I mean I guess it's admirable that she could want to be the catalyst for change in that place in terms of how they portray non-white characters, but I don't think anyone has that power.

Also, lol this is not the brag they think it is:

I'm pretty sure the bringing people back into the office thing is to get them to quit so they have less firing to do, right?

Yep, it’s a soft layoff. They’re trying to get the numbers down to decrease severance payouts and negative press.

Weren't WWE stans *just* complaining about Vikingo and Komander's stuff looking too contrived because of setup?

I had to hear about this from my friend who always comes to me about the gifs he sees on squaredcircle last week. Talking about how stupid and fake Komander's rope walk looks and how AEW is leaning too much into flippy guys who can't make it look good. I was like man how about you watch the whole loving match instead of the 30 second clip teed up to you by the freaks over at reddit who are looking for something to wail about. This was the same week that the clip of the guy from smackdown doing the same thing was circulating around but he had no idea about that one, weirdly enough.

It’s because they straight up don’t care and just want reasons to dunk on AEW. The PC is literally training their wrestlers to wrestle store brand Young Bucks matches and when they don’t gently caress up the moves people are calling for them to be called up to the main roster after like 3 months of NXT

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.

Weirdly this move used to be used often by Brody King so I was thinking of yeah I know this it's cool lucha stuff

And then that happened.

I see people on Twitter trying to say that this will get Vince ousted again, even though it’s more likely that they’ll just fire half the writing staff and move on, just like most years

It's absolutely ridiculous. Just imagine Apollo doing an exaggerated Nigerian accent on TV. The outrage surely would have been enough to bring the company down.

I know I've harped on about this before, but is there a stated agenda for modern NXT? Like I know when it was good it was supposed to have been a super indie where people could strut before being comically mangled by the main roster creative process, but is it now just... a wrestling show put on by a mixture of their greenest talent?

My brain has trouble grasping the point. It'd be like if you had a show that consisted of rookie writers getting their first drafts filmed. Or is the idea here that it's a developmental league in the same sense that non-major league sports will sometimes get airtime? But those sort of things tend to air on the more grognard-y channels of local TV and sports networks, not national cable.
