only when a White writer noted that doing so could “perpetuate harmful stereotypes that would offend viewers” was the pitch scrapped, she said.

On another occasion, a writer allegedly proposed that a Muslim’s wrestler’s secret in a script be that he was “behind the 9/11 attacks.”

Abrahams and other writers complained about the comments, to which Vice President Christine Lubrano allegedly responded, “Wacky things are said in the writer’s room all the time!” and “I know but look at the waves we’re making in the company. 4 years ago, no woman worked on the writer’s team!”

Abrahams continued to opposed racist, sexist pitches, she said, and was fired in retaliation in April 2022. WWE fired her for taking with her a WrestleMania 38 branded chair, but the practice was allegedly a common practice that White male writers weren’t punished for.

She is seeking reinstatement, damages, declaratory judgment, and an injunction restraining defendants from engaging in such unlawful conduct.
